Admission of all students is centralized in the Admissions, Registration and Records Office.

General Admission Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) has an open-entry general admission policy and welcomes all students who can benefit from instruction regardless of their educational background. Some programs have additional admission requirements. See Limited/Restricted-Entry Programs at the end of Step 1.

You may submit the form online or by: • fax 503-491-7388 • in person At the Student Services Center lobby • mail Mt. Hood Community College Admissions, Registration and Records Office 26000 SE Stark St. Gresham, OR 97030

Returning Enrollment

Students who have not attended MHCC for four terms or more must submit an Admission application in order to update student record information. See Step 5 for registration.

Underage Students – credit coursework Persons under 18 years of age who have not graduated from high school, have not been released from compulsory attendance, or have not obtained a GED, must follow special admission procedures to enroll.

WWW.mhcc.edu

Initial Enrollment

New students age 15 and under must see the Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management prior to initial registration. To make an appointment and obtain the necessary forms, contact the administrative assistant at 503-491-7317. When meeting with the Vice President, students must bring the following: • Letter of request from student • Letter of support from high school counselor (or ESD for home-schooled students) addressing the student’s maturity and readiness for college experiences • MHCC High School Permission Form • Completed application for Underage Student Admission Checklist form, available through the administrative assistant • College Placement Test scores • MHCC Admission Form This information will be considered in the Vice President’s decisionmaking process. The Vice President’s decision as to whether the student will be allowed to enroll will be final. The Vice President will notify the instructor(s) in the division(s) in which the student is taking classes.

Returning Enrollment

Students will need to obtain an adviser’s signature on each registration form before they may register. These returning students do not have to see the Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management unless the student is not making satisfactory academic progress as defined by the College. Students Age 16 and 17

Initial Enrollment

Students who have not graduated from high school, or have not been released from compulsory attendance or have not obtained a GED must do the following: • Meet with an academic adviser in the Academic Advising and Transfer Center inside the Student Services Center prior to registration in any class • Take the College Placement Test if deemed necessary by the adviser • Complete the MHCC “High School Permission Form.” This form includes the “Release Agreement for Potential Injury and Liability” and is valid for 12 months

These students follow the same guidelines for registration as students 18 years of age and older. See Step 5. Home-Schooled Students Under Age 18 Home-schooled students will follow one of the specific procedures as outlined for “Students Age 15 and Under” or for “Students Age 16 and 17.” Students, who have been released from compulsory attendance, must: • Submit the “Release from Compulsory Attendance Form” to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. This form is obtained from the student’s resident high school district Note: These students follow the same guidelines for general admission. Financial Aid Eligibility of Underage Students For the purposes of financial aid eligibility, underage students are not defined as college degree-seeking students and are therefore not eligible for aid. 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 completed 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.

The Office of Financial Aid at MHCC helps students apply for and receive all major types of Title IV federal and State of Oregon financial aid, including grants, work study, loans and scholarships. Additional information regarding the specific types of grants, work study, loans and scholarships are described on pages 23-24.

Some of our programs have enrollment limits and/or other requirements before a student may register. The entry type of each program is listed at the top of each program description section. These programs require special application procedures.

Students will usually receive a “Renewal Application” by mail sometime before Jan. 1 of each year. Online renewal forms

Mt. Hood Community college Catalog • 2011 - 2012

Previous financial aid recipients:

WWW.mhcc.edu

STEPS TO GETTING STARTED AT MHCC<> becoming CAREER-techincal a student programs at mhcc

are available by logging onto the www.fafsa.ed.gov website using a PIN number. To ensure that the FAFSA results are sent to all colleges desired, the applicant must enter school codes or complete addresses for prospective colleges. The MHCC school code is 003204.

Conditions for Awards

The following three items are the key conditions reviewed when awarding financial aid: 1. The size of the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The FAFSA information 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

Aid Disbursement

After the student is awarded financial aid, it is posted to their account and will be used directly to pay their tuition and fees. Any remaining aid will be disbursed by the preference selected when the student activates their MHCC Mountain Card. This refund can be used to buy books, pay for room and board, transportation and miscellaneous supplies and personal items after the add/drop period.

Step 3. Visit Testing Services Testing Services; Room AC 2335 503-491-7678; www.mhcc.edu/testing

To be properly placed into classes, new students must take a College Placement Test (CPT). This test, which covers reading, writing and mathematics, helps assess students’ academic readiness and will help them choose classes that fit their present skill level. Students may not have to take the placement test if:

WWW.mhcc.edu

Step 4. Attend a Workshop Academic Advising and Transfer Center; Room AC 2253 503- 491-7315; www.mhcc.edu/advising

New Students

Workshops are held for new students* at a variety of times, including some evenings. In the workshop, you will learn how to plan your schedule, use the MHCC website, and register for classes. You will also get a tour of campus and find your class locations. Please bring your CPT (College Placement Test) results and MyMHCC ID and password with you. Reserve a seat in the workshop online at www.mhcc.edu/ advising/workshopregistration.asp

Degree Requirements

Courses counting toward degree requirements must be taken sequentially if the course is a prerequisite for another course. For example, MTH095 may not count toward a degree requirement if taken after MTH111, because MTH095 is a prerequisite for MTH111. However, if a course is not a prerequisite for another course, the courses may be taken in any order. For example, HST110 may count toward a degree requirement if taken after HST111, since HST110 is not a prerequisite to HST111. Repeated courses may be counted only once toward graduation unless specified in the course description or unless specifically required in a program curriculum.

3. 4.

Achieve an MHCC cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 or higher.

oregon transfer module The one-year certificate will be awarded to students who satisfy the following requirements:

Successfully complete all required courses in a one-year certificate program as listed in the catalog.

The OTM may lead to an Associate of Arts-Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree or an Associate of Science Oregon Transfer - Business (ASOTBusiness) degree, from a community college, or to a baccalaureate degree from a university. The OTM is neither a certificate nor a degree. After completing the module, students are still obligated to take additional, institution-specific, General Education coursework if they pursue an AAOT, an ASOT-Business or a baccalaureate degree. Any student completing an OTM that conforms to the guidelines below will have met the requirements for the Oregon Transfer Module at any Oregon community college or institution in the Oregon University System. Upon transfer, the receiving institution may specify additional course work that is required for a major, for degree requirements, or to make up the difference between the OTM and the institution’s total General Education requirements.2

WWW.mhcc.edu

Courses for an OTM issued from MHCC must be selected from the list of approved courses. The list is also available in the Admissions, Registration and Records Office, the Academic Advising and Transfer Center or from a program adviser.3

Regionally-accredited private colleges and universities within the state may offer and issue the OTM, which will be accepted at any Oregon public college or university.

Oregon Transfer Module credits may not match program requirements in the receiving school. The OTM supplements, but does not supplant existing articulation agreements and does not replace effective advising.

Degree Requirements

The Oregon Transfer Module (OTM) allows for institutional recognition of the completion of one-year (full-time equivalent) of General Education coursework. Once awarded, the OTM is recognized by all of the public institutions of post-secondary education in the state.1

GUIDELINES The OTM includes coursework chosen from the courses approved for the categories below by the institution issuing the credit. In the case of community colleges, these are courses approved for the AAOT degree; in the case of universities and four-year colleges, they are courses approved for the General Education portion of a baccalaureate degree. All courses must have a grade of “C” or better, and must be at least three credits (quarter system). Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 at the time the module is transcripted to their official academic record.

