steps to getting started at mhcc Step 1. Apply for Admission Admissions, Registration and Records office/ Student Services Center; Room AC2253 503-491-7393; www.mhcc.edu/admissions; email: ar@mhcc.edu
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.
STUDENTS AGE 15 AND UNDER 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 – Educational Service District 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
Initial Enrollment
The first step to enroll at MHCC is to complete a Student Admission Form which allows the College to create your student record and give you access to the My MHCC Web portal. The form is available: • On the MHCC website at www.mhcc.edu/admissions • In the lobby of the Student Services Center You may submit the form online or by: • FAX 503-491-7388 • IN-PERSON
At the Student Services Center lobby
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 (General Educational Development) diploma, must follow special admission procedures to enroll.
WWW.MHCC.EDU
• MHCC Admission form This information will be considered in the vice president’s decision-making 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 need 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.
• Complete the MHCC High School Permission form. This form includes the “Release Agreement for Potential Injury and Liability” and is valid for 12 months
Returning Enrollment
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, they may be eligible for financial aid. The Financial Aid office will make the final determination of aid eligibility status based on documentation provided by the student.
UNDER-AGE STUDENTS – NON-CREDIT COURSEWORK
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
Any student under the age of 18 may take Community Education classes, regardless of age, without special approval of MHCC staff. However, their parent or guardian must sign an MHCC Release Agreement for Potential Injury or Liability form. This form is available in the Admissions, Registration and Records office, the Academic Advising and Transfer Center, and the website. This form will be kept on file in the Admissions, Registration and Records office and is valid for 12 months.
• Take the College Placement Test if deemed necessary by the adviser

Students who want to use credits from other colleges to satisfy requirements or prerequisites for requirements for an MHCC degree will need to submit prior official transcripts to the College’s Admissions Registration and Records office. At the time of evaluation, those credits will become part of the total credits used to determine further eligibility for financial aid under the Quantitative Measures Standards of Progress federal regulations.
Financial 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 AC2335 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 math, helps assess students’ academic readiness and will help them choose classes that fit their present skill levels. Students may not have to take the placement test if: • They have transcripted college coursework in reading, writing and/or math. Students should bring a copy of their transcript to the Academic Advising and Transfer Center for assistance
WWW.MHCC.EDU
• They have taken a college placement test (COMPASS, ASSET or Accuplacer) at another college within the last 24 months. Students should bring a copy of their score reports to Testing Services to have their scores evaluated. Students may be asked to take only the math part of the CPT at MHCC. • They are taking any class that carries a proficiency level of “Proficiency Recommended.” The proficiency levels can be found for each class at the end of individual class descriptions. For further information on proficiency levels, visit www.mhcc.edu/proficiency.
Step 4. Attend a Workshop Academic Advising and Transfer Center; Room AC2253 503- 491-7315; www.mhcc.edu/advising
New Students
Workshops are held for new students* at a variety of times. In the workshop, you will learn how to plan your schedule, use the MHCC website and learn how to register for classes. Please bring your CPT (College Placement Test) results and MyMHCC (computer portal) ID and password with you. Reserve a seat in the workshop online at www.mhcc.edu/ advising/workshopregistration.asp.
*Transfer Students
Step 5. Register for Classes Admissions, Registration and Records Office/ Student Services Center; Room AC2253 503-491-7393; www.mhcc.edu/registration; email: ar@mhcc.edu
Registration for classes is available for currently enrolled, returning and new students via the Web and in person, as explained on the MHCC website. Mail-in registration is accepted for Community Education classes only. The quarterly schedule of classes is available on the MHCC website at www.mhcc.edu/schedule. Please use the following checklist to review required steps prior to registration: • New students and students who have not attended MHCC for one year or more must complete the Student Admission form (see step 1) • All students must take the College Placement Test (CPT) if taking any class that carries a proficiency level of “Proficiency Required.” The proficiency levels can be found for each class at the end of individual course descriptions. For further information regarding proficiency levels, visit www.mhcc.edu/proficiency. OR
Students transferring to MHCC from another college must bring college transcripts if they have completed English composition and a math class, both with a grade of “C” or higher to the Academic Advising and Transfer Center or fax to 503-491-7388 so the CPT may be waived. For further information, please contact the Academic Advising and Transfer Center. You may also email questions to Advising.Questions@mhcc.edu.

degrees and general education MATHEMATICS
Associate of Science (AS) All courses in an AS degree are transfer-level courses and will be evaluated course-by-course at the receiving institution toward satisfying major, general education or elective degree requirements. Note, this degree does not guarantee that lower division general education will be fully satisfied upon transfer. This degree articulates well with certain majors such as engineering, biological and physical sciences, and the fine and performing arts that require highly specific lower-division major requirements. There are fewer general education course requirements in the AS degree than in the AAOT degree, allowing students to complete a greater number of major requirements.

Oregon Transfer Module (OTM) The OTM is a set of 45 general education credits recognized by all Oregon community colleges and Oregon University System (OUS) schools, designed for students who wish to transfer. Completion of the OTM can help those students taking courses at multiple post-secondary institutions by ensuring transferability of coursework. This is not a degree or certificate but is documentation on a student’s transcript that they have met a subset of common general education requirements. Note: The OTM is not intended to be a first year of the AAOT degree.
FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Mathematics 1 course in college-level mathematics. Course must have a prerequisite of MTH095 or higher.
Writing
Oral Communication 1 course in the fundamentals of speech or communication

Courses must be from the Introduction to Disciplines areas (Humanities (Arts and Letters), Social Science or Science/ Math/Computer Science).
Complete a minimum of 45 credits. All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 at the time the module is completed. 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. 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. Courses that are designed to prepare students for college-level work are not applicable to the transfer module. In Humanities (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. When choosing courses in science and mathematics, students and advisers should check the specific requirements of receiving schools. Courses that include a laboratory component, or that deal with specific subjects, may be required for majors or degrees. Computer Science courses used in the Math/Science/Computer Science area must meet Oregon Council of Computer Chairs criteria for a science course.

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.

