Previous financial aid recipients:
the AATC, or from their home computers. The orientation provides students with key information about the college, degree options, and the registration process.
Students will usually receive a “Renewal Application” by mail sometime before January 1 of each year. The applicant, to ensure that the FAFSA results are sent to all colleges desired, must enter school codes or complete addresses for prospective colleges.
Once orientation is completed, new students will work with an academic advisor to create a schedule of classes.
Conditions for Awards
Beyond the first term, the Academic Advising and Transfer Center remains the place to come for advising for those students completing skill-building courses (e.g. RD90, WR90, MTH10, MTH20), those exploring program options, and those preparing to enter one of MHCC’s limited or restricted entry programs. Students may make an appointment with an advisor to develop an educational plan, review degree progress, or receive an unofficial evaluation of transfer credit. Students may also drop in and utilize resources located in the Transfer Center. The Transfer Center includes a library of college catalogs, advising guides for popular college majors, and internet access to transfer schools and programs nationwide.
The following three items are the key conditions reviewed when awarding financial aid: 1. The size of the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) The FAFSA data is used to calculate this number. This number is used to determine eligibility for most types of financial aid. 2. The budget of the student while in college 3. Availability of the types of aid
Application Verification All schools and colleges must verify some of the data on a percentage of FAFSA applications. All students must submit at least unofficial grade transcripts from all colleges previously attended before the review process will be considered complete.
Continuing students who have declared a major should seek information and assistance primarily from their faculty advisor. Meet with your faculty advisor periodically to make sure you are on the right track to meet your goals. Contact information for faculty advisors is available at www.mhcc.edu/advising and on specific program pages of this catalog.
This office must be notified of official transcripts already submitted to the Admissions and Records Office.

Please use the following checklist to review required steps prior to registration: ❑ Complete the Student Admission Form, submit it to the Admissions and Records Office and pay the one-time nonrefundable admission fee if registering for the first time for credit courses.
Testing Services is often one of the first stops for potential students. To be properly placed into courses, new students must take a College Placement Test (CPT). This test, which covers reading, writing and mathematics, helps to assess your academic readiness and will help you choose classes that fit your present skill level.
❑ Take the College Placement Test (CPT) if you plan to take six or more credit hours or if you plan to take any course in English composition, mathematics, chemistry or reading.
You may not have to take the placement test if: · You have transcripted coursework in reading, writing, and/or mathematics. Bring a copy of your transcript to the Academic Advising and Transfer Center for assistance.
OR Bring college transcripts if you have completed English composition and a mathematics course, both with a grade of “C” or higher to the Academic Advising and Transfer Center or fax to 503-491-7388 so that the CPT may be waived.
· You have taken a college placement test at another college within the last 12 months. Bring a copy of your score report to Testing Services to have your scores evaluated. Students may be asked to take only the Math part of the CPT.
❑ Update your student record with the Admissions and Records Office if changes have occurred to your name, address, phone number and/or major.
· You are taking fewer than 6 credits that do not include reading, writing, mathematics or chemistry courses.
❑ Complete an education plan by meeting with a staff member in the Academic Advising and Transfer Center or a faculty advisor.
Step 4. Talk to an Advisor
❑ Review a current schedule of classes to select courses and to learn important dates, policies and procedures.
Academic Advising and Transfer Center Room AC 2182 503- 491-7315 www.mhcc.edu/academics/advising
❑ Complete a registration form or Touch Tone or web worksheet with the courses you have selected. ❑ Register via Touch Tone, Web, or in person. Mail in registration is available for Continuing Education classes only.
The next stop for most new students is the Academic Advising and Transfer Center (AATC). Prior to sitting down with an advisor, students may have the option to attend an in-person orientation session or complete an online orientation, www.mhcc.edu/orientation. Those students selecting the on-line version may complete the orientation in the Testing Center,
❑ Make arrangements to pay tuition and fees with the Cashier’s Office. Registration assistance is available in the Academic Advising and Transfer Center or in the Admissions and Records Office.

Step 6. Pay for Classes
Student Financial Responsibility By enrolling or having enrolled as a student at Mt. Hood Community College, you agree to be responsible for all charges on your student account and abide by the student account practices and policies. Students will be held accountable for understanding the practices and policies of college billing and collections. Detailed descriptions are provided on pages 198-199 of this catalog. They include: • Types of Fees • Definition of Terms
Business Office – Student Billing Accounts Receivable Room AC 2260 503-491-6981 or 503-491-7276 www.mhcc.edu/admissions/financial_matters
College Tuition and Fees The MHCCD Board of Education sets tuition rates and reserves the right to make changes without notice. The amount of tuition you pay is determined by your residency and by the number of credit hours you are taking. Some classes require an additional course fee. There may be other types of fees assessed as well. A full description of tuition and fees are listed in the quarterly schedule of classes or on the web.
• Student Account Statements
• Past Due Accounts
• Collections
• Refunds
• Student Rights and Responsibilities
Payment Due Date
This information is also available:
Payment for all tuition and fees is due on or before the published due date, usually the first day of the term. All charges on your student account must be paid in full before you can register for another term.
• In the applicable student handbook and brochures • In the quarterly schedule of classes • On the MHCC website.
Payment Options The college has four options available for payment. No other payment arrangements are available. 1. Pay all tuition and fees by the first day of the term. If a student registers after the term begins, payment is due the day of registration. This includes courses added from wait lists.
Step 7. Plan for Success After you have taken care of all of the details needed to apply, enroll and register at Mt. Hood, you want to enjoy your time here, as well as maintain a good academic career. Certainly good study skills, adequate preparation, and attendance are important. Sometimes, though, other factors may affect how you persist at the school. We have many options that can assist you in this endeavor:
2. Student Installment Payment Note Student may opt to arrange for a deferred payment plan. Tuition/fees may be deferred if: • The student registers using an official social security number • Tuition/fees total $100 or more • No other monies are owed to the college
Career planning/Declaring a major The most successful students are those who have connected with a career focus and with faculty who share those career interests. Choosing a major is an important step in your academic life. Choosing a career and a major requires some introspection on your part. Our Career Planning and Counseling Center located in Room AC 2182 can help you discern your interests, skills, abilities and values, and tie those to majors and careers. You can declare your major at any time; just look for the major change forms in the academic and student services departments. For more information, call 503-491-7432.
Student Installment Payment Notes are not available to international students. If classes have been added after the Student Installment Payment Note has been signed, call Accounts Receivable immediately, 503-491-6981 or 503-491-7276. Additional charges to the student account may cause changes in the required minimum payment. Failure to pay the new minimum payment would drop the student from the Student Installment Payment Note plan.
Design an educational plan
3. Financial Aid/Scholarship
Once you have chosen a career path and major, it is imperative that you design an educational plan that will lead you to the correct degree and its requirements. The Academic Advising and Transfer Center (AATC) can assist you with this, as well as with many other advising needs. Once you choose a major, you should work with your assigned academic advisor, who will be in your career field. In the AATC, a well-stocked Transfer Information Center is available on line and in hard copy; advisors can also help you with many important issues in the transfer process. The number is 503-491-7315 and the Center is located in Room AC 2182.
If a student’s financial aid is not available by the first day of the term or does not completely cover their tuition amount, they should select option 1 or 2 above. If a balance remains on their student account past the due date, the account is subject to late fees and collection costs. 4. Agency or Company Arrangements for payment by an agency or company must be pre-approved by the college. The student is responsible to ensure that a payment authorization is on file in the College’s Accounts Receivable department by the first day of the term. Ultimately the student is responsible for payment of all unpaid charges, including late fees and third party service fees.
Tutoring and assistance If you have difficulties with your academic work, don’t delay in asking for help. The Learning Assistance Center (LAC) provides a wide array of services, including tutoring and learning strategies workshops that could assist you. The LAC is located on the Mezzanine of the Library. For information, call 503-491-7108. Of course, you should always utilize the office hours of your instructors for assistance and questions about their courses.
Payment Types All payments must be made in US funds. Acceptable payment types include: • Cash • Money Order • Visa • MasterCard • Check
If you find that you have difficulties with finances, outside pressures or need a job or any other type of assistance, please contact any member of the Student Development and Services staff on campus. They will be able to refer you to an appropriate source.

