Priority Registration
Please see the Academic Calendar or the Online Class Search for important registration dates.
After applying for admission, new or returning students receive two emails. The second email from AHC includes your myHancock login information. Wait about 4 hours before logging in.
Continuing students log in with their existing credentials.
New, Promise, and Transfer Students: must complete orientation, English/Math placement*, and a first-semester plan with a counselor to qualify for priority registration.
Returning and Continuing Students: must complete orientation, placement, and have a student plan on file.
Priority Groups must remain in good standing and complete orientation, placement, and a student education plan. (Board Policy 5055).
If prerequisites were completed at another college, submit official transcripts to the Admissions Office before registration.