NOTE: Veterans must notify Veterans Services of any changes in their enrollment status (adds, drops, etc.) in addition to processing through the registration office. Failure to do so may result in overpayment of benefits. All enrollment information must be brought to this office before certification to the VA can be made. Students are responsible for providing registration information each term. 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. Satisfactory Progress Standards for Veterans: Veteran students, regardless of the credit hour load, are subject to the same Standards of Academic Progress used by the College for all students attempting nine or more credits per term. Please refer to the Standards of Academic Progress section in this catalog. Veterans Deferred Payment Plan: Initiating VA educational benefits generally takes six to eight weeks. Because of the delay, veterans may apply for Veterans Deferred Payment. Note: Students should see Veterans Services in the lower level of the College Center. Tutorial Assistance: Veterans and dependents needing extra help with class work, who are unable to receive tutoring through the Learning Success Center, may have the cost of hiring a tutor reimbursed by the VA Release of Information.

Veterans Services continually audits the transcripts of each student receiving VA benefits to ensure that a veteran’s work leads toward the stated degree. Any class or grade which does not lead toward that degree will not be eligible for VA benefits. Veterans registering for classes which meet for less than the standard 10- to 11- week session will be certified according to class dates and the number of credits for the class and paid accordingly.

This program is for students considering owning their own business or working for a small business. The Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management program will prepare students for self-employment and careers in small business. The program includes instruction and training in evaluating small business ideas and opportunities, developing skills and understanding the resources necessary to start a business. Anyone can start a business. The problem, however, is that many people don’t know what’s involved, don’t know the risks and don’t have the skills to start and successfully operate a business or work for an already existing business. At the completion of this program, students will not only have a degree, but also will have newly-developed practical skills to feel confident to start and successfully run a small business. This program is directly focused on the practical, hands-on aspects of small business. Success starts here at MHCC.

Computer Information Systems: Health Informatics Statewide Associate of Applied Science Degree Program MHCC Faculty Adviser Dr. Wayne Machuca: 503-491-7631 Room AC2783 Wayne.Machuca@mhcc.edu The Health Informatics program is designed to educate students to fill roles that will facilitate the implementation and support of an electronic health care system. Anticipated growth in the use of electronic health record (EHR) systems is expected to result in
a dramatic increase in demand for health IT professionals in the next few years. Estimates based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Education and independent studies indicate a shortfall over the next five years of approximately 50,000 qualified health IT workers required to meet the needs of hospitals and physicians as they move to adopt electronic health care systems. 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.
Program Outcomes
At the completion of this program, students should be able to: • Execute implementation project plans by installing hardware (as needed) and configuring software to meet practice needs • Incorporate usability principles into software configuration and implementation • Test the software against performance specifications • Interact with the vendors as needed to rectify technical problems that occur during the deployment process • Proactively identify software or hardware incompatibilities • Assist the practice in identifying a data back-up and recovery solution, and ensure the solution is effective • Ensure that the mechanism for hardware/software recovery (e.g., data backup or redundant systems) and related capabilities are appropriately implemented to minimize system downtime • Ensure that privacy and security functions are appropriately configured and activated in hardware and software • Document IT problems and evaluate the effectiveness of problem resolution • Assist end users with the execution of audits • Interact with end users to diagnose IT problems and implement solutions • Document IT problems and evaluate the effectiveness of problem resolution • Support systems security and standards

standards are understood through consultation with employers, market information, career-technical advisory committee members and other data sources. Division deans have final authority over setting said minimum proficiencies. Students must meet college proficiency and prerequisite requirements for all courses included in the approved plan. Occupational proficiency is defined specific to chosen occupations and industry standards.
An interview with an adviser or a faculty member with the careertechnical department is required to determine the student’s career goals as they relate to employability and program content. All MHCC college-level courses are eligible to be included in the certificate. Developmental or basic education courses may not be included as part of the certificate. The curriculum plan is initiated when the student meets with an adviser and completes the form “Individual Student Plan.” The adviser then meets with the applicable division dean to review the plan. Minimum proficiencies and plan contents are reviewed, amended and approved by the division dean. A copy of the approved plan is provided to the student, the adviser and the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. Students must have an approved EST Individual Student Plan on file with the Admissions, Registration and Records Office by the beginning of their final term and this will serve as the petition for certificate completion. It is the responsibility of the student to petition for the certificate. If the student does not complete the course of study after one year, the plan will be purged and the student will need to reinstate another plan.
Listed below are the requirements for all four degrees offered. Questions may be directed to the program adviser as listed for each engineering degree.

These codes are used for insurance and billing purposes. Students completing this certificate can find employment in hospitals, insurance companies, doctors’ offices, professional coding firms, nursing homes, medical group practices, home health agencies, medical clinics and temporary agencies.

TRANSFER - AREAS OF STUDY
transfer – areas of study Transfer Information Mt. Hood Community College is an excellent starting place for students who wish to transfer to a four-year university or college and pursue a bachelor’s degree. MHCC students can complete all or most of the lower-division general education requirements for both public and private four-year colleges and universities. The advantages of starting a four-year program at MHCC include smaller classes, lower costs, instructors’ focus on teaching excellence and the availability of courses for improvement of skills in reading, writing and mathematics.
TRANSFER
Planning for a Successful Transfer Admission, general education, degree and graduation requirements vary among colleges and universities. Therefore, it is vital to plan ahead for transfer by reviewing catalogs and transfer advising guides for the various transfer schools. Planning for transfer is an important part of one’s educational preparation. Success in the transfer process is largely the result of careful planning and attention to the requirements of transfer colleges. Transfer success is a student’s individual responsibility. However, prudent use of available resources and advising can help to ensure a smooth transition to a four-year institution. Students can benefit from following these tips for successful transfer: Plan Ahead: Enroll in HD100: College Success and/or contact an adviser at MHCC to develop an education plan. If you need help with choosing a major or career, enroll in HD110 or HD208, and/or contact the Career Planning and Counseling Center. Maintain Contact: Establish early contact with admissions representatives and major advisers both at MHCC and transfer colleges. Keep in touch with them in order to keep up to date on major and transfer requirements. Know the Rules: Pay attention to GPA and transfer credit policies, application deadlines and both general education and major course requirements of transfer schools. Confirm Transferability of Courses: Not all 100-200 level courses transfer to all four-year schools (refer to page 218 of the MHCC college catalog). It is strongly recommended that students contact the four-year university they plan to attend (immediately) to check admission requirements, deadlines, and the suggested freshman and sophomore classes required in the chosen field. Universities and four-year colleges have the “last say” on transferability.

