age, marital status, disability, or status as a disabled veteran
or Vietnam era veteran.
HCC offers open admissions and applications are processed in the
order they are received. Most programs do not have an application
deadline, but we suggest submitting your application well in advance
of the semester in which you wish to enroll. This gives you more
time to complete assessment testing, apply for financial aid, and
choose from the best selection of courses.

the following qualifications are welcome to enroll in non-selective
programs on a space available basis:

Admission to HCC does not guarantee admission to all programs. Based
upon their assessment results and program objectives, students may
be admitted conditionally and required to take developmental and/or
prerequisite courses. In additiion, special admissions requirements
have been established for selective programs which require that
students possess prior college-level skills and knowledge.
Financial Aid