Regionally accredited private colleges and universities within the state may offer and issue the Oregon Transfer Module, which will be accepted at any Oregon public college or university. 2 Oregon Transfer Module credits may not match program requirements in the receiving school. The OTM supplements, but does not supplant existing articulation agreements and does not replace effective advising. 3 Courses that are designed to prepare students for college-level work are not applicable to the transfer module. 4 In Arts and Letters, the second year of a foreign language may be included, but not the first year. American Sign Language (ASL) is considered a foreign language. 5 When choosing courses n science and mathematics, students and advisers should check the specific requirements at receiving schools. Courses that include a laboratory component, or that deal with specific subjects, may be required for majors or degrees. 6 Computer Science courses used in the Math/Science/Computer Science area must meet Oregon Council of Computer Chairs criteria for a science course. 1

certificates Certificate Requirements The one-year certificate will be awarded to students who satisfy the following requirements: 1. Successfully complete all required courses in a one-year certificate program as listed in the catalog. Courses counting toward degree requirements must be taken sequentially if the course is a prerequisite for another course. For example, MTH095 may not count toward a degree requirement if taken after MTH111, because MTH095 is a prerequisite for MTH111. However, if a course is not a prerequisite for another course, the courses may be taken in any order. For example, HST110 may count toward a degree requirement if taken after HST111, since HST110 is not a prerequisite to HST111. 2. All programs of study of one academic year or more in length for which certificates are granted require a recognizable body of instruction in program-related areas of 1) communication, 2) computation (mathematics) and 3) human relations. Please refer to the individual program for specific courses. Repeated courses may be counted only once toward graduation unless specified in the course description or unless specifically required in a program curriculum. Students who are pursuing an MHCC certificate at MHCC who have earned a baccalaureate degree or higher from an accredited institution of higher education will have satisfied the general education requirements for the certificate. However, students must complete or have completed the program specific general education course requirements within a certificate. 3. Achieve an MHCC cumulative grade point average GPA of 2.00 or higher. 4. Maintain a 2.00 GPA for all courses being applied toward the certificate and maintain a 2.00 GPA in the candidate’s major classes. 5. Satisfactorily earn 24 credit hours at MHCC and be in attendance at MHCC the term in which the certificate is completed. Non-traditional credit (College Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement Program, Challenge, Experience-Based Credit, International Baccalaureate) does not satisfy this requirement. 6. Complete the application process two quarters prior to the quarter of completion (i.e., spring term graduates must apply during fall term).

Career Pathway Certificate of Completion Career Pathway Certificate of Completion programs (12-44 credits) acknowledge proficiency in technical skill occupation and are a “stepping stone” toward completion of an Associate of Applied Science degree. The purpose and intent for a Career Pathway Certificate of Completion: • Acknowledges a specific technical skill proficiency to help a student qualify for a job or enhance employment opportunities • Provides skill competencies tied to a specific occupation or job in demand in local or state economies • Provides a credential for a segment of a program • Centers on needs of students by providing educational options • Provides the flexibility to achieve specific competencies within an aligned career path or program of study

Each year students leave MHCC and join or rejoin the local workforce. Their added skills translate to higher income and a more robust economy.

Learning how to see, respond to and work with the building blocks of art and design are the foundations for success in all forms of fine and applied arts. In a world where there is increasing dependence on visual literacy, it is essential for both artists and non-artists to develop skills in reading visual information. The Department of Visual Arts at MHCC offers valuable and meaningful preparation in the major fine art disciplines for students interested in careers in creative design, technology, image-building and self-expression. At MHCC, students work with instructors who have earned national and international recognition as practicing artists. The department’s goals are to provide students with firm foundations in design, drawing and art history while encouraging them to explore a variety of studio disciplines. Students will be assisted in developing art course portfolios that help to prepare them for transfer to private or public colleges, universities or art schools

Curricular Outcomes

At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to: • Exhibit competence in visual communication through the process of creating art • Employ aesthetic and critical thinking skills when transforming concept to form • Identify the historical, multicultural and contemporary context in artwork • Articulate ideas expressed in artwork by integrating verbal, written and visual communication skills

WWW.mhcc.edu

The two-year program listed below is designed to meet the requirements for an Associate of Science degree from MHCC. Visual Arts courses from MHCC generally transfer to most Oregon four-year educational institutions which grant baccalaureate degrees to art majors. However, it is highly recommended students contact their transfer institution of choice immediately to begin the process of degree planning and to fulfill requirements for application and acceptance. MHCC Visual Arts faculty and advising staff will assist students in communicating with transfer institutions and assessing methods for meeting the transfer school’s requirements. This two-year course of study in Art is designed to meet transfer requirements for the General Fine Arts degree program at the Pacific Northwest College of Art through a formal agreement with PNCA. Interested students should contact Art faculty adviser, Lori Lorion, for additional information. Be sure to see an adviser in the department of Visual Arts (from the list above) to personalize this plan for your educational needs.

This program will train students for jobs as implementation support specialists, implementation managers and technical/software support staff and trainers. The curriculum consists of theoretical and hands-on classes. The lecture courses focus on the concepts of using electronic health records, theoretical design principles and installation and implementation of electronic health records (EHRs). The curriculum also includes material on clinical decision support systems, health management information systems, workflow analysis and vendor-specific systems. The laboratory component will include working with an electronic health care record system. This program uses the Veterans Administration’s Vista as the education software system in the laboratory courses.

The History transfer curriculum is designed to closely follow the lower division general education requirements for History majors at many colleges and universities in Oregon. History majors systematically observe and document the past. A history degree can lead to a career teaching History, or to founding or managing a business, or reporting the news, or managing an archive, or government, law and the professions. Corporate management trainers report liberal arts majors advance further in business careers than students with other majors, and recent figures show that students majoring in history score especially well in entrance examinations for Masters’ of Business Administration (MBA) programs and for law school.

Curricular Outcomes

At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to: • Identify and analyze major events and developments of significant cultures and civilizations • Identify and analyze the interrelationships of selected social, cultural, political, economic and geographic systems • Recognize the effects of historical events upon subsequent issues and situations • Demonstrate basic competence in geography and discuss the effects of geography upon historical events • Use basic tools of historical inquiry - especially the practice of finding evidence, weighing its importance and validity and applying it to a historical problem • Recognize different interpretations of historical events The two-year program listed below is designed to meet the requirements for an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree from MHCC and prepare a student to obtain a Bachelor of Science/Arts in History at Eastern Oregon University, Oregon State University, Portland State University, Southern Oregon University, University of Oregon, Western Oregon University, Lewis & Clark College, Reed College and University of Portland.

However, students from MHCC seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions. These institutions may require different courses within the various areas of General Education. Students interested in transferring to a four-year college after MHCC should consult with the institution they plan to attend, their academic adviser, as well as the MHCC academic Advising and Transfer Center. Nine MHCC History courses (the Western Civilization series: HST101-103; the World History series: HST110-112; and the American History series: HST201-203) will transfer directly to Oregon’s public universities as History credit; each may be taken individually or as part of a sequence. All other MHCC History courses transfer as a social sciences distribution requirement or a social sciences elective. As transfer policies differ, it is vital to check with the transfer institution directly for specific information. Each of the History courses listed below is offered at least once a year at MHCC and several are available in an Independent Study format.

