Power Struggles - No One Wins

Every parent, at one time or another, has felt as if he or she was being overpowered by a child. It is a basic law of human nature for children to test limits and the enforcers (parents) of those limits. Today, even pint-sized tots are terrorizing their parents. Take a stroll down any grocery store aisle, and you are bound to come upon a small child screaming at a parent, striking a parent or calling a parent names. This class will explore who really is in the driver's seat by reviewing various parenting styles and setting rules that are appropriate and can be enforced.

Tobacco use is prohibited on all college grounds.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs)

The primary purpose of CEUs is to provide a permanent record of the educational accomplishments of an individual who has completed a non-credit class. CEUs are especially important to those who seek to maintain a credential, such as a real estate license. One CEU is defined as 10 hours of participation in a planned continuing education experience organized under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and qualified instruction. CEUs do not apply toward college degree requirements.

Social Security Number Privacy Policy

The State of Michigan Public Act 454 of 2004 establishes regulations to help ensure the privacy of student Social Security numbers. This includes the proper use, disclosure and disposal of student Social Security numbers. The Community College District of Monroe County, Mich. will follow procedures to ensure that these requirements are met. For procedural information, please see the website at www.monroeccc.edu.
