How to Apply First time financial aid applicants:• On-line: on the internet at www.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 elec-tronic filing, the information can be saved while waiting for the PIn or a physical signature page must be printed, signed and submitted by regular, surface mail.

or• Paper: complete a paper fafSa (free application for federal Student

aid). forms for this option are available in any financial aid office, in most high school counseling offices and some public libraries.

Previous financial aid recipients: Students will usually receive a “renewal application” by mail sometime

before January 1 of each year. Online renewal forms are available by logging onto the fafsa.ed.gov web site and using your PIn number. To ensure that the fafSa results are sent to all colleges desired, the applicant must enter school codes or complete addresses for prospective colleges. The Mt. Hood Community College school code is 003204.

Conditions for AwardsThe 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 Verificationall schools and colleges must verify some of the data of fafSa applications. examples of verification materials required are: Student Status Letter (from the MHCC web site), signed tax returns for some fafSa submit-ters, proof of untaxed agency income or benefits (Social Security, Tanf, subsidized housing, etc.)

Students who want to use credits from other colleges to satisfy require-ments or pre-requisites for requirements for a Mt. Hood Community Col-lege degree will need to submit prior official transcripts to the College’s admissions Office. at the time of evaluation, those credits will become part of the total credits used to determine further eligibility for finan-cial aid under the Quantitative Measures Standards of Progress federal regulations.

Aid Disbursementafter the student is awarded financial aid, it is posted to their account (except bank loans) and will be used directly to pay their tuition and fees. any remaining aid will be disbursed as a check that can be used to buy books, pay for room and board, transportation and miscellaneous supplies and personal items on or after the first day of classes. Proof of enroll-ment must be submitted to the MHCC Business Office any time aid is disbursed as a check or used to pay tuition without any remaining aid to physically disburse.

Step �. Visit Testing ServicesTesting Services Room AC ��550�-49�-7678 www.mhcc.edu/testing

Testing Services is often one of the first stops for potential students. To be properly placed into courses, new students must take a College Placement Test (CPT). This test, which covers reading, writing and mathematics, helps to assess your academic readiness and will help you choose classes that fit your present skill level. You may not have to take the placement test if:

• You have transcripted coursework in reading, writing, and/or mathemat-ics. Bring a copy of your transcript to the academic advising and Transfer Center for assistance.

• You have taken a college placement test at another college within the last 12 months. Bring a copy of your score report to Testing Services to have your scores evaluated. Students may be asked to take only the Math part of the CPT.

• You are taking any course that carries a proficiency level of “Proficiency required”. The proficiency levels can be found for each course at the end of individual course descriptions and under each course printed in the quarterly schedule of classes.

Step 4. Talk to an AdviserAcademic Advising and Transfer Center Room AC ��5�50�- 49�-7��5 www.mhcc.edu/advising

The next stop for most new students is the academic advising and Transfer Center (aaTC). Prior to sitting down with an adviser, students should com-plete the on-line orientation, www.mhcc.edu/orientation. Students may complete the on-line orientation in the Testing Center, the academic advising and Transfer Center, or from their home computer. The orienta-tion provides students with key information about the college, degree options, and the registration process.

Once orientation is completed, new students will work with an academic adviser to create a schedule of classes.

Beyond the first term, the academic advising and Transfer Center remains the place to come for advising for those students completing skill-build-ing courses (e.g. rD90, wr90, MTH10, MTH20), those exploring program options, and those preparing to enter one of MHCC’s limited or restricted entry programs. Students may make an appointment with an adviser to develop an educational plan, review degree progress, or receive an unofficial evaluation of transfer credit. Students may also drop in and utilize a library of regional college catalogs, advising guides for popular college majors, and enjoy internet access to transfer school curriculums and programs nationwide.

Continuing students who have declared a major should seek information and assistance primarily from their faculty adviser. Meet with your faculty adviser periodically to make sure you are on the right track to meet your goals. Contact information for faculty advisers is available at www.mhcc.edu/pages/162.asp and on specific program pages of this catalog.

Step 6. Pay for ClassesBusiness Office – Student Billing Accounts Receivable Room AC ��5� 50�-49�-698� or 50�-49�-7�76 www.mhcc.edu/pages/94�.asp

College Tuition and FeesThe MHCCD Board of education sets tuition rates and reserves the right to make changes without notice. The amount of tuition you pay is determined by your residency and by the number of credit hours you are taking. Some classes require an additional course fee. There may be other types of fees as-sessed as well. a full description of tuition and fees are listed in the quarterly schedule of classes or on the web.

Payment Due DatePayment for all tuition and fees is due on or before the published due date, usually the first day of the term. all charges on your student account must be paid in full before you can register for another term.

Payment Options The college has four options available for payment. no other payment ar-rangements are available.

1. Pay all tuition and fees by the first day of the term. If a student reg-isters after the term begins, payment is due the day of registration. This includes courses added from wait lists.

2. Student Installment Payment note

Student may opt to arrange for a deferred payment plan. Tuition/fees may be deferred if:

• the student registers using an official social security number

• tuition/fees total $100 or more

• no other monies are owed to the college

Student Installment Payment notes are not accepted after the second friday of the term. Student Installment Payment notes are not available to international students. If classes have been added after the Student Installment Payment note has been signed, call accounts receivable immediately, 503-491-6981 or 503-491-7276. additional charges to the student account may cause changes in the required minimum payment. failure to pay the new minimum payment would drop the student from the Student Installment Payment note plan.

