For the purposes of financial aid eligibility, “underage” students are not “regular” students and are therefore not aid eligible. Regular students are defined as degree seeking students. Students concurrently enrolled in high school and MHCC are by federal regulation ineligible for financial aid. If a student is age 16 or older, has been released from compulsory high school attendance, and has completed a GED and/or completes the College Placement Test to meet the “Ability to Benefit” requirements, they may be aid eligible. The Office of Financial Aid will make the final determination of aid eligibility status based on documentation provided by the student.

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
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.
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. The Financial Aid office must be notified of official transcripts already submitted to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office.
Step 5. Register for Classes
Aid Disbursement
Admissions, Registration and Records Office/Student Services Center Room AC 2253 503-491-7393 www.mhcc.edu/admissions/registration
After the student accepts their financial aid award, it is posted to their account (except bank loans) and will be used directly to pay their tuition and fees. Any remaining aid will be disbursed as a check that can be used to buy books, pay for room and board, transportation and miscellaneous supplies and personal items.
Registration is available for currently enrolled, returning and new students via Touch Tone, Web, and in person as explained in our quarterly schedule of classes. Mail in registration is accepted for Continuing Education courses only.
Step 3. Visit the Testing/ Assessment Center Testing Services 503-491-7678
The quarterly schedule of classes is mailed to all in-district residents and is available on our campus and on the MHCC web site at www.mhcc.edu.
Room AC 2335 www.mhcc.edu/academics/advising/testing
Please use the following checklist to review required steps prior to registration: ❑ Complete the Student Admission Form and submit it to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office.
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 reading, English composition, mathematics or chemistry; or selected courses in engineering technology.
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, Registration 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, chemistry courses, or selected courses in engineering technology.
❑ Complete an education plan by meeting with a staff member in the Academic Advising and Transfer Center or a faculty advisor. ❑ Review a current schedule of classes to select courses and to learn policies, procedures and important dates. Including registration dates and refund dates.
Step 4. Talk to an Advisor
❑ Complete a registration form or Touch Tone or web worksheet with the courses you have selected.
Academic Advising and Transfer Center Room AC 2253 503- 491-7315 www.mhcc.edu/academics/advising
❑ 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 should complete the on-line orientation, www.mhcc.edu/orientation. Students may complete the on-line orientation in the Testing Center, the Academic Advising and Transfer Center, or from their home computer. The orientation provides students with key information about the college, degree options, and the registration process.
❑ 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, Registration and Records Office. Please see the Academic Regulations section of this catalog for important information regarding adding, dropping, withdrawal from school, waiting lists, attendance and no-show drop policy.
Once orientation is completed, new students will work with an academic advisor to create a schedule of classes.

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 195-197 of this catalog. They include: • Types of Fees • Definition of Terms
Business Office – Student Billing Accounts Receivable Room AC 2253 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
• Billing and Collection 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 1152 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 accepted after the second Friday of the term. 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 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 2253.
3. Financial Aid/Scholarship 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 asking for help. The Learning Assistance Center (LAC) provides a wide array of services, including tutoring and learning strategies workshops to 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 or the Office of the Executive Dean of Student Development and Services (Room AC2369) at 503-491-7317. They will be able to refer you to an appropriate source.
College Services paid for by check will be provided two weeks after payment occurs. An example of services include official transcript requests, awarding of degrees and certificates, catalog purchases, and GED testing; but does not apply to tuition payment.

2. Successfully complete all required courses in a professional-technical curriculum 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.
3. Communications 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.
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.
6. Satisfactorily earn a minimum of 24 hours of applicable credit at Mt. Hood Community College and be in attendance at MHCC the term in which the degree/certificate is completed. Non-traditional credit (College Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement Program, Challenge, Experienced-Based Credit, International Baccalaureate) does not satisfy this requirement.
4. Maintain a 2.00 GPA for all courses being applied toward the degree and maintain a 2.00 GPA in the candidate’s major classes (e.g., course prefixes such as DH, EET, NUR, etc.) 5. Successfully complete required general education courses.

