Transient & Cross-Enrolled Students
3 Brandon students

Students attending other colleges or universities who wish to take courses at HCC in order to fulfill degree requirements at their home institutions may be admitted as transient students. Prior to registration, if students wish to apply as transient, they must submit an HCC application and documentation from the home institution that:

• Certifies they are in good academic standing.

• Indicates the HCC courses in which students may enroll.

• Affirms that they may use the courses completed and credits earned at HCC to meet the program requirements at the home institution. 

Students attending a public Florida postsecondary institution should submit this information via the Online Transient Student Form.   

Transient students are not required to provide official transcripts of their previous college coursework.  However, if the documentation from their home institution does not indicate the HCC courses in which the students may enroll, applicants must provide unofficial transcripts to verify they meet HCC course prerequisites.

NOTE: HCC students who wish to attend another college as transient students must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and must obtain written permission from the appropriate campus dean of student services or his/her designee if attending a non-public Florida postsecondary institution. Forms are available in each campus advising/counseling office.  Students attending a Florida postsecondary institution should submit this information via the Online Transient Student Form.  NOTE:  Each institution’s authorization chain is different.  Please allow at least 24 hours for processing between institutions.

HCC/University of South Florida cross-enrollment agreement

Hillsborough Community College has joint academic and technical articulation agreements with the University of South Florida (USF). These agreements specify the guidelines and procedures for the associate in arts degree program and the cross enrollment program.  The associate in arts degree program articulation agreement complies with the statewide Articulation Agreement 6A-10.024. The agreement addresses both general admission to USF and program admission.

The cross-enrollment program allows students from each institution to enroll for credit at the other. Students will then have access to courses not normally offered at their home institutions. Students must obtain permission from their home institutions before cross enrolling. After completing a course, students must ask the host institution to send an official transcript to their home institution.

HCC students who cross-enroll at USF will pay USF tuition for courses they take. Fees for parking on the USF campus are charged separately. HCC students should contact their counselor or advisor for more information or for assistance completing a Cross-Enrollment Form.  HCC students denied admission to USF may not enroll at USF under this agreement.

To cross-enroll at USF, an HCC student must:

1.         Have an HCC cumulative GPA of at least 2.0.

2.         Have completed 24 or more credits at HCC.

3.         Unless the student is graduating, enroll for at least two courses (six credit hours) at HCC.

International students (F-1 Visa) enrolled at HCC must attend HCC full-time during any term in which they wish to cross-enroll.  USF students must have a signed approval from their counselor/advisor before they can register at HCC.  Both HCC and USF students must adhere to the rules and regulations of the host institution. 

Refer to the HCC calendar for exact dates of registration.
