Protect Your Student Record Information
- When you enroll at Howard Community College, you become responsible for all actions taken on your student record. All changes to your student record must be done by you via your HCC email or in writing. Your parents, spouse, or others cannot make these changes.
- In addition, never share your username or passwords to college-assigned accounts. This ensures that your online identity remains both protected and authenticated. Learn more about how HCC protects your student record information.
