HCC Spring 2012-Houston Community College

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hi Everyone,

I'll be applying for HCC Spring 2012. I was intending on taking my prerequisites in the Fall, but I've decided to knock out A&P II and Micro this summer to avoid any complications in the application process. I'm getting conflicting reports that prereqs have to be complete BEFORE the application is due, then others say that I'm allowed 1 course in progress. Not sure, so just to be on the safe side I've opted to register for both courses over the summer.

I hope this thread will bring together all the Houston Community College Spring 2012 applicants.

Goodluck Everyone:D

Does anyone know how quickly (or slowly!) we get our TEAS results? Is this something we are given as we are leaving the testing site, or does it take more time for the grade to be calculated?

If it is like the HESI you get your results as you finish each section. They will either do that or you will get them at the end of the test. Either way you have them the same day. Have you set up your day to test yet?

Hey hufflebinks, so even though you got a D in college algebra you don't need to be even tested out of math 0312? I'm applying for the ADN program starting Spring 2013, and I want to know whether I should take 0312. I took college algebra a few years ago and got a C in it. Don't know if I should repeat it or not!

Hello everyone! For those who turned in their applications in August and received permission to take Pharmacology, did you also receive paperwork to take finger prints and background check????? I applied but did not take pharm. Just today I received a letter from them saying I can take pharm in the spring, but receiving the paperwork for the finger prints and background has really confused me only because I did not receive those papers earlier in the semester.

I don't really know for sure, but it was my impression that you do the fingerprinting and background check when you get accepted into the ADN program. Invitation to take Pharm is just one step before that one. Because acceptance into the ADN program is contingent on you passing Pharm and getting an A on the math portion of the Pharm test. I may be wrong though. Hopefully someone who knows for sure will respond! I am taking my TEAS Friday! How did you do on yours? When did you take it??

@ hufflebinks

that's exactly what I thought too! I've already taken Pharm at lonestar that's why i didn't take it with Hcc. I was also hoping to get into a bsn program but I didn't get accepted into those. Now i'm kicking myself for not taking the pharm class at Hcc since i didn't get in anywhere else :( I'm just waiting for monday to come around so I can call and ask them. As for the TEAS, i took mine in the summer of 2010. It was definitely harder than the Hesi. I got a 78 overall but I didn't get to study for it like I wanted too. Good luck to you on ur TEAS!!

naushk, I am not 100% certain on the answer to your question. All I know is when I attended the ER meeting recently, the counselor there told me that just having taken College Algebra shows that I am eligible to be in a college level math course and that's what they're looking for. However, I am still almost expecting to have to take at least 0312 and am planning my schedule around it if I have to. I just don't know for sure. Sorry!

Another question: I am going to take my TEAS friday morning...yikes! and I plan on going to Coleman to apply for the ADN program for August of 2012, so I am hoping I can get that letter for approval to take Pharm in the Spring of 2012....does anyone know if that's possible? How long after you took your TEAS or HESI did they send you a letter? I'd like to hurry up and register for it. If I have to wait and take it in the fall, that's fine, then I'd just apply for the spring 2013 ADN program.

Hi everyone!

Do any of you know what the uniform requirements will be for the Spring 2012 ADN group? On the acceptance letter that arrived today it says to expect to spend $120 on uniforms and I'd like to stat shopping around for better prices if anyone knows what the required attire is.

Thanks!

I am in Pharm now and I received my invitation to apply a few weeks after I completed the HESI. I don't know what the cut-off time is for Spring, but good luck!!!

@mc93 ,

what acceptance letter did you recieve today? i haven't recieved anything in the mail.

I received a letter outlining the details of Spring 2012 Orientation. It will be Jan 4-6 from 9 am- 4 pm each day. It outlines what to bring with you paperwork wise and the final conditions for enrollment including passing Pharm, completing background checks, etc. It was postmarked 11/11/11 (pretty cool) which was Friday, so yours is probably on it's way. I feel very blessed and excited!!!

Cool! Thanks MC93.
