Transfer F1 Students

How to transfer to Howard Community College as an F1 student

  • Submit all F1 application materials (including completed Transfer Eligibility Form) to Howard Community College by the appropriate deadline (see below).  Upon verifying that the application is complete, we will issue the student an acceptance letter to HCC.
