Support for Student Parents
Generation Hope and FamilyU
FamilyU is a comprehensive, customized, evidence-based, two-year capacity-building experience designed to build and refine institutional competencies to improve the academic achievement of student parents. FamilyU equips higher education leaders at these selected institutions with the necessary tools, information, and coaching to make systemic changes to benefit students with parenting responsibilities. By exploring data, people, policies, and culture, and addressing the barriers and obstacles faced by student parents, FamilyU helps colleges and universities transform their campuses in ways that benefit all students.The HCCC FamilyU Team

Defining "Student Parents"
HCCC inclusively recognizes student parents as “a student who is a parent, guardian,
or assumes caregiving responsibilities of any biological, adopted, step, or foster
child(ren) living in their household part or full time. This includes pregnant and
expecting students."

Priority Registration for Student Parents
HCCC knows student parents must work around multiple competing priorities including
child care, work, childrens’ school and extracurriulcar activities and so much more!
Now, they can register early to have access to the most flexible class schedule. Registration
information can be found in the Enrollment Guide.
Basic Needs Resources for Student Parents
HCCC's Partnership with NJCU's Children's Learning Center
HCCC students can access affordable childcare at NJCUs fully licensed and accredited
. The center consists of a Preschool and Pre-K classroom as well as drop-in childcare
services—all at an extremely competitive cost to parents. In addition, the center
serves as a training site for NJCU students. The Children's Learning Center provides
a setting that supports students in their preprofessional field experience.