MT. HOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Utilize Transfer Resources: This catalog, academic advisers (Academic Advising and Transfer Center), MHCC faculty advisers and the annual Transfer Days event are key sources of information and guidance. Ask for Help: Make sure you have current and complete information; check the resources above or ask your transfer/ receiving school directly for what you need to complete the transfer process successfully.
Transfer Departments and Faculty Advisers Students can prepare for transfer at MHCC in many areas of study! These majors may lead toward hundreds of potential careers. Faculty advisers are assigned to assist students with appropriate educational planning, selection of transfer schools and keeping updated on changing requirements and standards. Faculty advisers provide expertise to students majoring in their fields. Lists of advisers for all majors are updated annually and posted to the MHCC website at www.mhcc.edu/progadvisers.
Academic Advising and Transfer Center Many resources can be used to research potential transfer colleges and to learn about their degree programs and requirements Students may use the center’s computers to access Web pages for hundreds of colleges and universities. Regular visits by transfer college representatives also enable MHCC students to make personal inquiries related to their transfer plans.
Transfer Days Each winter term, representatives from colleges and universities visit MHCC for Transfer Days. This conveniently scheduled and located “fair” gives students the opportunity to investigate several colleges at one time. Personal contact with college reps offers a chance to ask for detailed information about transfer subjects and procedures. For information on upcoming Transfer Days, students may contact the Academic Advising and Transfer Center in AC 2253, or call 503-491-7315.
How Should Students Choose a Transfer Degree? Any of the following options can work well if you want to begin your bachelor’s degree at Mt. Hood Community College.
CATALOG • 2012–13
Associate of ArtsOregon Transfer Degree (AAOT) The AAOT degree is designed for students planning to complete an associate’s degree before transferring into a bachelor’s degree program at one of the Oregon’s public university-system schools. OUS schools include University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Eastern Oregon University, Western Oregon University, Southern Oregon University, Portland State University and Oregon Institute of Technology. The AA/OT offers students the flexibility to choose courses that interest them while meeting university lower division general education requirements. Any student having the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree recognized on an official college transcript will have met the lower division General Education requirements of baccalaureate degree programs of any institution in the Oregon University System. Students transferring under this agreement will have junior status for registration purposes. Course, class standing or GPA requirements for specific majors, departments or schools are not necessarily satisfied by an AAOT degree. Students need to be ready for college-level mathematics, writing and science in order to complete the AAOT degree in two years. Students who lack the necessary skills, MHCC offers excellent preparatory courses and tutorial assistance to help students get on track quickly. Although the AAOT provides an excellent structure for many students—particularly those who are unsure of their primary academic focus—it is not ideal for everyone. In particular, it does not articulate well with certain majors such as engineering, biological and physical sciences and the fine and performing arts. Students contemplating these majors cannot easily accommodate their highly-specific prerequisite coursework into the AAOT framework. In general, an AAOT recipient who is pursuing any course of study that is credit-heavy at the major lower- division level may have to take additional lower-division coursework, specific to the major, after transfer. Students contemplating such majors should consult closely with an advisor and may instead want to consider the Associate of Science degree. A limited number of private and out-of-state institutions also accept the AA/OT. These include Concordia University, Pacific University, Warner Pacific College, George Fox University and Marylhurst University in the Portland area, as well as Western Baptist College, BYU - Hawaii, Hawaii Pacific University, Boise State University, Seattle Pacific University and Washington State University - Vancouver. Some of these schools have unique general education requirements that must also be met. Advisers can assist students planning for those courses.
WWW.MHCC.EDU
TRANSFER - AREAS OF STUDY
Associate of Science – Oregon Transfer – Business (ASOT–Business)
Associate of Science (AS) Associate of Science is a state approved associate degree that is intended to prepare students to transfer into an upper division baccalaureate degree program in such areas as Business, Science, Mathematics and Engineering at one of the Oregon’s public university-system schools. Completion of this degree does not guarantee (as does the AAOT and ASOT–business degrees) that lower-division General Education requirements of any institution in the Oregon University System will be fully satisfied. However, all courses approved for an AS degree are transfer-level courses and will be evaluated course-by course at the receiving institution toward satisfying major, general education or elective degree requirements. This degree articulates well with certain majors such as engineering, biological and physical sciences and the fine and performing arts. Students contemplating these majors can more easily accommodate highly-specific major requirements into the AS framework.
WWW.MHCC.EDU
The Associate of General Studies (AGS) The Associate of General Studies degree may be a useful alternative for direct transfer students. This flexible degree option enables a student to complete an associate’s degree that may be tailored to the general education requirements of a transfer school. Students must exercise caution in using the AGS option, as the degree itself does not guarantee course transferability of courses. The AGS degree requirements may include non-transferrable coursework. Educational planning for the Associate of General Studies should be done with the help of an adviser.
The Oregon Transfer Module (OTM) The OTM is a set of 45 general education credits recognized by all Oregon community colleges and Oregon University System (OUS) schools, designed for students who wish to transfer. Completion of the OTM can help those students taking courses at multiple post-secondary institutions by ensuring transferability of coursework. This is not a degree or certificate but is documentation on a student’s transcript that they have met a subset of common general education requirements. In the case of community colleges, these will be courses approved for the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree; in the case of universities and four-year colleges, they will be courses approved for the General Education part of a baccalaureate degree. All courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or better and must be worth at least 3 credits.
Direct Transfer Transferring without a degree from MHCC is also an option for some students. Students in certain majors may need to transfer after one year in order to take advantage of critical major courses offered at the four-year school in the sophomore year. Or, a student may choose to select only the specific courses required for a specific major and/or college. When a student opts for direct transfer, MHCC courses are evaluated and accepted on a course-by-course basis by the transfer school. Students should be aware of their selected schools transfer admission requirements and general education degree requirements. It is each student’s responsibility to learn the program requirements of any prospective transfer school and to keep up to date on changes in those requirements. Therefore, students should periodically contact the transfer schools for updates.

