All Workforce Development noncredit course participants are entered in our system as HACC students, and every course you take at HACC will appear on your official transcript.

It is very important that we do not duplicate IDs. We need all your personal identification in order to thoroughly search more than 50 years of records.

Your confirmation letter will include your official HACC ID. This number, which begins with an “H”, should be used to register for future HACC credit and noncredit courses.

We will mail a confirmation letter to every student, and we may occasionally need to contact you regarding a course change or cancellation.

For these reasons, we need your current address and phone number(s).

If your course is on a HACC campus, Workforce Development noncredit students may park in any HACC public parking lot.

A parking pass is not required. However, please do not park in restricted parking areas – Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access parking, etc. – without proper authorization.

Upon registration, you will be given a confirmation letter which lists your:

• Course title(s)
• Date(s)
• Time(s)
• Instructor(s)
• Location(s)

Please review this confirmation letter and contact HACC Workforce Development staff if you need clarification at workforce@hacc.edu or 717-780-2414.

It is recommended that you check the campus map for your classroom location before you arrive at the campus, especially after hours, since there may be limited staff on hand to assist you.

Some courses are held off campus. In this case, you will be provided with a street address of the location on the confirmation letter.

Please note: Your confirmation letter will list ALL the Workforce Development noncredit courses (past,present and future) you’ve registered for during the current fiscal year (July 1-June 30).

In some cases, books are included in the tuition and will be provided on the first day of course.

Any student who wishes to drop a course may do so by submitting a request through the help ticket system here. These requests must be made no less than five (5) calendar days after purchase, but prior to accessing the class to be eligible for a full refund of tuition and fees, except for any tuition or fees noted as nonrefundable. Unless otherwise specifically stated or approved, no refund will be issued after accessing the online/self-pace class. We do not issue partial refunds in the event a student does not complete the class.

Online Class Timeline Policy

Access to complete the course is limited to ninety (90) days from the date of purchase. After 90 days you will be considered unsuccessful and be graded as such. You may request an extension by submitting a help ticket here.

All courses have a:

• Maximum enrollment limit beyond which no additional students may be added
• Minimum class size that must be reached before a course will be taught

These limits vary depending upon the nature of the course and the available instructional space.

If the minimum class size is not reached, the course will be canceled. If a course is canceled, it is typically done so two-to-three business days before the course-start date. It is important that interested parties register before that time.

A class may be canceled due to a situation with an instructor or class location. Every effort will be made to reschedule the class in this circumstance. Students will be promptly contacted as soon as a situation becomes apparent. A class may also be canceled or delayed due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Please sign up for e2Campus updates. E2Campus is HACC's free, collegewide alert system.

HACC reserves the right to do the following at its discretion:

• Add or delete a course
• Change times, locations, fees or instructors

We make every effort to contact a student when a class is canceled or changed.

It is important that you provide us with current phone numbers and/or email addresses. We will leave phone messages if we cannot reach the student.

Only Workforce Development noncredit students participating in certain courses (examples: sports/fitness, massage therapy, police academy, etc.) may use the gym and only during their scheduled class time(s). Students must sign in at the gym’s front desk before their class.

A Workforce Development noncredit student may use the HACC library but currently cannot check out books.

The computer lab is not open to Workforce Development noncredit students.

The usage fee for these above facilities is included in a credit student’s tuition; Workforce Development noncredit students are not charged this fee.

The following are factors which help to determine a course location:

• Local interest in a subject matter
• Qualified instructor availability
• Appropriate course location availability

We are continually investigating new ideas and locations for courses. We appreciate any feedback or ideas you may have. You can e-mail such ideas to workforce@hacc.edu.
