Hillsborough Community College (HCC) has an open admissions policy, meaning it accepts all applicants who meet basic eligibility requirements. As a public community college, HCC prioritizes accessibility, allowing students with a high school diploma or GED to enroll. The institution does not publish a specific acceptance rate because it admits nearly all applicants.
However, some specialized programs may have additional criteria or limited seats, requiring separate applications. Prospective students should verify program-specific requirements. HCC’s inclusive approach supports its mission to provide affordable education and workforce training to the Tampa Bay area.
