LET’S GET THIS JOURNEY STARTED

New to college? Here’s how to apply to HCC and start building a better tomorrow—right here in your own backyard.

Apply as a freshman if you’ve never taken a college class or if you took dual-credit, SEEK, or dual-enrolled classes in high school. If you’ve taken college classes, apply as a transfer student.

  1. Submit the Application for Admission. It’s free, and it only takes about 15 minutes to complete.

  3. Submit your ACT or SAT scores or the results of placement testing.
     
  4. Explore financial aid. Our generous scholarships, grants and loans make a great education even more affordable. Here’s how.
