Credit students will need to have enrollment process started to register for classes.
Once a student has gone through the application / enrollment process and is enrolled in HCD, the student will still need to register for classes each semester prior to the registration deadline. First-time students may register for classes while they are completing the enrollment process.
Credit Students
Students currently enrolled in HCD need to complete a registration form and submit it to the Registrar with the appropriate tuition prior to the registration deadline each term. If students are applying for the institutional scholarship program, they must complete a scholarship application form and submit it prior to the scholarship application deadline. These forms may also obtained from the Registrar’s Office.
Non-credit Students
Need to complete a registration form and submit it to the Registrar with the appropriate non-credit tuition prior to the registration deadline each semester. Non-credit students do not need to submit an application or an application fee. A student taking classes in a non-credit status will not receive credit for taking the class. A grade will not be issued, nor will a transcript will be provided. We do not offer non-credit status for PACE Degree Completion Programs or online classes at this time.
Active Status
Studentsare considered active if they are successfully taking classes for credit without missing more than one term consecutively.
Inactive Status
Any student who does not successfully complete at least one class for credit for two consecutive terms will be considered inactive. Inactive students will be subject to any program or policy changes, including changes in tuition rates when they resume taking classes. Students who have been inactive for less than one year may return to active status once they re-apply / re-enroll and successfully complete at least one class for credit. Students who remain inactive for one year or more must repeat the admissions procedures to return to active status.
