Submit proof of the meningitis vaccine (if you are under 22 years old) at a campus or email to vaccine@hccs.edu. The system will not allow you to enroll in classes until your proof of vaccination has been processed.

HCC will use unofficial transcripts/grade reports and TSI scores for initial advisement and placement purposes. However, a transcript hold will be placed on your record until an official transcript is received in the Office of Student Records within the first semester of enrollment. English proficiency test may apply.

You may submit a transcript or score report by:

1. Taking it to the Registrar’s Office on campus.
2. Electronic submission from your school.
3. Directly mailing a sealed transcript.