All three courses must be taken to satisfy the 15 credit requirement. Students who successfully complete will receive credit in writing, social science, science, and humanities.
Certificate Requirements The one-year certificate will be awarded to students who satisfy the following requirements: 1. Successfully complete all required courses in a one-year certificate program as listed in the catalog. Progression of classes must be vertical. That is, once a course has been successfully completed, a lower level course may not be taken for credit.
C. Mathematics
2. All programs of study of one academic year or more in length for which certificates are granted require a recognizable body of instruction in program-related areas of 1) communication, 2) computation (mathematics), and 3) human relations. Please refer to the individual program for specific courses.
Three quarter-credit hours at a level equivalent to MTH20 or higher (except MTH33, MTH34, MTH35). D. Human Relations Three quarter-credit hours; refer to the approved general education course list below. E. Humanities (Arts and Letters) 12 credit hours in humanities (arts and letters) (maximum of six credit hours in skill oriented classes). F. Social Sciences 12 credit hours in social science. G. Science/Mathematics/Computer Science 9 credit hours in science or mathematics or computer science. (MTH20 and MTH40 are excluded and will not meet this requirement.) H. Complete the above requirements plus elective courses (no more than 25 credits of one discipline may apply as electives) to total 90 applicable credit hours. Elective courses may be any course number 10 or higher, not including those listed as Developmental Education courses, see page 200. A maximum of 25 credits of ENL courses numbered 100 or higher may be applied toward the AGS degree. (ENL94R, ENL94S, and ENL94W are not to be included. See Developmental Education Courses.)
Repeated courses may be counted only once toward graduation unless specified in the course description or unless specifically required in a program curriculum. Students who are pursuing an MHCC certificate at MHCC who have earned a baccalaureate degree or higher from an accredited institution of higher education will have satisfied the general education requirements for the certificate. However, students must complete or have completed the program specific general education course requirements within a certificate. 3. Achieve a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher. 4. Maintain a 2.00 GPA for all courses being applied toward the certificate and maintain a 2.00 GPA in the candidate’s major classes. 5. Satisfactorily earn 24 hours of credit at Mt. Hood Community College and be in attendance at MHCC the term in which the certificate is completed. Non-traditional credit (College Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement Program, Challenge, Experience-Based Credit, International Baccalaureate) does not satisfy this requirement. 6. Complete the application process and pay a non-refundable graduation application fee two quarters prior to the quarter of completion (e.g., spring term graduates must apply during fall term).
3. Achieve a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher.

Associate of Arts - Oregon Transfer Degree The Oregon Transfer Degree (Associate of Arts) is a program of study that community college students can follow to fulfill all their lower division general education requirements for a bachelor’s degree at an Oregon University System institution. It is an agreement between the Oregon State System of Higher Education and Oregon’s community colleges to provide transfer of community college coursework to an Oregon university system institution. Completion of the Oregon Transfer Degree can lead to junior standing, for registration purposes, for any student admitted to a university in the Oregon university system: University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Portland State University, Western Oregon University, Southern Oregon University, Oregon Institute of Technology and Eastern Oregon University. However, some school, department or major requirements with regard to courses or grade point average may not be fulfilled by this degree Students considering transfer to private and out-of-state institutions will find the Oregon Transfer Degree to be excellent preparation for upper division study. A similar transfer agreement also exists between Mt. Hood Community College and Concordia University, Pacific University, Warner Pacific College, George Fox University and Marylhurst University in the Portland area, as well as Western Baptist College, BYU-Hawaii, Hawaii Pacific University, Boise State University, Seattle Pacific University, and Washington State University. Upon enrolling at Mt. Hood Community College, students need to be ready for college-level mathematics, writing and science in order to complete the Associate of Arts Degree in two years. If students lack the necessary skills, MHCC offers excellent preparatory courses and tutorial assistance to help them get on track quickly. Please refer to page 200, “Courses Numbered 100-299,” for more information. The Associate of Arts Degree will be awarded to students who satisfy the following requirements: 1. Complete a minimum of 90 applicable credit hours. See #5 for an explanation (Some majors may require more than 90 credit hours.) 2. Successfully complete all required courses. Progression of classes must be vertical. That is, once a course has been successfully completed, a lower level course may not be taken for credit.
5. Complete elective courses to reach a total of 90 credits. The courses must be numbered 100 or above. However, only up to 12 credit hours of professional/technical courses numbered 100 or above may be applied as electives toward this degree. Professional/technical courses offered at community colleges in Oregon are identified by specific alpha prefixes. Please see page 200 for a list of the professional-technical alpha prefixes offered at Mt. Hood Community College.
Repeated courses may be counted only once toward graduation unless specified in the course description or unless specifically required in a program curriculum. 3. Achieve a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher and maintain a 2.00 GPA for all courses being applied toward the degree.

Professional-Technical Education Program Description
Occupational Extension Programs and Courses
Mt. Hood Community College offers selected professional technical education curricula designed to prepare students for gainful employment. The professional-technical programs serve the community by providing business, industry and the trades with workers who have learned basic skills and competencies.
In addition to the regular professional and technical associate degree and certificate programs designed to prepare students for entry into occupational careers, Mt. Hood Community College offers occupational extension programs. The purpose of these programs is to develop the abilities, skills and attitudes needed to achieve employment stability or advancement.
The objectives of professional-technical education at Mt. Hood Community College are: • To provide pre-employment instruction in the development of manipulative skills and technical knowledge, including emphasis on health, safety, job orientation, business standards and ethics, customer relations, human relations in industry, and the responsibilities of citizenship. • To assist those in need of retraining and readjustment by providing professional-technical offerings to meet changing industrial conditions. • To provide apprenticeship and other skills, technical knowledge, safety and employer-employee relations for those already employed in industry. • To provide professional-technical education students with the opportunity to extend their educational achievements through participation in a program leading to an associate degree. • To contribute to the welfare of the community by providing conscientious, productive, intelligent workers. There are two basic types of professional-technical programs offered by MHCC:
Students enrolled in regular preparatory programs may apply occupational extension courses toward their major upon consent and approval of their program adviser. However, occupational extension programs are not financial aid eligible. The following occupational extension programs and courses are offered, depending upon the availability of fiscal resources: Central Service Technician ..................................Call 503-491-7179 Certified Travel Associate...................................

Apprenticeship Mt. Hood Community College works in cooperation with the State Apprenticeship Council and the following Apprenticeship Training Committees: Brickmasons/Tilesetters .......................................... 503-234-3781 Cement Masons ..................................................... 503-408-8555 Glaziers, Architectural Metal and Glass Workers ............................................... 503-226-4089 IAM ..................................................... 503-669-3113 Pacific Inside Electrical ........................................... 543-756-6997 Plasterers ......................................................503-232-3257 Plumbers/Fitters and Marine Metal Trades .................503-691-1997 Sheet Metal ......................................................503-257-1022
The ASSOCIATE of APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE program provides two years of specialized education designed to prepare the student for career entry: The CERTIFICATE programs are occupation-oriented programs of shorter duration than the associate degree program. Selected transfer courses may be substituted for general education requirements in many professional-technical associate degree or certificate programs. All transfer course substitutions must be approved by the appropriate associate dean. Professional-technical programs that include general, related or approved electives as part of the curriculum require that the student obtain approval to take such courses PRIOR to registration.
For further information on apprenticeship programs, please call the State Apprenticeship Council at 503-731-4072, located at 800 NE Oregon Street, Portland, Oregon, or contact the Mt. Hood Community College Apprenticeship Program Coordinator at 503-491-7401.
Recognition of Completion Recognition of Completion is a non-transcripted award granted by Mt. Hood Community College to identify completion of a body of coursework in specific areas.
Alternative Credit 2+2 TECH PREP. Students from high schools that have 2 + 2 Tech Prep program articulation agreements with MHCC may earn credit as outlined in the program agreements. The procedure for earning credit may be through credit by examination or as detailed in the program agreements. Earned credit will be transcripted on the MHCC permanent record. Participation in 2 + 2 Tech Prep does not automatically enroll a person in an MHCC certificate or degree program. MHCC admissions procedures and requirements must still be met. Your local high school can provide interested students with procedures.

After completing the third quarter you will receive the Accounting Clerk certificate documenting your completion of the one-year program.
15
Anyone with a limited amount of time or funds can get started in this practical, cost effective program. Recent high school graduates who need employable skills in a relatively short period of time, small business owners or prospective small business owners who need the

Second Quarter (Winter)
accounting basics and business office skills, and returning students who want retraining into a career that provides continued opportunities for advancement all find this program attractive. Many accounting students work part or full time.
BA177 BT110 BT116 BT210__ BT210__ CIS120L
Completion of the first quarter prepares you for an entry level office job requiring word processing and data entry skills, use and understanding of a basic accounting system, manual and/or electronic organization and maintenance of office records, as well as a general understanding of business terminology and business math including the use of an electronic calculator.
15
Completion of the second quarter qualifies you to be among the few job applicants who are prepared to process payroll, meeting all the needs of the employer and the legal reporting requirements. In addition to learning the basic principles and applications of computer technology you will be proficient in using computer spreadsheets, the accountant’s most important computer tool. Business communication skills and the ability to use electronic mail, electronic scheduling, and multi-line telephone systems will further strengthen your ability to make a contribution in any business environment.
Third Quarter (Spring) BA213 BA228 BT103 BT218 WR121
* Prerequisite: See course description in back of catalog. ** BT121 may be substituted for BT11S and BT210__ Word Processing. *** Students may not use demonstrated proficiency on the College Placement Test (CPT) to satisfy this requirement. Note: Students must earn a grade of “C” or better in all Accounting classes in order to be awarded a degree in Accounting Technology or an Accounting Clerk certificate.
The longer you are able to stay in the program the more qualified you will be to assume additional job responsibilities. It is an EASY TRANSITION from the one-year Accounting Clerk program to the two-year Accounting Technology Degree program. Many students start the Accounting Clerk program and then decide they want to expand their knowledge and skills and be rewarded for performing even more challenging job responsibilities by earning the two-year Accounting Technology degree.