If the general education requirements are listed specifically by course, i.e. SP111, PSY201, then those specific requirements must be listed on the incoming transcript in order for those courses to be satisfied. WR101, WR102, WR121, WR122, HPE295, PE185 and HE250 will automatically be satisfied by the baccalaureate degree.
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. 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 coursework. 7. Complete the application process and pay a nonrefundable graduation application fee two quarters prior to the quarter of completion (e.g., spring term graduates must apply during fall term).
General Education Courses must be selected from the approved list of General Education courses for the Associate of Applied Science Degree, (see page 9). A. Health/Physical Education A minimum of three credits in Physical Education (PE) and/or in Health Education (HE/HPE). A maximum of 9 credits of PE185 may be applied to the AAS degree.

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, and professional-technical 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 four-year institution. The transferable credits generally include only those courses numbered 100 or above. Please refer to page 197, “Courses Numbered 100-299,” for more information.
C. Mathematics Three quarter-credit hours at a level equivalent to MTH65 or higher (except MTH211). (MTH34 and MTH35, in combination, are accepted for Automotive, Machine Tool Technology, Welding and Apprenticeship AAS degrees for 2005-06 only.)

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 197, “Courses Numbered 100-299,” for more information.
* Each course must be at least three credits. ** 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 all three will receive credit in writing, social science, science, and humanities.
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 #6 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.
6. 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.
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.

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 …………………………Call 503-491-7666 Certified Travel Counselor …………………………Call 503-491-7666 Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) ………………Call 503-491-7113 Nursing Assistant …………………………………Call 503-491-7113 Phlebotomy ………………………………………Call 503-491-7506 R.N. Surgical Orientation …………………………Call 503-491-7179 R.N. Reentry to Practice ……………………………Call 503-491-7406
Apprenticeship Mt. Hood Community College works in cooperation with the State Apprenticeship Council and the following Apprenticeship Training Committees: Boeing/IAM ………………………………………… 503-563-0304 Brickmasons/Tilesetters ……………………………… 503-234-3781 Cement Masons ……………………………………… 503-408-8555 Central Electrical ……………………………………… 541-917-6199 Glaziers, Architectural Metal and Glass Workers ………………………………… 503-255-3920 Ironworkers ………………………………………… 503-775-0877 Pacific Inside Electrical ……………………………… 541-756-6997 Plasterers ………………………………………… 503-232-3257 Plumbers/Fitters and Marine Metal Trades ………… 503-691-1997 Roofers and Waterproofers …………………………… 503-232-4807 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. 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 related and/or approved electives as part of the curriculum may require approval from the adviser to take such courses PRIOR to registration.
Recognition of Completion
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 Faculty Advisor, Wendall Johnson at 503-491-7217.
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. see page Automotive Technology Computer Numerical Control …………………………………… 41 Instructional Assistant ………………………………………… 76 Journalism ……………………………………………………… 86 Legal Administrative Assistant ………………………………… 54 Machine Tool Operator ………………………………………… 42 Medical Billing Specialist/Claims Analyst ……………………… 45 Medical Office Coding …………………………………………… 45 Medical Receptionist …………………………………………… 44 Outdoor Education ……………………………………………… 91 Welding Technology …………………………………………… 61
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.

Accounting Clerk
A career in accounting is for people with above-average mathematical and analytical skills who have good communication skills and want to work in a business environment. Today, more than ever, the accountant/bookkeeper must be a team player. Interacting and working in small groups is encouraged and developed in many of the courses in the accounting programs. Computer skills are also developed throughout the programs and incorporated into courses whenever appropriate.

First Quarter (Fall) BA101 BA131 BA211 BT11S
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 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.

Completion of the one-year program will enable you to help managers use accounting information when making decisions. You will also gain experience in recording accounting transactions which are encountered less frequently and make recommendations when there are reporting options. Your ability to use a commercial accounting software package and apply electronic spreadsheets to various accounting situations will enable you to be efficient as well as knowledgeable.
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. 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 a two-year degree. Students wanting to pursue a two-year degree must talk to a faculty advisor.
Students interested in pursuing an AAS may select the Business Management - Accounting option, see page 24.

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 Business Management - Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management. 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.

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 (RNs) 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 is expected to delegate responsibilities and supervise auxiliary workers as manager of care. Employment opportunities in nursing are available in the Portland metropolitan area and throughout most of the state. Graduates from Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) 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.

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, with the exception of Special Studies curricula) 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 198. 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.

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 on page 9. 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.