Respiratory Care Restricted Entry, Associate of Applied Science Degree Program MHCC Faculty Adviser Carl Eckrode: 503-492-7123 Carl.Eckrode@mhcc.edu

Room AC 2785

Respiratory Care is an allied health discipline that uses scientific principles to carry out physician directed diagnosis and treatment of abnormal respiratory conditions. Respiratory Care Practitioners work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home care, research, education and medical equipment sales. The program combines basic science and modern respiratory care theory with clinical experience in local medical centers. Both campus and clinical learning focus on all areas of respiratory care, which includes adult, neonatal and pediatric, general and intensive care. The Respiratory Care Program prepares the student for both local and national standards. Graduates are eligible to take the national entry level examination and the national advanced practitioner level examinations administered by the National

Board for Respiratory Care. Passing these examinations serves to fulfill state licensure testing requirements. The respiratory care profession continues to develop and diversify. Studies by the American Medical Association indicate that the need for Respiratory Care Practitioners will continue to grow. The personal requirements necessary to succeed as a Respiratory Care Practitioner include a general aptitude for the biological and physical sciences. The Respiratory Care Practitioner is required to understand the physiology and pathology of circulation and respiration. Also required is the emotional maturity to deal with decision making in critical life and death situations.

Program Goal

To prepare graduates to be competent and effective advanced level respiratory care practitioners.

Program Outcomes

At the completion of this program, students should be able to: • Collect and interpret clinical data accurately, relate theory to clinical practice and recommend appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in accordance with established clinical guidelines • Perform therapeutic and diagnostic procedures efficiently in accordance with appropriate standards of care, protocols and clinical practice guidelines, will modify therapeutic procedures in response to the patient’s condition, will efficiently use equipment and supplies and demonstrate thorough attention to safety • Communicate effectively with patients and members of the health care team and maintain appropriate records accurately and completely in accordance with health care agency standards and HIPAA regulations • Respect the beliefs and values of all persons, demonstrate self-direction and practice in an ethical and professional manner in accordance with established policies and procedures Applications packets are available on our website at www. mhcc.edu/LRadmissions. Once you have read the application packet, if you have questions, please call 503-491-7341. Students who used the College Placement Test (CPT) to demonstrate mathematics proficiency for program admission as of 2004 – 2005 will not meet the general education requirement for the Associate of Applied Science Degree.

academic information Admission to Limited and Restricted-Entry Programs

Student Progress

Applying The limited and restricted-entry programs have additional steps for students to take before they are considered for admission. Students must apply within the time period prescribed annually by the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. Upon notice of acceptance into the program by the Admissions, Registration and Records Office, the applicant must indicate his/her intention to enroll by completing registration in the program prior to an established deadline. Applications are for one academic year only. See Records Retention on page 219. Applicants may reapply each year if not selected. Admission to the College does not guarantee admission to a special program. For a list of limited and restricted-entry programs, visit www.mhcc.edu/LRadmissions.

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 • High school coursework • College coursework • Related job experience • Orientation/interview • Resume • Answers to supplemental questions • Prior application to the program • Employment experience • Residency – First priority consideration may be given to applicants who reside in the MHCC district. – Second priority may be given to applicants who reside in the state of Oregon where there is no similar program offered. – Third priority may be given to applicants who reside in the state of Oregon where similar programs are offered. – Fourth priority may be given to out of state applicants where no similar program is offered.

Course Requirements The course requirements for MHCC programs are subject to change each academic year. For MHCC certificate/degree

WWW.mhcc.edu

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.

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 with permission from the program faculty adviser. In such cases, the student will need to complete a “Petition for Change of Status” form. This form outlines the details of the program extension agreement. Because of enrollment limitations, extending a program beyond two years must be on a space-available basis. If the student’s studies are interrupted or extended by five years or more, degree requirements for graduation may have changed and the student may be asked to complete current requirements in order to earn the certificate or degree. Students who are unable to maintain satisfactory progress may, through a process of review, be removed from a program. This is especially true in regard to clinical education in which patient safety is involved. 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. Students seeking advanced placement into a limited or restrictedentry 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.

Registration and Attendance Registration

Registering for Classes

Registration for classes is a formal process made by the student or authorized College employee in the Admissions, Registration and Records Office in the Student Services Center, via the Web or other means authorized by the manager of Admissions, Registrations and Records. Students may register online (my.mhcc.edu/ics) until midnight the night before the first day of a class. Registration is also available through the Admissions, Registration and Records Office in the Student Services Center during regular business hours. After 12:01 a.m. on the day a class begins, instructor permission will be required to register late or to add a class. Students should take the signature add slip and attend class to obtain the

instructor’s permission. Instructors are also available in person during posted office hours, by phone or email. Instructor permission may be granted via an authorized or signed add form or email message. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure the approved add is processed through the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. Students may only register or add a class through the second week of the term (or the equivalent for non-standard length classes) with the instructor’s permission.* The coordinator of registration or designee will handle any exceptions to this on a case-by-case basis. Students on a waiting list and whose names do not appear on the instructor’s class list are not officially registered and will not receive credit or grades. Caution: Students should be aware that registering for classes after instruction has begun is detrimental to their learning. Any student entering a class 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. *The add deadline is under review for the 2011-2012 academic year. Please visit www.mhcc.edu/late to check for the latest updates.

Wait Lists BEFORE Classes Begin If a class is full, a student can choose to go on a wait list. Wait lists are available only until a class begins. If, while on a wait list, a seat becomes available, the student will be officially added to the class by the Admissions, Registration and Records Office; therefore, the student is responsible for knowing his/her position on the wait list or class list. Being added to a class from a wait list will affect the student’s financial account and the student is responsible for any additional tuition and/or fees. Students are required to check their wait list or class list status online via the My MHCC portal or they may call 503-4917393 or stop by the Admissions, Registration and Records Office in the Student Services Center to check their wait list or class list status. Students will not be added to a class from a wait list if it creates a schedule conflict or if the student is already registered in another section of the same class. If on multiple wait lists for the same class, the student will be added to the first opening and dropped from all other wait lists. Students are required to drop themselves off of the waiting list on the My MHCC portal or notify the Admissions, Registration and Records Office in person at the Student Services Center or by calling 503-491-7393 if they no longer want to be on a wait list.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

DROPPING AND WITHDRAWALS

Wait Lists AFTER Classes Begin After the term begins, wait-listed students will be officially added to classes as seats become available up until the day before the first day of the class. Students are required to check their wait list or class list status online via the portal (My MHCC). The student is responsible for knowing his/her position on the wait list. Being added to a class from a wait list will affect the student’s financial account and the student is responsible for any additional tuition and/or fees. After the class has met, all students, including wait-listed students, must obtain the instructor’s permission (via an add slip, email or other documentation) to add the class. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure the approved add is processed through the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. Students whose names do not appear on the instructor’s class list are not officially registered and will not receive credit or grades. Please note, the wait list procedure is under review for the 20112012 academic year. Please visit www.mhcc.edu/waitlist to check for the latest updates.

Attendance Students are responsible for their attendance in classes for which they are enrolled. See a specific class syllabus for attendance requirements.

IMPORTANT No-Show Drop Procedure*

Students should be aware attendance is mandatory the first week for some classes. Also, students who do not attend class during the first four weeks of class (or the equivalent for non-standard length classes) may be dropped at the discretion of the instructor. However, non-attendance does not guarantee 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, Registration and Records Office in person at the Student Services Center or by Web or by phone (503-491-7393) for classes they do not want.

Absences

Absence due to serious illness may be excused. However, students who miss classes lose some of the content of the class. Being excused does not excuse students from the work covered during absences. 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,

214

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 they miss during their absence for approved functions. *The no-show drop procedure is under review for the 2011-2012 academic year. Please visit www.mhcc.edu/drop to check for the latest updates.

