The next opportunity to be admitted to the ADN (registered nursing) program at HCTC is for fall 2016 and the deadline to complete the application process is February 1, 2016.

The College will also admit a Practical Nursing class in January 2016 and the deadline to complete the application process is July 1, 2015.