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 Transfer majors may lead toward hundreds of potential careers. The subject areas for transfer study are listed below. Students with a declared major are assigned faculty advisors. Division contact phone numbers are listed below; however, students should determine who their assigned avisor is and contact that person directly. The staff in Admissions, Registration and Records or the Academic Advising and Transfer Center can provide the referral for the student’s specific advisor. Advisors in major areas are assigned to assist students wihth appropriate educational planning, selection of transfer schools, and keeping updated on changing reuirements and standards. Lists of advisors for all majors are updated annually.

Academic Advising and Transfer Center One of the most efficient and effective ways to learn about specific transfer programs at colleges and universities is to visit prospective schools on-line. Students are welcome to use the computers in the advising center to explore their options. Visiting web sites is a great first step. Most colleges post everything you need to know and the professional academic advisors who staff the Advising Center are happy to assist and answer questions.
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 representatives 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.

basis by the transfer school.
There are also regularly scheduled workshops for students who seek to understand the transfer process and who wish to plan accordingly.
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 page 10).
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 dvisor 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 in Business
• Know the Rules: Pay attention to GPA and transfer credit policies, application deadlines and both general education and major course requirements of transfer schools.
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.
• 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
• Ask for Help: Make sure you have current and complete information; ask for what you need to complete the transfer process successfully.
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.
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 7-8). 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, 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.
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

Economics at MHCC focuses on improving economic literacy - the ability to apply economic principles to personal, business, and government issues. Transfer students who follow the Principles of Economics sequence at MHCC report superb preparation for upper division courses in economics. Students also report back that economics was one of the most significant classes they took as an undergraduate - it taught them how to think critically.

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.

Hospitality and Tourism Management
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.

In a world that is increasingly interdependent, knowledge of other cultures and languages is crucial. In East Multnomah County, the three languages most needed by local businesses and service agencies, after English, are Spanish, Russian and American Sign Language (ASL). 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.

Outdoor Education, Recognition of Completion, 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.
and storms that are not responsible morally for what they do? 3. How should a human being live? Should I seek mainly my own happiness? How concerned with the welfare of others should I be? How should I treat others and expect others to treat me? It is true that philosophers rarely reach a consensus about which answer is indisputably the right one for any given philosophical question. But it is still the case that, like with wines, the connoisseur of ideas can at least identify the few best answers, and from these few he or she can sometimes reach personal closure - an intelligent and informed personal closure. So why let others answer these questions for you? Why settle for being a second-hand person? Isn’t it time to own your mind?
Applications for completion of the non-transcripted, institutional award of attendance are available in the Health and Physical Education Division (PE155).

Philosophers are interested in trying to provide plausible answers to life’s most profound questions. 1. What, ultimately, is going on? Is there a God who created us for some purpose? Must we grasp this purpose and take specific actions or be on the losing side of some great spiritual battle? Is God perhaps merely interested in watching the show? Is nature all there is and God a mere figment of our imaginations? 2. What kind of thing is a human being? Are we creatures of God possessing an immortal soul, or are we merely animals? Were we created by intelligent design, or are we the product solely of naturalistic evolutionary processes? Do we have sufficient freedom of the will to be truly deserving of praise and blame for what we do, or are we only complicated physical systems like computers

Physics is the study of the structure and organization of the universe. It encompasses the observation of forces and matter, of motion, of cause and effect, and of the intrinsic properties of space and time. Physics analyzes these concepts in detail and uses them to synthesize models of complex phenomena.

The courses listed below are designed for direct transfer to four-year colleges/universities and completion of them does not result in an associate degree. They transfer to most universities and colleges as a social science distribution requirement or 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 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!”

Mt. Hood Community College is committed to student success. The college offers courses for students who need additional academic preparation. Mt. Hood Community College requires that students are proficient in reading, writing, and math or a combination of these basic skills before they can enroll in most college courses.
Proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics can be determined by taking the College Placement Test (CPT) or by successfully completing previous college course work. There are two proficiency levels: Proficiency Needed or Proficiency Required. Proficiency levels for each course can be found at the end of individual course descriptions.
Proficiency is defined as course placement above:
RD90 Introduction to College Reading and Study Skills
Proficiency Needed
WR90 Basic Writing Skills
All students registering for proficiency-needed courses must meet the proficiencies in reading, writing, and mathematics either through the CPT or through self-evaluation. Self-evaluation can be used only if the student plans to enroll in five (5) or fewer credits. Students enrolling in five (5) or fewer must realize that they are expected to possess the needed reading, writing and math proficiencies to enroll in the specified course.
MTH20 Applied Arithmetic and Pre-Algebra Note: Students who have completed a reading, writing, or math prerequisite numbered higher than RD90, WR90 and MTH20 will meet the reading, writing, or math proficiency requirement.
Reading, Writing, and Math Proficiencies
Proficiency Required
All students registering for proficiency-required courses will be required to take the CPT and place above RD90, WR90 and MTH20 or prove proficiency with successfully completed college course work regardless of the number of credit hours taken.
Reading Proficiency A student who meets the reading proficiency generally is able to read pre-college textbooks (9th grade level) and find main ideas and supporting details. Students may still have great difficulty when the amount of reading material is high, content is abstract, or vocabulary is difficult.

