Accessing HCU’s Student Systems

Setting Up Your HCU One Login

Step 1: Locate Your Username

Your username may be found:

• in the financial aid award letter that is sent by U.S. postal mail
• on the applicant status portal in a box labeled “Your HCU OneLogin Information” (if you have submitted your deposit)
• by contacting your admission counselor
• by telephoning the Help Desk at 281-649-3410

Your username will have your last name and first initial (e.g., smithj) and may also have numbers in it.  It will also become the first part of your university email address (i.e. smithj@HC.edu).

Step 2: Log In to HuskyNet

Now that you know your HCU One Login username you will need that information to log in to HuskyNet. Enter your HCU One Login username and add “@HC.edu” to the end of it. If this is your first time logging in, enter your default password. Your default password is your birthday (MMDDYY) + capitalized letter of last name + (Husky). For example: Mary Doe’s birthdate is 07/25/16, so her default password would be “072516DHusky.”

Your new password must meet the following requirements:

• Uppercase character
• Lowercase character
• Numbers or special characters (~!@#$%^&*_+-=)
• Twelve (12) characters long
• No spaces allowed

Once your password has been accepted and reset, you will be prompted to sign in again with your newly created password.

What’s Available in Husky Net?

HuskyNet is where you will go to register for classes, accept your financial aid award(s), and where you can find the TouchNet portal for submitting payments and setting up payment plans. HuskyNet is the only site you will have access to before you register for classes.

How to Register for Classes

Step 1

Log in to HuskyNet. On the HuskyNet homepage, you will see a navigation bar toward the left of the screen. Select “Registration and Student Schedule” to begin your class registration.

Step 2

You will be prompted to enter an Alternate PIN. This six-digit PIN number will be given to you by your academic advisor each semester. Note: If you are a freshman, you may receive your Alt Pin at Pre-Registration or Orientation. After your first semester, you will meet with an Academic Advisor to plan out your classes for your degree going forward.

Step 4

Once you enter your Alternate PIN, you will be instructed to enter the CRN(s) (Course Reference Number) for the courses that you want to register for. Note: If you are an incoming freshman, your admissions counselor may provide these CRNs to you.

Helpful Tips for Class Registration

Adding a Class to Your Schedule

To add a class section to your schedule, select “Add to Worksheet”. This will direct you back to the main registration page and automatically insert that CRN into your worksheet. You can then “Submit Changes” or search for another class. Note: most science courses include a separate lab course. You will need to add both the main class and the lab class CRNs to your schedule and submit these changes at the same time.

Locating a CRN for a Course

If you are not provided with a CRN for a course you need to register for, you can search which classes are available by term. Select “Course Search” at the bottom of the page. You can then search by class subject and view available sections of the class you are searching for. If there is a “C” next to the course, that means that the course is closed and unavailable.

How to View Your Class Schedule

Step 1

Log in to huskynetsso.hbu.edu. On the HuskyNet homepage, you will see a navigation bar toward the top of the screen with tabs. Change term to current term and your schedule be on the right side of the screen.

Tip: Room locations sometimes change during the first week of class. Be sure to check your schedule on the day of your classes to ensure the room assignment has not been adjusted.

Under this act, students maintain privacy of their academic records after the age of 18 or once they enroll in a postsecondary institution. Every student must submit a FERPA form to inform the Office of Academic Records who, if anyone, is granted access to these records. You can choose to not allow anyone access, or you can add your parent(s) or guardian(s) to this release.
