Just a quick note to let you know about some exciting changes that are coming to Community Education in 2016.

This move is temporary while Edgewood Hall receives a much needed renovation and 6,000 BELCAMP square feet of new open classroom and laboratory space. Edgewood Hall’s projected re-opening will be in 2017.

M B CENTER C All class registration services will be available at the registration desk in Darlington Hall with the hours remaining the same, as follows: L Monday – Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

HOW TO REGISTER

To register online, visit www.harford.edu/ resource/solar and click on the SOLAR link found at the bottom of the page for complete instructions on how to register and make payment. If you are a new HCC student, you must click on the “Continuing Education Noncredit Online Application” link in order to complete the online application process before registering. For questions about the online application process, registration, and/ or payment, call 443-412-2376, ext. 5. You may also visit your local Harford County Public Library for assistance with online registration.

Please note there is no automatic drop for nonpayment of Continuing Education classes. You must contact the College if you wish to withdraw from a class.

In Person Students may register in person in Darlington Hall, Monday through Thursday, 7:30 AM to 7 PM; Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM; and Saturday, 9 AM to 12 PM. Payment by check, money order or credit card (Discover, MasterCard, American Express or VISA) is required at the time of registration. Cash cannot be accepted.

For your convenience, a registration form has been provided near the end of this catalog.

By Mail Complete a registration form (provided) and mail with full payment of tuition and fees.

Payment may be made by check, money order, or credit card (call 443-412-2376, ext. 5 to provide credit card payment information).

Please include your Student ID number on the check or money order. No confirmation is sent. Attend the first session unless the College notifies you that the course has been canceled.

By Fax Complete a registration form (provided) and fax to 443-412-2383. Full payment of tuition and fees must accompany the registration form. Call 443-412-2376, ext. 5 to provide credit card (Discover, MasterCard, American Express or VISA) information and to confirm receipt of your form. Attend the first session unless the College notifies you that the course has been canceled.

REGISTRATION RESTRICTIONS

1. Enrollment in Continuing Education courses is limited to those 16 and older, except for courses that specify they are open to those under 16.

2. Non-citizens must provide original documentation (most current resident card, work card, or visa) to register. Students must register in person at the Continuing Education Registration Office in Darlington Hall.

Please note: Non-citizens who have never taken a credit or noncredit class at HCC must go to the Credit Registration Office in the Student Center the first time they register.

3. The College prohibits the enrollment of individuals listed on the National or Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services Sex Offender Registry or with the Harford County Child Advocacy Unit.

CURRENT MAILING ADDRESS

Students are responsible for maintaining a current mailing address with the College. All address changes should be reported to the Continuing Education and Training Office. If a student owes a debt to the College and does not maintain a current mailing address, that debt will be sent to a collection agency without further notice to the student. In this event, the student will owe an additional collection fee.

PAYMENT

Payment for all Continuing Education courses is due at the time of registration. Failure to pay will incur a debt to the College that must be paid whether or not you attend the class.

To avoid receiving a bill, please call 443-412-2376, ext. 5 before the class begins in order to process a drop.

RESIDENCY SURCHARGE

Out-of-county residents (except senior adults, disabled retired students, and students receiving a Maryland National Guard member tuition waiver) pay a $20 surcharge per course for each Continuing Education course that charges course fees. If you were an outof-county resident at the time of your last registration and have since moved in-county, you must complete a Student Statement of Domicile for Tuition Purposes form and provide two forms of identification in order to have the $20 surcharge waived when registering. You may obtain the form by calling 443-412-2376, ext. 5 or visiting the registration desk in Darlington Hall. Appropriate forms of identification include a driver’s license, voter registration card, or utility bill showing name and Harford County address.

All out-of-state residents pay a $35 surcharge per course for all Continuing Education courses that charge course fees. Material fees, where applicable, are the same for all students.

HARFORD STUDENT ID

All students will be assigned a Harford student identification number. The H-ID begins with a capital H followed by eight randomly assigned digits. HCC will still need a Social Security number for certain mandated business functions; however, it will be used on a limited basis and kept in a secure environment.

Because students will need to use the H-ID for College business transactions, students are required to know and remember their H-ID.

Failure to pay at the time of registration will incur a debt to the College that

PAYMENT must be paid whether or not you attend the class. To avoid receiving a bill, call 443-412-2376, ext. 5 before the class begins in order to process a drop.
