Transcripts
Most colleges will accept HCCC credit you earn in high school if you've earned a grade of C or better. But policies differ from college to college, so if you're concerned about whether the colleges you might want to attend are likely to accept the credit you earn from HCCC, you should call them and ask to speak with the chairperson of the academic department in which you wish to major or the college registrar. They will not be able to give you a definitive answer until after you've completed the course and given them an official copy of your transcript. But they should be able to tell you their general policies.
Transferring Credit
After you've completed an HCCC course in high school through College Now and you know which college you will attend, you should follow the steps below:
- Find out to which person or office you should have your HCCC transcript sent.
- Complete an HCCC Transcript Request Form, enclose the fee, and return it to the HCCC Registrar's Office to ask that your transcript be mailed to the college you'll attend. Each official transcript request cost $5 each. Request forms are available in the HCCC Registrar's Office, your high school guidance office, and online.
- A few weeks after you've completed the HCCC Transcript Request Form, check with the person or office to whom you sent your transcript to see whether it arrived and when you may expect a decision about your credits from HCCC.
If the college you plan to attend has questions about the College credits you earned through College Now, you should provide information about the course you took (your course portfolio, the course description, course outline and syllabus, course requirements). If someone still has questions about the classes you took, please contact the Assistant Dean at HCCC (using the contact information at the back of this guide).
If you know the college you wish to attend never accepts college credits earned in high school, taking classes in College Now will still be beneficial to you: you may change your mind later and decide to attend a different college; your registration in these classes will help show that you're a serious student when you apply to college; or you may simply find that classes in College Now help prepare you academically to be a full-time college student.
