Concurrent Students

If you are an F-1 student with a SEVIS Form I-20 from another U.S. school and would like to take a few courses at HCC, follow the steps below to enroll as a concurrent student.

 

 

• If you already have an HCC student ID, request a Concurrent Enrollment letter from your primary school (you will need one for each semester you enroll at HCC), scan it and save it as a PDF file. Send it as an attachment to oiss.international@hccs.edu. Write “CONCURRENT” and your HCC student ID in the subject line.  If this does not apply to you, begin at Step 1 below.

1. Click on online application for Admissions  (In the case of an error message, choose a different browser)
2. Go to “Start New Application"
3. Select “F-1 International” application (the third option from the top) and click Next
4. Enter your Names as they appear on your passport, Date of Birth, and your Email
5. Set your Password (take a screenshot of the page and record your password)
6. From the “New Account Created” page, click “Continue” to go to F1 Application steps.
7. Choose “Yes” to confirm that you are applying as an F-1 student 
8. Choose Concurrent Student from “I am applying as”
9. Select the Admit term/semester you want to start studying at HCC
10. Complete all 9 steps of the application and submit
11. You will receive your Conditional Approval Letter and an email with the next steps with your HCC student ID and your Assigned Number (starting with P)

 

Do not submit multiple applications! You need only one HCC student ID and we can work with you if you have to make changes. Multiple student IDs will slow your application process. Remember: You will keep the same User ID throughout your HCC career.

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.

 Transcript submission instructions: https://www.hccs.edu/resources-for/current-students/transcripts/ 

If you need to directly mail an official transcript or score report to HCC, please use the following address:

Houston Community College
Office of Student Records
P.O. Box 667517, MC 1136
Houston TX 77266-7517

If you have a college transcript from a country outside of the United States, please visit the Transfer Room for more information.

 

If this is your first time enrolling at HCC, you will need to set up a virtual appontment with academic advisor at the HCC campus where you are planning to attend classes. Placement tests or pre-requisites may apply.
