志工服務
校園內外
在面臨疫情的情況下，HCAS 為學生們提供了一些志工服務的機會，但並非強制性的。
助教計劃提供的服務時間，如果是全職工作，可以轉換為一個學分。
志願服務是向大學表明學生不僅關心學術成績，同時也關注社區福祉的好方法。
大學訪問協調
由於 COVID-19 而暫停
HCAS 在 COVID-19 前原訂為高年級學生們舉辦大學訪問會，為學生們大學意向提供不同的選擇和參考。
儘管目前情況如此，許多大學也順應提供虛擬大學訪問，以幫助學生尋找夢想中的學校。
選課
高中和預修課程
HCAS 大學輔導員將協助學生選擇必要的課程，以確保他們能滿足所有畢業要求。
此外，輔導員將協助學生選擇在大學第一年學習的課程，這是為了幫助學生通過通識教育要求以及參加他們感興趣的課程，為大學學習取得一個良好的開端。

SAT管理
SAT
為回應家長對 SAT 考試的高度重視，HCAS 今年將提供 8 種 SAT 模擬考試，這些測試是免費的，並將在一周內評分完畢並將考試結果返還給學生。
考試成績管理

PSAT 中的“P”代表初步階段，這意味著為 8、9 和 10 年級的學生將開始為 SAT 考試進行準備。學生在 11 和 12 年級可參與 SAT正式開始。 HCAS目前沒有提供 PSAT，因為 PSAT 本身就是模擬 SAT，已能為學生提供學習資源的需求與幫助學生做好SAT考試的準備。
