FAQs

Advising

How will dropping or adding a class affect me?

Dropping a class can delay reaching your academic goal. Still, dropping a course may be your best option. Visit your advisor before deciding. Advisors can also discuss whether to add a class.

How do I transfer from Black Hawk College to another college or university?

The Transfer Center is your up-to-date source for admissions and major requirements at four-year colleges and universities. Access college catalogs, admission requirements and scholarship information. Meet college representatives visiting Black Hawk College and learn first-hand how your courses transfer.

What’s the difference between career programs and transfer programs of study?

Career programs range from short-term certificate programs to Associate of Applied Science degrees. Career programs give you up-to-date skills that prepare you to enter the workforce. Click here for career programs.

Transfer programs prepare you to continue your studies at a four-year university or college. At Black Hawk College you’ll earn an associate degree in all transfer programs, complete the general education courses accepted by most universities, and begin taking courses in your major area. Click here for degree planning worksheets and additional information on transfer degrees.

Can I still earn a degree or certificate if I attend part-time?

Absolutely. With good planning, you can attend part-time and still make steady progress toward your goal. Plan to meet regularly with your advisor to stay on track.

Who can I talk with about personal concerns?

Are you struggling with adjusting to college, or with stress, relationships, physical or emotional issues, depression, or something else unique to you? The college’s professional counselors are here to help.

I’m not a student at Black Hawk College yet. Can I meet with an advisor?

Which courses do I take for my program of study?

Use the Programs of Study link to locate your program and required courses.

Are online courses right for me?

If you have a busy schedule, online courses could be a convenient way to work your education around your active life. What does it take to do online classes? Computer skills? Time management skills?  Find answers to these questions and even take a short quiz by choosing Is Online Learning for Me?.