Dropping and Withdrawing Dropping a Class* Registration constitutes a financial obligation to the College unless a drop is processed within the refund period through the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. Non-attendance is not a basis for a refund or non-payment of tuition. Standard length classes dropped within the first two weeks of the term will not appear on the transcript. If a student drops after the two-week period, a “W” grade will be assigned by the Admissions, Registration and Records Office and charges are incurred. The status of “W” is not a grading option assigned by the instructor. The refund date for each class is printed on the student class schedule. A student may drop any single standard length class through Friday of the seventh week of the term. After the seventh week deadline, students may officially withdraw from all classes, but may not drop a single class. Check with the Admissions, Registration and Records Office for the last day to drop non-standard length classes. Exceptions to drop deadlines may be granted due to extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s control. Requests for exception must be made in writing to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. The final decision for an exception rests with the manager of Admissions, Registration and Records or designee. Students signing a deferment of funds are still liable unless they drop within the refund period through the Admissions, Registration and Records Office in one of the following ways: in person, by mail, Web or by phone at 503-491-7393. *The refund deadline is under review for the 2011-2012 academic year. Please visit www.mhcc.edu/drop to check for the latest updates.

Withdrawing From College An official withdrawal from MHCC is defined as withdrawing from ALL classes. The deadline to completely withdraw is the last day of instruction but before final exams. The withdrawal must be received and processed by the Admissions, Registration and Records Office in one of the following ways: in-person, by mail, Web or by telephone at 503-491-7393. Note: After Friday of the seventh week of the term (or equivalent for non-standard

Mt. Hood Community college Catalog • 2011 - 2012

length classes), students can only withdraw in person or by calling 503-491-7393. Refunds and grades are determined according to regulations. 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 officially withdraws after the second week of the term, a “W” grade will be assigned by the Admissions, Registration and Records Office and charges are incurred. The status of “W” is not a grading option assigned by the instructor. Students may not withdraw from classes that have already ended (i.e., nonstandard length classes) regardless of whether or not the class has been graded. Students who merely stop attending classes without officially withdrawing will receive the grades assigned by their instructors and will not receive a refund of tuition and fees (or will not qualify for a removal of charges if tuition and fees have not been paid). 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. Exceptions to withdrawal deadlines may be granted due to extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s control. Requests for exception must be made in writing to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. The final decision for an exception rests with the manager of Admissions, Registration and Records or designee.

Billing and Collection Types of Fees College Service Fee. This fee provides for processing and service costs for general admission applications, graduation processing, duplicate certificates/degrees, official transcripts, late registration, college placement testing and tutoring services. It is assessed each term to students registered for a minimum of one credit. 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.

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. Financial holds — Financial holds are placed on student accounts with past due balances after the last day to drop with a refund for standard length classes. This hold will restrict registration and withhold official transcripts. Denial of credit — The College may require advance payment of future services on accounts that have been previously referred for collection.

Student Account Statements Account information is available online. In addition to the online information, monthly statements are mailed around the last week of each month. Monthly statements are: • A courtesy • Mailed to the address on file • An account of activity for the previous 30 days • Not mailed for accounts with balances of $5.00 or less Note: It is the student’s responsibility to update the College with any change of address.

WWW.mhcc.edu

Returned Checks The current penalty charge listed on the Web and all collection fees, including court costs and attorney fees, are 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 Account 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. 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 or currently-accepted credit/debit cards.

Collections 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, court costs and attorney’s fees related to the collection of all delinquent debts owed to the College. The Oregon Department of Revenue may withhold the student’s tax refund and remit it to the College as payment toward their outstanding debt. The student’s account may be reported to one or more nationally-recognized credit-reporting bureaus. Arrangements for repayment must be made with the outside collection agency, not the College.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Educational debt is non-dischargeable under Section 523 (a) (8) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. There is no statute 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 non-collectable.

Refunds Students will receive a 100 percent removal of tuition charges and refundable fees for classes dropped via the Web or in person at the Student Services 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. If any payments were made with a credit/debit card, refunds are first credited back to the card up to the amount charged. All other refunds are processed through the College’s refund management service or by check made payable to the student and mailed to the address on file. The complete refund process is available online at www.mhcc.edu/refunds. Non-attendance is not a basis for a refund or nonpayment of tuition. Registration constitutes liability unless a formal drop or withdrawal is processed 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. In some circumstances the student may be eligible to receive a refund or to have charges removed, if there were serious and compelling circumstances beyond the student’s control which prevented the student from attending classes. The request must be submitted to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office in the Student Services Center. A petition form and instructions are available on the Web at www.mhcc.edu/petition or you may contact the Admissions, Registration and Records Office in the Student Services Center for procedures. *The refund deadline is under review for the 2011-2012 academic year. Please visit www.mhcc.edu/drop to check for the latest updates.

Billing and Collections Rights and Responsibilities This information establishes standards for timely collection of all monies owed to the College. These rights and responsibilities apply to: • Any student (past or present) with monies owed to the College. • The personnel responsible for administration of the College practices. • Any private counsel or private collection agency employed by the College for the purpose of debt collection.

Courses Credit for Coursework The regular academic year is divided into three quarters of approximately 11 weeks each. One credit is generally allowed for each discussion or laboratory period per week. The discussion period consists of 50 minutes of lecture or discussion; the laboratory period may consist of two or more clock hours. Summer session usually includes terms of 12, 10, eight and five weeks, with class periods proportionately extended. For each period of lecture or discussion, students are expected to spend at least two hours on outside preparation. An average course load of 15 credits per quarter will normally give a student sufficient hours of credit to graduate in two years. These hours should be chosen according to an organized curriculum. No student may take more than 20 hours per quarter without approval. See the Academic Advising and Transfer Center for an overload petition form prior to registration.

Course Numbering System COURSES NUMBERED 1-4 (not section numbers) do not carry grades or credit. Tuition is charged per clock hour. COURSES NUMBERED 5-9 may be graded (letter grade) or ungraded (pass/fail) or audit only. These courses may be credit or noncredit. Courses numbered 5-9 may not be applied toward an MHCC degree or certificate unless stated in specific AAS curriculums. COURSES NUMBERED 1-49 that do not carry credit cannot be applied to any degree or certificate. COURSES NUMBERED 10-49, without a career-technical alpha prefix (see list below) and that carry credit, may be used only as an elective for an AAS or certificate (excluding those listed as Developmental Education Courses). COURSES NUMBERED 10-99 may be graded or ungraded and may carry credit applicable to an MHCC career/technical degree or certificate. Career-technical certificate/degree programs provide up to two years of specialized education designed to prepare the student for career entry. Exception: Please see Developmental Education Courses. COURSES NUMBERED 100-299 are acceptable for an MHCC degree or certificate and may or may not be eligible for transfer

Course Number Change

Alternative Ways to Earn College Credit

In the event a course number has been changed from a careertechnical 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.

High School Dual Credit – College Now is MHCC’s Dual Credit program. In cooperation with certain high schools, MHCC offers students the opportunity to earn both MHCC lower-division transfer credit and career- technical credit through submission and acceptance of a registration form per College deadlines, and completion of course materials and standards as approved by MHCC. A list of high schools and courses approved to earn MHCC credit is available online at www. mhcc.edu/collegenow. Each high school’s counseling office will also have a list of courses approved at that school. The list varies among high schools. Earned credit will be transcripted to an MHCC permanent record. Earning MHCC credit at a high school does not automatically enroll a person in an MHCC certificate or degree program. MHCC admissions procedures and requirements must still be met. Credit transfer acceptability is at the discretion of the receiving institution.