What are the opportunities in small business? In the last seven years small businesses with fewer than 20 employees have been the major contributing factor to employment growth in Oregon. In addition, almost 90 percent of the businesses in Oregon and nationwide employ fewer than 20 people. What this means is that small business is where the new and existing jobs are, and small businesses hire people with the education, knowledge and experience relating to the needs of their small business. This program is directly focused on the practical, hands-on aspects of small business.

The Environmental Health and Safety program provides students a basic understanding of the environmental health and safety issues. The technical nature of this field requires basic courses in math and chemistry in order to understand and work more effectively in this field. The program includes lectures, class projects, and an internship. The curriculum would be suitable for high school graduates, people now working in industry in the areas of occupational safety and health, or environmental management, and those with no related job experience wanting to change careers. Persons assigned new duties in this area may find individual courses will fulfill their needs for continuing professional education. Students completing an Associate’s Degree in the EHS program may transfer to several different four-year schools for the Bachelor of Science degree in different environmental fields. Interested students should contact the program advisor for additional information.
Students enrolling in the Certificate program are expected to be interested in starting their own business within a short period of time. They most likely would already have a set of skills or interests that they want to use to start and operate their own business or franchise. For those students who want more education or training in a customdesigned program, they should investigate the two-year associates degree in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management. The two-year program allows students to customize their own individual program of skill, development and training by choosing to take more elective courses. All of the courses in the one-year certificate program are necessary in the two-year degree program. Therefore, it is easy for a student who gets a one-year certificate to decide to go on for a two-year degree.
What are the Possibilities for Employment? The Environmental Health and Safety program prepares students for well paid jobs in the growing fields of environmental health and safety. Small to large companies have the need for at least one person responsible for environmental health and/or safety issues. Employment in the environmental field include such jobs as program managers, regulatory officers, auditors, field and lab technicians, scientists, researchers, educators, and trainers. Employment in the health and safety field include such jobs as safety technicians, safety officers, accident investigators, industrial hygienists, risk managers, program developers, and program managers.

MHCC Faculty Advisor Sven Svenson: 503-491-7477 - Room AC 2589 svensons@mhcc.edu
Horticulture is the largest agronomic industry in Oregon. Wholesale sales of nursery plants, greenhouse plants, and Christmas trees grown in Oregon exceeded $830,000,000 in 2001. These industries continue to grow even during slow economic cycles, helping to keep Oregonians employed. In the United States, only California and Florida produce more ornamental plants than Oregon. Successful production of nursery and greenhouse crops in Oregon often requires use of advanced technology, including robotics, computer control systems, and tissue culture systems.
‡ See pages 7-9.
Fisheries Technology
Positions are available for horticultural specialists in production, business management, pest management, marketing, government inspection, public gardens, teaching, research, horticultural supplies and equipment, the health care industry, sales, and many other areas. At MHCC, many students are employed while they are full-time students.

MHCC offers a two-year Associate of Applied Science degree in graphic design. It is a limited-entry program. Applicants are admitted on a space available basis after admission criteria have been met and a portfolio review conducted by faculty. Because the core courses are sequential, students may start in the fall term only. Transfer students may be able to enroll in specific courses winter and spring terms with instructor permission. To be fully admitted into the program, students must apply for and be accepted into the program for the following fall term. Students interested in this program should contact the Graphic Design program advisor at 503-491-6992 to discuss curricula, employment opportunities, aptitude, etc. Application packets are available on our web site at http://www.mhcc.edu/LRadmissions. Once you have read the application materials, you can call 503-491-7165 if you have questions about the admission process.
** Students must achieve a 2.0 or better grade point average for acceptance into fourth quarter. *** Students may elect to take the internship for 3 credits (FSE240A) in fall or winter and then again in spring for 3 credits. ‡ See pages 7-9. Note: While graduation from high school is not required for admission to the college, national accreditation standards require that a high school diploma or the equivalent be on file before the student can be admitted to the Funeral Service Education program. These same standards also require that a recent health certificate be submitted to the college prior to acceptance in the program. The criteria for selecting students gives priority to those applicants who have apprentice experience. Somewhat less priority is given to those with related work experience. Another criteria, gives priority to applicants from Oregon, then slightly less priority for Washington, Idaho, and Montana applicants. All other states are treated equally. Students from California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Washington automatically pay in-state tuition.

Graphic Design is a creative process that utilizes art and technology to communicate ideas. By orchestrating color, type, symbols, and images, the graphic designer creates and manages the production of pieces designed to interest, inform, sell or persuade a specific audience. While graphic design has traditionally meant the design of printed material, it also includes signage and architectural graphics, and with computer technology it encompasses film, television, video, animation and interactivity. Packaging, bookcovers, newspapers and magazines, posters, corporate logos, computer-based interactive multimedia presentations and web pages are just a few examples of work created by graphic designers.
ART279
As professionals, graphic designers combine aesthetic judgment with project management skills to develop overall communications strategies for their clients. When a design concept is decided upon, graphic designers work with illustrators, photographers, producers, editors, programmers and printers to complete a compelling design that communicates the client’s message effectively. Manual dexterity is essential. So is the ability to respond to visual problems in a positive, creative and logical manner. Good oral and written communication skills are important for understanding instructions and clearly communicating thoughts and concepts. Macintosh computer skills and fluency in all kinds of graphics software are required at all levels of employment. Graphic design students benefit from the use of the college’s newest Macintosh computer lab where they learn the latest image-editing, illustration, page layout, and web page design tools. As members of the larger Integrated Media Group, students will collaborate with television, radio and photography majors as they explore the relationship between words, images, sound, motion, time and space in a variety of digital media.

Nurses provide and manage care for individuals of all ages who have health concerns. They work independently and collaboratively with other health team members to meet patient needs and use scientific and humanistic principles of care. Registered nurses (RN) can independently assess, plan, implement, and evaluate basic health and nursing needs and therapies for persons whose health status is stable or unstable. The RN can delegate responsibilities and supervise auxiliary workers as manager of care. Employment opportunities in nursing are abundant in the Portland metropolitan area and throughout most of the state. Graduates from Mt. Hood Community College generally find employment within three months of graduation.

Television first came into America’s living rooms in the 1940s and moved swiftly to the top of the entertainment world. In the 1960s, powerful images of war changed forever the way we received our news and information. The space age took television equipment to the moon, which in turn moved us toward video production on a smaller scale. Video equipment that only a few years ago would have cost thousands and required an engineer to operate is now as accessible as the medium itself. The World Wide Web offers a glimpse at the next level of change and with this increasingly accessible technology has come a growing demand for people trained to develop media messages.

