Concurrent Student Handbook
The Concurrent Student Handbook [pdf] contains helpful information about Hawkeye's policies and procedures.
Withdrawing from a Course
If you are considering dropping or withdrawing from a course, it is important to know how you are enrolled in that specific course.
- Concurrent Enrollment: If the course is paid by your high school, speak with your high school counselor to discuss the process.
- High School Guest Student: If you are self-paying for the course, contact the High School Partnerships office to discuss the process.
You must confirm and understand withdrawal deadlines for both your high school (if applicable) and Hawkeye. Withdrawing from a course may affect your grade point average, graduation requirements (for concurrent enrollment), eligibility for high school activities (for concurrent enrollment), and even your college financial aid eligibility.
My Hawkeye and Canvas
My Hawkeye is your access to your Hawkeye email, grades, and other important online services.
Canvas is Hawkeye’s online learning management system. The course syllabus, your grades, as well as course materials including assignments and videos, will be available in Canvas.
Resetting your Hawkeye password
Your username and passwords for My Hawkeye and Canvas will be the same. Always reset your password in My Hawkeye. Resetting your password in Canvas will not work.
If you need help resetting your password, please contact the High School Partnerships office.
Privacy of Your Records (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) specifies your rights with respect to your educational records.
When you enroll in college courses at Hawkeye, you may choose to grant access to your academic records to a parent or guardian. The first time you complete the DualEnroll application, you will have the option to complete this information. If you wish to make changes to what was provided when you submitted your DualEnroll application, contact the High School Partnerships office.
When you enroll in a concurrent enrollment course, students grant designated high school personnel permission to discuss issues in the classroom and receive grades.
Hawkeye advises high school counselors to refer students to their instructors with course-related questions or concerns. Instructors may also communicate with the high school counselor regarding a specific student.
If you have questions or concerns, contact the High School Partnerships office.
Support Services
As a high school student taking college courses, you have access to helpful support services.
Tutoring
Hawkeye’s tutoring services are free and available in a variety of formats. We have several on-campus tutoring centers, one-on-one tutors, and 24-7 online tutoring through Brainfuse.
Connect with your High School Partnerships representative to find the best option for you.
Academic Planning
If you and your high school counselor determine that you would benefit from our academic advising contact the High School Partnerships team. We’ll be able to help and will make sure you connect with the best Hawkeye advisors for your goals.
Student Accessibility Services
Students with disabilities may be eligible for support services designed for their needs. Our student accessibility services coordinator can assist you with determining your eligibility (based on a 504 or IEP). Contact the High School Partnerships office to begin the process.
Please note, a high school 504 or IEP does not directly transfer to your Hawkeye Community College courses. Accommodations must be set up at Hawkeye.
