What is the Catalog?
The catalog provides an overview of HCC’s academic programs, courses, degree requirements, policies, educational resources, and facilities, as well as a faculty and staff directory.
How do I use the Catalog?
Links on the left will guide you through catalog content. Course Descriptions allows users to filter by prefix, code, type or keyword.
Archived Catalogs
Because degree and certificate requirements are based on the year you enroll in a program, it is important to refer to the catalog that was current the year that you enrolled. New editions of the catalog are published each spring for the upcoming fall, spring and summer, and previous editions are added to the archives. Because program requirements change, it’s important, when reviewing your progress, to select the correct catalog for the year you entered your program.
Archived catalogs: Visit the
Publications Page
on the HCC website.