Associate of General Studies Degree
The purpose of the Degree in General Studies is to provide the student an opportunity to pursue a broad general education during the two years at a community college. It is intended as a flexible program for the student who is not pursuing a specified curriculum in the lower division transfer or professional-technical area. The general studies degree may, in addition to including the number of hours in the divisional areas as listed below, include courses in lower division collegiate transfer, occupational education, professional-technical education and general education. Because of the flexibility and broad approach of this degree, a student may find that it may not fulfill all of the requirements of full junior standing when transferred to a fouryear institution. The transferable credits generally include only those courses numbered 100 or above. Please refer to page 200, “Courses Numbered 100- 299”, for more information.
3. 4. 5.
The Associate of General Studies Degree will be awarded to students who satisfy the following requirements: 1. Complete a minimum of 90 applicable credit hours. 2. Successfully complete all required courses in the general studies curriculum as follows. Progression of classes must be vertical. That is, once a course has been successfully completed, a lower level course may not be taken for credit. Repeated courses may be counted only once toward graduation unless specified in the course description or unless specifically required in a program curriculum. Courses (except for electives) must be selected from a list of approved general education courses (see page 8). The list is available in the Admissions and Records Office, the Academic Advising and Transfer Center or from the program advisor.
6.
_A. Health and Physical Education A minimum of three credit hours which must include one class in Physical Education (PE) and one class in Health Education (HE). Other options: HPE295 Health and Fitness for Life, HPE291 Lifeguard Training, or PE285OL (3 credits) satisfies the total HPE requirement. A student successfully completing PE285OL Wilderness Survival for 2 credits may satisfy the HPE requirement by completing one additional credit in either health or physical education. Two (2) credit hours of PE185 credit may be granted toward an Associate degree at Mt. Hood for completion of military basic training. A copy of the DD214 form is required. B. Communications Six quarter credit hours at a level equivalent to WR101 and WR102; or WR121 and WR122; or three credits in writing and three credits in speech; or three credits in writing and RD117; or three credits in writing and BA205. C. Mathematics
F. Social Sciences 12 credit hours in social science. G. Science/Mathematics/Computer Science 9 credit hours in science or mathematics or computer science. (MTH20 and MTH40 are excluded and will not meet this requirement.) H. Complete the above requirements plus elective courses (no more than 25 credits of one discipline may apply as electives) to total 90 applicable credit hours. Elective courses may be any course number 10 or higher, not including those listed as Developmental Education courses, see page 200. A maximum of 25 credits of ENL courses, numbered 100 and above, may be applied toward the AGS degree. (ENL94R, ENL94S, and ENL94W are not to be included. See Developmental Education Courses.) Achieve a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher. Maintain a 2.00 GPA for all courses being applied toward the degree and maintain a 2.00 GPA in the core requirements (an average; not a “C” in every class). Satisfactorily earn a minimum of 24 hours of credit at Mt. Hood Community College and be in attendance at MHCC the term in which the degree is completed. Non-traditional credit (College Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement Program, Challenge, Experience-Based Credit, International Baccalaureate) does not satisfy this requirement. If extenuating circumstances prevent a student from being in attendance the last term, the student may petition to take the remaining credits (maximum of nine) at a regionally accredited college or university within one year from the date of last attendance at MHCC. This request must be in writing and indicate the school at which the courses will be completed. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain written approval from MHCC of course acceptance prior to enrollment and to send an official transcript to MHCC upon completion of the course work. Complete the application process and pay a non-refundable application fee two quarters prior to the quarter of completion (i.e., spring term graduates must apply during fall term). Note: The sequence of courses, UNST101, UNST102, UNST103, is an interdisciplinary alternative way for students to earn general education credits. It is designed for students who are intending to transfer to Portland State University and want to complete their freshman inquiry requirement. All three courses must be taken to satisfy the 15 credit requirement. Students who successfully complete will receive credit in writing, social science, science, and humanities.
Please see pages 7-9 for additional information on Associate of General Studies degree.
The Performing Arts
The special studies curricula at Mt. Hood Community College are designed to provide opportunities for students who wish to attain an optimum of self-development in the performing arts. The programs also provide a basis for those who may later wish to expand into more specialized areas. The special studies program is a two-year associate of General Studies degree program designed to provide students with the basic skills and techniques necessary for the development of their music or theatre interests. It differs from a transfer program in that the course requirements provide for breadth as well as an opportunity to concentrate in special interest areas. Specialized courses not otherwise available in a transfer program are included.
Three quarter credit hours at a level equivalent to MTH20 or higher (except MTH33, MTH34, MTH35). D. Human Relations Three quarter credit hours; refer to the general education course list below. E. Humanities (Arts and Letters) 12 credit hours in humanities (arts and letters) (maximum of six credit hours in skill oriented classes).
Students who plan to graduate from Mt. Hood Community College with this associate degree should fulfill all the requirements in one of the curricula. Provision for related electives adds flexibility to the

The special studies curricula are not intended to meet prerequisites or to be transferable to a four-year college. Any student who is planning to enroll in a special studies curriculum should understand thoroughly this situation and the intent of the special studies programs, and thus avoid possible disappointment later. Students who intend to earn a four-year degree in the arts should choose a college transfer program.

MHCC Courses on International Education Courses dealing with an international perspective give the student understanding of the world as a global community consisting of interdependent peoples and nations. Areas of concentration in Asian, European, or Latin American studies provide an opportunity to examine carefully a specific area of the world. These courses are valuable for students who are interested in international issues, in learning about life in countries other than the United States, in working for corporations with offices abroad, in the diplomatic service and other international careers or experiences. The following courses all emphasize an understanding not only of the United States, but also of other countries and cultures.

Mt. Hood Community College is an excellent starting place for students who wish to pursue a bachelor’s degree. MHCC students can complete all or most of the general education requirements for both public and private colleges and universities. In addition, MHCC’s transfer subject areas allow students to begin work on the requirements of their chosen majors. The advantages of starting a four-year program at MHCC include smaller classes, lower costs, instructors’ focus on teaching excellence, and the availability of courses for improvement of skills in reading, writing and mathematics.
Planning for Transfer Different colleges and universities have different general education and graduation requirements. Therefore, it is vital to plan ahead for transfer by reviewing catalogs and transfer advising guides for the various transfer schools. The MHCC Academic Advising and Transfer Center has information on colleges and universities and the degrees that they offer. Planning for transfer is an important part of one’s educational preparation. For example, some intended majors may require an early start on mathematics, or other courses. Certain majors include essential coursework at the sophomore level, so students may need to be attending their transfer schools after only one year at MHCC. Professional academic advisors, faculty advisors, and counselors are available to help students develop educational plans that will meet the requirements of their chosen majors and transfer schools.
Transfer Departments and Advisors Students can prepare for more than 60 transfer majors at MHCC! Those majors may lead toward hundreds of potential careers. The subject areas for transfer study are listed below. Advisors in major areas are assigned to assist students with appropriate educational planning, selection of transfer schools, and keeping updated on changing requirements and standards. Faculty advisors in the various major areas provide expertise to students majoring in their fields. Lists of advisors for all majors are updated annually. Students may contact the Academic Advising and Transfer Center or the college departments listed below for the names of advisors in their chosen majors.

Academic Advising and Transfer Center Many resources can be used to research potential transfer colleges, and to learn about their major programs and requirements. MHCC’s Transfer Center offers a wealth of such resources for student use. The center’s resources include a library of college catalogs, comprehensive college directories, and transfer advising guides for Oregon colleges and universities. View books and videos produced by various colleges are also available for students to review.

as the degree does not guarantee transferability of courses completed. Educational planning for the Associate of General Studies should be done with the help of an advisor or counselor.
Students may use the center’s computers to access Web pages for hundreds of colleges and universities. They can pick up current applications for many of Oregon’s public and private schools. Regular visits by transfer college representatives also enable MHCC students to make personal inquiries related to their transfer plans.
Direct Transfer Transfer without a degree from MHCC is also a viable option for MHCC students. Students in certain majors may need to transfer after one year in order to take advantage of critical major courses offered in the sophomore year. Or, a student may select a major and transfer school, then take only the specific courses required for that major and/or college. When a student opts for direct transfer, MHCC courses are evaluated and accepted on a course-by-course basis by the transfer school.
Transfer Days Each fall, winter and spring term, representatives from colleges and universities visit MHCC for Transfer Days. These conveniently scheduled and located “fairs” give students the opportunity to investigate several colleges at one time. Personal contact with college reps offers a chance to ask for detailed information about transfer subjects and procedures. For information on upcoming Transfer Days, students may contact the Academic Advising and Transfer Center in AC 2182, or call 503-491-7315.
Direct transfer students must meet the transfer schools’ Freshman or transfer admission requirements. Catalogs from transfer institutions contain information about credit-hour and grade point average requirements and transfer application procedures.
Associate of Arts-Oregon Transfer Degree This is a degree designed for students planning to complete an associate’s degree before transferring into a bachelor’s degree program at one of Oregon’s public universities (University of Oregon and Oregon State University; Eastern, Western, and Southern Oregon Universities; Portland State University; Oregon Institute of Technology). All of these universities accept the AA-OT as a “block transfer,” enabling a student to enter as a junior with all of the transfer school’s lower division general education requirements met. The AA-OT offers students the flexibility to choose courses that interest them and still meet requirements at their transfer schools (see the AA-OT degree requirements on pages ).
It is each student’s responsibility to learn the program requirements of any prospective transfer school, and to keep up to date on changes in those requirements. Therefore, students should periodically contact the Academic Advising and Transfer Center and/or the transfer schools for updates.
Successful Transfer Success in the transfer process is largely the result of careful planning and attention to the requirements of transfer colleges. Transfer success is a student’s individual responsibility. However, prudent use of available resources and advising can help to ensure smooth transition to a four-year institution. Students can benefit from following these tips for successful transfer: · Plan Ahead: Enroll in HD100: College Success and/or contact an advisor during your first term at MHCC to develop an education plan. If you need help with choosing a major or career, enroll in HD110 or HD208.
A limited number of private and out-of-state institutions also accept the AA-OT. These include Concordia University, Pacific University, Warner Pacific College, George Fox University and Marylhurst University in the Portland area, as well as Western Baptist College, BYU - Hawaii, Hawaii Pacific University, Boise State University, Seattle Pacific University, and Washington State University - Vancouver. Some of these schools have unique general education requirements that must also be met. Advisors and counselors can assist students planning for those courses.
· Maintain Contact: Establish early contact with admissions representatives and major advisors at MHCC and transfer colleges. Keep in touch with them in order to keep up to date on major and transfer requirements.
Associate of Science - Oregon Transfer - Business The AS/OT - Business is designed for business majors planning to transfer to a baccalaureate degree program at four-year institutions in the Oregon University System (OUS). It does not guarantee admission to the Business school/program of any OUS institution. Any student who holds the AS/OT - Business degree transferring to any institution in the Oregon University System, will have met the lower-division general education requirements for that institution’s baccalaureate degree programs. Students will also have junior standing for admission and registration purposes.
· Know the Rules: Pay attention to GPA and transfer credit policies, application deadlines and both general education and major course requirements of transfer schools. · Confirm Transferability of Courses: Not all 100-200 level courses transfer to all four-year schools. Transfer colleges have the “last say” on transferability. · Utilize Transfer Resources: This catalog, the Transfer Center, quarterly Transfer Days; and MHCC faculty advisors, academic advisors, and counselors are key sources of information and guidance.
Associate of Science The Associate of Science degree is designed for students who plan to transfer and complete a Bachelors of Science degree at a four-year institution. The degree requirements allow students more flexibility in course selection allowing them to focus on their discipline requirements. NOTE: Completion of this degree does not guarantee that all lower-division General Education requirements have been met for a baccalaureate degree (i.e., this is not a block transfer degree as is the AA/OT). In selecting courses for this degree, students are highly encouraged to consult the specific transfer curriculum pages in this catalog, the faculty advisor, and the institution to which they intend to transfer to determine if it is an appropriate choice.
· Ask for Help: Make sure you have current and complete information; ask for what you need to complete the transfer process successfully.
Transfer Hotline If a student has a problem transferring classes to a college or university, the student should first try to resolve the problem through contact with the transfer school. MHCC advisors and counselors may be of assistance in such cases. However, if after some effort such a problem cannot be resolved, the student may call the Transfer Problem Hotline at the Oregon Department of Education for help. The hotline number is 503-378-8609, ext 367.
The Associate of General Studies degree The Associate of General Studies degree may be a useful alternative for direct transfer students (see degree requirements on pages ). This flexible degree option enables a student to complete an associate’s degree that is tailored to the general education requirements of the transfer school. Students must exercise caution in using the AGS option,

