HCC’s Remote Operating Schedule

Mar 21, 2020


The health and safety of our students, faculty and staff is our most important priority, which is why we have taken steps to close all HCC facilities and transition our operations and classes online.


The schedule below outlines how HCC will shift to fully remote operations.  It is subject to change based on recommendations from the CDC and local authorities as the COVID-19 situation evolves.


We appreciate your patience and support while we work through this situation.  Our goal is to help our students, faculty and staff successfully finish this semester, and together we know we can achieve this.
