Let’s work together to keep our students on track. Please help us drive them toward successfully completing their credentials.
The team that brings students their New Student Orientation has expanded its role to help them move seamlessly through the enrollment process. The New Student Orientation team is always there to move students from admit to registration while empowering them to knowledgeably and confidently interact with HACC resources and key personnel.