If you want to be an elementary or secondary school teacher, you will be making a number of decisions: What age group do you want to teach? What subject do you want to teach? Will you transfer to a school with an undergraduate (four-year/Bachelors) or graduate (fifth year/Masters) teaching program? Which school do you want to transfer to? The answer to these questions will help determine the appropriate courses to take. MHCC offers a number of education courses to help you determine if teaching is really for you and prepare you for transfer to a four-year college or university. Two courses, ED200 and ED209A/B, are recommended for students who want to more fully explore the profession before beginning an educational program.

The courses listed below are designed for direct transfer to four-year colleges/universities and completion of them does not result in the awarding of an associate degree. Two MHCC History sequences, World Civilizations (HST110, HST111, and HST112) and United States History (HST201, HST202, and HST203) transfer directly to Oregon’s public universities as History credit. Each of these courses may be taken individually or as part of a sequence. All other MHCC History classes transfer as a social sciences distribution requirement or a social sciences elective. As transfer policies at four-year schools differ, it is vital to check with the transfer institution directly for specific information.

Each of the History courses on this page is offered at least once a year at Mt. Hood Community College, and several are available in an Independent Study format. “Not to know what happened before one was born,” said the Roman orator Cicero, “is always to remain a child.” Studying History moves you beyond childhood by systematically observing and documenting the past. The knowledge this study uncovers - and the process of uncovering and recording it - provides you with a wealth of skills useful in careers such as teaching history, founding and managing a business, practicing law, reporting the news, writing novels, directing movies, managing an archive or library or being President of the United States - and anything in between.

Statewide, Oregon’s two biggest trade partners are Japan (world’s second largest economy) and Canada (one-quarter French speaking). Other important Oregon customers and investors are Germany, France and Mexico. French is the world’s second most studied language. German is the second most prominent language in the global business world. Germany has the world’s third largest economy. Spanish is the second most spoken language in the United States, and the main language of 19 countries. All three are important heritage languages in the USA.

A Recognition of Completion, Outdoor Education, may be awarded to a student who completes the following courses. The courses are open to individuals interested in integrating outdoor education into their current work. A small sample of individuals utilizing outdoor education techniques in their professions include; school counselors, physical education teachers, scout and youth group leaders, community organizers and group-home recreation coordinators.
Physical education is the study of sport, athletics, exercise and fitness. Historically, the major has prepared students to be teachers of Physical Education. The field has now broadened significantly to include opportunities in health and nutrition, exercise science, sports medicine, sports psychology, wellness, and fitness management. The two-year course of study listed below is designed to meet the requirements of the Associates of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree and most closely aligns with four-year programs at Oregon State University, Portland State University, University of Oregon, Western Oregon University, Eastern Oregon University and Southern Oregon University.
Applications for completion of the non-transcripted, institutional award of attendance are available in the Health and Physical Education Divison (PE155).

Each of the Political Science courses on this page is offered at least once a year at Mt. Hood Community College, and some are available in an Independent Study format. So why study politics? Many students think political science is “dry” and “boring.” NOTHING could be further from the truth. Politics affects the way you think, eat, dress, socialize, and work, so it may be worth knowing about. Once you DO know about it you can begin to 1) understand what is going on around you, and 2) think for yourself. Here’s what students say: “I feel more powerful now knowing what I know”; “it changed my life”; “it was fun!”

Academic Regulations Admission to Limited and Restricted-Entry Programs
Student Progress Students in limited or restricted-entry programs are expected to complete the curriculum within the normal two-year period. However, a program may be extended given permission from the program faculty advisor. In such cases, the student will need to complete a “Petition for Change of Status” form. This forms outlines the details of the program extension agreement. Because of enrollment limitations, extending a program beyond two years must be on a space-available basis.
Applying These programs have additional steps for students to take before they are considered for admission. Students must apply within the time period prescribed annually by the Admissions and Records Office. Upon notice of acceptance into the program by the Admissions and Records Office, the applicant must indicate his/her intention to enroll by completing registration prior to an established deadline. Applications are for one academic year only. You must reapply each year if not selected. Admission to the college does not guarantee admission to a special program. See page 4 for a list of limited and restricted-entry programs.
If the student’s studies are interrupted by two or more years, or if the course of study extends beyond five years, degree requirements for graduation may have changed and the student may be asked to complete current requirements in order to earn the certificate or degree. Students who are unable to maintain satisfactory progress may, through a process of review, be removed from a program. This is especially true in regard to clinical education in which patient safety is involved.
Selection Process
Advanced Standing
Program personnel and a selection committee will review applicants who have satisfied the minimum selection criteria. Applicants will be selected for program admission or as alternates by one or more of the following methods. · College placement test scores
Students with previous training may be admitted to programs with advanced standing. This may be possible where students have partially completed similar programs at other institutions or where related one-year certificates have been completed. Examples include Licensed Practical Nurse or Certified Respiratory Therapist programs. The nursing program offers a special assessment for LPN applicants wishing to be given advanced standing toward an associate degree. Application materials for advanced placement consideration are available in the Admissions and Records Office. Acceptance is on a space-available basis.
· High school coursework · College coursework · Related job experience
Students seeking advanced placement into a limited or restricted-entry program should apply like other students. In the event they are offered admission the student will undergo a transcript evaluation to determine their advanced placement.
· Orientation/interview · Resume · Answers to supplemental questions · Prior application to the program
Registration and Attendance
· Employment experience · Residency · First priority consideration is given to applicants who reside in the MHCC district
Registration Adding a Class Adding a class is a formal change made by the student in the Admissions and Records Office or via Touch Tone or Web.
· Second priority is given to applicants who reside in the State of Oregon where there is no similar program offered. · Third priority is given to applicants who reside in the State of Oregon where similar programs are offered.
The last day to register or add a standard term-length class is normally the first Friday of instruction for classes that are open. The instructor’s signature is required after the first class has met for those classes that are closed. Mathematics, English composition, some chemistry, developmental education and computer classes require instructor’s signature during the first week. To register or add during the second week of instruction, the instructor’s signature is required for open and closed classes. Students will not be allowed to add after the 2nd week of instruction or the equivalent for non-standard term length classes. Check with the Admissions and Records Office for further clarification and the last day to register or add a non-standard term-length class.
· Fourth priority is given to out of state applicants where no similar program is offered.
Course Requirements The course requirements for MHCC programs are subject to change each academic year. For MHCC certificate/degree requirements, a student must follow the program requirements either for the year the student is officially admitted to the program or the year the student is completing the program.
Caution: Students should be aware that registering for classes after instruction has begun is detrimental to their learning. Also, any student entering a course late will be held responsible for all materials previously covered. Students are not guaranteed make-up privileges. Late add or registration may result in little or no refund period.
196
Dropping and Withdrawals
Waiting Lists Waiting lists are available only until a course begins. After classes begin, students must obtain an instructor’s signature for all closed and waitlisted courses. If, while on a waiting list, a seat becomes available, the student will officially be added to the class; therefore, the student is responsible for knowing his/her position on the waiting list or class list. If added to a class, students are responsible for any additional tuition and/or fees. Students will not be added to the class if it creates a schedule conflict or if the student is already registered in another section of the same course. If on multiple waiting lists for the same class, the student will be added to the first opening and dropped from all other waiting lists. Students must notify the Admissions and Records Office immediately if they no longer want to be on the waiting list.
Dropping a Class Standard term-length classes dropped within the first two weeks will not appear on the transcript. If a student drops or withdraws after the two-week period, a “W” grade will be assigned. Non-attendance is not a basis for a refund or nonpayment of tuition. Registration constitutes liability unless a formal drop or withdrawal is processed within the refund period through the Admissions and Records Office. The refund date for each class is printed on the student class schedule. Please note: The refund date for single weekend computer courses is the Wednesday before the course begins.
Only officially registered students may attend classes. Students whose names do not appear on the instructor’s class list are not officially registered and will not receive credit or grades.
A student may drop any standard-length class through the Friday of the seventh week of instruction. Check with the Admissions and Records Office for the last day to drop nonstandard-length classes.
Open Entry/Open Exit. All registration for open entry/open exit classes closes two weeks prior to the end of the term. At that time registration for open entry/open exit classes will be recorded for the following term.
Students signing a deferment of funds are still liable even if the aid is denied unless they withdraw in writing in the Admissions and Records Office within the refund period.
Withdrawing From College
Attendance
Formal withdrawal from the college is defined as dropping ALL classes. Students have the option to withdraw from college through the last day of instruction but before final exams. The withdrawal must be processed and received by the Admissions and Records Office in one of the following ways: in-person, mail, Touch Tone, Web or by telephone at 503-491-7393. Refunds and grades are determined according to regulations printed in the quarterly schedule.
Students are responsible for their attendance in courses for which they are enrolled. See specific course syllabus for each course attendance requirements. IMPORTANT
No-Show Drop Procedure Students should be aware that mandatory attendance the first week of classes is required for some classes. Also, students who do not attend class during the first four weeks of class (or the equivalent for non-standard length courses) may be dropped at the discretion of the instructor. However, non-attendance does not guarantee that you will be dropped from your classes. A failing grade may result based on non-attendance. It is the student’s responsibility to process a drop or withdrawal in the Admissions and Records Office or by Touch Tone or Web for classes they do not want.
If a student withdraws from college within the first two weeks of the term or the equivalent, the classes will not appear on the transcript. If a student withdraws from college after the second week of the term, the classes with a grade of “W” will appear on the transcript. However, any grade earned to date in nonstandard term-length or mini-term classes will remain, and the “W” grade will be assigned only to classes not yet completed. Students who merely stop attending classes without formally withdrawing will receive the grades assigned by their instructors and will not receive a refund of tuition and fees.
Absences Absence due to serious illness may be excused. However, students who miss classes lose some of the content of the course. Being excused does not excuse students from the work covered during absences.
Please note: The refund date for single weekend computer courses is the Wednesday before the course begins. Students are advised to consult their instructors prior to withdrawal.
Students are not automatically excused from other classes to attend field trips or intercollegiate functions. When schedule conflicts occur because of field trips, students should notify instructors of classes to be missed and, in cooperation with that instructor, make arrangements for completing the work missed. In case of an unsolvable conflict, students will not be penalized for missing the class or the field trip, whichever the case may be. Students whose absences are due to participation in intercollegiate functions and other co-curricular trips arranged by the college will be excused from class attendance but not from the responsibility for the work that they may miss during their absence for approved functions.
Students receiving veterans’ benefits also must notify the veterans’ clerk of intention to withdraw. Failure to do so may result in overpayment which will need to be returned to the Veterans Administration. Students receiving financial aid also must notify the financial aid office of their intention to withdraw.

