Noncredit Transcripts Available
Grievance Procedure
The Continuing Education and Training Division offers official transcripts to students enrolled in many noncredit workrelated training courses and other courses (course description will indicate “Transcript Available”). Transcripts provide a history of noncredit courses completed and indicate the name of the course, start and end dates, course hours, and number of continuing education units earned.
Harford Community College has established informal and formal grievance procedures to resolve complaints regarding alleged discrimination based on a disability. HCC provides for the equitable resolution of complaints by students with disabilities alleging a violation of their rights under the American with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Students can begin the informal grievance process by filing a complaint in writing with the Coordinator for Disability and Student Intervention Services (443-412-2132). A formal grievance may be filed in writing at any time with the Director for Human Resources and Employee Development (443-412-2129). An investigation into the complaint will be completed within 30 workdays for an informal grievance and 90 workdays for a formal grievance. For more information, call Disability Support Services at 443-412-2132 or TTY 443-412-2199.
Transcripts may be requested via the website or by submitting a Noncredit Transcript Request form.
