Financial Aid ProgramsHousatonic Community College is committed to providing access to higher education by minimizing economic barriers. HCC participates in all state and federal financial aid programs. The amount of assistance is based primarily on need, satisfactory academic progress, and availability of funds. To be eligible for Financial Aid, students must have a high school diploma or GED, be a US citizen or an eligible non-citizen and be enrolled in a degree or eligible certificate program. Financial aid is available for credit courses only; audit or non-credit courses are not covered by financial aid. To Apply for Financial Aid Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.gov. For Fall semester enrollment the FAFSA should be completed by May 1. HCC’s Federal School code, 004513, must be included for proper processing. The Financial Aid Office must receive the results of your FAFSA and Financial Aid and the HCC Admission application process must be complete before an award can be made. Please Note: You are now expected to link your FAFSA directly to your IRS tax information. Students who fail to do this correctly and are selected for verification will need to bring IRS Tax transcripts. We will no longer accept copies of 1040 Tax returns. Students who complete their FAFSA after May 1, 2015 will not, in all probability, have an official financial aid award in place before classes begin on August 31, 2015 and must explore other means of payment (cash, check, credit card, payment plan) or risk having their registration cancelled. Please Note You do not have financial aid until you have received an official award notice via e-mail or letter. Students who register for classes before receiving the official award letter must pay for their classes (cash, check, credit card, payment plan) or run the risk having their registration cancelled. Students who want to register before their financial aid processing is complete must pay all fees on the day of registration thereby holding their classes until 4:45 pm, August 7, 2015. Fees are non-refundable. Financial aid awards are based on your enrollment status as of the 14th calendar day of the semester. Any courses added after that time will not be covered by financial aid but billed directly to the student. Students who officially withdraw during the first two weeks of classes will have all financial aid cancelled. The Business Office will bill these students for 50% of their tuition, all fees and book charges if any. Tax Credit Programs The American Opportunity Tax Credit provides for qualified education expenses. Eligible students can receive up to $2,500 tax credit for the first four years of post-secondary education. The Lifetime Learning Credit helps students pay tuition for upgrading job skills or career training. The Lifetime tax credit is 20% of qualified tuition and fee expenses, up to $2,000 per year, with some income-based limitations. For more information on these programs, consult your tax advisor or the IRS website at www.irs.gov

Students registering for credit general fund/ tuition account courses prior to the tuition due date must pay a non-refundable deposit of applicable college services and student activity fees to hold their registration.
The total tuition and any mandatory usage fees are payable in one installment and are due no later than the announced deadline.

Failure to make payments in accordance with an installment payment plan option will also result in the cancellation of the student's registration.

Blackboard is an e-Learning platform used by the Connecticut Community Colleges to deliver and manage course material on the web. All online and hybrid courses are taught using Blackboard. Additionally, all college faculty post their class syllabi on Blackboard and many also use Blackboard as a supplement to classroom instruction. For example, to post announcements and course materials, administer examinations, submit student grades, and communicate with their students through e-mail, discussion forums, etc. Students are required to check Blackboard for course activity information in the event of a course cancellation.
Students can learn about how to use Blackboard by visiting our distance Education office in Beacon Hall Room 272, calling Ryan Farrington (Education Technology Specialist) at 203-332-5088, or online at the Housatonic web site:
