HCC event Friday aims to help students

The Future Grad Event will be in the Emerging Technologies Building.

Hopkinsville Community College will offer counseling Friday in the Emerging Technologies Building’s main lobby to help students with information about achieving graduation.

The Future Grad Event “is designed to help current students stay on track to graduation, and assist transfer and returning students in finding their paths at HCC,” a college spokeswoman said in a news release. 

The first session, from 10 a.m. to noon, is for current students. The second session, from 1 to 3 p.m., is for returning students whose HCC enrollment status has lapsed, and for transfer students.

HCC’s registrar and admissions staff will offer one-on-one assistance that includes:

  • On-demand degree audit  
  • Discussion of requirements left to earn a degree  
  • Setting of potential graduation date  
  • Advising for Fall II Oct. and/or Spring 2022 class registration  
  • Transfer students receive an evaluation of transcripts by the HCC Registrar. Attendees must bring an unofficial copy of college transcripts)
