We accept the following High School Equivalency (HSE) diplomas:

• �ҷ���®
• HiSET
• TASC
• Mississippi Competency-Based Diploma (an alternate HSE embedded with both academic standards and industry-recognized credentials for students enrolled in an Integrated Education and Training Pathway at one of the Mississippi Community Colleges.)

If you have one of these four HSE diplomas and this will be your first time in college after completing your HSE, then apply to ���Ĺ���ý with the “High School Equivalency Diploma Holder” Applicant Type.

If you received a diploma from an online school, you should contact the Office of Admissions to provide the details on your school, and we will you know if your diploma is accepted for admission. If it is accepted and this will be your first time in college, you should apply to ���Ĺ���ý with “First-Time College Student” as your Applicant Type.

1. Create an and submit an application for General Admission. You will only be permitted to apply once per semester.
2. After you apply, log back into the applicant portal to view your admission status and action items. As you submit admission documents, monitor the receipt of them in your applicant portal!

An HSE Diploma Holder must meet the following general admission requirements:

• Submit a final, official equivalency diploma transcript (not a copy of the diploma) showing all passing scores for either the GED, HiSET, or TASC, or submit the Mississippi Competency-Based Diploma. Please use and request your official transcript be sent directly to Records@hindscc.edu.

• Fall semester: July 15
• Spring semester: December 15
• Summer semester: May 15

It is possible to register for classes during Early Registration (before the Admission Document Deadline), but all documents are due by the published deadline or you may be at risk of losing your class schedule.

To register during Late Registration (after the Admission Document Deadline), all admission documents must already be submitted and processed by the Office of Admissions.

To complete your admission, the transcripts you submit to ���Ĺ���ý must be “official”. Official transcripts are those that are sent directly from your school to ���Ĺ���ý in an approved method. Emailed and faxed transcripts, even if sent from your school, are not accepted.

���Ĺ���ý accepts official transcripts in these ways:

• Electronically: This method is preferred. Equivalency diplomas may be sent electronically from directly to ���Ĺ���ý using this email address: Records@hindscc.edu. Do not send it yourself and then forward it to ���Ĺ���ý.
• By Mail: You may request an official, sealed transcript to be mailed to this address: ���Ĺ���ý, Office of Admissions, PO Box 1100, Raymond, MS 39154. Do not mail a transcript that has already been opened from its original sealed envelope.

Submitting official test scores:

• If you have taken the ACT or SAT, we accept electronic score reports sent to us directly from the National ACT or College Board.
• We also accept ACT and SAT scores if they are documented on an official high school transcript (from a former high school you attended before completing your HSE diploma.)
• We do not accept copies of scores that you or your school email.
• Most HSE Diploma Holders take the Accuplacer for free at ���Ĺ���ý as their college entrance test.

Registering for classes is a part of the enrollment process in which admitted students meet with an Advisor to discuss their program of study and career plans and make their class schedule.
When registration opens for the semester in which you plan to enroll, eligible students should initiate advisement and registration in one of these ways:

1. Visit any ���Ĺ���ý campus during business hours. No appointment is necessary!
2. Request Remote Advisement. If you submit a remote advisement request, an Advisor will reach out to you several business days later via your ���Ĺ���ý email account. So, check it regularly!

You will not be able to register yourself in your Navigator account until you have been advised.