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. See Records Retention on page 201. You must reapply each year if not selected. Admission to the college does not guarantee admission to a special program. See pages 16-17 for a list of limited and restricted-entry programs. A listing of limited and restricted-entry programs can also be found at www.mhcc.edu/lradmissions.
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.
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.
Applying
Advanced Standing 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.
Selection Process 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 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.
• High school coursework

Registration
• Orientation/interview
Adding a Class Adding a class is a formal change made by the student in the Admissions, Registration and Records Office or via Touch Tone or Web.
• Resume • Answers to supplemental questions
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. Instructor permission is required to add Mathematics, English composition, some chemistry, developmental education and computer classes after the first class meeting. Instructor’s signature is required to register for open and closed classes during the second week of instruction. Students will not be allowed to add after the 2nd week of instruction or the equivalent for non-standard term length classes. Any exceptions to this will be handled on a case-by-case basis by the Coordinator of Registration or designee. Check with the Admissions, Registration and Records Office in the Student Services Center for further clarification and the last day to register or add a non-standard term-length class.

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 registration may result in little or no refund period.
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.
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
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

same class, the student will be added to the first opening and dropped from all other waiting lists. Students must notify the Admissions, Registration and Records Office immediately if they no longer want to be on the waiting list.
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
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.
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.
Note: Being added to a class from a “wait list” will affect a student’s account. Each student is responsible for verifying whether or not they have been added to a class from a wait list. 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.
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.
Attendance Students are responsible for their attendance in courses for which they are enrolled. See specific course syllabus for each course attendance requirements.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Billing and Collection Types of Fees
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.
• Admission Fee: A one time only, non-refundable admission fee is required for all first time credit students. The fee is assessed the first time a student registers for a credit course. • Student Fee: Student fees are disbursed on a comprehensive program basis for student government activities and for intercollegiate sports. The statement of philosophy of this financial support can be found in the Appendix of Board Policy and college Regulations. • Technology Fee: Technology fees provide for the replacement of the changing technological needs of the district. • Special Fees: Certain classes require tools, uniforms, equipment, insurance, etc., which are not covered by tuition or course fees.
Dropping and Withdrawals Dropping a Class
Definition of Terms
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.
• Residency: Determination of residence for admission and other purposes will be made according to the following definitions: Residence is defined as a person’s domicile, his/her true fixed and permanent home and place of habitation. It is the place where one intends to remain, and to which one expects to return when one leaves without intending to establish a new domicile elsewhere. Domicile is not established by mere attendance at the college.
• Auditing: students (no credit or grade) pay in accordance with the tuition/fee schedule.
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.
A valid drivers license, permit or ID card from Oregon, California, Idaho, Washington or Nevada is required for all students requesting in-state residency. Oregon residency must be established 90 days prior to the first day of class.
195
Collections
• In-State Student: An American citizen or immigrant who has established residency in Oregon 90 days prior to the beginning of classes.
Delinquent accounts 90 days past due may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection of the debt. The College cannot make or accept special payment arrangements to avoid assignment to a collection agency. The consequences for a student’s account being turned over to collections are as follows: • Student will be responsible for repayment of the original debt plus collection costs of 20%. The student is responsible for court costs and attorney’s fees related to the collection of all delinquent debts owed to the college.
• Out-of-State Student: An American citizen or immigrant who has not established residency in Oregon 90 days prior to the beginning of classes. • International Student: A citizen of another country in the United States on a visa other than an immigrant visa. • Reciprocity: An American citizen or immigrant who has established residency in Washington, California, Idaho or Nevada may pay in-state tuition.