The ASOT–Business degree is designed for students planning to complete an associate’s degree before transferring into a bachelor’s degree program at one of the Oregon’s public university-system schools. OUS schools include University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Eastern Oregon University, Western Oregon University, Southern Oregon University, Portland State University and Oregon Institute of Technology. A student that completes an AS/OT–Business degree and transfers to any institution in the Oregon University System, will have met the lower-division general education requirements for that institution’s baccalaureate degree programs. GPA requirements for entry into the major are not necessarily satisfied by the AS/OT–Bus degree. Once admitted to the university and the Business program, however, students transferring under this agreement will have junior standing for both for the Business major and for university registration purposes. All courses should be aligned with the student's intended program of study and the degree requirements of the baccalaureate institution to which the student plans to transfer. A student is encouraged to work with an advisor in the selection of courses within the ASOT-Business degree for alignment to the institution the student intends to transfer. Students should work with an academic or faculty adviser early in the development of their educational plan.
In selecting courses for this degree, students are highly encouraged to consult the specific faculty adviser and the institution to which they intend to transfer to determine if it is an appropriate choice.

Room AC2662
Economics at MHCC focuses on improving economic literacy - the ability to apply economic principles to personal, business and political issues. Transfer students who follow the Principles of Economics sequence at MHCC report superb preparation for upper division courses in economics. Students also report that economics was one of the most significant classes they took as undergraduates — it taught them how to think critically. Economic majors find jobs in private industry and government. They continue to graduate school in law, political science, economics, business administration and engineering. Economics can provide a student a broad background that can be applied to numerous other areas besides economics.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to: • Explain the basic concepts and principles of economics • Draw correct conclusions from published graphs and statistics of the economy and economic behavior • Verbalize the economic arguments behind current economic policies • Distinguish between domestic and international economic issues The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue an economics degree at a college or university.* To prepare for such a degree and at the same time meet MHCC degree requirements, follow one of the transfer degree options on pages 10-15.

Education If you want to be an elementary or secondary school teacher, you will be making a number of decisions: What age group do you want to teach? What subject do you want to teach? Will you transfer to a school with an undergraduate (four-year/bachelor’s) or graduate (fifth year/master’s) teaching program? Which school do you want to transfer to? The answer to these questions will help determine the appropriate courses to take. MHCC offers a number of education courses to help you determine if teaching is really for you and prepare you for transfer to a fouryear university. Three courses, ED142, ED200 and ED209A/B, are recommended for students who want to more fully explore the profession before beginning an educational program. Please visit the MHCC Education website for additional information: www.mhcc.edu/mhcced.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, the student should be able to: • Demonstrate the reflective practitioner skills of observation and reflection • Provide an educational plan for their preferred Teacher Education program Teaching in the public school system requires a professional license from the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) requiring a bachelor’s or higher degree from an approved university program. TSPC requires particular coursework, tests and experiences depending upon the grade level and subject matter to be taught. Thus Education program requirements vary widely at the baccalaureate level, so a student’s course work must be planned in accordance with his or her chosen transfer institution. It is recommended that students work closely with the MHCC Education faculty adviser and their transfer institution to develop a meaningful course of study at MHCC. Failure

to talk with both the MHCC Education faculty adviser and the transfer institution adviser often results in course credits that are not accepted, missing course requirements, wasted financial aid and time delays. In order to reduce many of these difficulties, students are strongly encouraged to complete an Associate of Arts – Oregon Transfer degree with adviser help. ED142 Education Orientation and ED200 Introduction to Education are courses that should be taken early to help with planning what to take and where to transfer. Depending upon the transfer institution, these two courses are required or strongly suggested. These two courses, plus an early field experience taken as soon as possible, will help confirm that this is the correct profession for you and set you on the correct path. Students interested in teaching at the elementary level (Pre-K to eighth grade) will want to follow a course of study that is multidisciplinary since they will teach many subjects. There are a number of Elementary Teacher Education programs in the Portland area. Eastern Oregon University offers a Bachelor of Science in multidisciplinary studies and elementary education on the MHCC campus. Additional endorsements in Reading and ESOL are possible. See an EOU adviser located on the MHCC campus. See www.mhcc.edu/eoued for more details. Students interested in teaching at the secondary level (middle or high school) will want to follow a course of study that reflects the major area they wish to teach (i.e. math, social science, science, health/PE, language arts, etc.). It is very important to consult with education advisers at both MHCC and the school you wish to transfer to as soon as possible since licensure and university requirements vary. Again ED142 Education Orientation and ED200 Introduction to Education are courses that should be taken early to help with planning what to take and where to transfer. Note: The following is not a complete list of courses needed to complete an AAOT degree, please see MHCC faculty education adviser.

The study of environmental sciences and management equips students with a general understanding of the environmental challenges facing our world. It is an interdisciplinary science that prepares students for positions in a variety of fields including environmental policy, natural resource management, pollution control, conservation, lobbying, environmental education and environmental communication. The Environmental Sciences option provides a strong foundation in mathematics, science and economics, preparing students to deal with environmental systems and human impacts on those systems. The two-year plan of studies listed below is designed to meet the transfer requirements for Portland State University and award the student an Associate of Science from MHCC*. Transfer agreements exist between Mt. Hood Community College and Portland State University that would lead to a bachelor’s degree in environmental science and management - environmental sciences or a bachelor’s degree in environmental science and management - environmental studies. Contact the faculty adviser for further information. However students from MHCC seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions with different requirements. Students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university after MHCC are highly encouraged to consult with the institution they will be attending, then consult with a faculty adviser early to develop an educational plan. Students receiving financial aid must be certificate or degree seeking and must follow official MHCC certificate or degree requirements. *Note that community colleges do not award transfer degrees in a subject area, but do award an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree, an Associate of Science Oregon Transfer – Business degree or an Associate of Science degree.

