Whether you want to earn a Maryland high school diploma or refresh your knowledge for college, work or life, HCC can help!

View High School Diploma Programs
Unless otherwise specified, fall classes will run August 31^st through December 9^th.

Fall 2020 registration is by appointment only!

CLICK HERE < https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904044aa9aa2ea7ff2-register> to reserve your registration appointment. There are sessions scheduled in the mornings and evenings, week days and weekends, throughout August.

What to expect:

Make sure your computer or smartphone has audio and video capabilities. You can use either for registration, but it is easier with a computer.

Have your home address, phone number, and email address ready. For returning students, please have your HCC student ID number ready.

Have your credit card or debit card ready to make payment.

Download the Zoom app < https://zoom.us/download> to video chat with an advisor in Zoom.

If you have never taken classes with us before, or it’s been several years since you have, you will need to take reading and math placement tests before registration. These take about an hour to complete and you can do them on your own. We will reach out to you separately to schedule that.
College Readiness
If you have a high school diploma but need to improve basic skills in math, writing, or reading before taking college classes, we offer the following courses that can help you prepare.
- Math Review I and Math Review II
- Reading and English for Academic Challenges (REACH)
