It is the responsibility of each student to know Hennepin Technical College policies and procedures. HTC policies and procedures are outlined in the Student Handbook. Handbooks are available in the bookstore, at the Admissions Office, or on the HTC website. If you have any questions about HTC policies or procedures, please talk with a counselor or your advisor.
Refer to the Refund Policy given to you at the time of your registration or page 12 of the Student Handbook for language describing HTC’s add, drop, and withdrawal policies. Classes must be dropped within the first 5 days of the semester to receive a refund. Classes that begin later in the semester have different timelines. If you receive financial aid and plan on dropping a course, please check with the financial aid office first. Dropping courses may require you to return some or all of your financial aid.
Students wishing to drop a course and receive a “W” must do so prior to the last ten weekdays of the semester.
Students attending Hennepin Technical College are expected to make a sincere effort to gain full benefit from their education. Satisfactory progress is necessary for continued enrollment. Satisfactory academic progress is defined as completing 67% or more of all credits attempted and achieving a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 or greater. Students not completing 67% or better of all credits attempted or not achieving a GPA of 2.00 or greater will be given one probationary enrollment period to achieve the expected level of performance. Students not completing 67% or more of all credits attempted or not achieving a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or greater by the end of that period will be placed on academic suspension. Satisfactory academic progress standards are implemented when a student has attempted a total of 6 credits.
Part-time and full-time students may be eligible for financial aid. If you are a part-time student and have a declared major, you may be eligible for financial aid. Call the Financial Aid Office for more information.
All students should visit the Student Computer Lab to activate their student email account (MetNet). Important information from HTC is sent to students via email.
It is important for students to keep their name, address, and phone number current on HTC records. Students can update their personal information online.
Students who do not complete the admissions process prior to enrolling in courses will be required to do so after registering for their fourth credit. Assessment is required for students who declare a major or after registering for 4 cumulative credits. (See your counselor for assessment exemptions.)
