Houston Community College Distance Education

	Complete an Online Admissions Application.
	If you are a "new to college" student with fewer than 15 college hours earned, please thoroughly review each module of the Successful Online Students (S.O.S) class online. While this step is required for "new to college" students, it is also strongly recommended for any student who will be taking classes online with HCC Distance Education for the first time.
	Submit official transcripts from each of your previous educational institutions to HCC. Please check with the sending institution(s) and request the quickest method for transcript submission: Electronic Delivery (EDI). Unofficial transcripts (faxed, copied and emailed) are not acceptable. If you have a college transcript from a country outside of the United States, visit The Transfer Office web page for information on having foreign coursework evaluated. Address for sending official transcripts: Office of Admissions & Records P.O. Box 667517 Houston, Texas 77266-75117 To confirm receipt of your transcript(s) contact the Office of Student Records at 713.718.8500.
	After you complete all of the previous steps, please register for classes online. If you encounter error messages during the registration process, please contact DE Counseling at decounseling@hccs.edu and provide your full name, your HCC student ID, and details of your specific difficulties.