Transfer Credits and Transcript Evaluation Transferring from MHCC: Transfer students are responsible for determining the requirements of the institution and program to which they plan to transfer. Transferring to MHCC: MHCC accepts college-level 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 may request a transcript evaluation from the Admissions, Registration and Records Office if transfer courses are to be applied toward an MHCC certificate or degree after the student has enrolled in classes at MHCC. Upon completion of the certificate or degree program, the transfer credits applied will be recorded on the MHCC student transcript. Unofficial transcript evaluations can be done for advising/educational plans by an academic adviser in the Academic Advising and Transfer Center if students are currently not enrolled for classes at MHCC. The transcript evaluation form is available at www.mhcc.edu/graduation. Students should send official transcripts to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. Foreign Transcript Evaluation: 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 website, 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. Students will need to also provide course descriptions in English for any courses they wish to apply toward admission or degree requirements. Military Transcripts: 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 credit hours of PE185 may be granted toward an Associate Degree at MHCC for completion of military basic training. A copy of the DD214 form is required.

Non-Traditional Credit A maximum of 45 non-traditional credits can be applied toward an MHCC degree. The College provides a number of ways a student may earn credit toward a degree or certificate in addition to classroom experience: Advanced Placement Program (APP) CHALLENGE, College Level Examination Program (CLEP), Credit for Prior Certification (Apprenticeship Technologies) and International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IB). The Admissions, Registration and Records Office 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, Registration and Records Office. The office of Admissions, Registration and Records and the Academic Advising and Transfer Center can provide interested students with procedures. Challenge. Students who believe they have the knowledge and skills from life experience, industry training or professional certification, may request to challenge a course by petition or by an examination in lieu of class attendance. (Laboratory classes may be challenged with the approval of the division dean.) Successful challenge results in grade and credit on the MHCC permanent record identified as credit for challenge. The Admissions, Registration 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. Financial aid recipients CANNOT use financial aid dollars to challenge classes.

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 CLEP. CLEP credit is not given for general exams of English and math. Successful CLEP exam results in grade and credit on the MHCC permanent record identified as CLEP. The Admissions, Registration and Records Office and Testing Services can provide interested students with procedures. 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 classes satisfied by IB exams is available from the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. Students must indicate they would like official IB test scores sent to the MHCC Admissions, Registration and Records Office. Credit for Prior Certification: (Apprenticeship Technologies only) The Oregon State Bureau of Labor and Industry journeyperson’s card in the appropriate trade may be used in conjunction with transcripts to verify that credit earned as Credit for Prior Certification has been completed.

Grades Grades are not mailed. They are available via the Web at my.mhcc.edu. A student’s user name is their MHCC ID number.

Grade Point Average A Excellent: four points for each credit hour B Above Average: three points for each credit hour C Average: two points for each credit hour D Below Average: one point for each credit hour F Failing: zero points for each credit hour U Unsatisfactory: zero points per credit hour

218

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. Grades and/or records found to be fraudulent will be changed.

Incompletes A student may be assigned an “I” (Incomplete) when insufficient work to justify a grade has been done by the student due to excusable reasons. Though individual circumstances may warrant unique decisions, it is commonly expected that the student will have completed at least 75 percent of the class requirements. Incompletes are to be made up prior to the end of the following term unless the student is no longer enrolled. Under these circumstances, students do not need to re-register for the class and the work must be made up in the term of the return with only a four-quarter 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.

K Grade A “K” (Continuing Progress) indicates a student was registered for the class, 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 classes and to open entry/open exit classes (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 class may receive a "K" grade up to two times for the same class and may only take the class a third time with the recommendation of the developmental education instructor and the vice president of student success and enrollment services. Note: Students attempting a class 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.

Pass/Fail Option

The following are not included in GPA calculations: S Satisfactory: zero points per credit hour I Incomplete: zero points per credit hour K Continuing Progress: zero points per credit hour X Audit: zero points per credit hour W Withdrawal: zero points per credit hour NR Not received from instructor IP Class still In-Progress

Certain classes 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, Registration and Records Office for last day to change grading status for nonstandard-length classes.

MHCC computes GPA using the four-point system and by dividing the total grade points by the total quality credits.

S Grade

For evaluation and transferability purposes, the "S" grade is equivalent to a grade of "C" or better.

Mt. Hood Community college Catalog • 2011 - 2012

Audit Option Students electing to audit a class (no grade, no credit) must choose this option at the time of registration or no later than the end of the seventh week of instruction for standard term-length classes. Check with the Admissions, Registration and Records Office for last day to change grading status for nonstandard-length classes. Auditing students pay in accordance with the tuition schedule and participate to a degree determined by them and the instructor. Audited classes are not eligible for financial aid.

Grade Point Average Adjustment A student may petition for a grade point average adjustment when a class has been repeated for a higher grade. Both classes must have been taken at MHCC and the initial class must have been completed spring term 1985 or later. Only one adjustment per class will be processed. A class previously passed, when repeated, does not count toward graduation. For GPA adjustments processed on classes transcripted prior to summer 1996 (SU96), both the term and cumulative GPA are adjusted. For GPA adjustments processed on classes 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.

Student Academic Standing President’s Honor Roll Students who achieve a term grade point average of 3.85 or above with a minimum of 12 credit hours will be listed on the President’s Honor Roll for that quarter.

Vice President’s Honor Roll Students who achieve a term grade point average of 3.65 to 3.84 inclusive with a minimum of 12 credit hours will be listed on the Vice President’s Honor Roll for that quarter.

Vice President’s Part-time Honor Roll Students who achieve a term grade point average of 3.65 or higher with a minimum of six to 11 credit hours will be listed on the Vice President’s Part-time Honor Roll for that quarter. Students must start out as a part-time student and are not eligible for this honor roll if they start out as a full-time student and drop their status to below full-time.

Phi Theta Kappa Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society for two-year colleges. Rho Theta is the MHCC chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. To join Rho Theta, a student must have accumulated a total of 12 credit hours at MHCC toward an associate’s degree and must

graduation <> CAREER-techincal ACADEMIC INFORMATION programs

have a 3.5 cumulative GPA or higher. All members must also maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA. Additional information is available at the College Center. Rho Theta is designated on the student’s MHCC transcript under the term that the student qualifies for Rho Theta, and Phi Theta Kappa sends a certificate and membership number to each new member.

Standard of Academic Progress To assist students with accomplishing academic goals, the College supports the process of reviewing the academic progress of all students attempting nine 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 • Providing an opportunity for the College to be of assistance to the student in setting and achieving academic goals • Assisting the student in utilizing the facilities and personnel of the College • Creating an atmosphere in which the student may be 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 nine 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:

Warning

Students who achieve a term GPA between 1.50 and 1.99 are placed on academic warning. Students are encouraged to meet with an academic adviser immediately to determine the steps the student can take to raise their GPA the next term. The student’s academic status will be adjusted the following term depending on their academic performance: • Academic Warning status is removed if the student earns a 2.00 GPA or higher for the term • Academic Probation status is assigned if the student does not earn a minimum of a 2.00 GPA for the term

Probation

Students are placed on Academic Probation if: • They earn a 1.49 GPA or lower for a term - OR • They achieve a GPA of 1.99 or lower for two consecutive terms

WWW.mhcc.edu

Students are strongly encouraged to meet with an academic adviser to determine the steps the student can take to raise their GPA the next term. The student’s academic status will be adjusted the following term depending on their academic performance: • Academic Probation status is removed if the student earns a 2.00 GPA for the term. • Academic Suspension for one term is assigned if the student does not earn a minimum of a 2.00 GPA for the term.

Suspension

Students are placed on Academic Suspension if they earn a term GPA of 1.99 or lower while they are on Academic Probation. A student will be prevented from enrolling while on suspension.

Suspension Appeals

Students may appeal their suspension if they believe there are compelling reasons for reinstatement from suspension.

