A service that saves HCC students several hundred dollars each year is the book rental program. HCC students do not pay high prices to buy their books. For a rental fee of $10.00 per credit hour, textbooks are provided to HCC students. All students are required to pay this fee.

This rental fee does not include workbooks or supplements required by the instructors. Books are distributed from the HCC College Store and must be returned at the completion of the semester or when dropping the course.

Any student who fails to return books by the specified date or when dropping the course will be assessed the current replacement cost of the book (s). All academic transcripts will be held until payment is received.

The HCC Mail Room is located within the College Store. Student mail boxes are located in the hall outside the College Store. All incoming mail is put in student mail boxes by approximately 12:00 PM each day. Outgoing mail can be mailed from this area. Outgoing mail leaves once a day (3:30 PM).

Students are required to have a student ID, as a security precaution, when picking up any incoming packages at the mailroom.

UPS service is also available at the mailroom. There is a $1.00 fee for handling plus shipping charges per package for all students and employees. This service is also available to all other individuals for a fee of $2.00 per package for handling plus shipping charges. Packages need to be secured with tape and have a proper shipping label including street address.

Items lost and found on the HCC campus are taken to the College Store. Items may be claimed with appropriate identification.
