Start Your Application

After you submit your application, you'll receive an email with your conditional acceptance letter. You won't be officially admitted to HCC until after you submit your additional required materials, which include:

1. Concurrent Enrollment Letter: Request one from your primary school, then scan and save it on your computer as a PDF file. To upload, please save all pages into one PDF file. Do not upload password-protected documents! Note: You will need a letter for each semester you enroll at HCC.
2. Submit and complete any other items in the student system under your F-1 Student Checklist. Log into the student system using your HCC W number and password.
3. If you do not see an F-1 Student Checklist, please send an email to oiss.international@hccs.edu with your HCC student ID, "CONCURRENT," and the semester you're applying for, written in the subject line. Check your account again within 3 business days, and the F-1 Student Checklist should now be available.

Make sure to onitor your F-1 Student Checklist for additional documents that may be required.

HCC will use unofficial transcripts/grade reports and TSI scores for initial advisement and placement purposes. However, a transcript hold will be placed on your record until an official transcript is received in the Office of Student Records within the first semester of enrollment. English proficiency test may apply.

You may submit a transcript or score report by:

1. Taking it to the Registrar’s Office on campus.
2. Electronic submission from your school.
3. Directly mailing a sealed transcript.

If you need to directly mail an official transcript or score report to HCC, please use the following address:

Houston Community College
Office of Student Records
P.O. Box 667517, MC 1136
Houston TX 77266-7517

Transcripts

If this is your first time enrolling at HCC, you will need to set up a virtual appointment with an academic advisor at the HCC campus where you are planning to attend classes. Your advisor will help you decide which classes to take for your program. Book your advising appointment as soon as you can.

After you've discussed your program plan and class placements with your advisor, you can register for classes in the next step.

Placement tests or prerequisites may apply.

Academic Advising

To start adding classes to your schedule, log in to the Student Center. 

After you've added all your classes to your schedule, you will need to pay your account balance.