Steps to Appeal

• Obtain a Suspension Appeal form from the Academic Advising and Transfer Center. • Meet with an academic adviser to complete the Suspension Appeal form.

Appeal Decisions

The adviser 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 appeal expectations, they will be suspended for one term without the possibility of appeal. Appeal denied: The student is suspended for one term and must complete a re-entry plan with an adviser before they will be allowed to enroll the following term.

Records For information on the release of student records, refer to pages 220-221.

Transcripts It is the student’s responsibility to arrange for correcting any errors in the MHCC transcript record within four academic terms (including summer). Official MHCC transcripts must be requested by the student in one of three ways: online, by mail or in person at the Student Services Center during regular business hours. Faxed requests are not accepted. A student’s official transcript may be held for any indebtedness to the College. For further information, visit www.mhcc.edu/transcripts.

Advisers may obtain MHCC advising transcripts for their advisees. Students may generate a free, unofficial copy of their transcript via the My MHCC portal at my.mhcc.edu.

Records Retention 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 website (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.

Graduation Advisers and other College staff are available to help, but students have final responsibility for satisfying degree/certificate requirements for graduation. It is strongly recommended students utilize the College’s online Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) early and often to progress toward their degree/certificate. DARS is an automatic, real-time tool that keeps track of student progress toward specific certificate/degree programs at MHCC. All classes taken at MHCC, as well as transfer coursework that has been evaluated, are compared to certificate/degree requirements to show the classes still needed to graduate from a specific program. DARS is one of the easiest and beneficial advising tools to use. With DARS students can: • Take the classes needed to graduate and/or transfer on time • Avoid taking unnecessary classes • Run audits for any major without being accepted to the program For more information or assistance on running a DARS audit, visit the MHCC Website at www.mhcc.edu/graduation or contact your adviser.

Catalog Exception Student Petition The MHCC registrar may waive or substitute required courses when mastery of the subject can be documented. A student who wishes to waive or substitute a required class may petition the registrar via a Catalog Exception Student Petition. The form is available at www.mhcc.edu/graduation. Students are advised to discuss the proposed exception with their academic adviser. The program adviser, instructional dean and the registrar must approve the recommendation in that order.

GRADUATION

Degree and Certificate Notes Repeated classes may be counted only once toward graduation unless specified in the class description or unless specifically required in a program curriculum. A maximum of 25 credit hours of ENL courses, numbered 100 or higher, may be applied toward the AAS or AGS degree. A maximum of 15 credit hours of the highest level of ENL courses, numbered 100 or higher, may be applied as electives only toward the AAOT, the ASOT-Business, or the AS degree. Only 200 level ENL courses count as General Education. See General Education list. Please refer to the Course Numbering System and Developmental Education Courses on pages 216 - 217 with regard to courses not applicable toward an MHCC degree or certificate.

Graduation Guidelines and Process

Students earning a certificate or degree from MHCC must process a graduation application with the Admissions, Registration and Records (AR&R) Office. It is strongly recommended students apply two terms before their anticipated completion date (i.e., spring term graduates should apply during fall term). All students who have applied for graduation during the school year are eligible to participate in the June commencement ceremony even if coursework is not done by spring term. All students who apply will have their name printed in the commencement program (as listed in the College’s records system) unless they apply after the third Friday of May or if they have requested their name be excluded. After the deadline, names will be published in the following year’s program. Students must contact AR&R to have their name published a second time if they did not complete and/or participate in the ceremony originally scheduled. Information regarding commencement will be mailed early in spring term to students whose name will be in the program. MHCC also posts this information on the College website. Students who do not attend commencement may pick up or request a degree cover from the AR&R Office.

Students have the choice of following the catalog of the year they began their program or the year they are ending their program. Once enrolled in a career-technical program, if the course of study is interrupted or extended by five years or more, certificate and degree requirements for graduation may have changed. In order to then earn the certificate or degree, the student may be asked to complete current requirements or provide written approval from the program adviser to apply the original coursework toward a certificate or degree.

They may also give permission to release academic records and pictures to coaches representing four-year colleges and to media representatives. Disclosure of education records is allowed when a court approves an application submitted by an Assistant U.S. Attorney General (or higher-ranking 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. 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 students restrict the release of directory information, the above information will not be released. Students will be required to present photo identification or personal identification number (PIN) when they wish to inquire about their own academic or registration history. Information will not be provided to anyone, including persons who claim to be the student, parents, relatives, friends, other students or prospective employers, who may wish to contact the student or verify the student’s status at the College, without written authorization from the student. 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, Registration 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 working days after it is received.

WWW.mhcc.edu

Duration of the restriction 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.

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. 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.

Registration Tampering Altering the registration records of another student without that student’s permission is considered a violation of the student conduct code. See Student Code of Conduct at www.mhcc.edu/coc).

Solomon Amendment Disclosure The Solomon Amendment requires by law that the College release: • Student name • Education level • Address • Academic major • Telephone number • Degrees received • Date of birth Upon request from recruiters of the branches of the U.S. military. If a student requests 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.

Social Security Number Disclosure Use OAR 581-41-460 authorizes MHCC to ask students to provide their social security numbers. Provision of their social security numbers and consent to their use is not required and if students choose not to do so, they will not be denied any right, benefit or privilege provided by law. They may revoke their consent for the use of their social security numbers at any time by contacting the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. The numbers will be used by the College for keeping records, doing research, aggregate reporting and extending credit and collecting debts. Student numbers 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 colleges support the progress of students and their success in the workplace and other educational programs. When conducting studies, MHCC will disclose students’ social security numbers only in a manner that does not permit personal identification by individuals other than representatives of MHCC (or the organization conducting the study for MHCC). By providing their social security numbers, students are consenting to the uses identified below. 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 education and to find out whether community college courses are a good basis for further education. • 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 students by the College. • The National Student 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 students’ social security numbers 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. Students’ numbers will be used only for the purposes listed above. State and federal law protects the privacy of students’ records.

Student Code of Conduct The Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management is assigned the responsibility to administer student discipline through the Student Code of Conduct. The vice president’s or designee’s office will maintain all disciplinary records and a disciplinary tracking system as defined in the Code. It is the policy at Mt. Hood Community College that all persons, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, age, sex, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable state or federal law have access to higher education. Mt. Hood Community College strives to provide an environment that celebrates the freedom to learn. In this commitment to create a learning environment, MHCC’s goal is to treat all students with fairness and dignity. Each member of the College community shares responsibility for maintaining conditions, which support the College’s mission. The Student Code of Conduct is designed to provide basic behavioral guidelines to advance the College’s mission. Students 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 learning. The Student Code of Conduct outlines the standards of behavior expected of every student at Mt. Hood Community College. The policies and procedures outlined have been designed to further the College’s educational mission and to assist students in the pursuit of knowledge and personal development. A person voluntarily becomes a student at Mt. Hood Community College and thereby assumes the obligation of abiding by the

Student Conduct Administrator will cause an investigation to determine if the charges have merit. 3. The Student Conduct Administrator may endeavor, if appropriate, to determine if the charges can be disposed of administratively by mutual consent of the parties involved on a basis acceptable to the Student Conduct Administrator. 4.