In today’s globalized world, proficiency in more than one language is necessary, even crucial, for both careers and personal relations. At MHCC, we help students to not only fulfill their degree language requirement, but also to make them more competitive on the job market, here in Oregon and anywhere else. Learning another language can also bring a lifelong source of pleasure, whether from travel, the joy of learning about other cultures or meeting and getting to know other people better. At MHCC, we offer ASL, French1, German1, Italian1, Japanese and Spanish. What’s the “best” language to learn? It’s the one that addresses one’s own strengths, needs and personal interests, as well as one’s career plans. In addition to the many courses we offer in Gresham or online, we are also ready to help students deepen their linguistic abilities and understanding of other cultures by making several exciting study abroad opportunities available each year. These include spring and summer term programs in San Miguel de Allende (Mexico); summer programs in Kyoto (Japan), Perugia (Italy), Guanajuato (Mexico) and Costa Rica (for both Spanish and biology); a fall program in Florence (Italy) and a spring program that may alternate between Paris or London. Some summers, we also offer a three-week, bilateral exchange with a professional school in Stadthagen (Germany). Financial aid packages are available for our students studying abroad.
First Year (Beginning) 101, 102, 103:
At the completion of the first year, students should be able to: • Listening—understand short, learned utterances and some sentence-length utterances • Speaking - Express personal information by relying on learned phrases or re-combinations of these - Manage uncomplicated communicative tasks in straightforward social situations - Ask simple questions or make statements involving learned material • Reading—exhibit sufficient control of the writing system to interpret written language in limited areas of practical need
CATALOG • 2012–13
• Writing—produce material consisting of re-combinations of learned vocabulary and structures into simple sentences on familiar topics
Second Year (Intermediate) 201, 202, 203:
At the completion of the second year, students should be able to: • Listening—sustain comprehension over longer stretches (beyond the sentence level) • Speaking - Express personal information by creating with the language - Initiate, sustain and close a general conversation with a number of strategies - Exhibit evidence of connected discourse, particularly for simple narration and description • Reading—read consistently with increased understanding simple connected texts dealing with a variety of basic and social needs • Writing—demonstrate most practical writing needs including simple letters, paraphrases and summaries of biographical data, work and school experiences The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in a second language at a college or university.* To prepare for such a degree and at the same time meet MHCC degree requirements, follow one of the transfer degree options on pages 10-15.

Philosophers are interested in trying to provide plausible answers to life’s most profound questions. 1. What, ultimately, is going on? Is there a God who created us for some purpose? Must we grasp this purpose and take specific actions or be on the losing side of some great spiritual battle? Is God perhaps merely interested in watching the show? Is nature all there is and God a mere figment of our imaginations? 2. What kind of thing is a human being? Are we creatures of God possessing an immortal soul, or are we merely animals? Were we created by intelligent design, or are we the product solely of naturalistic evolutionary processes? Do we have sufficient freedom of the will to be truly deserving of praise and blame for what we do, or are we only complicated physical systems like computers and storms that are not responsible morally for what they do? 3. How should a human being live? Should I seek mainly my own happiness? How concerned with the welfare of others should I be? How should I treat others and expect others to treat me? It is true that philosophers rarely reach a consensus about which answer is indisputably the right one for any given philosophical question. But it is still the case that, as with other noble pursuits, the connoisseur of ideas can at least identify the few best answers, and from these few he or she can sometimes reach personal closure - an intelligent and informed personal closure. So why let others answer these questions for you? Why settle for being a second-hand person? Isn’t it time to own your mind?
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to: • Identify questions addressed in the three main areas in philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology (including logic) and ethics • Recall some of the contributions of the major philosophers (e.g., Socrates, Plato, Descartes, Kant, Nietzsche, Mill, Rawls, et cetera) • Examine some of the main problems and proposed solutions/criticisms in philosophy, along with the concepts instrumental to participating in the philosophical dialogue regarding these problems • Define the basic vocabulary of logic • Translate an argument from its original context into a more concise and orderly summary (i.e., an argument standardization or diagram) • Distinguish the main valid forms from invalid impostors • Assess the strength of the concise restatement of the argument, with particular attention given to the strength of the inference The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue a philosophy degree at a college or university.* To prepare for such a degree and at the same time meet MHCC degree requirements, follow one of the transfer degree options on pages 10-15.

Why study politics? Many students think political science is “dry” and “boring.” NOTHING could be further from the truth. Politics affects the way you think, eat, dress, socialize and work, so it may be worth knowing about. Once you DO know about it you can begin to 1) understand what is going on around you, and 2) think for yourself. Here’s what students say: “I feel more powerful now knowing what I know,” “it changed my life,” “it was fun!” The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue a political science degree at a college or university.* To prepare for such a degree and at the same time meet MHCC degree requirements, follow one of the transfer degree options on pages 10-15. Students receiving financial aid must be certificate or degree seeking and must follow official MHCC certificate or degree requirements. Admission and degree requirements vary among colleges and universities. Students are advised to: • Contact the transfer university to confirm specific admission/major/degree requirements. • Consult with a faculty adviser or the MHCC Academic Advising and Transfer Center early to develop an educational plan. Specific recommendations are available from the Political Science department. *Note that community colleges do not award transfer degrees in a subject area, but do award an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree, an Associate of Science Oregon Transfer – Business degree or an Associate of Science degree. Each of the political science courses on this page is offered at least once a year at Mt. Hood Community College, and some are available in an online format.

The exploratory curriculum is recommended as a starting place for students who are undecided about a major. The intent of this curriculum is to allow students to actively explore their educational options while also working towards an MHCC degree. Actively exploring educational options involves meeting with a faculty adviser on a regular basis, taking a career planning class and taking exploratory classes. The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue a liberal arts degree at a college or university.* To prepare for such a degree and at the same time meet MHCC degree requirements, follow one of the transfer degree options on pages 10-15. It should be noted that while this curriculum is a good fit for liberal arts degrees, the AAOT does not guarantee junior status for all schools, departments or major requirements with regard to courses or grade point average.
A note on exploratory classes:
A great way to “try out” a major is to take an introductory, or exploratory, class in the area you are interested in. Doing this gives you the opportunity to check out a variety of possible majors; you may even discover, in this process, the one you want to pursue. The guide to exploratory classes below follows the distribution degree requirements for the AAOT and allows a student to sample specific academic areas. The first three quarters we suggest you choose classes that seem the most interesting to you (this is your exploration time). The second three quarters are when you need to make sure you are meeting the rest of the degree requirements if you choose to graduate with an AAOT. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with their faculty adviser (see above) on a quarterly basis.
First Year
Suggested activities for the first year (first - third quarters) • Meet with your faculty adviser each quarter to ensure you are on the right track • Learn about and explore subjects of interest

