Please contact the Welcome Center at onestopwc@hacc.edu if you have any questions or if you need assistance. Note: HACC does not automatically transfer credits from other institutions for guest students. If you want to transfer credits to HACC, please apply as a transfer student.
If you’ve taken courses at HACC in the past five years, you do not need to reapply for admissions. Please follow steps 4-7 for guest students and contact our Welcome Center at onestopwc@hacc.edu if you have any questions.
