HOW TO APPLY First time financial aid applicants: • Online: fafsa.ed.gov Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) must be requested and received before filing electronically. If the PIN is not supplied at the time of electronic filing, the information can be saved while waiting for the PIN or a physical signature page must be printed, signed and submitted by regular mail.
OR
• Paper: complete a PDF FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Forms for this option are available at fafsa.ed.gov.
Previous Financial Aid Recipients
Students will usually receive a Renewal Application by mail sometime before Jan. 1 of each year. Online renewal forms are available by logging onto the fafsa.ed.gov website using a PIN. To ensure that the FAFSA results are sent to all colleges desired, the applicant must enter school codes or complete addresses for prospective colleges. The MHCC school code is 003204.
Conditions for Awards The following three items are the key conditions reviewed when awarding financial aid: 1. The size of the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The FAFSA information is used to calculate this number. This number is used to determine eligibility for most types of financial aid.
2. The budget of the student while in college 3. Availability of the types of aid
Application Verification
All schools and colleges must verify some of the data of FAFSA applications. Examples of verification materials required are: Tax transcript from the IRS for some FAFSA submitters, family’s proof of untaxed agency income or benefits (Social Security, TANF, subsidized housing, etc.). 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 his or her account and will be used directly to pay tuition and fees. Any remaining aid will be disbursed by the preference selected when the student activates his or her 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.

College Tuition/Fee
The MHCC District Board of Education sets tuition and fee rates and reserves the right to make changes without notice. The amount of tuition is determined by residency and by the number of credit hours. Some classes require an additional course fee. There may be other types of fees assessed as well. A full description of tuition and fees are listed on the Web.

college’s Accounts Receivable department by the first day of the term. Ultimately the student is responsible for payment of all unpaid charges, including late fees and third party service fees.
Proper course placement is vital to student success. You are highly encouraged to review the resources available at mhcc. edu/testing.
Payment Types
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.
All payments must be made in U.S. funds. Acceptable payment types include: cash, money order, check, e-check (electronic check), American Express, Discover, MasterCard and VISA.
Payment for all tuition and fees is due on or before the published due date, usually the first day of the term. All charges must be paid in full before registering for another term.
Payment Options
The college has five options available for payment. No other payment arrangements are available. 1. Pay all tuition and fees by the first day of the term If a student registers after the term begins, payment is due the day of registration. This includes classes added from wait lists. 2. Student Installment Payment Note Eligible students may enroll in a deferred payment plan. After a down payment, students may defer paying the balance of their charges in installments. Eligibility, due dates and instructions are available at mhcc.edu/pmtplans/. 3. Veterans Deferral Note Students with a VA certificate of eligibility (COE) or Tuition Assistance (TA) or in the process of obtaining a COE or TA may use a veteran deferral note. Qualified students must contact the Veteran Services Office located in Room AC1152 for further information or to complete this form. 4. Financial Aid/Scholarship If financial aid is not available by the first day of the term or does not completely cover tuition, select option 1 or 2 in the preceding text. If a balance remains on a student account past the due date, the account is subject to late fees and collection costs. 5. Agency or Company Arrangements for payment by an agency or company must be pre-approved by the college. The student is responsible for ensuring that a payment authorization is on file in the

degrees and general education MATHEMATICS
Associate of Science Degree (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.
FOUNDATIONAL REQUIREMENTS Mathematics 1 course in college-level mathematics with a grade of "C" or better; course must have a prerequisite of MTH095 or higher credits:

degrees and general education MATHEMATICS
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 credits:

Complete electives to reach a total of 45 credits. Courses must be from the Introduction to Disciplines areas (Humanities (Arts and Letters), Social Science or Science/Mathematics/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. 3. Achieve an MHCC cumulative grade point average GPA of 2.00 or higher.
5. Satisfactorily earn 24 credit hours at MHCC and be in attendance at MHCC the term in which the certificate is completed. Non-traditional credit (College Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement Program, Challenge, Experience-Based Credit, International Baccalaureate) does not satisfy this requirement. 6. Complete the application process two quarters prior to the quarter of completion (i.e., spring term graduates must apply during fall term).
Career Pathway Certificate of Completion Career Pathway Certificate of Completion programs (12-44 credits) acknowledge proficiency in technical skill occupation and are a “stepping stone” toward completion of an Associate of Applied Science degree. The purpose and intent for a Career Pathway Certificate of Completion: • Acknowledges a specific technical skill proficiency to help a student qualify for a job or enhance employment opportunities • Provides skill competencies tied to a specific occupation or job in demand in local or state economies • Provides a credential for a segment of a program • Centers on needs of students by providing educational options • Provides the flexibility to achieve specific competencies within an aligned career path or program of study
4. Maintain a 2.00 GPA for all courses being applied toward the certificate and maintain a 2.00 GPA in the candidate’s major classes.

STUDENT RESOURCES To borrow library materials, it is necessary to have an MHCC Activity Card. This card can be obtained from the library, is free of charge and can be acquired at any time throughout the term. An MHCC Activity Card is valid as long as the student is enrolled. The MHCC library also provides services to eligible community members and local high school students. (Please note that college regulations require all persons under 18 to be accompanied by a parent unless the minor is enrolled in a college course.) At the Maywood Campus, the Learning Commons includes a library with a computer lab. The Maywood Learning Commons offers quiet study, access to the library collection and support from an on-site Learning Specialist who can coach you on study skills and help you find additional academic resources and strategies for success.
MHCC Activity Card Student Union (Room AC1051); Library (Room AC2300)
The MHCC Activity Card is used to identify students and must be presented to ensure student access to college services and areas such as the computer labs, Aquatic Center and library. An individual receiving an MHCC Activity Card must currently be registered for classes at MHCC. Individuals who cannot have pictures taken for religious reasons may receive an MHCC Activity Card with a blank silhouette. These individuals must present two forms of identification when presenting the MHCC Activity Card. Although care has been taken to ensure the accuracy of the information on each MHCC Activity Card, its intended use is for college activities only. It is not to be used as a substitute for a state or federally issued photo identification card. The MHCC Activity Card service is available at the Student Union (Room AC1051) and the library (Room AC2300).