The letter will request that the student schedule a hearing time and date within a specific time frame, generally within a two-week period of the receipt of the complaint. 5. The Student Conduct Administrator shall request witnesses and documentation from all parties involved in the complaint. These documents and witnesses will be reviewed, if at all possible, prior to the hearing. Following the hearing, the Student Conduct Administrator may request more information from any of the parties. 6. If a student fails to appear for a hearing, the Student Conduct Administrator has the option of sending the student a reminder of the meeting and a request to schedule another meeting. The Student Conduct Administrator may also charge the delinquent student with another conduct violation, namely a failure to obey the request of a College administrator (see

WWW.mhcc.edu

Article IV, Section 9). The Student Conduct Administrator might also decide to review and decide on the case without the student’s input and appearance. 7. Hearings shall be conducted by the Student Conduct Administrator according to guidelines outlined in the Student Code of Conduct. There shall be a single verbatim record of the proceedings. The record shall be the property of the College, but the accused student(s) or complainant(s) may purchase a copy of the record for a nominal fee, cost and procedure to be outlined in the sanction letter. 8. The complainant and the accused have the right to be assisted by an adviser they choose. Generally the complainant does not appear at the hearing. The accused may request to meet with the complainant at or before the hearing (along with his/her adviser) including the deliberation, and/or know that person or persons identity(ies); the Student Conduct Administrator can deny the accused the option of knowing the identity of the accused if there is a likelihood that there could be reprisals or danger if the identity(ies) is/are known. If the adviser is a person not employed by the College or otherwise associated with the College, this assistance will be at the student’s own expense. (Note: This process is not legal in its nature and students are to seek advisement outside of the legal system. Legal counsel is not a part of the student judicial process at the College). Students have the right to consult with the Associated Student Government president or other officers for information or interpretation of the College’s regulations and procedures. The adviser can ask clarifying questions of any parties at the hearing, and may consult with either the accused student or the complainant. If the person is an attorney, that person may not act in his/her professional capacity in that setting. Parents or guardians may be allowed to a hearing, in the case of a student under 18, who is taking College or high school classes on the campus, or in approved off campus settings. The parent may ask clarifying questions and advise their child, but the accused students must speak on his or her own behalf. In the case of students under 16, the parent may act in a more substantive capacity; the College might also ask the home school, if there is one, to be involved in the hearing. There are no special provisions for legal and special education counsel if the student is under 18 and still under Section 504 or the IDEA provisions of the disability law in the K-12 system. Special provisions do apply for students with disabilities, if a hearing for involuntary withdrawal is called. 9. The Student Conduct Administrator’s determination shall be made on the basis of whether it is more likely than not that the Accused Student violated the Conduct Code. Formal rules of process, procedure, and/or technical rules of evidence, such as are applied in criminal or civil court, are not used in Student Conduct proceedings. 10. The Student Conduct Administrator may accommodate concerns for the particular safety, well-being, and/or fear of confrontation on the part of any of the participants.

The following will be considered grounds for appeal: • A procedural error or irregularity which materially affected the decision. • New evidence of substantive nature not previously available at the time of the hearing that would have materially affected the decision. • Bias on the part of the Student Conduct Administrator, which materially affected the hearing. • The sanction imposed is not commensurate with the findings of fact established during the hearing process. 4. The written appeal will include: • A response to the findings and conclusions of the Student Conduct Administrator. • A response to the sanctions imposed by the Student Conduct Administrator. • A detailed rationale as to why one or more of the four grounds for an appeal (cited earlier in this section of the code) is applicable in this case. • Any evidence and/or information to support the points listed immediately above.

Article VIII: Disciplinary Sanctions In recommending or determining a sanction, the judicial officer will consider all relevant factors including the nature of the offense, the severity of any damage, injury or harm resulting from the offense, and the student’s past disciplinary record, if any. The following are sanctions, which may be imposed for a violation of this Code: 1. Warning: A notice in writing to the student that the student is violating, or has violated, College policy or regulation or the Student Code of Conduct. 2. Disciplinary Probation: A written reprimand for violation of specific regulations or the Code. Restriction of College related activities of individual students or groups of students. Probation is for a designated period of time (no longer than one calendar year) and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary sanctions if the student is found to be violating any college policy, regulation, or the Code during the probationary period. Disciplinary probation may include referral for intervention, screening, and/or treatment. Disciplinary probation may also include defining specific behaviors the student must follow to remain in attendance in class at MHCC. 3. Loss of Privileges: Denial of specified privileges for a designated period of time. 4. Restitution: Compensation for loss, damage or injury. This may take the form of appropriate service and/or monetary or material replacement. 5. Discretionary Sanctions: Work assignments; service to the college or community or other related discretionary assignments; mandated counseling or therapy; trespass from specified College premises; loss of institutional grants or scholarships. The imposition of such sanctions must be related to the nature of the violation.

WWW.mhcc.edu

ARTICLE IX: Interim SANCTIONS

6. Disciplinary Suspension: Separation of the student from the College for a definite period of time after which the student is eligible to return. Conditions for readmission may be specified. A suspended student is not to occupy any portion of the campus (including off-campus centers) and is denied all College privileges, including class attendance, transcript service and any consultation with College officials, except with the express permission of the Student Conduct Administrator. Suspension can be applied for up to one calendar year. A hold will be placed on the student account. 7. College Expulsion: Permanent separation of the student from Mt. Hood Community College. The expelled student is denied all further College privileges. Only the President of the College can apply the sanction of expulsion. 8. If students do not comply with any sanctions a hold will be placed on their account. They will not be able to receive any services from the College, including registration, transcript or graduation programs. The student must meet with the Student Conduct Administrator in order to have a hold removed. The Student Conduct Administrator will decide whether the student has complied with the sanctions.

Article IX: Interim Sanctions In certain circumstances, the Student Conduct Administrator or designee may impose an interim sanction prior to the hearing before the Student Conduct Administrator. 1. For alleged violations of this Code, interim sanctions, including but not limited to interim suspension, limitation of access to designed campus facilities by time and/or location, and limitation of privilege to engage in specified College activities, may be imposed by the Student Conduct Administrator. a. Such restrictions are to be utilized only when there is reason to believe that the student poses a substantial threat to harm oneself or others, damage to College property, or disrupt the stability and continuance of normal college operations and functions. b. During a period of interim suspension, a student may be denied access to the campus (including classes), and to all other College activities or events, which the student might otherwise be eligible to participate in or attend. 2. Prior to imposing an interim sanction for alleged violations of the Code, the contemplating taking action, will meet with the student. If the student cannot make the meeting, a telephone conversation or email or other delivery of the information shall be attempted. a. During the meeting, the student will be informed of his or her alleged violation(s) and of the reasons for the proposed interim sanction. b. After this information is provided, the student will be afforded an opportunity to make a statement regarding the alleged violation(s).

WWW.mhcc.edu

3. If, after hearing the student’s statement the Student Conduct Administrator will decide if implementation of an interim sanction is warranted. The student will be provided with a written notice of interim sanction. An interim sanction will become effective immediately. A written notice will be attempted to be delivered to the student as expediently as possible; a copy of the letter (and possible trespass warrant) will always be sent to the student’s domicile recorded in the Student Information System. 4. Interim sanctions are temporary actions that will be enforced only until such time as a formal conduct hearing and the resulting decision-making process has been completed. The required formal hearing will be provided within a reasonable length of time, which, unless unusual circumstances are present, will be held not later than 10 calendar days from the date the written notice was delivered. 5. During an interim sanction, students will be provided a means of obtaining assignments, presenting assignments to instructors, completing projects and/or taking examinations without penalty. 6. Interim sanctions cannot be appealed prior to the required formal student conduct hearing. 7. Faculty members may remove a student temporarily from a class in concert with Board regulations and the respective faculty bargaining unit contracts. 8. Faculty, Department Chairs, Program Directors and Instructional Deans will work within the guidelines of respective Program handbook guidelines in the process of removing a student on a temporary or permanent basis from an academic program. Generally, the removal or temporary restriction from these programs may relate to safety, ethical/ appropriate conduct or academic or technical concerns. While not part of the Student Conduct process, the Program staff and managers should ensure that appropriate due process is given. The staff in those areas may consult with the Student Conduct Administrator for general advice, and must consult with the College Disability Coordinator if the student has a documented disability or notes one (if it not documented) at the time of a proposed action. A student can be removed from classes or a program on a temporary or permanent basis by program staff, but cannot be removed from other non-program classes at the College. If a student has allegedly committed a violation of the Student Code of Conduct that was a reason for possible removal or restriction from a program, that student may also be referred to the Student Conduct Administrator for possible adjudication.

