Veterans

Veterans and their dependents are admitted to the College under the same admission requirements as other students. Veteran students are expected to attend classes regularly. They must pursue the curriculum as listed and approved in the College Catalog and maintain satisfactory academic progress, attendance, and conduct to maintain eligibility for payments.

VA educational benefits are not paid for any grades other than A, B, C, D, or F. Payments for educational benefits are based on a student’s classification according to his/her credit hours per semester. Veterans are expected to notify the Veterans Certifying Official at HCC regarding any changes in their enrollment status.

The Department of Veterans Affairs offers a limited work-study program wherein a student may receive the hourly minimum wage working as an office assistant in the Veterans Affairs Office. Students must be pursuing full-time or 3/4 time programs of education in order to receive a work-study allowance. Application may be made through the Veterans Affairs Office on campus. Students applying for Veteran’s benefits must submit transcripts from all higher education institutions attended to the HCC Enrollment Management Office.
