I'm looking into taking some courses at Houston Community College during the summer of 2025. When is the application deadline for the summer term, and are there any specific requirements I should be aware of?
Houston Community College typically opens their registration for the summer term in April, and often the application remains open until just before the term starts, but that can slightly vary by year. To confirm this, I’d recommend visiting HCC's academic calendar on their website, as that will give you the most accurate dates.
As for the requirements, Houston Community College generally asks you to fill out an online application and submit official transcripts if you have previously attended any other colleges. If you are taking classes for the first time at any college, you will have to take a Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Assessment unless you are exempt. It's an exam that measures your readiness for college-level coursework in the areas of math, reading, and writing, and you must complete a pre-assessment activity prior to taking the exam.
Remember, in order to register for classes, you also have to meet with an advisor at HCC. The advisor will assist you in course selection based on your academic and career goals. Keep in mind, it's always beneficial to apply as early as possible to secure your preferred class schedule.
Good luck with your application!