Educational debt is non-dischargeable under Section 523 (a) (8) of the US Bankruptcy Code. There is no statue of limitation on the collection of educational debt. Therefore, the College will attempt to collect from any student who seeks services of the College, even if that account had previously been deemed uncollectible.
• mailed to the address on the file • an account of activity for the previous 30 days.
Refunds
• not mailed for accounts with balances of $5.00 or less
Students will receive a 100 percent refund/removal of charges for classes dropped through student on-line services, touch tone registration or in person at the Admissions and Records Office by the published refund date. Refunds are automatically processed as a credit on the student account. Any credit applied to a student account resulting from a removal of charges or overpayment will first be applied to any institutional debt, even if the amount owed is not yet due. Late registration, class additions or registering for the next term may result in little or no refund.
Note: It is the student’s responsibility to update the college with any change of address.
Past Due Account Tuition and fees that are not paid by the published due date are considered “past due”. The consequences for a past due account are as follows: • Late payment penalty - Failure to pay tuition/fees or to process an approved Student Installment Payment Note by the due date will result in late payment penalties. A $10 late fee is assessed on charges every 30 days past due with a maximum of $30 each term. A student account that has been assessed one late fee is considered a delinquent account.
If any payments were made with a bank/credit card, refunds are first credited back to the card up to the amount charged. All other refunds will be by check made payable to the student and mailed to the address on file. Refunds are not processed for amounts under $5.00 unless requested through the Business Office. Non-attendance is not a basis for a refund or nonpayment of tuition. Registration constitutes liability unless a formal drop or withdrawal is processed through student on-line services, Touch Tone registration or in person at the Admissions, Registration and Records Office during the refund period. Students using financial aid to pay tuition are still liable (even if aid is denied) unless they drop or withdraw within the refund period.
• Financial holds -Financial holds are placed on student accounts with past due balances after the 2nd Friday of each term. This hold will restrict registration and withhold official transcripts, degrees and certificates. • Denial of credit - The College may require advance payment of future services on accounts that have been previously referred for collection.
In some circumstances the student may be eligible to receive a prorated refund determined by the date they dropped the class, if there were serious and compelling circumstances beyond the student’s control which prevented the student from attending college during the first four weeks of the term. The request must be submitted to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office by 4 p.m. on Friday of the 5th week of classes (or equivalent for non-standard length classes). Please contact the Admissions, Registration and Records Office for procedures.
Returned Checks A $20.00 penalty charge and all collection fees, including court costs and attorney fees, will be charged to the student account on returned checks of any nature. Any returned check intended as payment of a student account, will be considered as non-payment and subject to the conditions listed in the Past Due accounts section. If a returned check was used to pay off a previous debt in order to register for the current term, the student will be administratively dropped from the current term.
Billing and Collections Rights and Responsibilities This information establishes standards for timely collection of all monies owed to the college.
After the college has received two returned checks; personal checks will not be accepted. The student must remit with an alternative payment type; payment by cash, money order or credit card, Visa or MasterCard, would be acceptable.

Transferring to MHCC: Mt. Hood Community College accepts collegelevel credits earned in academic certificate and degree programs from colleges and universities accredited by one of the following regional Associations of Colleges and Schools -- Middle States, North Central, New England, Northwest, Southern or Western. 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. The transcript evaluation form is available at www.mhcc.edu/admissions/graduation/ transcripteval/main.htm Students should send official transcripts to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. Transfer coursework from foreign Institutions must be evaluated by an outside credential evaluation service. The evaluation company must be either AACRAO Foreign Education Credential Service (www.aacrao. org) or a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). For a list of NACES memberships, please refer to their web site at www.naces.org. The evaluation must be a course-by-course evaluation with an official copy submitted to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. The coursework must be considered to be at a post-secondary level, have comparable MHCC accreditation status and be parallel in content to MHCC coursework. The outside evaluation must also be completed for secondary level education for any evaluation of that coursework toward MHCC admission requirements.
Developmental Education Courses
Credit may be granted for military courses based upon The Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services and if the courses apply to the student’s MHCC major. 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 following are all Developmental Education classes and are not acceptable for any MHCC degree or certificate:
Alternative Ways to Earn College Credit: Non-Traditional Credit
CIS90 All DE prefix courses ENL94R, ENL94S, ENL94W ESL94R, ESL94S, ESL94W HD90 MTH 8 and 10 (formerly MTH 9) RD 9, 10, 90 (formerly RD11), and RD95 SKH 20, 30, 35 WR 9, 10, 20 and 90 (formerly WR10)
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. 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.
Course Number Change In the event a course number has been changed from a professional/ technical number to a transfer level number, the transfer level number will appear on the permanent record only for those who took the class after the change was approved.
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
198
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
Financial aid recipients CANNOT use financial aid dollars to “challenge” classes. Please check with the Office of Financial Aid.
A B C D F U
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.
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.
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 IP
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 Course still In-Progress
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.
Incompletes
The Oregon State Bureau of Labor and Industry journeyperson’s card in the trade of Sheet Metal Worker may be used in conjunction with transcripts to verify that the SMT and the APP200E requirements of the MHCC Sheet Metal Technology AAS degree program have been met.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
199
Pass/Fail Option
Standard of Academic Progress
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.
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.
The Purpose of the Standard To assist each student with accomplishing his/her educational goal by: • Alerting the student and the college of academic difficulties or deficiencies.
S Grade For evaluation and transferability purposes, the S grade is equivalent to a grade of C or better.
Audit Option
• Providing the opportunity for the college to be of greater assistance to the student in setting and achieving academic goals.
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, Registration 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. Audited courses are not eligible for financial aid.
• 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.
Academic Review and Referral 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:
Grade Point Average Adjustment 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 adjustment per course will be processed. 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, Registration and Records Office for more information.