Veterans Services 503-491-7346; Room AC1152 mhcc.edu/veterans; veteran.services@mhcc.edu
MHCC is approved as a veterans training institution by the Veterans Administration. The Veteran Services Office, located in Room AC1152 on the main mall level of the Gresham Campus, provides a one stop, centrally located office to assist students with veteran related issues. This office handles all Veteran Affairs (VA) educational paperwork and certification for education benefits through the VA. We can also provide you referral to federal, state and local resources and services supporting veterans and their families. By federal law this office must audit all transcripts and schedules for students receiving education benefits to ensure course applicability and satisfactory academic progression. Any class or grade that does not apply to the degree/certificate declared on a student’s VA file cannot be certified for veterans educational benefits. Classes are certified to the VA for the actual date span and credit count of the individual classes regardless of term dates. All educational benefit payments from the VA will be based on this information. Please contact this office for further information. VETERANS MUST NOTIFY THIS OFFICE TO HAVE THEIR CLASSES CERTIFIED FOR BENEFITS. Qualified students must inform this office of any and all enrollment changes (drops, adds, etc.) in addition to processing through the Registration Office. Failure to do so may result in either an overpayment or underpayment of benefits. All enrollment information and required paperwork must be brought to the Veteran Services Office in person before a certification can be made. Students are responsible for providing this information every term. Standards of Academic Progress for VA students: Students collecting VA benefits, regardless of class load, must maintain a 2.00 session GPA, and are subject to the same standards of academic progress used by the college for all students. EXCEPTION: All “W,” “U,” “I,” “K” and unearned “F” grades will be reported to the VA and may result in an overpayment. CH33 Post 9/11 only – Financial Aid funds pay your tuition and fees until the VA pays them. Tuition and fees are not reported to the VA until after the drop/add period to avoid overpayments and underpayments. If you drop a class after the drop date you will be responsible to repay the VA for any overpayments in tuition, fees, book monies and BAH. Veterans Deferred Payment Plan: A deferral plan for VA eligible students is available through the Veteran Services Office. This form must be completed every term to receive the deferral.

In this program, each term provides additional skills that will prepare students for entry-level positions. Skills from data entry, use of basic accounting systems, business terminology, payroll processing, technology and spreadsheets are just a few that prepare students for jobs. The longer students stay in the program, the more qualified they become to assume additional job responsibilities and be rewarded for performing even more challenging job responsibilities.

Students wanting to pursue both two-year and four-year degrees should speak with a faculty adviser.

The Networking and CyberSecurity program will both introduce new students and develop existing professionals to the rapidly expanding and important world of CyberSecurity (also known as ’Information Assurance’ or ’Trustworthy Computing’). The design of this program will prepare students to sit for several progressively challenging industry recognized certifications. Students will be exposed to solid hardware and software repair, network development and implementation, various security techniques, perimeter defense, cryptography, business continuity and disaster recovery, and ethical hacking. Students in this program will have opportunity to participate in team competitions against colleges nationwide. This program is designed to train students for and guide them toward a number of industry recognized certifications such as CCNA, CompTIA, EC-Council and others. This design allows students with no training to work toward recognized skill sets, and will support encumbered and displaced computer technical workers to attain security skills appropriate to enhance their career options. Career opportunities for CyberSecurity professionals are varied and immediate. The National Initiative for CyberSecurity Education (NICE) has identified dozens of job titles which require security skills (see csrc.nist.gov/nice/framework/). Additionally, projections are that by the end of the decade, all or nearly all intermediate level computer technical, developmental or implementation careers will require some level of security training. Recommended program prerequisites are: CIS100 Careers in Computers, CIS120 Computer Concepts I, CIS120L Computer Concepts I Lab, or equivalent skill.

Dental Hygiene Associate of Applied Science Degree Program MHCC Faculty Adviser Raye Ann Yapp: 503-491-7128 Rayeann.Yapp@mhcc.edu
Room AC2724
The Dental Hygiene program at Mt. Hood Community College is six quarters in length, leading to an associate degree. Academic instruction in basic and dental sciences is integrated with instruction in dental hygiene therapy, expanded functions and restorative dental procedures, dental procedures and work in clinical settings to provide a total learning experience for the dental hygiene student. Having completed the program and passed National and Regional Board examinations for dental hygienists, the graduate can be licensed to practice. Some institutions and agencies require a baccalaureate degree for employment. To this end, many courses in the Mt. Hood Community College dental hygiene curriculum are transferable to four-year colleges and can be applied toward a bachelor’s degree. Program Outcomes At the completion of this program, students should be able to: • Effectively assess, plan, implement and evaluate current dental hygiene services • Develop appropriate decision making skills and utilize professional judgment, conduct and ethics to provide optimum patient care • Promote innovative approaches to problem solving and critical thinking that stimulate independence and responsibility • Work effectively with diverse populations as members of the healthcare team • Actively participate and lead in community activities and professional associations Prospective students must satisfactorily meet admission program criteria and the application deadline to be considered for admission. Application packets are available on our website at mhcc. edu/LRadmissions. Information sessions are also offered on a regular basis. The information sessions are listed in the application packets and on the website. Once you have read the application materials and attended an information session, you may call 503-491-7341 if you have questions about the admission process.
Employment Opportunities/Personal Aptitude Areas of employment open to dental hygienists include private dental offices or clinics, industrial dental programs, public health, etc. Salaries vary and are commensurate with experience and scope of responsibilities. Opportunities for dental hygienists are excellent. The personal requirements necessary to succeed as a dental hygienist begin with a strong belief in the importance of good oral health and include an aptitude for the biological sciences. Of prime importance are manual dexterity, high ethical standards, a genuine interest in science and an ability to work with people. Note: Prior to entry into the Dental Hygiene program, students must satisfactorily complete CH104, CH105 and CH106; BI121, BI122 and BI234; and WR121 or the equivalent. CH104 and BI121 must be completed prior to the application deadline. During the program, students must maintain a “C” grade or better in all courses to progress toward graduation and professional licensure. Although BI121 and BI122 is the anatomy and physiology sequence currently required, students are encouraged to enroll in BI231, BI232 and BI233. This more advanced series fulfills the anatomy and physiology requirement and may transfer more readily for advanced degrees. (The next application period is for 201415 entry and program application prerequisites and requirements may change; please check the application website at mhcc.edu/ LRAdmissions for the most current information.) All classes outside the core curriculum (those not preceded by DH) except general pathology may be taken prior to admission to the Dental Hygiene program. Four credits of a mathematics course with a grade of "C" or higher (MTH065 or higher) must be transcripted before graduation. Please see page 20 for more details about the general education requirements of the Associate of Applied Science degree. To receive additional points on your application, a 100-level or higher mathematics course must be completed (excluding MTH211). Please check the MHCC website for any curricular changes that have occurred since the catalog was published. Some courses may be offered via distance learning.

