Apply To Heartland

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.  There are other special residency classifications and a list of valid documentation on the Cost of College webpage.

You can submit your documentation in four ways:

• Upload the document through the Admissions portal.
  
  
• Scan or take a photo and email the document (.PDF or .JPEG) along with your name and student ID number to: Lincoln.Center@heartland.edu
  
  
• Mail the document:
  Heartland Community College Lincoln
  2201 Woodlawn Road
  Lincoln, IL 62656
  
  
• Bring your residency documentation in person to any Heartland campus. 

All new Heartland students need to submit any previous academic transcript(s), including a final high school transcript or GED certificate, and Official college transcript(s) if you have completed any previous coursework and earned credit. 

Ways to submit your transcript:

• In person or by mail
  Drop off your sealed, official transcript to campus or have it mailed.

• Electronically
  Your transcript can be sent directly from the previous institution to Lincoln.Center@heartland.edu or faxed to 217.735.1352
  If sent by personal email, the transcript will not be considered official. 
  
  NOTE: Official College transcripts can usually be sent through an official, outside vendor from the transfer institution to HCC. If you have questions about sending electronic transcripts, contact the Records Office at 309-268-8071.
