You should apply as soon as possible before the semester you plan to attend. Applying early will allow you the time you need to complete the COMPASS placement assessment, submit your ACT scores (if needed), and submit your high school and/or college transcripts.

Using our online application, you may apply as late as when classes begin. You are encouraged to apply early whenever possible so you have the opportunity to work with our helpful advisors and staff as you begin your academic journey at Hopkinsville Community College. In addition, if you apply early, you will have a better selection of classes available to you.
We offer a wide array of programs leading to associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates.
Once you have completed the admissions process, you have enrolled in Hopkinsville Community College. Registering is the process of requesting your classes each semester.
Our academic advisors will help you begin the process of planning your journey based on your previous education, career, and personal goals.
Absolutely. You can discuss career plans, course selection, program or degree requirements, transfer requirements, and other academic and social issues. If you would like to attend the Hopkinsville campus, visit or contact our Advising Center. If you would like to attend the Fort Campbell campus, visit the Glenn H. English, Jr. Army Education Center or call (270) 707-3810 to request an appointment with an advisor.
Yes! Every student at the college has an advisor. You may view your assigned advisor in your student self-service, which also has the contact information for your convenience.
You may view your To Do List in the student self-service in the upper-right hand corner of your student center. Your To Do List may change at any time, so be sure to check it frequently. It’s not uncommon for students to enroll initially without submitting all required records. However, if you’re a transfer student, you’ll need to complete your file in order to be eligible for financial aid.
Short answer: no. You don’t need to declare a major immediately. If you do, however, we’ll select an advisor for you based on your academic interest. Declaring a major will also make you eligible for financial aid. If you don’t choose a major when you apply, or if you change your major after admission, please contact the Admissions & Records Office.
The Fort Campbell campus is a thriving extended campus of Hopkinsville Community College located in the Glenn H. English Army Education Center on post at Fort Campbell, KY inside Gate 4. Fort Campbell offers a full schedule of courses similar to the ones offered on the Hopkinsville campus and is open to the public. Many of the technical programs, such as our Nursing programs are offered at the Hopkinsville campus but many students complete the general education courses needed at the Fort Campbell campus.
If you are a visiting student from another college and would like to take classes with us, you will need to have permission from your home college. It is not necessary to submit a letter of good standing, but you will need to provide a letter from your college stating that you are able to take classes with Hopkinsville and that they will accept our classes.
