Students must maintain a GPA of 2.5 or higher while in the program and provide proof with report cards. In addition:

  • Drug, alcohol and tobacco use will not be tolerated.

The Harrisburg Promise works with our internal and external partners to offer to the students career awareness, career exploration and college-readiness skills. These activities include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • An end-of-summer picnic at HACC to set goals and expectations for the academic year
  • Monthly visits to HACC’s Harrisburg Campus for a series of planned events, ranging from career exploration to financial literacy
  • An annual visit to a company to see the real world first hand and increase the students’ career options
