Learn4ward Open House

HFC will host a Learn4ward Open House on Thursday, March 14, from 3:00 to 6:30 p.m. in the Community Rooms of the Welcome Center (Building WC on the main campus). The event and on-site parking are free. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Learn4ward is a partnership between HFC and four of our university partners to provide guaranteed admission as a transfer student to:

• University of Michigan-Dearborn
• Wayne State University
• Davenport University - fully-online degree options available
• Eastern Michigan University

The purpose of Learn4ward is to allow you to begin your academic and career pathway at HFC and seamlessly transfer to one of our university partners, earning both an associate and bachelor’s degree within 4-6 years. HFC students no longer have to “ask permission” to transfer. If you meet the criteria while enrolled at HFC, you are in. Guaranteed. You will have access to top-quality, personalized advising, as well as resources and benefits on the HFC campus and the campus of your chosen transfer university.

At this open house, you will have the opportunity to:

• Talk with representatives from any or all of the four university partners.
• Meet with HFC Academic Advisors to plan your classes for the Summer 2024 and Fall 2024 semesters at HFC, making sure your classes will transfer seamlessly to your chosen transfer university.
• Meet with HFC recruiters.
