The Career Closet is free and available to currently-enrolled credit-seeking and AED students as well as alumni who received a Harper College credential/degree within the last year during our operational hours. To shop, check in at our front desk using your student H number. Our staff will orient you to our shopping guidelines and assist when requested. We advise carving out at least 30 minutes to shop. Try on at home and return if the item does not work out. All clothing is yours to keep.
Child Care assistance is available for currently enrolled credit-seeking students. There are two programs available on campus, and Hawks Care Resource Center offers one application for both programs; Student Parent Success Program (fully funded by grant funding from the U.S. Department of Education Child Care Access Means Parents in School program) and Family Forward.
Eligible student parents for Student Parent Success Program will be a currently enrolled student at Harper College enrolled in a credit-bearing certificate or degree program for at least six credits for Fall/Spring semesters and three credits for Summer semester, have a completed FAFSA on file with our Office of Student Financial Assistance that shows Pell eligibility, be in good academic standing with a minimum GPA of 0 (new students) or 2.0 (current students), utilize an Illinois-licensed child care provider for ages birth - 12 years old, and not be receiving Illinois Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) benefits.

Our staff can loan laptops and hot spots as a support to currently-enrolled credit-seeking and AED students for the current semester who have no other access to technology. Inventory is limited and we suggest meeting with our staff. We’ll help you get set up and start your Office 365 student account if it is not set up.
