To understand what type of courses you are registered for, view your schedule via Student Planning at https://erp-slfsrv-prod.hccc.edu/Student/Planning/DegreePlans.
ONLINE = CAMPUS LOCATION ON SCHEDULE SAYS ON-LINE
Fully online teaching and learning. This means most work is completed on students’
own time schedule as long as the work is submitted on time.
ON GROUND = CAMPUS LOCATION ON SCHEDULE SAYS BUILDING AND CLASSROOM LISTED
This course will be held on-campus at the campus and room displayed. These courses
could be combined with remote or online instruction, creating a hybrid experience.
REMOTE = CAMPUS LOCATION SAYS REMOTE AND THERE IS A DAY AND TIME LISTED, BUT NO CLASSROOM
LOCATION
Remote courses are similar to the experience of being in a face-to-face on-ground
class. This means students will be attending class remotely, or virtually, at the
time the class is scheduled.
Resources
Online and Remote classes will be supported on Canvas, HCCC’s Learning Management
System. Hudson Online classes and Canvas are managed by the Center for Online Learning.
All students taking an online class are automatically enrolled in the “Classroom Students Guide to Canvas: An Orientation"
Additional information, resources, and training can be found by visiting the Center for Online Learning or myhudson.hccc.edu/col.

The HCCC Bookstore is committed to providing great service to the college community in a safe and healthy environment. With the current state of the pandemic, it is necessary for us to adjust operations which will impact both our staff and our customers.
Here is some important information that will help the Bookstore serve you better:

Safety Precautions:
- All staff and customers will be required to wear a mask.

- The store will be cleaned regularly throughout the day.
- Social distancing will be enforced, requiring everyone to maintain 6 feet of space between themselves and others.

- We will be providing clerk service for textbooks where Bookstore Associates will get your books for you when you come in. All you need is your student ID number.
How We Can Serve You Best:
Given the occupancy limit in the physical store space, the Bookstore strongly recommend that you order your books via their website, hcccshop.com and have your materials shipped to your home whenever possible.
If you are comfortable using e-books, the Bookstore also recommends you order those, as you will receive them by e-mail within minutes of placing your order as opposed to waiting on a package. If an e-book is available, it will be listed as an option on the site.
