Class Support
Learning Support Services
Our team in Learning Support Services is here to help students with a variety of academic needs. From tutoring to testing and essay support, we are here to help students achieve success during their time at HCC.
Technology Help Desk
Don't let technology be a barrier with your studies. From program and hardware support to just talking through how to use a program, our team is here to help you with what you need to be successful with your studies.
Library
HCC's library is more than a great place to study solo or as a group. Our team offers research support through resources available at our library and from a myriad of others. Our team can also help answer questions related to appropriately quoting sources and quick-help videos right on the library web page.
Wifi access
Looking for wifi access? In addition to the library, HCC offers wifi locations on campus for students and employees. Access to these locations is available when the main gates are open, during regular business hours.
Instructor office hours
Did you know that each instructor holds office hours so you have the ability to meet with them one-on-one? Most instructors even offer virtual appointments to make getting together easier. We encourage you to reach out for a meeting if you need to talk through your progress, a specific assignment, or just get a couple of questions answered. For additional reference, we also encourage you to review your course syllabus to ensure you are staying on track.
Check grades on moodle
If you're wondering where you're at in a class grade-wise, be sure to check Moodle. This is your one-stop for all things course related. Staying on top of your grades is one way to ensure you stay on track of your progress. It's also a great way to see areas you may need to focus on to improve your grade. Be sure to chat with your instructor to see how they can help you ensure course success.

Financial
Lavender Fund
If you are facing a financial hardship or an unforeseen financial need, our team has numerous funding sources to help. Expenses such as rent, medical, transportation and childcare, we're here to help to keep you on a successful educational track.
Finish Line Grant
Too often, financial emergencies like unexpected healthcare costs, childcare expenses or vehicle breakdowns prevent students from completing their programs. Finish Line Grants are awarded to eligible students facing unforeseen challenges.
Finish Line Grants provide community college students that are 25% of the way toward completing their degree or credential program with emergency aid up to $1,000 per semester for an unanticipated financial hardship. These grants may help cover costs such as transportation, childcare, housing assistance, utility bills, medical needs and assistance with tuition, fees, or course materials.
Child Care Grant
Haywood Community College (HCC) has a limited amount of childcare funds available through the NC Childcare Grant to assist eligible students. Funds are awarded on a first come, first served basis.