Students may appeal their suspension if they believe there are compelling reasons for reinstatement from suspension.
Steps to Appeal
Degree and Certificate Notes
• Obtain a “Suspension Appeal” form from the Academic Advising and Transfer Center.
Repeated courses may be counted only once toward graduation unless specified in the course description or unless specifically required in a program curriculum.
• Meet with an academic advisor to complete the Suspension Appeal form. • The academic advisor will determine whether the appeal will be approved and inform the student immediately.
A maximum of 25 credits of ENL courses, numbered 100 or higher, may be applied toward the AAS or AGS degree. A maximum of 15 credits of the highest level of ENL courses, numbered 100 or higher, may be applied as electives only toward the AA-OT, the AS-OT-Business, or the AS degree.
Appeal Decisions The advisor will render one of the following decisions: Appeal Approved - The student is expected to fulfill the expectations outlined on the Suspension Appeal form and is returned to academic probation status for one term. If the student does not fulfill the expectations, they can be suspended from one term to one year.
Please refer to the Course Numbering System and Developmental Education courses on page 197, with regard to courses not applicable toward a Mt. Hood Community College degree or certificate.
Graduation Process
Appeal Denied - The student is suspended for one term and must complete a Re-entry plan with an advisor before they will be allowed to enroll the following term.
1. Students desiring to earn a degree or certificate from Mt. Hood Community College must process the graduation application with the Admissions, Registraion and Records Office. It is strongly recommended students apply two terms prior to the term of completion (e.g., spring term graduates should apply during fall term).
Transcripts
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. The student will be asked to provide written approval from the program advisor in order to apply the original coursework toward a degree.
It is the student’s responsibility to arrange for correcting any errors in the MHCC transcript record within four academic terms (including summer). A MHCC transcript will be released upon written request of the student. Requests and payments for transc–ripts are made in the Admissions and Records Office. Please allow up to five business days for processing faxed requests. Official transcript requests paid for by check will be processed two weeks after the payment occurs. A student’s official transcript may be held for any indebtedness to the college.
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.
Advisors may obtain MHCC advising transcripts for their advisees. Students may generate a free, unofficial copy of their own unofficial transcript through MHCC’s Student On-line Services at www.mhcc.edu.
4. The graduation application fee is to be paid in the business office and a copy of the receipt attached to the graduation application.
Document Replacement Fee
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.
There will be a fee charged for a request to replace or duplicate MHCC documents such as a previously awarded degree or certificate. For information on the release of student records refer to pages 209-211.
Records Retention
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.
MHCC adheres to the minimum records retention guidelines set forth by the State of Oregon. These records retention guidelines may be found on the Oregon State Archives web site (www.arcweb.sos.state.or.us). They are located in Division 450 of Chapter 166 in the Administrative Rules. In some cases, MHCC retains records longer than the minimum set forth by the State.
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
Graduation from Mt. Hood Community College makes one an automatic alumnus and eligible for membership in the alumni association.
Advisors and other college employees are available to help, but students have final responsibility for satisfying degree/certificate requirements for graduation.
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.
Catalog Exception Under certain circumstances, a student is allowed to deviate from a prescribed curriculum and still meet degree requirements. A student who wishes to waive a required course may petition a degree evaluator via a Recommendation for Catalog Exception Form. The form is available at http:\\www.mhcc.edu/admissions/graduation/forms/recomcatalog.doc

