The Open House will be held at the College’s Library Building – 71 Sip Avenue, just across the street from the Journal Square PATH Transportation Center.

“This is a great opportunity for those who are about to graduate high school, those who have already graduated, and those attending other colleges who are interested in transferring, to learn about our academic offerings, financial assistance and student success programs and more,” said HCCC President Glen Gabert, Ph.D.

“Hudson County Community College students can save thousands of dollars on college tuition by earning an Associate degree at HCCC for a fraction of the cost of four-year colleges and universities,” he stated.

At the Open House, attendees can learn about College’s academic and career programs – including Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management, Nursing, Business, Accounting, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), Criminal Justice, and other studies – directly from HCCC faculty. There will also be information about the HCCC Dual Admission programs with Saint Peter’s University and New Jersey City University, which not only save money but also time.

Dr. Gabert noted that HCCC has one of the most successful financial aid and scholarship programs in New Jersey, with about 90% of HCCC students receiving assistance. “One easy and important way to stretch one’s college money is to start here at Hudson County Community College, earn an Associate degree, and then transfer to a four-year school,” he stated.  Those who attend the April 30 Open House will be provided with information on scholarships and financial aid, and the how-to’s of setting up a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) account.

The College will also have representatives from their award-winning students support services team at the Open House with information on how the team assists HCCC students in attaining academic success. In addition, HCCC Student Ambassadors will lead tours of the HCCC Journal Square Campus and talk about the full roster of campus events available at the College throughout the year, including the free HCCC cultural events that are open to all the residents of Hudson County.

The application fee will be waived for attendees.

October 21, 2014, Jersey City, NJ – Hudson County Community College (HCCC) will hold a Fall Open House for potential students from 10 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturday, November 1, 2014. The Open House will take place at the College’s Culinary Conference Center, 161 Newkirk Street in Jersey City, NJ – two blocks from the PATH Journal Square Transportation Center.

 

The College will waive its application fee for prospective students who attend the Open House.

“Our Open Houses offer prospective students the ability to see beyond our website and brochures, and to learn for themselves why Hudson County Community College is one of the best educational values anywhere,” said HCCC President Dr. Glen Gabert.

Those attending the Open House will be able to tour the College’s Journal Square Campus –including the new Library Building – and meet with HCCC students, faculty, and other members of the College’s professional staff. The attendees will learn how they can save thousands of dollars on college tuition while earning a professional certificate or an Associate’s degree with credits that will transfer to four-year colleges and universities.

The event will also include opportunities to learn about the admissions process and the more than 50 degrees and 14 certificate programs offered at HCCC, to attend a financial-aid workshop (which will include information on the HCCC Foundation and NJ STARS scholarships), and to become acquainted with the many transfer agreements HCCC has in position with some of the best four-year colleges and universities in New Jersey, New York, and the U.S.

Those attending will learn about an agreement HCCC has with Saint Peter’s University (SPU) that allows HCCC graduates to transfer to SPU for the same tuition as they would pay at a New Jersey State four-year institution – a large savings for HCCC graduates.

Hudson County Community College also has a Dual Admission Program in place with New Jersey City University (NJCU) that enables students who complete one year of studies at HCCC to earn their Associate’s degree at HCCC while pursuing their Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Biology, Chemistry, Geoscience, Health Sciences, and Mathematics at NJCU.

HCCC students benefit from smaller class sizes and more personalized attention than they might be afforded at other colleges. HCCC students may study at times that are best for them as the College offers morning and evening weekday classes, as well as weekend classes, on the Journal Square Campus and North Hudson Higher Education Center in Union City, and online sessions. In addition, HCCC has in place a Student Success program, which assists students in acquiring the skills and perspective needed to simultaneously succeed in college and prepare for careers; it is one of just five programs in the U.S. to be recognized with a national award from the American Association of Community Colleges.

Those interested in attending the Fall Open House are asked to register online at http://www.hccc.edu/informationsessions/. Questions about the Open House, the HCCC admissions process and the course offering may be addressed to admissions@hccc.edu.

Registration for the College’s Winter semester will be held from Wednesday, November 12 through Tuesday, December 23 at 70 Sip Avenue in Jersey City. Registration is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Online registration is open only to currently registered HCCC students.)
