Campus Life FAQs
IF I NEED HELP, WHERE DO I GO?
As a Bridge Program student, you can benefit from services offered by both institutions. The following individuals are available to assist you: Resident Assistants, Bridge Peer Leaders, your HGTC Academic Adviser in Building 1100, tutors in HGTC's Student Success and Tutoring Center (SSTC) and CCU's Tutoring and Learning Center and the Assistant Provost. You can also get help with your computer and technology difficulties through HGTC's Help Desk, HGTC's Student Information Center: WaveNet Central, or CCU's Student Computing Services.
WHY CAN’T I PARTICIPATE IN NCAA SPORTS OR GREEK LIFE?
In order to participate in NCAA sports or Greek organizations, you must meet certain academic criteria as well as University admission standards. HGTC, like most community/technical colleges, does not sponsor NCAA teams or Greek organizations. When you establish academic eligibility and qualify for admission to the University, you may be eligible to participate in NCAA athletics and/or a Greek organization.
CAN I PLAY INTRAMURAL SPORTS OR CLUB SPORTS AT CCU?
Bridge program students have access to play intramural sports; however, club sports require that you must be a full-time CCU student, so you will not be able to participate in club sports. Please contact the intramural sports office at (843) 349-6680 for more information. Or check out University Recreation for more information.
CAN I PARTICIPATE IN THE CCU MARCHING BAND AND/OR ROTC?
Please contact Daphne Holland once you have auditioned and been accepted to participate in the marching band. For more information, view the CCU University Bands page.
If you are interested in ROTC, contact the ROTC office on the CCU campus prior to enrolling.
CAN I WORK ON THE CCU CAMPUS WHILE IN THE BRIDGE PROGRAM?
To work in most departments on the CCU campus, you must be a full-time CCU student. However, there are some departments such as the CCU Bookstore and CCU Dining Services that will hire without the requirement of being a full-time CCU student.
As a Bridge student, you are a full-time student at HGTC, which allows you full access to seek employment on the HGTC campus. Contact the Office of Career Services at HGTC for more information.
