Halifax Community College

What Halifax Community College does

Halifax Community College is a public two-year community college founded in 1967 and operated by the North Carolina Community College System from its main campus in Weldon, North Carolina. It serves the Roanoke Valley and surrounding counties through an open-door admissions policy mandated by NC General Statute 115D, admitting any high school graduate or non-graduate aged 18 or older who can benefit from instruction. The college enrolls students across traditional, adult-learner, dual-enrollment, transfer, and international segments, and delivers instruction via on-campus courses, distance learning (Internet, Hybrid, and Blended modalities on Blackboard Learn), short-term workforce training, customized employer training, and WIOA-approved programs.

The academic portfolio spans healthcare (Associate Degree Nursing, LPN, Dental Hygiene, Medical Lab Technology, Phlebotomy), technical trades (Automotive, Welding, HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, Industrial Systems), business, criminal justice, early childhood education, and transfer pathways, awarding associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates. Student support services include TRIO/Student Support Services, a Dental Hygiene Clinic, a Small Business Center, veterans services, the Nurse-Family Partnership home-visiting program, and emergency aid (Finish Line Grant, ECMC funds). Four early college high school partnerships (Roanoke Valley, Northampton County, Halifax County, Roanoke Rapids) and guaranteed-admissions articulation agreements with East Carolina University, UNC Wilmington, Western Carolina University, and NC State University anchor the transfer ecosystem.

Revenue is generated through a mix of North Carolina state appropriations, tuition and fees, federal Title IV financial aid (Pell, FSEOG, Work-Study), the state-funded Next NC Scholarship (which covers full tuition and fees for NC households earning $80,000 or less when combined with Pell), customized employer training contracts, and private donations channeled through the HCC Foundation, a 501(c)(3) established in 1976 that awards more than 100 scholarships annually. Specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
