Locate the course(s) you'd like to take on the class schedule and ensure you meet the course prerequisites. 

1. If you have met the prerequisites with prior college coursework, submit an unofficial transcript to records@heartland.edu.
2. If prior coursework does not meet prerequisites, complete placement testing or submit applicable documentation for a placement waiver. We encourage students to prepare for placement. 

Once you have submitted an unofficial transcript 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 – Friday, Noon - 4:00 pm
  • First floor of the Community Commons Building (campus map)

Once your prerequisites are satisfied and entered, you can then enroll.

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 tuiton rate.
