Spring 2021

While we continue to offer a majority of our classes and support services online, our campuses will provide a more comprehensive, in-person class schedule and associated student services in order to meet the needs of all our students during this unprecedented time. To protect everyone while on campus, we have implemented a variety of safety protocols as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and local and state health officials. This includes the requirement of face masks to be worn while on campus, social distancing, and hand sanitizing and temperature check stations, in addition to physical changes made to our spaces to promote physical distancing.

HCC holds the safety, health and welfare of our students, faculty and staff in highest regard. As the need arises, HCC will transition on-campus courses to online learning to protect the HCC community from the Coronavirus. Please visit our COVID-19 webpage for the latest information on the college’s response to the pandemic

For more information on online learning, including the opportunity to test drive an online course, please see our HCC Online webpage. There are three types of online courses available. Register for the type of online course that works best for you.

Online: With live class meetings

Fully online instructor-led course, with live interactive weekly class meetings facilitated by your instructor in Canvas. Meetings and communication are through chat, email and/or videoconferencing. Faculty and students are online at the same time for the class meetings with additional online work done on their own.

Online: No live class meetings

Fully online, instructor-led course, without mandatory class meetings. Instructor communication and feedback is through Canvas. Students can access class resources and complete work on their own schedule (by posted due dates), as the instructor releases materials. Faculty and students are not necessarily online at the same time unless an appointment is scheduled.

Hybrid

For those of you not ready for a fully online course, HCC offers hybrid courses that combine in person and online delivery. Hybrid courses (also known as blended courses) replace a portion of traditional face-to-face instruction with web-based online learning (e.g., video lectures, online discussions, or activities).
