Can I transfer credits?
HCC students who wish to transfer course credit to HCC from another institution of higher education are encouraged to submit an Application for Transfer Credit, available from the HCC Office. The application will be reviewed for eligible transfer credits. No high school courses will be considered for transfer credits.
It is the responsibility of each applicant to request such transcripts to be sent to HCC. Applicant transcripts from another institution of higher learning are reviewed by the Academic Team upon receipt by Heartland Christian College.
HCC has a matriculation agreement with Central Christian College of the Bible. Liberty University accepts nearly all of HCC’s credits and various other universities have accepted a limited number of credits from HCC graduates. If you are interested in transferring credits to another institution, please contact the HCC office for further details or fill out a Transcript Request Form.

What is a Pastoral Reference Questionnaire?
Each student applying to HCC is required to have a pastor or leader fill out this questionnaire. The pastor or leader should be someone that is somewhat involved in your life and could answer questions regarding your spiritual life. It is asked that this person not be a relative. This Reference Questionnaire is part of the online application. Prospective students fill out the name and email address for the chosen leader. Our system will automatically send a request to the pastor/leader. The pastor/leader will complete the questionnaire online and it will automatically load to your application.
What is a Pre-Admission Interview?
A pre-admission interview is conducted after all other application information is received. This interview will be set up with a member of the HCC Executive Council. It is preferred that this interview is completed in person, but it is possible to do a video interview if meeting in person is not possible. The interviewer will ask the student questions regarding their church, personal, and job-related experiences. The interviewer will then make a recommendation to HCC Administration for or against acceptance.
What is required in the personal testimony?
A student’s personal testimony should be a brief account of the student’s salvation experience and journey as a Christian since that time. A statement regarding the student’s desire and reason for wanting to attend HCC is also encouraged. One page length is sufficient.
