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

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 Edgewood 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.

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.

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.

H.O.T. CERTIFICATE Heavy Construction Equipment Operator Certificate - NEW Construction equipment operators drive, maneuver, or control the heavy machinery used to construct roads, bridges, buildings, and other structures.

Construction equipment operators use machinery to move construction materials, earth, and other heavy materials at construction sites and mines. They operate equipment that clears and grades land to prepare it for construction of roads, bridges, and buildings, as well as airport runways, power generation facilities, dams, levees, and other structures.

Construction equipment operators work in nearly every weather condition. Workers often get dirty, greasy, muddy, or dusty. Most work full time, and some operators may have irregular hours. Some construction projects, especially road building, are done at night.

Employment of construction equipment operators is projected to grow 19% from 2012 to 2022, faster than the average for all occupations. Spending on infrastructure should generate many new jobs for construction equipment operators. Workers who can operate multiple types of equipment should have the best job opportunities. The median annual wage for construction equipment operators was $40,980 in May 2012.

Harford Community College will be using the NCCER curriculum on Heavy Equipment Operations.

H.O.T. CERTIFICATE Landscaping/Grounds/Gardening Technology Certificate Landscape technicians perform various gardening and lawn maintenance duties in order to turn outdoor spaces into functional or attractive areas. They also maintain residential and commercial landscapes so they remain healthy and trim.

The nature of the work is often laborious and requires significant physical effort.

Although formal education is generally not required, landscape technicians may opt for certifications to increase their employment outlook.

In addition to creating landscapes and outdoor areas, landscape technicians maintain them as well. Pruning, mowing, edging, trimming, fertilizing and watering are done by landscape technicians. They may spray plants, trees and grass with pesticides to control destructive insects and diseases.

Students work on various design projects, each one building upon previous coursework and gaining in complexity. Some of the topics that will be covered include: basic elements and principles of design; combining mixed concepts into a larger scheme; hardscaping creativity; understanding scale and space; choosing appropriate plant materials; and creating a readable site plan.

Senior Adult Tuition Waiver Maryland residents 60 years of age or older at the time of registration are eligible for a tuition waiver for some continuing education courses. These courses are state-funded and

contain the icon u in the course description.

If the course description contains this icon, senior adults do not pay tuition costs for the course. Course fees, however, must be paid in full. Please note that for all courses there is no out-of-county surcharge for senior adults.

Disabled Retiree Tuition Waiver Any resident of the State of Maryland who is retired from the workplace by reason of total and permanent disability is eligible for a tuition waiver for some continuing education courses. These courses are state-funded and contain the icon u in the course description.

If the course description contains this icon, disabled retirees do not pay tuition for the course. Course fees, however, must be paid in full. Please note that there is no out-of-county surcharge for disabled retired students.

To receive the disabled retiree tuition waiver the student must provide certification from the Social Security Administration, the Railroad Retirement Board, or the appropriate federal pension/retirement authority stating that the student receives both disability and retirement benefits [Annotated Code of Maryland section 16-106-c]. A form for signature by a representative of the Social Security Administration is available at the Continuing Education & Training Office in Edgewood Hall. The waiver is valid for one school year, or the remainder of the school year, beginning each summer.

Disability Support Services Students with learning, physical, or psychiatric disabilities may contact Disability Support Services (DSS) to arrange for reasonable academic accommodations.

Current documentation of the disability must be provided prior to arrangement of accommodations for prerequisite or exemption testing and for College courses.

A minimum notice of 10 days may be needed to provide some accommodations.

Additional services include academic advising and career services. Training on and use of adaptive computer software and hardware is also available.

officer certifying that the member of the Maryland National Guard has at least 24 months remaining to serve or has agreed, in writing, to serve for a minimum of 24 months.

The College’s out-of-county and out-of-state residency surcharge is waived for courses meeting eligibility for a Maryland National Guard waiver, but the student is responsible for all other course fees.

Maryland National Guard Dependents Dependent spouses and children of a member of the Maryland National Guard and Maryland Air Guard may request a tuition and fee waiver when a Guard member is called to active duty for a minimum period of six continuous months of service. Eligibility for the waiver for a given semester will be determined by the military status of the Guard member as of the date of the start of a regular fall or spring semester or the start of the first summer session. Eligible students must provide a copy of the spouse’s/parent’s military orders to active duty, along with the dependent military identification card.
