HCC to Hold Registration Express on Aug. 2

HOLYOKE — Holyoke Community College (HCC) will hold a Registration Express event for fall 2025 classes on Saturday, Aug. 2, when prospective students can apply for admission, take the college placement test, meet with an academic adviser, register for classes, and set up financial aid, all in one day.

HCC’s Registration Express event will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the first floor of the Campus Center at 303 Homestead Ave. in Holyoke, as well as virtually over Zoom. Fall 2025 classes begin Tuesday, Sept. 2. HCC also has Flex Start dates on Sept. 15 and Oct. 27.

Registration Express will also be an opportunity for prospective students to learn about MassEducate and MassReconnect, the state’s programs for free community college.

“Registration Express at Holyoke Community College provides an opportunity for students to complete the admissions and registration process all in one day and all in one place,” said Mark Hudgik, director of Admissions and Onboarding. “Admissions, financial aid, and advising counselors will be available to help students get ready for both summer and fall.”

Those who can’t make it in person can still participate on those days virtually through the Advising Center Zoom link, which can be accessed through a link on the Registration Express page at hcc.edu/regexpress.