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.
The range of activities offered at MHCC is impressive. Students initiate whitewater rafting trips, sponsor Halloween pumpkin carving contests, organize environmental conferences, and make decisions as student representatives on important institutional planning committees. Each year the student government prepares a sizable budget providing funding for numerous student projects. The student government supports the operations of the forensics team providing students competitive opportunities in debate and speech tournaments. The Gallery and Performance Program Committee brings musical groups and performers to the campus along with a series of art shows displayed in the College Center. Club sports, political groups, and organizations promoting cultural awareness provide numerous other activities each year.
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 according to class dates and the number of credits for the class and paid accordingly.
There are several official clubs at MHCC, with new clubs being created each year to meet the changing needs of students. The Office of Student Life in the College Center can provide information on the full array of opportunities available.
205
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.
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.
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.
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.
Satisfactory Progress Standards for Veterans 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.

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, Registration and 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
Educational Records Policy
Release of Information 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 Admissions, Registration and Records Office or other school official having custody of such records;
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 that have student aid for athletics, the information pertaining to student athletes must also be categorized and presented by the ethnic background and gender of the student and by sport. Information about
209
• 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;
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.
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. Complete the form, including signature and date, and return it. Your request to place or remove the restriction is effective no later than two (2) working days after it is received.
• The right to file a complaint with the Department of Education, Family Compliance Office, concerning alleged failures by the college to comply with the requirements for FERPA.
Duration of the restriction
Directory Information
The restriction of information is permanent until you request, in writing, that it be removed. The restriction will remain in place even after you have stopped attending or have graduated from the college.
Mt. Hood Community College has chosen to release limited Directory Information as defined in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The following information is considered to be MHCC Directory Information and will be released upon verbal request to anyone: • • •
Release of Grades and Course Evaluations The Student Records Policy prohibits publicly disclosing grades linked to personal identifiers, such as names, student numbers, or social security numbers. Grades may be posted by assigning another unique number.
Student’s current enrollment status, Verification of certificate or degree earned, Whether student is participating in officially recognized sports; and height and weight of members of athletic teams.
The return of graded papers or other assignments must also be accomplished in a manner that protects the identity of the student. The instructor is responsible for protecting the identity of the student.
Students are employed in some areas of the college as work study and student aides, and before any access to student records is given to them, they receive FERPA information and sign off on the institutional statement of understanding form that validates they have been given and understand FERPA requirements.
Registration Tampering Altering the registration records of another student without that student’s permission is considered a violation of the student conduct code. See MHCC Student Handbook under Student Code of Conduct (see also, www.mhcc.edu/academics/student_services/ssdocs).
Exceptions to this limited release may include but are not limited to: (1) we may release alumni names and addresses to the Alumni Office for their communication with MHCC graduates. Alumni are defined as students having graduated from MHCC whether currently enrolled or not, (2) we may release the names of students making the Vice President’s and President’s Lists, Academic or Athletic Honors/Awards, or information to hometown newspapers of students attending the college, (3) student athletes may sign a special release of information form through the Athletic Department for the release of information regarding their registration activity, grades and access to their permanent record by their coach or the Dean of Health and Physical Education/Athletic Director. They may also give permission to release academic records and pictures to coaches representing four-year colleges and to media representatives.
Solomon Amendment Disclosure The Solomon Amendment requires by law that the college release: • student name • address • telephone number • date of birth • education level • academic major • degrees received upon request from recruiters of the branches of the US military. 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 the student.
Disclosure of education records is allowed when a court approves an application submitted by an Assistant U.S. Attorney General (or higherranking federal official) 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.

