About HCCC: Student Right to Know

On August 14, 2008, the Higher Education Opportunity Act became law, reauthorizing the Higher Education Act for the first time since 1998. This law is intended to help students and parents make better-informed decisions about higher education.

Hudson County Community College has developed this web page to better inform students, parents, and the community about the College. For more information about the Higher Education Opportunity Act, please refer to the U.S. Department of Education website at: http://www.ed.gov/policy/highered/leg/hea08/index.html.
