New Directions for Adult Learners
It's a great time to be an adult student! Across the nation, adults are enrolling in colleges and universities in record numbers. At HCC, adult learners find the individualized attention and flexibility they need to achieve their goals.
HCC's New Directions college success program serves students age 24 and older, parents, and veterans, including those who have been out of school for many years. We recognize that adults often need help balancing college life with career, family, personal, and/or military responsibilities. New Directions is free – our only goal is to help you succeed at HCC, define your career and educational goals, and discover opportunities for transfer to a four-year college or university.

- Pre-enrollment counseling