Transfer Credits Transferring from MHCC: Transfer students are responsible for determining the requirements of the institution and program to which they plan to transfer. Transferring to MHCC: Mt. Hood Community College accepts college-level credits earned in academic certificate and degree programs from colleges and universities accredited by regional accrediting associations and with an “AG” symbol for credit acceptance as indicated in Transfer Credit Practices of Selected Educational Institutions. Students must request a transcript evaluation from the Admissions and Records Office if transfer courses are to be applied toward an MHCC certificate or degree. This evaluation will not be done until the student has enrolled in classes at Mt. Hood Community College and is not official until a graduation application has been processed. Upon completion of the certificate or degree program, the transfer credits applied will be recorded on the MHCC student transcript. Students should send official transcripts to the Admissions and Records Office. Transfer course work from foreign institutions will be evaluated in accordance with the institutions and policies listed in Transfer Credit Practices. Coursework must be considered to be at a post-secondary level, have comparable MHCC accreditation status and be parallel in content to MHCC coursework.

Alternative Ways to Earn College Credit:
Credit for trade or industrial experience and training will be granted upon completion and recommendation by the appropriate local training committee. College fees for the degree assessed at the time of application will be based upon three conditions: 1) Number of credits recommended by appropriate local training committee; 2) Current college fee per college credit; 3) Number of credits previously paid for.
Non-Traditional Credit A maximum of 45 non-traditional credits can be applied toward an MHCC degree. The college provides a number of ways a student may earn credit toward a degree or certificate in addition to classroom experience: APP (Advanced Placement Program) CHALLENGE, CLEP (College Level Examination Program), Credit for Prior Learning, International Baccalaureate, and High School Dual Credit. The office of Admissions and Records and the Academic Advising and Transfer Center can provide interested students with procedures.
Dual Credit – Early Collegiate Opportunity/2+2 High School Plus is Mt. Hood Community College’s Dual Credit program. MHCC, in cooperation with MHCC district high schools, offers high school students the opportunity to earn MHCC college credit while enrolled in high school. Credits can be earned in both lower-division college transfer courses (ECO) and professional-technical courses (2+2). The procedure for earning credit may be through completion of course standards as approved by MHCC instructional staff or as detailed in program articulation agreements. Earned credit will be transcripted on the MHCC permanent record. Earning MHCC credit at district high schools does not automatically enroll a person in a MHCC certificate or degree program. MHCC admissions procedures and requirements must still be met.
Advanced Placement Program (APP). High school seniors who participate in the College Entrance Examination Board’s Advanced Placement Program may seek advanced placement in a variety of disciplines. An entering freshman who has taken the APP tests should have the results sent to the Admissions and Records Office. Advanced placement and/or college credit may be granted upon recommendation of the appropriate Division Dean. Credit may be granted only after the student has earned 12 or more credit hours at MHCC. The office of Admissions and Records and the Academic Advising and Transfer Center can provide interested students with procedures.
A list of courses approved to earn MHCC credit during high school is available in each high school’s counseling office or the MHCC Regional Consortium Office. The list of High School Plus approved courses varies among high schools.
Challenge. Students who believe that they have the knowledge and skills from life experience, industry training or professional certification, may request to challenge a course by petition or by an examination in lieu of class attendance. (Laboratory classes may be challenged with the approval of the Division Dean.) Successful challenge results in grade and credit on the MHCC permanent record identified as credit for challenge. Credit may be granted only after the student has earned 12 or more credit hours at MHCC. The office of Admissions and Records and the Academic Advising and Transfer Center can provide interested students with procedures. A student may not drop or withdraw from a challenge.
Grades
Grades are not mailed. They are available on the MHCC website at http://www.mhcc.edu/admissions/online_students/main.htm. Your user name is your MHCC ID number.
Financial aid recipients CANNOT use financial aid dollars to “challenge” classes. Please check with the Office of Financial Aid.
Grade Point Average
College Level Examination Program (CLEP). MHCC is an official CLEP testing center. Students enrolled at MHCC may receive credit for certain college courses by submitting official scores from the College Level Entrance Examination Program (CLEP). CLEP credit is not given for general exams of English and math. Credit may be granted only after the student has earned 12 or more credit hours at MHCC. Successful CLEP exam results in grade and credit on the MHCC permanent record identified as CLEP. The office of Admissions and Records and the Testing Center can provide interested students with procedures.
A B C D F U
Excellent: 4 points for each credit hour Above Average: 3 points for each credit hour Average: 2 points for each credit hour Below Average: 1 point for each credit hour Failing: 0 points for each credit hour Unsatisfactory: 0 points per credit hour
The following are not included in GPA calculations: S I K X W NR
International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program is a demanding pre-college course of study that leads to examinations. MHCC awards credit to students who receive a five or higher on any Higher Level IB exam. College credit can be earned in English Composition, first and second year foreign language, history, economics, geography, psychology, biology, physics, chemistry, theatre arts and general electives. A complete list of MHCC courses satisfied by international baccalaureate examinations is available from the Admissions and Records Office. Students must indicate that they would like official IB test scores sent to MHCC Admissions and Records Office. Credit may be granted only after the student has earned 12 or more credit hours at MHCC.
Satisfactory: 0 points per credit hour Incomplete: 0 points per credit hour Continuing Progress: 0 points per credit hour Audit: 0 points per credit hour Withdrawal: 0 points per credit hour Not received from instructor
MHCC computes GPA using the 4-point system and by dividing the total grade points by the total quality credits. Grades are assigned based on work completed at the end of the scheduled class time. Additional work or make-up after the ending date of the class is not justified unless an Incomplete was assigned.
Credit for Prior Learning (Sheet Metal Technology and Trade and Industrial Technology only):
Grades and/or records found to be fraudulent will be changed.
201
Incompletes A student may be assigned an “I” (Incomplete) when insufficient work to justify a grade has been done by the student due to excusable reasons. Though individual circumstances may warrant unique decisions, it is commonly expected that the student will have completed at least 75 percent of the course requirements.
Student Academic Standing President’s Honor Roll
Incompletes are to be made up prior to the end of the following term unless the student is no longer enrolled. Under these circumstances, the work must be made up in the term of the return with only a fourquarter maximum (including summer) permitted. Incompletes not made up within these timelines do not automatically revert to a grade. They remain an “I,” unless changed by the instructor.
Students who achieve a term grade point average of 3.85 or above with a minimum of 12 credit hours will be listed on the President’s Honor Roll for that quarter.
Vice President’s Honor Roll Students who achieve a term grade point average of 3.65 to 3.84 inclusive with a minimum of 12 credit hours will be listed on the Vice President’s Honor Roll for that quarter.
K Grade A “K” (continuing progress) indicates that a student was registered for the course, was in attendance, met some of the objectives but did not advance far enough to receive credit for completion. This grade designation is limited to developmental education courses and to open entry/open exit courses (where the student is permitted to proceed at one’s own pace). A student who receives a “K” grade must reregister, repay, and pass the class satisfactorily to receive credit. The K grade remains on the transcript. A student completing a developmental education course may receive a “K’ grade up to two times for the same course and may only take the course a third time with the recommendation of the developmental education instructor and the Associate Vice President of Career Development and Enrollment Services. Note: Students attempting a course for a third time who are receiving financial aid, veterans’ benefits or athletic eligibility must reregister for these credits above and beyond the hours necessary to maintain benefits.
