HCC offers a multitude of support services for students, from the Center for Academic Program Support to the Advising Center and Counseling Center. In addition we offer a number of special support programs aimed at specific groups of students. Check them out—one of them may be right for you!

First Year Experience
If you are a new student working toward an Associate's Degree, the First Year Experience (FYE) program is designed to help you successfully transition to college and achieve your academic goals. You'll be part of a cohort of liberal arts students who have access to an FYE advisor, as well as FYE Learning Communities and courses.

Nursing Success Program
HCC's Nursing Success Program provides quality advising and support to students intent on pursuing a career in nursing. We are strongly attached to the Foundation of Health Program and disseminate information through class visits, advising and monthly information sessions. NSP also strives to better reflect our community in regard to language, ethnicity and culture.

Pathways