academic information Admission to Limited and Restricted-Entry Programs 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 221. 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 Resumé 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 requirements, a student must follow the program requirements either for the year the
WWW.MHCC.EDU
student is officially admitted to the program or the year the student is completing the program.
STUDENT PROGRESS Students in limited or restricted-entry programs are expected to complete the curriculum within the normal two-year period. However, a program may be extended 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 process conducted by the student (or
an authorized College employee) in the Admissions, Registration and Records office in the Student Services Center, online or by other processing 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. 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 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 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 may be detrimental to their learning. Any student adding late will be held responsible for all course 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 2012-13 academic year. Please visit www.mhcc.edu/registration to check for the latest updates.
WAIT LISTS BEFORE CLASSES BEGIN A wait list is a record of students interested in adding a class that does not have available seats. The College will take students from wait lists and place them into classes that open up when other students drop, or place them into new classes when, for example, new class sections are opened. If a class is full, a student can choose to go on a wait list. If, while on a wait list, seats become available, students will be added by the Admissions, Registration and Records office until the date a class begins. 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 should remove themselves from any wait list they no longer want to be on and are required to check their wait list or class list status in one of the following ways: online, by phone (503-491-7393) or in person with the staff in the Admissions, Registration and Records office. 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 a student is on multiple wait lists for the same class, the student will be added to the first opening and dropped from all other wait lists.
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. 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.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
DROPPING AND WITHDRAWALS
Students are required to check their wait list or class list status online via MyMHCC (Web portal). 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. Students whose names do not appear on the instructor’s class list are not officially registered and will not receive credit or grades.
ATTENDANCE Students are responsible for their attendance in classes for which they are enrolled. See a specific class syllabus for attendance requirements.
Student attendance is mandatory the first week of a class. Attendance is defined as an academically-related activity which includes any of the following: 1. Physically attending a class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor and students; 2. Submitting an academic assignment; 3. Taking an exam, an interactive tutorial, or computer-assisted instruction; 4. Attending a study group that is assigned by the institution; 5. Participating in an online discussion about academic matters. An academically-related activity for a Distance Education (e.g., online classes through MHCC Blackboard) course includes: Contributing to an online discussion or initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a course-related question.
Administrative Drops
Instructors can authorize the Admissions, Registration and Records office to administratively drop a student due to lack of participation, unmet requisites and/or proficiencies through the end of the fourth week of the term (or equivalent for non-standard length classes). 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. *Mandatory attendance is under review for the 2012-13 academic year. Please visit www.mhcc.edu/registration to check for the latest updates.
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
MT. HOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Dropping and Withdrawing REFUNDS/DROPPING A CLASS
IMPORTANT Mandatory Attendance*
216
because of field trips, students should notify instructors of classes to be missed and, in cooperation with that instructor, make arrangements for completing the work missed. In case of an unsolvable conflict, students will not be penalized for missing the class or the field trip, whichever the case may be. Students whose absences are due to participation in intercollegiate functions and other co-curricular trips arranged by the College will be excused from class attendance but not from the responsibility for the work they miss during their absence for approved functions.
Registration obligates a student to pay tuition and any fees for the class. Refunds are granted when the student (or in some cases, an authorized College official) drops the class within the refund period in one of the following ways: online, by mail, by phone or in person with the staff in the Admissions, Registration and Records office. The refund deadline is the end of the seventh calendar day of the term (or the equivalent for non-standard length classes) and is printed on the student class schedule. Tuition and fee charges will be removed from classes dropped by the refund deadline and the classes will not be recorded on the MHCC transcript. Non-attendance is not a basis for a refund or non-payment of tuition. Students signing a deferment of payments are still liable for paying tuition and fees in the agreed upon time unless they drop the class within the refund period. When students drop after the refund period, tuition charges remain and a “W” for “withdrawn” grade will be assigned in lieu of a grade by the Admissions, Registration and Records office. The status of “W” is not a grading option assigned by an instructor. Students may drop any single class through the Friday of the seventh week of instruction (or equivalent for non-standard length classes). After the seventh week deadline, students may officially withdraw from all classes, but may not drop a single class unless they are only enrolled in one class.
Course Cancellations
Course cancellations by the College will result in a 100 percent refund providing a refund is due.
WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE An official withdrawal from MHCC is defined as withdrawing from (dropping) ALL classes. The deadline to withdraw is the last day of instruction but before final exams. The withdrawal must be received by the Admissions, Registration and Records office in one of the following ways: online, by mail, by phone (at 503-4917393), or in person with the staff in the Admissions, Registration and Records office. Note: After Friday of the seventh week of the term (or equivalent for non-standard length classes), students can only withdraw in person or by calling 503-491-7393.
CATALOG • 2012–13
When students officially withdraw from the College by the seventh calendar day of the term (or the equivalent for non-standard length classes), tuition and fee charges are removed and the classes will not be recorded on the MHCC transcript. When students officially withdraw from the College after the seventh calendar day of the term (or the equivalent for non-standard length classes), tuition and fee charges are not removed and a “W” grade will be assigned by the Admissions, Registration and Records office. The status of "W” is not a grading option assigned by an instructor, as it is not a grade but rather an enrollment (withdrawal) indicator. 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. 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.
EXCEPTIONS Exceptions for late adds, drops, withdrawals and refunds may be considered due to extenuating circumstances beyond the student's control. Requests for exceptions must be in writing and submitted 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, 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. Technology fees provide for changing technological needs of the district. Special Fees: Certain classes require tools, uniforms, equipment, insurance, etc., which are not covered by tuition or course fees.
WWW.MHCC.EDU
BILLING AND COLLECTION
DEFINITION OF TERMS Auditing: Students (no credit or grade) pay in accordance with the tuition/fee schedule. Residency: Determination of residence for admission and other purposes will be made according to the following definitions: Residence is defined as a person’s domicile, his/her true fixed and permanent home and place of habitation. It is the place where one intends to remain, and to which one expects to return when one leaves without intending to establish a new domicile elsewhere. Domicile is not established by mere attendance at the College. A valid driver's license, permit or ID card from Oregon, California, Idaho, Washington or Nevada is required for all students requesting in-state residency. Oregon residency must be established 90 days prior to the first day of class. In-State Student. An American citizen or immigrant who has established residency in Oregon 90 days prior to the beginning of classes. Out-of-State Student. An American citizen or immigrant who has not established residency in Oregon, Washington, California, Idaho or Nevada 90 days prior to the beginning of classes. International Student: A citizen of another country who is in the United States on a visa other than an immigrant visa. Reciprocity. An American citizen or immigrant who has established residency in Washington, California, Idaho or Nevada. Reciprocal students pay in-state tuition. Senior Discounts: MHCC offers a discount on tuition to in-district residents age 62 or older (does not include fees). Many noncredit fee-based Community Education classes are eligible for discounts to MHCC district residents 62 or older. In addition, residents of Oregon, age 65 or older, qualify for free tuition for up to eight credits of transfer level classes taken as an audit grade (does not include fees). For Senior Discount registration details visit www.mhcc.edu/ SeniorDiscounts.
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 or less Note: It is the student’s responsibility to update the College with any change of address.
PAST DUE ACCOUNT Tuition and fees not paid by the published due date are considered past due. The consequences for a past due account are as follows:
WWW.MHCC.EDU
Late payment penalty — Failure to pay tuition/fees or to process an approved Student Installment Payment Note by the due date will result in late payment penalties. A $10 late fee is assessed on charges every 30 days past due with a maximum of $30 each term. A student account that has been assessed one late fee is considered a delinquent account. 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.
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. 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.
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
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 at www.mhcc.edu/petition or you may contact the Admissions, Registration and Records office in the Student Services Center for procedures.

