Adults

The staff at Hocking College realizes that school is just one more responsibility for our adult students to juggle, along with other priorities such as family and work. We offer a variety of programs and evening classes, along with online courses to fit your schedule. You may also be able to get college credit for life experience. Check with your department for specifics.

If you are an adult who has never attended college, you need only to complete entry course assessment and meet with an advisor before you register for classes. As an adult student, you can apply using the standard online application. Some programs have additional enrollment requirements. You will be notified by mail of these requirements.

Transferring Credit

If you have attended another college or university, and would like to transfer credit to Hocking College, please have official transcripts mailed to the Hocking College transfer coordinator for evaluation. An official transcript must be mailed directly from the college or university. All other forms of transcripts are considered unofficial.

Please send in transcripts from high school and any other colleges you may have attended.

Seniors

As a community service, Hocking College offers senior citizens 60 years old or older the opportunity to enroll in credit courses for self-enrichment tuition-free, on a space-available basis for audit "R" only. Contact the Admissions office for additional information.

Returning

Many of our students need to stop taking classes for a short time and return when it's more convenient. We can help you get back on track with your education. If you are returning to Hocking College, you will need to reapply for admission. Before registering for classes, contact the Admissions Office. You will also need to reapply for your financial aid.

Readmission

Students who interrupt their attendance and later return must meet the curricular requirements in place at the time of their return. Technical and basic courses taken prior to any interruption may have to be re-evaluated. Those that were taken in the last five years generally will still meet graduation requirements. However, some programs may have more stringent requirements. You should contact your academic department to determine the acceptability of previous courses. Courses that were taken more than five years ago will be evaluated on an individual course basis. Courses taken more than seven years ago will be evaluated for acceptability by the academic department dean.
