Future Credit Eligibility

High school students should be aware that a low GPA, low credit ratio, or taking too many unrequired courses can negatively impact their future financial aid eligibility. A student with a low ratio of credits earned to credits attempted may lose federal financial aid eligibility. Dropped courses do not appear on the student's transcript; however, courses a student withdraws from do appear on the transcript and count as "credits attempted." Although most colleges have shown a general willingness to accept SUNY HCCC transfer credits, a few colleges will not accept credits earned while a student is in high school. It is strongly recommended that students check with their choice of private college/university (or schools not in the SUNY system) for acceptance of College Now courses. Any credits earned in the program will automatically be accepted at HCCC.
