You must complete all steps.
For printable guides and videos, please see Help Guides and Videos.
Advising
Click on Enroll Now and complete all steps to talk with your advisor or counselor to make sure you are taking the correct courses. Students must satisfy all pre- or co-requisites for certain courses. (For example, English Composition II requires that you have passed English Composition I.) If you have not taken the ACT, you must take the HCC Placement_Test prior to registration. Placement tests are offered in the areas of Mathematics, English, and Reading. View the Pre-Requisite Table and Placement Table to learn more about prerequisites and co-requisites. Online Registration requires you to contact your advisor through Enroll Now to receive your Alternate Pin Number.
Maximum Number of Hours
As indicated in the Holmes catalog, a student cannot register for more than 21 total hours per term. If you request online courses that will put you over a TOTAL (the sum of your day, evening, and online courses) of 21 hours, your entire online registration will be denied. Online courses take more time than traditional courses, not less. In the Summer Session, students can only take a total of 18 hours.
Registering for Classes
Go to Enroll Now to make sure your status is Complete. You must log in to MyHolmes to register for online classes. Once you are in MyHolmes, click on Create Schedule on the Student Essentials card.
