College Profile: Halifax Community College
HCC strives to meet the diverse needs of our community by providing high-quality, accessible and affordable education and services for a rapidly changing and globally competitive marketplace.
Halifax Community College implements the open-door policy established by the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges. This policy does not impose restrictive standards for admission to the college. However, it does not necessarily imply immediate admission to any curriculum.
In most programs, a placement test and a counseling interview are arranged. This process aids the students in evaluating their potential for success in the curriculum of their choice. When scores on the placement test indicate that a person is not academically ready for a particular program of study, the individual will be assisted in re-examining career aspirations.
HCC’s spring 2009 enrollment was 1,447 students compared to the 1,304 students who enrolled during the spring 2008 semester. The enrollment increase for the spring 2009 semester also exceeded the enrollment of 1,377 for the fall 2008 semester by 5 percent.
The 1,447 enrollment for the spring 2009 semester breaks down as follows:
73 percent - Halifax County; 20 percent - Northampton County; 7 percent other NC counties or out-of-state
65 percent full-time; 35 percent part-time
34 percent males; 66 percent females
