Huskins Classes

Huskins Classes are college classes that are designated primarily for high school students. Huskins classes may be offered either on a high school or a CFCC campus.
See the 2008-09 Huskins Schedule for a list of classes offered at CFCC or a local high school.
Students are enrolled in Huskins classes on a space-available basis.
See below to learn about program costs, admission requirements, and enrollment information.
Program Costs
Tuition:
Tuition is FREE for fall and spring semesters.
(Huskins classes are not offered in the summer. If you want to take a CFCC class in the summer, you may do so through Concurrent Enrollment.)
Textbooks and Supplies:
Unless your school provides textbooks, you are responsible for purchasing all required textbooks and supplies for each class you take. Some classes, such as cosmetology, require students to purchase scrubs and other additional supplies. Your instructor will give you information on how to purchase supplies not found in the CFCC Bookstore.
See the CFCC Bookstore for current book listings and prices.

If you are taking a Huskins class that meets at a CFCC campus, students are charged student activity, technology, and parking/security fees. To see the current schedule of fees, please see our Tuition and Fees web page.
Cosmetology Students: Cosmetology students must purchase professional liability insurance through CFCC.
All student fees are due at the beginning of the semester.
