HACC Announces Plans for Spring 2022 Semester
We’re happy to announce that HACC’s goal for the spring 2022 semester is to offer more on-campus classes. We will:
Continue to provide a variety of course instruction offerings, including on-campus instruction, remote instruction and virtual learning
Use enrollment patterns from the fall 2021 semester and feedback from the student survey to help guide the scheduling process
Prioritize bringing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses on campus when possible to ensure students are prepared for the hands-on elements of careers and transfer opportunities
Continue to offer online and select on-campus student services
Continue to evaluate student-enrollment trends, COVID-19 metrics in HACC’s service region and ongoing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), governmental and medical guidance. We will adjust course offerings as appropriate for student needs and employee and student safety.
Providing these options is a move toward the future of higher education, not just a response to the pandemic. Our students desire a variety of choices, and we must remain flexible to pivot to address their needs.
As always, YOUR safety is our top priority. Although we cannot control COVID-19 and how it spreads or guarantee safety from it, we will continue to do our part to help maintain student, employee and building safety by following protocols, as per governor’s orders and CDC recommendations.
Please visit hacc.edu/COVIDannouncements for more details and note that this information is tentative and subject to change.
Student Spotlight
Meet Tammy: First-Generation College Grad
Tammy Winand, an alumna of HACC’s Nursing Program, graduated from high school in 2002 and said she “never considered going to college.”
She said, “No one in my family ever attended, and I always assumed I couldn’t afford it. Over the years, I held a variety of jobs, including retail and factory work but was never really satisfied. Meanwhile, a friend was attending HACC and kept encouraging me to apply, emphasizing that the tuition was extremely reasonable. It wasn’t until I found myself unemployed that I realized I needed a career I could count on.”
