I'm sure that it's probably waaaay to early for this thread, but I figured what the heck. I have all of my application documents just about ready for submission. Just need to add the self addressed postcard and my check.
My main concern though is my Eng I credit. I already have a BS in Biology. The school I attended rewarded me with the Eng I credit based solely on my ACT score. I was originally going to apply for the Spring 2009 class and as I was reviewing my transcripts, I notice that HCC had not given me credit for Eng I. I contacted the Dean of Student Services at the DM campus about it and he referred me to the Asst Dean. From there it pretty much got ugly. My transcript originally had it listed as CLEP credit but I didn't have any CLEP scores of course. I had transferred several times and was given credit every where I went with no questions asked. Not to mention that I actually already have a BS so you would think that I wouldn't have to worry about any of the general education courses. I told all of this to the Asst Dean and the reply that I got was that the original "college awarded the credit in an unorthodox manner and that it wasn't her fault that HCC had higher standards than the other institutions that I had transferred to." Her email pretty much told me to f off in a not so nice way. It didn't help that I gave her a piece of my mind after receiving such a response. *sigh*
I managed to get my original transcript updated so that it no longer says CLEP. It says "ACT score 28" instead. I had an updated copy sent to HCC along with a letter explaining the change, however HCC has yet to update anything. That was last August. Sooooooo, I will be trotting my happy butt in to see an advisor on Friday and praying like heck that they make the change and accept the credit. Because I already have my BS, I absolutely refuse to go back and take Eng I. I'm not happy at all with HCC's administrative staff, but because I can't find another true evening nursing program that doesn't cost an arm and a leg....I'm pretty much stuck with them. I can't afford to quit my job and go to school full time...if I could I would be doing USF's accelerated program instead. :)
Hi All!! I was curious to see if anyone has recieved an acceptance letter to HCC to begin spring 2011. I applied in June 2010 and I am dying to know!!! Good luck to everyone:)
I know!!!! I wake up each day more excited and nervous than the day before. In two weeks I should be camped out at the mail box waiting for the postman!!! LOL:yeah:

I'll be right there with you waiting at my mailbox!
I always thought I was alone in my peculiar ways...but now I see there are many, many of us out there :) We're all such anal dorks! Obsessing, worrying, analyzing every aspect of what HCC does or doesn't put on hawknet...LOL. I can't wait to meet the people behind the screen names...Should be fun;) I've requested DM days. Any other DM Days out there? I know what we want and what we get may not mesh, but here's to hoping we all get in, and get the campus we prefer!!! Cheers.
I checked the Spring '10 thread on here, and they started receiving their letters on Sept 19th, 2009... which was a Friday....so I'm counting on a letter being in my mailbox on Sept 17 (which is also a Friday)! LOL Hopefully HCC keeps the same schedule!
Hopefully itll be by the 17th, I never thought it would consume my life this much checking and waiting for an answer. Also did anyone elses information in progress towards degree change? It no longer says A.S. Health, or whatever the new title for it is.
an answer is almost here! i cant wait to finally have one to tell everyone who keeps asking! hope we all get the answer we want!