Minimum Proficiencies Students must demonstrate minimum proficiencies defined by college and/or industry standards, whichever is most applicable, beneficial to the student and academically sound. Industry 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 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. Planning a Curriculum - Creating a Certificate Before beginning a curriculum, students are required to have a pre-approved plan in place. 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 Individual Student Plan form. 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.

Medical billing specialists are vital for the efficient management of all aspects of billing. A medical billing specialist’s responsibilities can include expert management of healthcare billing-processing, adjusting and resubmitting of claims; adherence to current healthcare industry regulations and policies; and compliance with insurance procedures and allotted benefit coverage. Billing specialists understand the information on identification cards, distinguish between Medicare and Medicaid and understand Blue Cross/Blue Shield coverage and workers’ compensation benefits. A claims analyst uses the same skills as a billing specialist. The duties of a claims analyst may include overseeing claims processing and payments to third-party providers, monitoring charges and verifying correct payment of claims, sending denial letters on claims and sending follow-up requests for information. The claims analyst reviews payment reports for accuracy and compliance. Medical billing specialists/claims analysts can work in hospitals, insurance companies, doctors’ offices, medical billing companies, nursing homes, medical group practices, home health agencies and medical clinics. Students who complete this shorter term Medical Billing/Claims Analyst program can go to work and return at any time to complete the Medical Office Specialist AAS 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. Students who complete this shorter term Medical Office Coding program can go to work and return at any time to complete the Medical Office Specialist AAS degree.

Transfer Information
TRANSFER
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.
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 229 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.

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 • 2014–15
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.
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.
Associate of Science – Oregon Transfer – Business (ASOT–Business) The Associate of General Studies (AGS)
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.
MHCC.EDU
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.

TRANSFER
The ASOT–Business degree is designed for students planning to complete an associate 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.

Economics For information, call 503-491-7515 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. Students receiving financial aid must be seeking a certificate or degree and following 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 Note: 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.

Education MHCC Faculty Adviser Myranda Doering: 503-491-7427 Room AC3334E Myranda.Doering@mhcc.edu 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.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, students 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 coursework 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 (EOU) 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 MHCC’s Gresham Campus. See 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 at 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.

Geology is the study of the Earth. It seeks to describe, classify and analyze the Earth’s physical and chemical characteristics and catalog the history of Earth and past life forms. Geologists examine land forms and rocks to discover how the Earth has formed and changed over time. Geology involves the investigation of Earth hazards, resources and environment as well as solutions to these problems.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to: • Demonstrate mastery of discipline-specific fundamental geologic concepts • Utilize the method of scientific inquiry with respect to geosciences • Communicate ideas and views regarding the geosciences as these relate to current issues and daily life • Acquire the ability to analyze, synthesize and evaluate geologic data and information • Apply geologic knowledge and skills to a range of problems and propose scientifically reasonable and acceptable solutions • Demonstrate technical skills in the collection and analysis of geologic data in field and laboratory settings

History majors systematically observe and document the past. A history degree can lead to a career teaching history, or to founding or managing a business, or reporting the news, or managing an archive, or government, law and other professions. Corporate management trainers report liberal arts majors advance further in business careers than students with other majors, and recent figures show that students majoring in history score especially well in entrance examinations for Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs and law school.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to: • Identify and analyze major events and developments of significant cultures and civilizations • Identify and analyze the interrelationships of selected social, cultural, political, economic and geographic systems • Recognize the effects of historical events upon subsequent issues and situations • Demonstrate basic competence in geography and discuss the effects of geography upon historical events • Use basic tools of historical inquiry - especially the practice of finding evidence, weighing its importance and validity and applying it to a historical problem • Recognize different interpretations of historical events The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue a history 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. Note: 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. Nine MHCC history courses (the Western Civilization series: HST101-103; the World History series: HST110-112; and the American History series: HST201-203) will transfer directly to Oregon’s public universities as history credit; each may be taken individually or as part of a sequence. All other MHCC history courses transfer as social sciences distribution requirements or as social science electives. As transfer policies differ, it is vital to check with the transfer institution directly for specific information. Each of the history courses listed below is offered at least once a year at MHCC and several are available in an independent study format.

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 in 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 American Sign Language (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 on campus and 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 a winter program in San Isidro del General (Costa Rica); summer programs in Kyoto (Japan) and Costa Rica (for both Spanish and biology); a fall program in Florence (Italy) and a spring program that may alternate between Barcelona, Spain or London, England. 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
CATALOG • 2014–15
- 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 • 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. Students receiving financial aid must be seeking a certificate or degree and following official MHCC certificate or degree requirements.

Philosophy MHCC Faculty Adviser Chris Jackson: 503-491-7284 Chris.Jackson@mhcc.edu
Room AC2672
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 and Rawls) • 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)

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.

Understanding Course Requirements At Mt. Hood Community College, we are committed to your success. The College Placement Test (CPT) is an important part of that commitment. All new degree-seeking students who do not have transferable reading, writing and/or math credits from another institution must take the CPT. For more information visit mhcc.edu/CPT. The CPT measures reading comprehension, knowledge of English grammar and skills in mathematics. The test is required if you wish to enroll in courses that have reading, writing and/or math prerequisites. Many MHCC courses do have these prerequisites; course requirements can be found at the end of each course description in the pages to follow or in the schedule of classes at mhcc.edu/schedule. Reading, writing and mathematics prerequisites are satisfied by completed coursework and/or the appropriate level of CPT exam scores.