Article X: Involuntary Withdrawal There may be times when a student should be involuntarily withdrawn from the College for issues including medical, psychiatric, or self or other injurious behavior.

<> STUDENT CAREER-techincal RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES programs

The process for this withdrawal will be as follows: 1. The College will engage in a thorough “threat analysis” which will include statements from staff, medical personnel and others. The analysis will be impartially conducted by an administrator named by Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management. The threat analysis should be completed within five working days. 2. Student Development and Services staff, Disability Services and counselors, but also senior student affairs deans and supervisors, will review the report and ascertain if certain accommodations could assist the student to be more successful in the college environment, with some changes for processes and procedures. This process should take no longer than two working days. The student shall receive a written notice of the concern (sent to their domicile with delivery receipt, but also a copy delivered in person, if possible) and shall be given an opportunity to meet with the Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management or designee in order to listen to the concern, the accommodations suggested plan and to provide additional information. A the end of the session, should the student agree to the processes and procedures, (which could include consultation with medical or other health care personnel), the Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management or designee will send a letter to the student’s domicile with delivery confirmation (letter also delivered to the student in person if possible) outlining the required accommodations, processes and procedures to be followed in order for the student to successfully stay at the College. The student must comply with these accommodations. If the student does not, the College may begin the procedure for involuntary withdrawal. In the letter will also be an option for appeal. The student will have five working days from the receipts of the letter (delivery confirmation) to file and appeal of the letter and its contents to the Vice President for Student Learning. The vice president will review the case, get additional input if needed and make a ruling. A letter from the vice president concerning his/her ruling will be sent to the student at their domicile (also delivered in person if possible) within five working days of receipt of the appeal. There is no appeal of the vice president’s decision. While a decision is under appeal, the student must comply with the decision made by the vice president or his/her designee. A copy of the appeal decision will be sent to the vice president. 3. If the student is unwilling to comply with the accommodations, or if there are no reasonable accommodations to be made, the vice president will convene a body to review a possible involuntary withdrawal of the student. The body will be chaired by the vice president or designee, an Instructional Administrator named by the vice president for student learning, a faculty counselor, a supervisor in the student services area, another faculty member, and the coordinator for Disability Services and/or Health and Wellness coordinator, if appropriate. The student will receive notice by U.S. mail with delivery confirmation (hand delivered if possible).

proceduRe for reporting harassment and/or discrimination

Article X: Disciplinary Files and Records 1. The Office of the Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management or designee will maintain disciplinary records and a disciplinary tracking system, which will include, but not be limited to, the respondent’s name and related information, description of the incident, parties involved, Code violations, sanctions and other data deemed relevant for no less than five years after resolved, except in cases of suspension or expulsion. Such information will be maintained in accordance with the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Disciplinary records will be made available to the Committee on Student Conduct and College officials designated in the Code of Student Conduct. ORS:166-450-0090 (10) 2. Students may arrange to review their own disciplinary records by contacting the Office of the Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management. Except as provided in the Student Code of Conduct and as required by law, the College will not communicate a student’s disciplinary record and related information to any person or agency without the prior written consent of the student; however, the parents or legal guardian of a student who is a minor may be notified. Disciplinary proceedings under the Student Code of Conduct will be private and confidential. 3. With the exception of cases involving suspension and expulsion, disciplinary records will be destroyed not later than five years after a student’s graduation or last recorded quarter of attendance at the College.

Procedure for Reporting Harassment and/or Discrimination Statement of institutional Commitment Mt. Hood Community College’s Right of Freedom from Harassment Policy has the goal of providing an environment that supports students so they may realize their full potential. Mt. Hood Community College values all diverse backgrounds, experiences, special abilities and characteristics students bring to the organization. Harassment is a form of unlawful discrimination, whether it is based on race, religion, age, color, sex, national origin, sexual identity, disability, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable state or federal law. Mt. Hood Community College does not tolerate unlawful harassment in any place of work, instruction, study or recreation.

Recognizing Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is one form of sex discrimination and is defined as any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:

228

1. Submission to such conduct is either implicitly or explicitly made a requirement of employment or participation in an academic program or activity; 2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment or education-related decisions affecting such individual; or 3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work or academic performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment. Sexual harassment may involve someone in authority but can also involve a fellow student or co-worker. Sexual harassment may include: • Telling sexual jokes, • Making unwelcome sexual advances, • Making sexual gestures, • Subjecting someone to unwanted sexual attention, • Attempting to coerce someone into a sexual relationship, • Punishing or threatening to punish someone for refusal to comply, • Implying that sexual favors may be a basis for performance evaluation or for grades in a course.

Responding to Complaints of Sexual Harassment When you feel you have been harassed it is important to remember that there are supportive people at MHCC who are resources for discussing and helping to clarify what constitutes harassment and the action steps you can take. It is important to take action. Tell someone. Not telling someone is silent acceptance of the behavior. Get help if you need it from an instructor, counselor, adviser, dean or vice president. Students may raise complaints of discrimination or sexual harassment through the Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management. To file a complaint, students may seek assistance through the vice president. All complaints of alleged harassment or discrimination are taken seriously. Students are not required to discuss the complaint informally with the alleged perpetrator. You will be asked to describe your specific complaint and how the situation developed, and to note any action you have already taken to resolve the situation. Your complaint will be investigated whether it is received in writing or verbally. Information shared in the complaint process will be kept confidential to the greatest degree possible. Although the complaint process is confidential it may be disclosed to the person you are accusing. All complaints will be investigated and addressed in a timely manner.

Mt. Hood Community college Catalog • 2011 - 2012

Responding To Complaints of Discrimination or Harassment Based on Disability Mt. Hood Community College prohibits harassment or discrimination of another member of the College community on the basis of disability. If you believe that you have been discriminated against based on disability, you are encouraged to file a complaint through the Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management at (503) 491-7316.

Resolving Disability Discrimination Concerns Outside of the College You may file an external complaint of disability discrimination with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, 915 Second Avenue, Room 3310, Seattle, WA 98174-1099, (206) 220- 7900 (v), (206) 220-7887 (fax) www2.ed.gov/ ocr/complaintprocess.html.

No retaliation for Filing a Complaint in Good Faith No student shall be expelled, suspended, disciplined or in any other way retaliated against for having filed a complaint in good faith, about possible violations of law and/or MHCC policy whether or not the charges were sustained. Willfully false accusations of harassment are as serious a matter as unlawful harassment itself and anyone willfully filing a false complaint is subject to discipline. The Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management shall, within 15 days after the first receipt of the complaint, cause an investigation to be made. During the vice president’s investigation she/he shall meet separately with the different parties who may, if they desire, have a representative with them. The vice president may question the instructor, staff member, student, supervisor or any person who has first-hand knowledge of the complaint and/or each party’s representative. The vice president shall, in as timely a manner as possible, specifically inform the student, instructor, and/or staff member, and as appropriate the director of human resources of the results and recommendations of the investigation.
