Congratulations again, graduates! We look forward to celebrating with you at commencement.

All Houston Community College campus locations will be closed on Monday, May 27 in observance of Memorial Day. We thank and appreciate all those who have served. Have a safe holiday weekend!

The storm may have postponed the graduation ceremony, but it can't hold back your incredible achievement! The Graduation Committee is working hard to find a new date to celebrate at the NRG venue. In the meantime, rest assured the delay in the ceremony does not mean a delay in your diplomas and the timeline to gain access to your transcripts. We can't wait to celebrate YOU and will keep you updated every step of the way. Please check your HCC email and the graduation website for the latest update: https://www.hccs.edu/resources-for/current-students/graduation.

Academic Advising Services will be closed on Thursday, May 23rd (today) for a professional development day. Services will re-open for normal hours on Friday, May 24th.