Billing and Collection TYPES OF FEES Access Fee: This fee provides for safety and security of all college properties and provides subsidies to encourage the use of public transportation. It is assessed each term to students registered for a minimum of one credit. 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.
DEFINITION OF TERMS Auditing: (no credit or grade) Students pay in accordance with the tuition/fee schedule.
MHCC.EDU
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 identification (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 non-credit, 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 mhcc.edu/SeniorDiscounts.
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
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: 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 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
STUDENT ACCOUNT STATEMENTS Account information is available online. Students are notified via email to view their electronic statement around the last week of each month. Statements are: • A courtesy • An account of activity for the previous 30 days • Emailed to the email address on file. Note: It is the student’s responsibility to update the college with a current email address.
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: 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 nationallyrecognized 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.

REFUNDS
Student Rights
Students will receive a 100 percent removal of tuition charges and refundable fees for classes dropped via MyMHCC, phone or in person in 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 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 students who do not receive financial aid 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 no later than 90 days after the term in which they are petitioning. A petition form and instructions are available at mhcc.edu/petition or you may contact the Admissions, Registration and Records Office in the Student Services Center for procedures.

Courses CREDIT FOR COURSEWORK The regular academic year is divided into three quarters of approximately 11 weeks each. One credit is generally allowed for each discussion or laboratory period per week. The discussion period consists of 50 minutes of lecture or discussion; the laboratory period may consist of two or more clock hours. Summer session usually includes terms of 12, 10, eight and five weeks, with class periods proportionately extended. For each period of lecture or discussion, students are expected to spend at least two hours on outside preparation. An average course load of 15 credits per quarter will normally give a student sufficient hours of credit to graduate in two years. These hours should be chosen according to an organized curriculum. No student may take more than 20 hours per quarter without approval. See the Academic Advising and Transfer Center for an overload petition form prior to registration.
Course Numbering System COURSES NUMBERED 1-4 (not section numbers) do not carry grades or credit. Tuition is charged per clock hour. COURSES NUMBERED 5-9 may be graded (letter grade) or ungraded (pass/fail) or audit only. These courses may be credit or noncredit. Courses numbered 5-9 may not be applied toward an MHCC degree or certificate unless stated in specific AAS curricula. 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 on page 229.

Transferring from MHCC
Transcripts can be ordered online and students can meet with transfer advisors on campus in the academic advising and transfer center. MHCC participates in a Reverse Transfer Program with many Oregon Universities. For information on this program please visit mhcc.edu/reversetransfer. Transfer institutions frequently visit the college. Please visit mhcc.edu/advising for a schedule of hours and transfer school visits.
Transferring to MHCC
MHCC accepts 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 to MHCC, students should submit an official transcript from all institutions attended to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office. Upon completion of the certificate or degree program, the number of transfer credits applied toward completion will be recorded on the MHCC student transcript. Transfer GPA is not calculated into the MHCC record. Once evaluated, transfer credit remains as part of the student’s permanent record. All coursework will be evaluated and documented on the student transcript, including all attempted credit. Unofficial transcript evaluations can be done for advising/educational plans by an academic adviser in the Academic Advising and Transfer Center. MHCC can receive official transcripts from transfer institutions to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office at 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 (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, 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.

Alternative Ways to Earn College Credit
High School Dual Credit – College Now is MHCC’s dual credit program. In cooperation with local high schools, MHCC offers students the opportunity to earn lower-division transfer credit and career-technical credit through this program. A complete list of high schools and courses approved to earn MHCC credit is available on the MHCC website. Earned credit will be transcripted to an MHCC permanent record. Credit transfer acceptability is at the discretion of the receiving institution. For more information on MHCC’s College Now Program visit mhcc.edu/collegenow.
Credit for Prior Learning
MHCC provides a number of ways a student may earn credit toward a degree or certificate in addition to classroom experience: Advanced Placement (AP) Program, Challenge, College Level Examination Program (CLEP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and Credit for Prior Certification (Apprenticeship Technologies only). No more than 25 percent of credits applied toward a degree and/or certificate may be earned via Credit for Prior Learning. For information on how to earn Credit for Prior Learning visit mhcc.edu/ creditalternatives or contact the office of Admissions, Registration and Records (503-491-7393), or the Academic Advising and Transfer Center (503-491-7315). Credit for Prior Certification: (Apprenticeship Technologies only) The Oregon State Bureau of Labor and Industry journeyman’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. For additional information on Apprenticeship Degree and Certificate opportunities, visit mhcc.edu/apprenticeship.
Grades Grades are not mailed. They are available at my.mhcc.edu/ ics. A student’s user name is his or her MHCC ID number
Grade Point Average (GPA) A Excellent: four points for each credit hour B Above Average: three points for each credit hour C Average: two points for each credit hour D Below Average: one point for each credit hour F Failing: zero points for each credit hour U Unsatisfactory: zero points per credit hour 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.
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. Students do not need to re-register for the class when fulfilling incomplete requirements. Incompletes are to be made up prior to the end of the following term. Students no longer enrolled must complete the coursework within a four-quarter maximum (including summer). 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
230
MT. HOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
CATALOG • 2014–15
must reregister, repay and pass the class satisfactorily to receive credit. The "K" grade remains on the transcript. A student completing a developmental education class may receive a "K" grade up to two times for the same class and may only take the class a third time with the recommendation of the developmental education instructor and the executive dean of Student Development. 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 if the student transfers. See the Admissions, Registration and Records Office for more information.

