Dear Neighbors,
Houston Community College is open and safe with flexible ways for you to begin or resume your learning experiences. We’re committed to keeping
you connected during this unpredictable pandemic.
HCC is offering four attendance options to help you achieve your educational goals:

•	Flex Campus: Students enroll in classes and have the choice to attend either online or in person at the scheduled dates and times

•	Lab-Based Courses: HCC’s skills-based, hands-on lab courses host fewer students per section to enable social distancing

•	Online Anytime: Students take classes online at any time. These are traditional online classes, and students never come to campus

•	Online on a Schedule: Students take classes online at scheduled class time they select when enrolling, and never come to campus

There are new in-person protocols for students, faculty and staff. Everyone must pass a pre-screening each day before coming to campus. We have temperature checks at entrances, more surface cleaning and additional sanitizer stations.
We also have added extra classes and rearranged classrooms to ensure social distancing. When on campus, wear a mask, stay six feet apart and wash your hands regularly. If you are sick, please stay at home.

Get started today at hccs.edu/now for Spring 2021 enrollment and financial aid information.
