How to Register for Global Classroom High School Program Course(s)

  1. The student submits the completed Student Record Information - SRI (PDF) form to their school administrator (i.e., principal, counselor, advisor) electronically for their signature to verify that they are enrolled in high school and that the course(s) they have selected are appropriate for them.
  2. The school administrator then forwards the completed SRI to the college's Registrar's Office at Registrar@hvcc.edu with a copy to the Office of Global Initiatives at Global@hvcc.edu.
    • The deadline to submit a competed SRI for Spring 2024 courses is Jan. 4, 2024.
    • Once the completed SRI is received by the college's Registrar's Office it will be processed for registration.
    • Each registered student will then receive an email message with additional instructions.