Degree and Certificate Requirements
Records For information on the release of student records, refer to pages 232-233.
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 four ways: online, mail, fax or in person at the Student Services Center during regular business hours. A student’s official transcript may be held for any indebtedness to the college. For further information, visit mhcc.edu/transcripts. Advisers may obtain MHCC advising transcripts for their advisees. Students may generate a free, unofficial copy of their transcript via the MyMHCC 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 Students can utilize the college’s online degree audit system to verify their progress toward their degree/certificate. All classes taken at MHCC, as well as transfer coursework that has been evaluated, are used to meet degree/certificate requirements. Students are strongly encouraged to review their degree audit online and meet with an adviser frequently to ensure progress toward certificate and degree requirements are being met. For more information or assistance on running a degree audit, visit the MHCC website at mhcc.edu/graduation or visit the MHCC Orientation Center.
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) Maintain a 2.0 grade point average for all courses being applied toward the degree and maintain a 2.0 GPA in the candidate’s major classes (e.g., course prefixes such as DH, FSE, NUR, etc.). Specific programs may have additional GPA requirements 4) Satisfactorily earn 24 credit hours at 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 coursework. 5) Certificates may be awarded when the prescribed requirements are fulfilled. For additional information on degree requirements visit mhcc.edu/ graduation.

Release of Information The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights regarding their education records. They are: • The right to inspect and review the student’s records. The student may request to review his/her records by submitting a written request to the Admissions, Registration and Records Office or other school official having custody of such records. • The 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).

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.

Your request 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.

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 number with records from the following systems:

STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT The executive dean of Student Development is assigned the responsibility to administer student discipline through the Student Code of Conduct. The executive dean’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.
MHCC.EDU
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 executive dean of Student Development, 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.

Article V: Allegations and Hearings
1. Members of the college community may file an allegation against any student for misconduct. Charges shall be prepared in writing and directed to the Student Conduct Administrator. Any charge should be submitted as soon as possible after the event or behavior is discovered. 2. Student Conduct Administrator will cause an investigation to determine if the charges have merit. 3. The Student Conduct Administrator may endeavor, if appropriate, to determine if the charges can be disposed of administratively by mutual consent of the parties involved on a basis acceptable to the Student Conduct Administrator. 4. The Student Conduct Administrator shall present all charges to the accused student in written form. The letter will request that the student schedule a hearing time and date within a specific time frame, generally within a two-week period of the receipt of the complaint. 5. The Student Conduct Administrator shall request witnesses and documentation from all parties involved in the complaint. These documents and witnesses will be reviewed, if at all possible, prior to the hearing. Following the hearing, the Student Conduct Administrator may request more information from any of the parties. 6. If a student fails to appear for a hearing, the Student Conduct Administrator has the option of sending the student a reminder of the meeting and a request to schedule another meeting. The Student Conduct Administrator may also charge the delinquent student with another conduct violation, namely a failure to obey the request of a college administrator (see Article IV, Section 9). The Student Conduct Administrator might also decide to review and decide on the case without the student’s input and appearance. 7. Hearings shall be conducted by the Student Conduct Administrator according to guidelines outlined in the Student Code of Conduct. There shall be a single verbatim record of the proceedings. The record shall be the property of the college, but the accused student(s) or complainant(s) may purchase a copy of the record for a nominal fee, cost and procedure to be outlined in the sanction letter. 8. The complainant and the accused have the right to be assisted by an adviser they choose. Generally, the complainant does not appear at the hearing. The accused may request to meet with the complainant at or before the hearing (along with his/her adviser) including the deliberation, and/or know that person or persons’ identity(ies); the Student Conduct Administrator can deny the accused the option of knowing the identity of the accused if there is a likelihood 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

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 Executive Dean of Student Development. The appeal should be delivered within the 10-day time frame as indicated above, to the Office of the President. The disciplinary action is in force until the appeal is completed. If the request is not filed within the prescribed time, it shall be deemed that the student accepts the findings and disciplinary action. 3. The following will be considered grounds for appeal: • A procedural error or irregularity which materially affected the decision • New evidence of substantive nature not previously available at the time of the hearing that would have materially affected the decision • Bias on the part of the Student Conduct Administrator, which materially affected the hearing • The sanction imposed is not commensurate with the findings of fact established during the hearing process 4. The written appeal will include: • A response to the findings and conclusions of the Student Conduct Administrator • A response to the sanctions imposed by the Student Conduct Administrator • A detailed rationale as to why one or more of the four grounds for an appeal (cited earlier in this section of the code) is applicable in this case • Any evidence and/or information to support the points listed immediately above • A written appeal must make a compelling case in and of itself to support the student’s appeal to have his/her disciplinary decision reviewed and modified. A hearing is not guaranteed. The committee will review the written appeal and determine if a decision and recommendation can be made to the president without conducting a hearing. Should the committee not be able to make a decision from the written material submitted with the appeal and wish to give the appeal further consideration, the chair of the committee may arrange for a hearing where the student will meet with the committee.