218
MT. HOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
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 10-49 that do not carry credit cannot be applied to any degree or certificate. COURSES NUMBERED 10-49, without a career-technical alpha prefix (see following list) 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 to four-year institutions. However, students should be aware the course or courses may be accepted as elective credit only or not at all if the credits do not fit in the student’s major discipline or major. Transfer acceptability is at the discretion of the receiving institution. Courses identified by the following course alpha prefixes do not normally transfer to a four-year institution. However, specific transfer articulation agreements may exist. The interested student should consult with the appropriate staff at the four-year institution. Up to 12 credits of Career-Technical courses numbered 100 and above may be used as elective credit toward the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree.

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. Upon enrollment, students may request a transcript evaluation from the Admissions, Registration and Records office or online at www. mhcc.edu/TransferEvaluation.aspx if transfer courses are to be applied toward an MHCC certificate or degree. 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
WWW.MHCC.EDU
adviser in the Academic Advising and Transfer Center if students are currently not enrolled for classes at MHCC. Students should send official transcripts to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office., 26000 SE Stark St., Gresham, OR 97030. 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.
Alternative Ways to Earn College Credit 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 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.
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
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
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. 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 office 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.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
GRADES
Grades Grades are not mailed. They are available at my.mhcc.edu. A student’s user name is their MHCC ID number.
Grade Point Average (GPA) A B C D F U
Excellent: four points for each credit hour Above Average: three points for each credit hour Average: two points for each credit hour Below Average: one point for each credit hour Failing: zero points for each credit hour Unsatisfactory: zero points per credit hour
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 MHCC computes GPA using the four-point system and by dividing the total grade points by the total quality credits. Grades are assigned based on work completed at the end of the scheduled class time. Additional work or make-up after the ending date of the class is not justified unless an Incomplete was assigned. 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 complet-
220
MT. HOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ing 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 or athletic scholarships must reregister for these credits above and beyond the hours necessary to maintain benefits.
Pass/Fail Option
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.
S Grade
For evaluation and transferability purposes, the "S" grade is equivalent to a grade of "C" or better.
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.
CATALOG • 2012–13
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 academic term.
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 Honor Society
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 degree and must 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 academic 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 his/her 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.
WWW.MHCC.EDU
The process of auto-awarding certificates and degrees is currently under review. Please visit www.mhcc.edu/graduation for updated information. Students are encouraged to meet with an academic adviser immediately to determine the steps the student can take to raise his/her GPA the following term. The student’s academic status will be adjusted the following term depending on his/her 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 Students are strongly encouraged to meet with an academic adviser to determine the steps the student can take to raise his/ her GPA the next term. The student’s academic status will be adjusted the following term depending on 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 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, he/she 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 he/she will be allowed to enroll the following term.

Records
Catalog Exception Student Petition
For information on the release of student records, refer to pages 222-223.
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 their degree/certificate requirements. Students should utilize the College’s online Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) early and often to verify their 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 indicate the classes still needed to graduate from a specific program. DARS is one of the easiest and most beneficial advising tools available. 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.
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.
Degree Requirements The Associate Degree will be awarded to students who satisfy the following requirements: 1) Complete a minimum of 90 credit hours according to an organized curriculum. (Some programs may require more than 90 credit hours.) 2) Successfully complete all required courses in a careertechnical, general studies, or a transfer degree including the general education requirements 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. 3) Achieve a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher. 4) Maintain a 2.00 grade point average for all courses being applied toward the degree and maintain a 2.00 GPA in the candidate’s major classes (e.g., course prefixes such as DH, FSE, NUR, etc.). 5) Satisfactorily earn 24 credit hours at Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) and be in attendance at MHCC the term in which the degree is completed. Non-traditional credit (College Level Examination Program, Experience-Based Credit, Challenge, etc.) does not satisfy this requirement. If extenuating circumstances prevent a student from being in attendance the last term, the student may petition to take the remaining credits (maximum of nine) at a regionally accredited college or university. This request must be in writing and indicate the school at which the courses will be completed. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain written approval from MHCC of course acceptance prior to enrollment and to send an official transcript to MHCC upon completion of the course work. Complete the application process two terms prior to the term of completion.