Vice President’s Part-time Honor Roll Students who achieve a term grade point average of 3.65 or higher with a minimum of 6 to 11 credit hours will be listed on the Vice President’s Part-time Honor Roll for that quarter. Students must start out as a parttime student and are not eligible for this honor roll if they start out as a full-time student and drop their status to below full-time.
Phi Theta Kappa Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society for two-year colleges. Rho Theta is the Mt. Hood Community College chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. To enter Rho Theta, a student must have achieved at least a 3.5 term GPA while taking six or more credits per term toward an associate’s degree and have accumulated a total of 12 credits at Mt. Hood. A student must also maintain at least a 3.0 accumulative GPA. Additional information and application forms are available at the College Center desk.
Pass/Fail Option Certain courses offer the student an option to receive a grade of S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) instead of letter grade (A, B, C, D, or F). This option must be exercised at the time of registration or no later than the end of the seventh week of instruction for standard term-length classes. Check with the Admissions and Records Office for last day to change grading status for nonstandard term-length classes.
Standard of Academic Progress To assist students with accomplishing academic goals, the college supports the process of reviewing the academic progress of all students attempting 9 or more credits per term. Academic progress is defined as achieving a term grade point average (GPA) of 2.00.
S Grade
The Purpose of the Standard
For evaluation and transferability purposes, the S grade is equivalent to a grade of C or better.
To assist each student with accomplishing his/her educational goal by: · Alerting the student and the college of academic difficulties or deficiencies.
Audit Option Students electing to audit a class (no grade, no credit) must choose this option at the time of registration or no later than the end of the seventh week of instruction for standard term-length classes. Check with the Admissions and Records Office for last day to change grading status for nonstandard term-length classes. Auditing students pay in accordance with the tuition schedule and participate to a degree determined by them and the instructor.
· Providing the opportunity for the college to be of greater assistance to the student in setting and achieving academic goals. · Assisting the student in utilizing the facilities and personnel of the college. · Creating an atmosphere in which the student may become successful in his/her pursuit of an education.
Grade Point Average Adjustment
Academic Review and Referral
A student may petition for a grade point average adjustment when a course has been repeated for a higher grade. Both courses must have been taken at Mt. Hood Community College and the initial course must have been completed spring term 1985 or later. Only one petition per course will be accepted. A course previously passed, when repeated, does not count toward graduation. For GPA adjustments processed on courses transcripted prior to SU96, both the term and cumulative GPA are adjusted. For GPA adjustments processed on courses transcripted SU96 or after, only the cumulative GPA is adjusted. Since some colleges count all grades in computing the GPA, a student should be aware that this possibility exists should the student transfer. See the Admissions and Records Office for more information.
At the end of each term, the college reviews the grade point average achieved by each student enrolled in 9 or more credits. If a student’s term GPA falls below 2.00, the student is notified of their academic status and referred to the Academic Advising and Transfer Center for academic assistance. The following statuses can be assigned: 1. Warning 2. Probation 3. Suspension See below for further details.

Graduation Process
4. The graduation application fee is to be paid in the business office and a copy of the receipt attached to the graduation application.
1. Students desiring to earn a degree or certificate from Mt. Hood Community College must process the graduation application with the Admissions and Records Office two quarters prior to the quarter of completion (e.g., spring term graduates must apply during fall term). Spring and summer graduates not participating in commencement ceremonies must notify the Admissions and Records Office in writing on the graduation application in order to receive their degree cover in the mail. This also allows seat-planning arrangements to be made more efficiently. Fall term and winter term graduates may participate in the following commencement if they wish, and are requested to so indicate on the graduation application.
5. Credits from accredited colleges or universities previously attended that are to apply toward a MHCC degree or certificate must be submitted via official transcripts and be on file in the Admissions and Records Office. 6. The Admissions and Records Office will evaluate the application and notify the student by mail with an evaluation of progress (part II of the graduation application). Students should complete part II of the graduation application with their advisor and return one copy to the Admissions and Records Office. The student will be notified by mail of any deficiencies.
2. Students have the choice of following the catalog of the year they began the program or the year they are ending the program but NOT a combination. Students admitted to a degree program are expected to complete the curriculum within the normal two-year period. If the student’s studies are interrupted by two years or more, or if the course of study extends beyond five years, degree requirements for graduation may have changed. In order to then earn the certificate or degree, the student may be asked to complete current requirements, or have equivalent coursework substitutions.
7. Final approval of the application for a degree or certificate is given only after grades have been posted for the last quarter’s work. Degrees or certificates are mailed to students following this process. Graduation from Mt. Hood Community College makes one an automatic alumnus and eligible for membership in the alumni association. Note: Incomplete applications for graduation will remain in the Admissions and Records Office for a period of one year from the last term of attendance or one year from date of application. After that time, your application will be destroyed and you will need to re-apply for graduation. All approvals necessary for a catalog exception must be completed prior to the term the required course or replacement course is offered.
3. Students should secure their graduation application forms from the Admissions and Records Office, complete the application and return it to the Admissions and Records Office two academic terms prior to the anticipated completion of their degree.

Veterans’ Services
NOTE: Veterans must notify the VA specialist of any changes in their enrollment status (adds, drops, etc.) in addition to processing through the registration office. Failure to do so may result in overpayment of benefits.
503-491-7346, Room AC 2250 http://www.mhcc.edu/admissions The Office of Veterans’ Services, located in the Admissions and Records Office on the main campus, provides a one-stop, centrally located area for students to deal with veteran-related problems and access veterans services.
Two (2) credit hours of PE185 credit may be granted toward an Associate degree at Mt. Hood for completion of military basic training. A copy of the DD214 form is required.
The office handles VA educational paperwork, changes in program, address, dependency status and problems with late or inappropriate benefit checks. The office also can refer students to agencies specializing in discharge upgrading, military-related problems and psychological and drug counseling. Eligible students should contact the veterans’ clerk for certification. The Veterans Administration Regional Office keeps a central file on each person receiving benefits and the college must first process all enrollment information before any award is made.
Students who are also Veterans are subject to not only the College’s Standards of Academic Progress (see Standards of Academic Progress in this catalog) but also the Veterans’ Administration Satisfactory Progress Standards. A detailed list of expectations and requirements is available in the Veterans Office.
Satisfactory Progress Standards for Veterans
Deferred Tuition. Initiating VA educational benefit checks generally takes six to eight weeks. Because of this, many veterans are unable to pay tuition at the time of registration. The veterans’ clerk must sign a note stating that the veteran will be receiving benefits and tuition will be deferred. This note is an I. O. U. between the individual and the Business Office to register for and attend classes, and pay tuition once the VA check comes.
The veterans’ office continually audits the transcripts of each student receiving VA benefits to ensure that the veteran’s work leads toward the stated degree. Any class or grade which does not lead toward that degree will not apply to VA benefits. Veterans registering for classes which meet for less than the standard 10-11 week session will be certified by the number of credits for the class and paid accordingly.
Tutorial Assistance. Veterans and dependents needing extra help with class work, who are unable to receive tutoring through the Independent Study Center, may have the cost of hiring a tutor reimbursed by the VA.