Article VIII: Disciplinary Sanctions In recommending or determining a sanction, the judicial officer will consider all relevant factors including the nature of the offense, the severity of any damage, injury or harm resulting from the offense and the student’s past disciplinary record, if any. The following are sanctions, which may be imposed for a violation of this code: 1. Warning: A notice in writing to the student that the student is violating, or has violated, college policy or regulation or the Student Code of Conduct. 2. Disciplinary Probation: A written reprimand for violation of specific regulations or the code. Restriction of college-related activities of individual students or groups of students. Probation is for a designated period of time (no longer than one calendar year) and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary sanctions if the student is found to be violating any college policy, regulation or the code during the probationary period. Disciplinary probation may include referral for intervention, screening and/or treatment. Disciplinary probation may also include defining specific behaviors the student must follow to remain in attendance in class at MHCC. 3. Loss of Privileges: Denial of specified privileges for a designated period of time. 4. Restitution: Compensation for loss, damage or injury. This may take the form of appropriate service and/or monetary or material replacement. 5. Discretionary Sanctions: Work assignments; service to the college or community or other related discretionary assignments; mandated counseling or therapy; trespass from specified college premises; loss of institutional grants or scholarships. The imposition of such sanctions must be related to the nature of the violation. 6. Disciplinary Suspension: Separation of the student from the college for a definite period of time after which the student is eligible to return. Conditions for readmission may be specified. A suspended student is not to occupy any portion of the campus (including off-campus centers) and is denied all college privileges, including class attendance, transcript service and any consultation with college officials, except with the express permission of the Student Conduct Administrator. Suspension
MHCC.EDU
can be applied for up to one calendar year. A hold will be placed on the student account. 7. College Expulsion: Permanent separation of the student from Mt. Hood Community College. The expelled student is denied all further college privileges. Only the college president can apply the sanction of expulsion. 8. If students do not comply with any sanctions a hold will be placed on their account. They will not be able to receive any services from the college, including registration, transcript or graduation programs. The student must meet with the Student Conduct Administrator in order to have a hold removed. The Student Conduct Administrator will decide whether the student has complied with the sanctions.
Article IX: Interim Sanctions In certain circumstances, the Student Conduct Administrator or designee may impose an interim sanction prior to the hearing before the Student Conduct Administrator. 1. For alleged violations of this code, interim sanctions, including but not limited to interim suspension, limitation of access to designed campus facilities by time and/or location, and limitation of privilege to engage in specified college activities, may be imposed by the Student Conduct Administrator. a. Such restrictions are to be utilized only when there is reason to believe the student poses a substantial threat to harm oneself or others, damage to college property or disrupt the stability and continuance of normal college operations and functions. b. During a period of interim suspension, a student may be denied access to the campus (including classes) and to all other college activities or events, which the student might otherwise be eligible to participate in or attend. 2. Prior to imposing an interim sanction for alleged violations of the code, the student conduct administrator contemplating taking action will meet with the student. If the student cannot make the meeting, a telephone conversation or email or other delivery of the information shall be attempted. a. During the meeting, the student will be informed of his or her alleged violation(s) and of the reasons for the proposed interim sanction. b. After this information is provided, the student will be afforded an opportunity to make a statement regarding the alleged violation(s). 3. 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

5.
6. 7. 8.
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.

STUDENT RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES
PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING HARASSMENT AND/OR DISCRIMINATION
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 executive dean of Student Development. The threat analysis should be completed within five working days. 2. Student Development 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 executive dean of Student Development 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 healthcare personnel), the executive dean of Student Development 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 executive dean of Student Development. The executive dean will review the case, get additional input if needed and make a ruling. A letter from the executuve dean 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 executive dean’s decision. While a decision is under appeal, the student must comply with the decision made by the executive dean or his/her designee. A copy of the appeal decision will be sent to the executive dean.

3. If the student is unwilling to comply with the accommodations, or if there are no reasonable accommodations to be made, the executive dean will convene a body to review a possible involuntary withdrawal of the student. The body will be chaired by the executive dean or designee, an instructional administrator named by the executive dean of Student Development, 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).
Article X: Disciplinary Files and Records
1. The Office of the Executive Dean of Student Development or designee will maintain disciplinary records and a disciplinary tracking system, which will include, but not be limited to, the respondent’s name and related information, description of the incident, parties involved, code violations, sanctions and other data deemed relevant for no less than five years after resolved, except in cases of suspension or expulsion. Such information will be maintained in accordance with the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Disciplinary records will be made available to the Committee on Student Conduct and College officials designated in the Code of Student Conduct. ORS:166-450-0090 (10). 2. Students may arrange to review their own disciplinary records by contacting the Office of the Executive Dean of Student Development. 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 Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence And Stalking Statement of Institutional Commitment Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) is committed to maintaining a respectful working and learning environment with a zero tolerance policy regarding all forms of harassment and discrimination. It is against College policy for any manager, supervisor, faculty, staff, student or vendor/contractor to engage in harassment or discrimination of any member of the College community based on but not limited to race, color, religion, ethnicity, national origin, age, sex, marital status, disability, veteran status or sexual orientation. The College shall comply with all local, state and federal laws with regard to nondiscrimination and non-harassment. Acts of discrimination, harassment, sexual misconduct, dating violence, domestic violence, stalking, and retaliation will be addressed consistent with college policies.
Definitions Harassment is a type of unlawful discrimination. It is any type of repeated, unwelcome conduct based on a person’s membership in a protected class that either has the purpose or the effect of: 1. Creating a hostile or offensive environment 2. Interfering with the student’s education 3. Interfering with a person’s ability to perform his or her job duties Sexual Harassment Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or sexually directed remarks or behavior constitute illegal sexual harassment when (i) submission to such conduct is either explicitly or implicitly made a term or condition of an individual’s employment; or (ii) submission to, or rejection of, such conduct by an individual is used as a basis for employment or education decisions affecting such individuals; or (iii) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work, education or participation in College activities or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment.

Sexual Misconduct is an actual or attempted sexual contact with another person without that person’s consent. Consent is an understandable exchange of affirmative words or actions, which indicate a willingness to participate in mutually agreed upon sexual activity. Consent must be informed, freely and actively given. If coercion, intimidation, threats, or physical force are used there is no consent. Stalking includes repeatedly following, harassing, threatening, or intimidating another by telephone, mail, electronic communication, social media, or any other action, device or method that purposely or knowingly causes substantial emotional distress or reasonable fear of bodily injury or death. Dating Violence is abuse or violence between, partners or persons in a social relationship of an intimate or romantic nature involving one or more of the following elements: 1.

No retaliation No one at the College may reprimand, discriminate or otherwise retaliate against an individual who initiates an inquiry or complaint in good faith, nor against other individuals who share information related to the complaint.
Responding to Complaints of Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence and Stalking When you feel you are a victim of discrimination, harassment, misconduct or violence, it is important to remember that there are supportive people at MHCC who are resources for discussing and helping to clarify what constitutes discrimination, harassment or misconduct and the action steps you can take. To file a complaint or get help, seek assistance through the Executive Dean of Student Development, Title IX Coordinator, Human Resources Department or Public Safety Department. Do not wait to report conduct of concern until harassment becomes sufficiently serious (i.e., severe, pervasive, or persistent) to create a hostile environment. Off-campus harassment, misconduct, or violence that creates a hostile environment on campus should be brought to the attention of the college. Students are not required to discuss the complaint informally with the alleged perpetrator. Complaints 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. All complaints will be investigated and addressed in a timely manner.

