Students Walking
Our goal is to make transferring to HCU as easy as possible. Whether you plan to start at HCU in the fall or spring, we have developed a timeline to help guide you through the application process. HCU has rolling admissions, but the sooner you apply, the better!  Select your entry term below for guidance on what you need to be doing each month as you prepare to become a HCU Husky.
