Harper College offices will be closed Monday, September 2 in observance of Labor Day.
In 2023, the U.S. Department of Education designated Harper College a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). As a result, Harper was awarded federal funding to establish an HSI program that will focus on enhancing educational programming and student support services in a culturally responsive way for Latine and other underrepresented students, though all students will benefit. Harper is proud of its identity as an HSI, with Latine students constituting approximately 30% of total enrollment.
Harper College will provide tailored student support for Latine and other underrepresented students through culturally responsive education, advising and support services.
Harper College is a welcoming environment for all students, regardless of immigration status. If you are a student or the parent of a student who is undocumented or has DACA status, we have resources for you.
There are many factors outside the classroom that influence your success. At Harper, numerous services have been thoughtfully designed to support your transition into college and your success as a student.
