Enrollment Steps

To get started you'll need:

  • Your Social Security number.

  • An email address that we can use to contact you.

  • Name and address of the high school you have attended.

  • Name and address of any colleges you have attended.

    Start Your Application
  • High School: Request an official high school transcript to be sent to hp-admissions@kctcs.edu. If you have a GED, please submit the score sheet to the Admissions Counter at the Hopkinsville or Ft. Campbell campus.

  • College: Request all official college transcripts to be sent to hp-registrar@kctcs.edu. College transcripts must be sent directly from the college you attended to HCC.

  • Some students find it helpful to use Parchment or the National Student Clearinghouse to submit transcripts electronically.

  • If you have taken the ACT, request an official score sheet to be sent to HCC at https://www.act.org/.

  • If you have taken the SAT, Advanced Placement (AP), or CLEP, request an official score sheet to be submitted to HCC at https://www.collegeboard.org/.

  • If the ACT/SAT were taken during high school, they may be listed on your high school transcript. ACT/SAT scores expire after four years. If it has been longer than four years, there is no need to submit a score sheet. 

  • AP and CLEP scores do not expire and must be sent separately. 

  • If you have not taken any of these tests, just skip this step. 
  • Please wait at least 30 minutes after completing your application before setting up your account.

  • Visit the User Account Center (UAC) to retrieve your username and set your password by selecting “Setup Your User Account/Profile.” Upon activating your account, you will be able to access My Path, your hub for student self-service and more!
  • Once you have set up your account, complete the online orientation.

  • These five steps are required first! Once completed, an HCC representative will reach out to you for next steps. If you have questions or need assistance, call us at 270-707-3700.
  • If you would like to apply for financial aid, the first step is to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at https://studentaid.gov/. When completing your FAFSA, make sure to enter HCC’s code – 001994.
