Returning students

Welcome back to Harper College

If you previously took classes at Harper College or earned Dual Credit from Harper as a high school student, let’s work together to help you re-enroll so you can continue your education and achieve your goals.

You are considered a returning student if:

• You earned Dual Credit from Harper College when you were in high school.
• You previously attended Harper College (part time or full time) and have been away from Harper for three full semesters.
  • If you have been away for fewer than three semesters, you can proceed to the MyHarper portal and register for classes.

Take the next step

• Log in to the Harper College application and complete a “Returning Student” application.
• Choose “Returning Student” after logging in.
  • Select the “Student at Large” student type if you plan to take a single class or two at Harper College.
  • If you plan to attend Harper College to earn a credential, please choose “Certificate-Seeking” or “Degree-Seeking” depending on the credential you plan to pursue.
• Complete the required enrollment steps
  • Steps to enroll: Certificate-Seeking
  • Steps to enroll: Degree-Seeking
  • Steps to enroll: Student at Large

Tips for Dual Credit students

• Because you have already earned credit from Harper College, a transcript is not needed.
• There is no application fee to enroll as a returning student.
• After you complete placement requirements, you’ll be assigned an academic advisor who can work with you to plan the courses to take next.
• Advising is required for degree-seeking students. Advising is optional for certificate-seeking students, but can be helpful to ensure that you are taking the right courses to achieve your goals.