After high school in Havana, Caraballo set his sights on the U.S. He first flew to Vietnam (his father is Vietnamese, his mother Cuban) and then to Mexico. Once in the U.S., he obtained political asylum. He had just enough cash in his pocket to make it to Gresham, where he knew he could enroll at MHCC and take classes to help him learn English.
Tuan Anh Tran Caraballo, MHCC Graduate
Stanford Via MHCC Cuba to Vietnam to Mexico to Mt. Hood Community College to Stanford University. It’s not your typical college journey, but it worked for Tuan Anh Tran Caraballo. This 23-year old Cuban refugee, a 2013 MHCC graduate, is well on his road to a fulfilling career, thanks in part to scholarships awarded by the MHCC Foundation. His personal philosophy? “I call it the alchemy of success,” Caraballo explains. “Something doesn’t come from nothing. It’s not your intelligence or aptitude. It’s not your money. It’s your hard work that makes the difference.” He also credits many others for contributing to his success thus far, including MHCC instructors, advisers and administrators, MHCC Foundation and donors; fellow students, family and friends…you get the idea. Besides being hard-working and smart, he is also modest and appreciative.
244
He entered MHCC’s TRIO Student Support Services, a federal program that helps students pursue a bachelor’s degree. He excelled at English and was soon able to enroll in college-level classes. Nicci Harwood, Caraballo’s TRIO adviser, recalls their first meeting. “Tuan told me he was going to transfer to a top caliber university. He had all the confidence in the world, and I believed him. When he says he’s going to accomplish something, you just know it’s true.” After Caraballo’s graduation from MHCC, Harwood wasn’t a bit surprised when he announced that he had won a full-ride scholarship to Stanford. More than 1,500 transfer students applied for just 34 scholarships. He plans to complete medical school and specialize in pediatric oncology in honor of a childhood friend. He wants to practice medicine in Gresham and volunteer in Cuba. And, without a doubt, that’s exactly what’s he’s going to do. For more information about TRIO, please see page 25.

Destiny Caseri, Adult High School Diploma
R x for Progress High school student Destiny Caseri knew she was ready for college, so why wait? As befits her name, she has big plans – earning college degrees and eventually becoming a neurosurgeon. However, with at least eight years of higher education ahead of her, Caseri knew that she had to kick her schooling into high gear. She called MHCC and learned about the Adult High School Diploma program for students 16 years of age or older who would like to earn their high school diploma while taking high school and/ or college courses.
“I knew I was smart enough for college, and I knew that if I worked fulltime, I could do it financially. So I took advantage of the opportunity.” By the time Caseri reaches 18, she will have earned her high school diploma plus all but a few credits for her associate degree from MHCC—almost two years ahead of schedule. “I recommend this to any student who knows they are ready for college now, and can pay for their classes now,” she says. “This program has been helpful to me, and I am excited to be ahead of the game.” For more information about MHCC's Adult High School Diploma, please see page 23.

Roseanna Lee, MHCC Respiratory Care Graduate
Live and Breathe What’s a stay-at-home mom to do when her youngest child goes off to school? Roseanna Lee decided to go save other kids’ lives. We don’t think much about breathing— until we can’t. Air in, air out is one of those things that goes from mindlessly mundane to life-or-death in a hurry. Whether from injury or from disorders including asthma, emphysema, pneumonia and bronchitis, protecting the airway is job one in healthcare, right alongside maintaining a stable heartbeat. The discipline in allied health responsible for doing that job in a wide range of healthcare settings, from hospital to physician office to home health, is respiratory care. MHCC offers one of the most respected and competitive training programs in the region.
MHCC.EDU
Lee knew it would not be easy when she applied to MHCC, but with her kids off to school, she knew she wanted to do something important. She was accepted into the program, and a rotation in pediatric respiratory care convinced her that helping kids was her passion. She graduated in 2010, and was hired just one month later. “MHCC gave me total and exceptional preparation,” Lee says. “The training was outstanding and I went from a stay-athome mom to working in the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units at a level one trauma hospital. MHCC was the best decision I ever made.” At Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel, Lee works with premature and other babies who need ventilator support. She also works with older kids who need breathing support due to everything from traumatic injury to infectious and genetic diseases. “It can be mentally tough to do this work sometimes,” Lee says, “but it’s always inspiring and challenging. I love my job, and I’m so grateful to my instructors at MHCC for making me a critical thinker.” For more information about Respiratory Care, please see page 94.

Upon returning, he wanted more adventure, so he went to Alaska and worked at a remote lodge. When he saw that MHCC offered classes in hospitality and tourism, he enrolled for a second time. He later went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management at Northern Arizona University, and participated in internships with Hilton Hotels in Portland and a travel company in Alaska. His first job out of school was at the Sheraton Hotel in Anchorage.
“It wasn’t exactly what I wanted, but I stuck with it,” he says. Then, in 2013, he found his dream job – General Manager of Denali Backcountry Lodge. “I’m about two miles from one of the most spectacular views in North America,” Hudson says. “I manage a remote 42-cabin property that welcomes about 70 guests per night in the center of Denali National Park.” Moose and grizzlies roam the area, but the hairiest challenge is hiring 80 seasonal workers and bringing in food and supplies. The Lodge is 350 miles from Anchorage at the end of a 100-mile dirt road that traverses mountainous terrain. Many MHCC instructors helped him get there, and taught him the ropes in the tourism industry. Hudson’s advice for students? “You don’t have to know exactly what you want to do. Just enroll. Get started. You can figure things out later, and participate in internships even if you have to work for free to get your foot in the door. As he has found, a career can be a lifelong adventure.