GRADUATION
Certificate Requirements The Certificate will be awarded to those students completing a certificate program that requires fewer credit hours than an Associate degree program, provided the other applicable requirements (#2, #3, #4, #5 and #6 above) are met.
2.
Students in a career-technical program have the choice of following the catalog of the year they began their program or the year they are ending their 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.
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 (English as a Non-Native Language) 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. A maximum of nine credit hours of PE185 may be applied to any degree. Please refer to the Course Numbering System and Developmental Education Courses on pages 218 - 219 with regard to courses not applicable toward an MHCC degree or certificate.
Graduation Guidelines and Process
1.
Students earning a certificate or degree from MHCC must
222
process a graduation application with the Admissions, Registration and Records (AR&R) office. It is strongly recommended that 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 academic year are eligible to participate in the June commencement ceremony even if coursework is not completed by spring term. All students who apply will have his/her name printed in the commencement program (as listed in the College’s records system) unless he/she apply applies after the third Friday of April or if he/she has requested his/her name be excluded. After the deadline, names will be published in the following year’s program. Students must contact AR&R to have his/her name published a second time if he/she 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. Please note: If you have requested to prevent disclosure of directory information, your name will not be published in the commencement program book.
MT. HOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Students may complete a program no longer offered by MHCC if, before the program was eliminated, they received an official contract from the College entitling them to completion.
3. 4.
Students should complete the graduation application form available at www.mhcc.edu/graduation and return it to the Student Services Center or mail it to the AR&R office.
Credits from all accredited colleges or universities previously attended that are to apply toward an MHCC certificate or degree must be submitted via official transcripts and be attached to the graduation application or be on file in the AR&R office.
5.
The AR&R Office will evaluate the application and notify the student with a written evaluation of progress. Students should work with their advisers for educational planning in completing the requirements.
6.
7.
Final review and approval of the certificate/degree application is done after the student’s anticipated term of completion and after final grades have been posted. Degrees will be mailed to the student two to four weeks after the end of the term of completion except for spring term, which takes four to six weeks. Students who apply for a certificate or degree after it has been earned will not have to wait until the end of a term for the certificate or degree to be sent or awarded. These will be processed on a first come, first serve basis along with all other applications.
Incomplete applications for graduation will remain in the AR&R office for a period of one year from the last term in which there is certificate/degree coursework or one year from the date of application (for those students no longer in attendance at the time of application). After that time, the student will need to re-apply for graduation.
The process of auto-awarding certificates and degrees is currently under review. Please visit www.mhcc.edu/graduation/ for updated information.
Release of Information Educational Records Policy The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights regarding their education records. They are:
CATALOG • 2012–13
• The right to inspect and review the student’s records. The student may request to review his/her records by submitting a written request to the Admissions, Registration and Records office or other school official having custody of such records. • The right to seek amendment of the student’s records that the student believes are inaccurate, misleading or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights. Requests for amendment of records must be in writing and must describe the specific portions or specific record(s) the student wishes to have amended, text or instructions as to the change desired and the reasons why the change is justified. • The right to consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except for when consent is not required by FERPA. FERPA does not require a student’s consent when in connection with an emergency if knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health and safety of the student or other individuals, when the records are requested by a lawfully issued subpoena and when disclosure is to other school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research or support staff position; a person or company with whom the College has contracted or appointed as its agent; or a student serving on an official committee or assisting another school official in performing the official’s tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his/ her professional responsibilities. FERPA also allows colleges to disclose a student’s directory information without consent, but the student may request that his/her directory information not be released. If the student wishes to make such a request, he/she must do so according to procedures outlined in Directory Information Restriction (see below). • The right to file a complaint with the Department of Education, Family Compliance Office, concerning alleged failures by the College to comply with the requirements for FERPA.
Directory Information MHCC has chosen to release limited Directory Information as defined in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The following information is considered to be MHCC directory information and may be released by the College Registrar or designee upon request: • Student’s current enrollment status • Student’s name • Student’s identification number (which is also the employee ID number when an employee is a current or former MHCC student) • Verification of certificate or degree earned • Whether student is participating in officially recognized sports; and height and weight of members of athletic teams
WWW.MHCC.EDU
The process of auto-awarding certificates and degrees is currently under review. Please visit www.mhcc.edu/graduation for updated information. Students are employed in some areas of the College as work study and student aides, and before any access to student records is given to them, they receive FERPA information and sign off on the institutional statement of understanding form that validates they have been given and understand FERPA requirements. Exceptions to this limited release may include but are not limited to: (1) MHCC may release alumni names and addresses to the Alumni Office for their communication with MHCC graduates. Alumni are defined as students having graduated from MHCC whether currently enrolled or not, (2) MHCC may release the names of students making the Vice President’s and President’s Lists, Academic or Athletic Honors/ Awards or information to hometown newspapers of students attending the College and (3) student athletes may sign a special release of information form through the Athletic department for the release of information regarding their registration activity, grades and access to their permanent record by their coach or the dean of health and physical education/athletic director. They may also give permission to release academic records and photographs 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. 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 preceding 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. Your request
WWW.MHCC.EDU
to place or remove the restriction is effective no later than two working days after the completed form has been received by the Admissions, Registration and Records office. Duration of the restriction The restriction of information is permanent until the student requests, in writing, that it be removed. The restriction will remain in place even after the student has stopped attending MHCC or 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 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 that this information not be released, MHCC will not release to military recruiters or other parties except as specified in this notification or upon written permission from the student.
Social Security Number Disclosure Use OAR 581-41-460 authorizes MHCC to ask students to provide his/ her social security number. Provision of 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 will be provided by the College to the Oregon Community College Unified Reporting System (OCCURS), which is a group comprised 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 and MHCC student ID numbers 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 and MHCC student ID 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 standards prescribed in the Student Code of Conduct. The College, generally through the office of the vice president for Student Success and Enrollment Management, maintains the authority to impose sanctions for behaviors that violate the Student Code of Conduct. The College has an interest in behavior, subject to the Student Code of Conduct, separate from that of the civil or criminal authorities and, therefore, has the right and responsibility to exercise its jurisdiction and take such action as is appropriate to protect its interest. Whenever appropriate, the College may report a discipline matter to civil or criminal authorities.

WWW.MHCC.EDU
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 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 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 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 age 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 his/her child, but the accused students must speak on his or her own behalf. In the case of students under age 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 age18 and still under Section 504 or the IDEA provisions of the disability law in the K-12 system. Special provisions 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 those 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. 11. After the hearing, the Student Conduct Administrator shall determine whether the student has violated any section of the Student Code of Conduct. The Student Conduct Administrator may recommend disciplinary action. The student shall be notified in writing, within 14 calendar days of the determination, of the following: • The findings and conclusion made as a result of the investigation • The discipline, if any, that is intended • The student may accept the disciplinary action or appeal the action to the Committee on Student Conduct. The disciplinary action is in force until the appeal is completed
Article VI: Appeals

The student may request an appeal, in writing, before the Committee on Student Conduct by filing, within 10 calendar days of receipt of notice of guilt and sanctions from a hearing (as verified by a U.S. Postal Service return receipt) by requesting a written request for appeal at the Office of the Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Management.

b. After this information is provided, the student will be afforded an opportunity to make a statement regarding the alleged violation(s). 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. 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. 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. Interim sanctions cannot be appealed prior to the required formal student conduct hearing. Faculty members may remove a student temporarily from a class in concert with board regulations and the respective faculty bargaining unit contracts. 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 is 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. 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 the 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 provide additional information. At the end of the session, if the student agrees with 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 an appeal of the letter and its contents to the vice president for Student Success and Enrollment Management. 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.

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 Success and Enrollment Management, 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).

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.

MT. HOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
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: 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.
CATALOG • 2012–13
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.
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 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 firsthand 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.
