Returning to Heartland
The Dean of Students Office oversees the Returning Hawks Program, which allows former students who owe the college money to return to Heartland and start taking college classes towards a degree or certificate. Successful students are eligible to have up to $2,500 of debt forgiven.
To be eligible for the Returning Hawks Program, you must:
- Have been away from Heartland for 3 or more years.*
- Be a current resident of Heartland's district.
- Currently owe the College money.
- Complete the Admission process for Returning Students
- Complete the Returning Hawks Program application.
- Meet with the Dean of Students to review and sign the Returning Hawks Program contract.
Students who participate in the Returning Hawks Program receive one-on-one guidance from one of our success coaches.
To ensure students' success, the Returning Hawks will only consider students for fall and spring semesters. The deadline to apply for fall semester is August 1. The deadline to apply for spring semester is December 1.
*Students admitted to a WEI-approved program may be considered for the Returning Hawks Program even if it's been less than 3 years since they were last enrolled. Go to WEI's website to learn more about the programs available and to submit an interest form. Conditions apply.