OAR 581-41-460 authorizes Mt. Hood Community College to ask you to provide your social security number. The number will be used by the college for keeping records, doing research, aggregate reporting, and extending credit and collecting debts. Your number also will be provided by the college to the Oregon Community College Unified Reporting System (OCCURS), which is a group made up of all community colleges in Oregon, the State Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development and the Oregon Community College Association. OCCURS gathers information about students and programs to meet state and federal reporting requirements. It also helps colleges plan, research and develop programs. This information helps the colleges to support the progress of students and their success in the workplace and other educational programs. When conducting studies, MHCC will disclose your social security number only in a manner that does not permit personal identification of you by individuals other than representatives of MHCC (or the organization conducting the study for MHCC). By providing your social security number, you are consenting to the uses identified below. Provision of your social security number and consent to its use is not required and if you choose not to do so, you will not be denied any right, benefit, or privilege provided by law. You may revoke your consent for the use of your social security number at any time by contacting the Admissions and Records Office.
• The Oregon Employment Department, which gathers information to help state and local agencies plan education and training services to help Oregon citizens get the best jobs available. • The Oregon Department of Education to provide reports to local, state, and federal governments. The information is used to learn about education, training and job market trends for planning, research and program improvement. • The Workers Compensation Division, to track the successful retraining of injured workers. • The Oregon Department of Revenue and collection agencies only for purposes of processing debts and only if credit is extended to you by the college. • The National Student Loan Clearinghouse for student financial aid processing and/or research on transfer. • The Internal Revenue Service, to provide required information related to the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. In addition, the college may release your social security number to business firms under contract with the college for research, planning and program development purposes. In such cases, strict confidentiality is part of the contractual agreement with the firm. Your number will be used only for the purposes listed above. State and federal law protects the privacy of your records.
OCCURS and the college also may match your social security number with records from the following systems: • State and private universities, colleges and vocational schools, to find out how many community college students go on with their
College Mission & Facts Mission
College Goals
A Commitment to the Community
Goal #1. Knowledge-Based Workforce. Provide knowledge-based* educational offerings to meet regional economic development needs.
Mt. Hood Community College affords all people a knowledge-based education, giving them the ability to make life choices; adapt to change; build strong communities; contribute to and derive benefit from the new economy; and become part of a skilled workforce.
Goal #2. Access and Diversity. Provide an affordable and attractive option for members of the community seeking a post-secondary education, including the creation of an environment in which diversity thrives. Goal #3. Transitions/Outcomes. Strengthen support for student success and provide seamless transfer opportunities to colleges, universities and career.
Vision The College is dedicated to:
Integrity: infusing high standard into all MHCC efforts.
Goal #4. Institutional Capability. Strengthen institutional capability to expand opportunities for student success and financially sustain programs and services. * Knowledge-based education is characterized by four elements, which must be addressed by all programs within the college: • Interdisciplinary approach to learning. • Students receiving skills necessary to function effectively in an information-based society. (That is, able to work in groups, think critically, and possess an appreciation for the humanities, to name a few.) • Strong technological component • High-level skills being imparted to students
Respect: showing thoughtful consideration for all MHCC community members.
MHCC Philosophy of General Education
• Student learning as the most important outcome. • Being a comprehensive community college with initiatives in information, engineering, biomedical and biological technologies. • Seamless transfer opportunities to colleges, universities and career. • Continued, directly applicable, learning at all stages of career and life. • Striving to meet learning needs when and where students prefer. • Providing learner support.
Values
Innovation: promoting creativity and flexibility in all aspects of the MHCC experience.
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
Service: enhancing opportunities for student achievement and success.

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.

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.
District The Mt. Hood Community College district encompasses an area of about 950 square miles with a population of more than 270,000. The district boundaries extend as far east as the lofty peak of Mt. Hood and to the Wasco County line, south into Clackamas county including the communities of Boring and Damascus and west into the city limit of the city of Portland. The Columbia River from 33rd Street to Cascade Locks is the northern boundary. Within this area are included the high school districts of Corbett, David Douglas, Gresham-Barlow, Parkrose, Port of Cascade Locks, Reynolds and the Oregon Trail District..
A core of general education instruction permeates each of the college’s five degrees (AAS, AGS, AA-OT, AS, AS/OT-Business) 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: 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.
History 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
MHCC Foundation The Mt. Hood Community College Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 1969 to receive, hold and disburse private funds in support of the educational programs and students of the college. The direction of the Foundation is vested in its board of directors, composed of citizens from a broad spectrum of the community. Working in small groups and committees, Foundation members assist in forming, developing and promoting a number of worthwhile objectives, such as scholarships, equipment purchases and support for faculty development projects. For more information, call the Foundation office at 503-491-7206.
Accreditation Mt. Hood Community College is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities and is approved as a veterans training institution by the Veterans Administration. Accreditation documentation is available in the President’s Office.
