1. Ensure you meet the prerequisites.
   • If you have met prerequisites with previous college coursework, submit an unofficial transcript or progress summary to records@heartland.edu.
   • If prior coursework does not meet prerequisites, complete placement testing or submit applicable documentation to waive placement.  
2. If you plan to enroll in an online class, check the class description:
   • For some online classes, you may need access to a webcam and a laptop to complete exams.
   • For other online classes, there may be a requirement for exams to be completed in an in-person proctored testing environment.

Once you have submitted an unofficial transcript or progress summary to meet prerequisites, you must connect with an academic advisor before you can enroll.  Contact an academic advisor by: 

• Emailing advising@heartland.edu
  
  • In the email, please include your name, birthdate or HCC ID number, and the courses in which you want to enroll.
• Attending in-person drop-in hours 
  • Monday – Thursday, Noon - 4:00 pm
  • First floor of the Community Commons Building (campus map)

Your advisor will provide enrollment instructions.  

Once your Heartland course(s) is complete, you can request that your official Heartland transcript be sent to your home institution so they can add the course(s) to your record. 

Proof of in-district residency is required for you to receive the in-district tuition rate unless you graduated from a high school located in Heartland's district within the past year. 

• Submit Residency Documentation
• See Residency Exceptions for alternate options to receive the in-district tuition rate.