Release of Student Information Disclosure Statement
All complaints of alleged harassment or discrimination are taken seriously and will be investigated. Students may seek immediate assistance from an instructor, counselor, staff supervisor or the Executive Dean of Student Development and Services 503 491-7317.
The following information is provided to inform you of your privacy rights and the college’s responsibilities with regard to your directory information and educational records. The college follows all applicable state and federal laws and is committed to preserving the confidentiality of your records. You have three decisions to make: 1. Do you want the college to release limited directory information about you to anyone requesting? (This means that MHCC will verify if you are currently enrolled — see Directory Information below for details.) If yes, you do not need to do anything. If you have concerns about release of limited directory information, see instructions below for requesting that this information not be released.
Crime Awareness and Campus Security Safety at Mt. Hood Community College is a priority. Students, staff and faculty are partners with the College in creating environments that are safe and support learning. The Campus Security Act of 1990 requires all colleges to publicize campus crime statistics and security measures. Specific information is available on the college website at www.mhcc. edu/academics/student_services/campus_security.htm and is available through the Office of the Executive Dean of Student Development and Services and the Admissions and Registration Office. Direct questions to the Vice President at 503-491-7317.
2. Do you object to the college releasing your name, address, telephone number and certain other information to military recruiters as required under the Solomon Amendment? If you request that this information not be released, MHCC will not release to military recruiters or other parties except as specified in this notification or upon written permission from you. If you decide that you do not want directory or Solomon information released, you must complete the form, Request to Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information, available in the Admissions & Records Office.
Student Code of Conduct Students enrolling at Mt. Hood Community College assume a responsibility to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with the college’s function as an educational institution. Although MHCC is dedicated to an open, free society, there are actions inappropriate in an institution of higher education. Incompatible actions are defined through the Student Code of Conduct which also outlines information on student disciplinary procedures. To obtain a copy of the code, contact the Office of the Executive Dean of Student Development and Services (503-491-7317), the Associated Student Government Office in the College Center, or the MHCC website at www.mhcc.edu/academics/student_services/ssdocs/ Code_of_Conduct.htm.
3. Do you object to the college using and releasing your Social Security Number (SSN) for state reporting and other related activities? This includes release of your SSN to the Internal Revenue Service so that you may take advantage of benefits under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, which includes a tax credit on tuition and eligible fees and/or interest deduction on outstanding educational loans. Again, at the time of registration, you will be given the opportunity to request that your SSN not be used or released. Please review the following Release of Information policy and decide your answer to the three previous questions.
Student Right-To-Know The Student Right-To-Know Act of 1990 requires each postsecondary institution receiving federal funds to inform prospective students and current students of the graduation rate of its students. For schools

Release of Information
Disclosure of education records is now allowed when a court approves an application submitted by an Assistant U.S. Attorney General (or higher-ranking federal officer) that contains “specific and articulable facts” that the education records are relevant to the investigation of or prosecution of terrorism. FERPA was amended to allow such disclosure by Section 507 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act, signed by President Bush on October 26, 2001.
Educational Records Policy The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights regarding their education records. They are: · The right to inspect and review the student’s records. The student may request to review his/her records by submitting a written request to the Office of Admissions and Records or other school official having custody of such records;
Directory Information for use within the college is permitted in accordance with FERPA guidelines; however, disclosure within the college does not constitute institutional authorization to transmit, share, or disclose any or all information received to a third party.
· The right to seek amendment of the student’s records that the student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights. Requests for amendment of records must be in writing and must describe the specific portions or specific record(s) the student wishes to have amended, text or instructions as to the change desired, and the reasons why the change is justified;
What it means to restrict information When you restrict the release of directory information, the above information will not be released.
· The right to consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except for when consent is not required by FERPA. FERPA does not require a student’s consent when disclosure is to other school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the college in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position; a person or company with whom the college has contracted or appointed as its agent; or a student serving on an official committee or assisting another school official in performing the official’s tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his/her professional responsibilities. FERPA also allows colleges to disclose a student’s directory information without consent, but the student may request that his/her directory information not be released. If the student wishes to make such a request, he/she must do so according to procedures outlined in Directory Information Restriction (see below).
You will be required to present photo identification or personal identification number (PIN) when you wish to inquire about your own academic or registration history. Information will not be provided to anyone, including persons who claim to be you, parents, relatives, friends, other students, or prospective employers, who may wish to contact you or verify your status at the college, without written authorization from you. Restricted directory information is made available where an emergency is involved, at the direction of a subpoena or court order, to MHCC staff and faculty with a legitimate educational need to know, or in other limited situations described in this notification.
Where and when to make your Directory Restriction request A Request to Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information form is available in the Admissions and Records Office.

MHCC Philosophy of General Education
· Providing learner support.
Mt. Hood Community College holds that general education should accomplish two major objectives. One of these objectives is to provide students with knowledge that will help them attain their full potential as informed and responsible members of society. General education courses offer knowledge that enables students to communicate effectively, to
213
explain relationships among societies, to articulate what it is to be human, to develop artistic expression, to analyze the natural world, and to make informed decisions about physical and mental health. A second purpose of general education is to equip students with the mental skills they must possess if they are to learn independently. Mental skills such as listening, speaking, writing, computing, analyzing, synthesizing and deliberating logically will enable students to learn on their own throughout their lives.
In addition, these Professional Technical programs are accredited by the following accrediting associations: Automotive: NATEF (National Automotive Technician Education Foundation) Aviation Professional Pilot: Training approved by Federal Aviation Administration Dental Hygiene: Commission on Dental Accreditation, American Dental Association Early Childhood Education: National Academy of Early Childhood Programs Funeral Service Education: American Board of Funeral Service Education Medical Assistant: American Association of Medical Assistants Nursing: National League for Nursing Physical Therapy Assistant: Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education Surgical Technology: Accreditation Review Committee on Education in Surgical Technology Respiratory Care: Joint Review Committee for Respiratory Therapy Education Welding: AWS (American Welding Society)
Mt. Hood Community College intends that students who complete general education classes in the various categories listed below shall possess the kinds of knowledge and the kinds of mental skills essential if they are to develop their potential as individuals and as citizens. General education requirements are aimed at conveying to students the knowledge that each person is valuable and that communities of people are valuable. They are designed to prepare students to promote their own personal well being and that of society. A core of general education instruction permeates each of the college’s four degrees (AAS, AGS, AA-OT and AS) and all certificates, offering students many opportunities to acquire the knowledge and mental skills they must possess to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens. The core of general education instruction falls into the following five major categories:
District COMMUNICATION: Communication courses develop the student’s ability to read, write, listen and speak effectively in formal and informal situations, in the workplace and at home. They develop, furthermore, the student’s ability to analyze and interpret spoken and written discourse.
The district comprises an area of approximately 950 square miles with a population of over 216,000. The district lies adjacent to the eastern boundary of the city of Portland and is bounded on the north by the Columbia River. It includes all of Multnomah County east of Portland School District Number 1, the area of Sandy Union High School District and Gresham Union High School District in Clackamas County and the area of the Port of Cascade Locks in Hood River County. The majority of the population in the district is concentrated in the western portion.
HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION: Health and Physical Education courses are designed to enable students to enjoy the personal benefits of physical activity and healthy life-styles. Activity classes develop foundation skills for lifelong participation in physical activities. Health classes equip students to make healthful living choices.
History
THE HUMANITIES: Studying the humanities instills in students the ability to articulate what it is to be human. Students learn to recognize, for example, fundamental characteristics of humankind and to articulate enduring human concerns. Humanities courses at MHCC include philosophy, languages, literature, and the visual and performing arts.
Mt. Hood Community College opened in 1966 and now enrolls nearly 30,000 students each year. Classes are offered at the 200-acre main campus in Gresham, the MHCC Maywood Park Campus, and evening education centers at district public schools. The college is financed by local property tax funds, state reimbursement funds and student tuition. Local voters established the college tax base in 1968 and approved tax base increases in 1970 and 1980. The college has developed an ongoing partnership with business and industry to meet the needs of a current and future workforce.
MATHEMATICS; SCIENCE; COMPUTER SCIENCE: These courses enable students to explore, describe and apply the different types of functions, processes, natural laws and relationships that exist in the world. Mathematics, life sciences, physical sciences and computer sciences fall into this category. THE SOCIAL SCIENCES: The social sciences help equip students to interact effectively in relationships with others, understand an individual’s role in a given society, and analyze and explain the relationship of one society to another, past and present. The social sciences also enable students to comprehend and describe the significant forces and factors that have helped shape the many facets of human history and contemporary society.
Board members are elected to four-year terms, meet the second Wednesday night of each month and serve without pay. The first president of the college was Dr. Earl Klapstein. He served until 1976 and was followed by Dr. R. Stephen Nicholson until November 1985. Dr. Paul E. Kreider served as president from February 1986 to June 1996. Dr. Joel E. Vela became the college’s fourth president in 1996 and served through September of 2000. The college is currently under the direction of Dr. Robert Silverman.