he realized that his leadership skills and ability to inspire others shouldn’t be limited to a microphone, so he launched a campaign to serve as ASG president in order to have a greater impact on larger numbers of people. He has the distinction of being the first African-American ASG president at MHCC.
MHCC Graduate Larry R. Collins-Morgan, 2010-11 Associated Student Government President
Walking the Talk Larry Collins-Morgan had quite a year as Associated Student Government (ASG) president in 2010-11 – from meeting the governor, to shaking President Barack Obama’s hand, to being invited (twice, actually) to participate in political conferences in Washington, D.C. Collins-Morgan has lived in Oregon all his life and graduated from Open Door Christian Academy as one of eight graduates in the class of 2009. He chose to enroll in MHCC’s Radio Broadcasting program to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a sports broadcaster.
Integrity, consistency and transparency characterized his administration and leadership style. “It’s not what you say, it’s what people hear,” he often said, which reflects his service-based leadership style and commitment to the MHCC student body. After college, Collins-Morgan plans to explore opportunities in leadership development through working with political action committees at the state, national and international levels. After that? Perhaps we will see him on ESPN, providing color commentary on the big game. Or, don’t be surprised if he has a place on an even bigger stage, making his mark on world events.
Within a few weeks of his arrival on campus, Collins-Morgan helped lead a group of students to broadcast MHCC sports on the radio and then launched his very own sports talk show that he created, produced and hosted. With that success,

she discovered an opportunity to have a real impact at the college. Driven and politically-conscious, she launched a successful campaign for Associated Student Government (ASG) president.
MHCC Graduate Jacqueline Altamirano, 2011-12 Associated Student Government President
R aising the Bar
While her days as an MHCC student have come to a close, it is clear that Altamirano will continue to raise the bar and strive to make a difference wherever she chooses to go in life.
As the first in her immediate family to attend college, Jackie Altamirano set the bar high for her three younger siblings. She graduated with honors from Gresham High School in 2010. During her time at Gresham, she challenged herself by serving on student council, taking International Baccalaureate courses and navigating through college scholarships and applications. Overwhelmed with all the choices involved in pursuing higher education, Altamirano decided that attending Mt. Hood Community College would help her ease into college and ultimately achieve her goal of earning an undergraduate degree. This energetic, ambitious and persistent young woman has done much more at MHCC than just easing into college, however. While earning her Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree,

able to overcome his lack of education. At age 26, Pense found himself experienced, but without a high school diploma or job.
"Having my own business gave me a lot of freedom and flexibility," Stegmann says. "But it's hard work and crazy hours! The first few years I made about $3 an hour."
He asked himself: “Is it too late? Am I wasting my time? Should I just give up and accept the mediocre job that I qualify for? Or should I go for it?”
Jerad Pense, MHCC GED Graduate
A Second Chance “Experience is just as good as education.” This is the motto that Jerad Pense lived by for many years before accepting that his lack of education was holding him back from a meaningful career and a bright future. At age 15, Pense dropped out of school and earned his General Educational Development (GED) diploma at MHCC 12 years later. Pense’s journey serves as a reminder that the path to fulfilling your dreams lies in completing college. And, equally important, it is never too late to resume your education regardless how long it has been since you sat in a classroom. After leaving high school, he immediately began working for a construction company owned by a family friend. Over the next 11 years, he gained a lot of valuable work experience, but was never

Pense decided he needed to prove to himself that he could take control of his future and finish school. His drive to complete his GED was so strong that he commuted four nights a week from St. Helens, Ore., to attend classes at Mt. Hood Community College. Having heard from multiple friends that MHCC was the place to go for extra one-on-one help, dedicated faculty and outstanding academic programs, he enrolled in Oregon’s Pathways to Adult Basic Skills (OPABS) classes. OPABS, which is designed to help people transition into further education and employment, guided Pense to earn his GED and helped him prepare for the next steps in his academic career. After earning his GED, he enrolled full time at MHCC to earn his associate degree with a focus in engineering. “With everything I have gone through, I believe going back to college at any age is possible,” Pense said. “I am grateful to MHCC for helping me to create a new life for myself. I am excited about what the future holds!” For more information about GED, please see page 24.
Lori Stegmann, MHCC Graduate
Freedom of Choice Where you come from can influence where you go and how you get there – and it's usually not a straight line. Born in Seoul, Korea, Lori Stegmann was adopted by an American family who raised her in Oregon. "I felt like an American," she says, "But I knew I was different. I was the only non-white person around." Maybe that's why she became so interested in different cultures and in helping minorities. Stegmann attended three different high schools because her family moved a lot. College was not on her radar. She already had a good job that paid well, but she took a night class at MHCC to improve her skills. When she received a raise at work, she gave herself two options: buy a new car, or take more college classes. Choosing the latter, she headed down the road to a business degree at MHCC, then PSU.
Serving customers wasn't enough, so to serve her community, she ran for public office. She was elected to the Gresham City Council in 2010 and now serves as council president. "I love being in office," she says. "You really learn a lot about people and you're empowered to serve your community." Stegmann knows she is extremely lucky to have gone from Korea to the U.S., where you have freedom and opportunities. "Life is not always a straight line," she says. "It zigs and zags and gets messy. But you just keep going, one foot after another."

mhcc facts Accreditation Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality evaluated through a peer review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. Inquiries regarding MHCC’s accredited status by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities should be directed to the President’s Office or the Accreditation Liaison Officer in Building 13, Room AC2398, 503-491-7630.

Classes are offered at the Gresham Campus, the Maywood Park Campus, The Bruning Center for Allied Health Education at MHCC and centers throughout the district. The college is financed by local property taxes, state reimbursement funds and student tuition. Local voters established the college tax base in 1968 and approved tax base increases in 1970 and 1980. The college has developed partnerships with business and industry to meet the needs of a current and future workforce. The MHCC District Board of Education consists of seven citizens of the school district, each of whom is elected for a four-year term. Board members serve without pay. Regular business meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month except August. The first president of the college was Dr. Earl Klapstein. He served until 1976 and was followed by Dr. R. Stephen Nicholson until 1985. Dr. Paul E. Kreider served as president from 1986 to 1996. Dr. Joel E. Vela became the college’s fourth president in 1996 and served through 2000. Dr. Robert Silverman served as president from 2001 to 2007. The college’s sixth president was Dr. John J. “Ski” Sygielski who served from 2008-2011. Dr. Michael D. Hay then was the president until his retirement in 2013. Dr. Debra Derr is the current president of Mt. Hood Community College.
