Dear Neighbors,

Happy New Year! There has never been a better time to attend Houston Community College. Our programs feature affordable and convenient classes at both our Central and
Southeast campuses.

High school students can take dual credit classes and graduating seniors can begin their college work with HCC and get a jump start on achieving certificates or associate degrees as on their way to achieving their educational goals. Campuses are close and conveniently near Metro rail and bus lines.

Many of our on-campus courses have been converted to online classes. In fact, there are more ways to learn now than ever before – and enrolling is easy by visiting: hccs.edu/now

You can choose from these options:

Flex Campus: Students attend online or in person at the scheduled dates and times
Lab-Based Courses: HCC’s skills-based, hands-on lab courses host fewer students per section to enable social distancing
Online Anytime: Students conveniently take classes online any time. These are traditional online classes, and students are never required to be physically present on campus
Online on a Schedule: Students take classes online at scheduled class time and never required to be physically present on campus

Our financial aid staff at hccs.edu/financial-aid can also advise you on how to apply for filing Federal Student Aid applications and discuss funds available for retraining. They can also help you to apply for scholarships through the Houston Community College foundation.

See you soon at Houston Community College! Sincerely,