3. financial aid/Scholarship

If a student’s financial aid is not available by the first day of the term or does not completely cover their tuition amount, they should select option 1 or 2 above. If a balance remains on their student account past the due date, the account is subject to late fees and collection costs.

4. agency or Company

arrangements for payment by an agency or company must be pre-approved by the college. The student is responsible to ensure that a payment autho-rization is on file in the College’s accounts receivable department by the first day of the term. Ultimately the student is responsible for payment of all unpaid charges, including late fees and third party service fees.

Payment Typesall payments must be made in US funds. acceptable payment types in-clude:

• cash • money order • visa • MasterCard • checkCollege Services paid for by check will be provided 10 business days after payment occurs. an example of services include official transcript requests, awarding of degrees and certificates, catalog purchases, and GeD testing; but does not apply to tuition payment.

Student Financial Responsibility By enrolling or having enrolled as a student at Mt. Hood Community College, you agree to be responsible for all charges on your student account and abide by the student account practices and policies. Students will be held accountable for understanding the practices and policies of college billing and collections. Detailed descriptions are provided on pages 215-217 of this catalog. They include:

Step 7. Plan for Successafter you have taken care of all of the details needed to apply, enroll and register at Mt. Hood, you want to enjoy your time here, as well as maintain a good academic career. Certainly good study skills, adequate preparation, and attendance are important. Sometimes, though, other factors may affect how you persist at the school. we have many options that can assist you in this endeavor:

Career Planning/Declaring a majorThe most successful students are those who have connected with a career focus and with faculty who share those career interests. Choosing a major is an important step in your academic life. Choosing a career and a major requires some introspection on your part. Our Career Planning and Counseling Center located in room aC 1152 can help you discern your interests, skills, abilities and values, and tie those to majors and careers. You can declare your major at any time; just look for the major change forms in the academic and student services departments. for more information, call 503-491-7432.

Design an educational planOnce you have chosen a career path and major, MHCC recommends designing an educational plan that will lead you to fulfill degree and/or transfer requirements. The academic advising and Transfer Center (aaTC) can assist you with this plan as well as with other advising needs. You will work with an assigned academic adviser in your major field of study (professional/

The general studies degree may, in addition to including the number of hours in the divisional areas as listed below, include courses in lower division collegiate transfer, occupational edu-cation, and professional-technical education. Because of the flexibility and broad approach of this degree, a student may find that it may not fulfill all of the requirements of full junior standing when transferred to a four-year institution. The transferable credits generally include only those courses numbered 100 or above. Please refer to pages 217-218, “Courses numbered 100-299,” for more information.

The associate of General Studies Degree will be awarded to students who satisfy the following requirements:

1. Complete a minimum of 90 applicable credit hours.

2. Successfully complete all required courses in the general studies curriculum as follows. Progression of classes must be vertical. That is, once a course has been successfully completed, a lower level course may not be taken for credit.


Courses (except for electives) must be selected from a list of approved general education courses (see page 9).

a. Health and Physical education

a minimum of three credits which must include at least one class in Physical education (Pe) and one class in Health education (He). Other options: HPe295 Health and fitness for Life or HPe285OL wilderness Survival (3 credit) satisfies the total HPe requirement. Pe285OL wilderness Survival for two credits may satisfy the HPe requirement by completing one additional credit in either health or physical education.

Two (2) credit hours of Pe185 credit may be granted toward an associate degree at Mt. Hood for completion of military basic training. a copy of the DD214 form is required.

B. Communications

Six quarter hours at a level equivalent to wr101 and wr102; or wr121 and wr122; or three credits in writing and three credits in speech; or three credits in writing and rD117; or three credits in writing and Ba205.

C. Mathematics


D. Human relations

Three quarter-credit hours.

Oregon Transfer ModuleThe Oregon Transfer Module (OTM) allows for institutional recognition of the completion of one-year (full-time equivalent) of General education coursework. Once awarded, the OTM is recognized by all of the public institutions of post-secondary education in the state1.

The Oregon Transfer Module may lead to an associate of arts / Oregon Transfer (aa/OT) degree or an associate of Science / Oregon Transfer - Business (aS/OT-BUS) degree, from a community college, or to a bac-calaureate degree from a university. The OTM is neither a certificate nor a degree. after completing the module, students are still obligated to take additional, institution-specific, General education coursework if they pursue an aa/OT, an aS/OT-BUS, or a baccalaureate degree.

any student completing an Oregon Transfer Module that conforms to the guidelines below will have met the requirements for the Oregon Transfer Module at any Oregon community college or institution in the Oregon University System.1 Upon transfer, the receiving institution may specify additional course work that is required for a major, for degree require-ments, or to make up the difference between the Oregon Transfer Module and the institution’s total General education requirements.2

GUIDELINESThe OTM includes coursework chosen from the courses approved for the categories below by the institution issuing the credit. In the case of community colleges, these are courses approved for the aa/OT degree; in the case of universities and four-year colleges, they are courses approved for the General education portion of a baccalaureate degree. all courses must have a grade of “C-” or better, and must be at least 3 credits (quarter system). Students must have a minimum cumulative GPa of 2.0 at the time the module is transcripted to their official academic record.

Courses for an Oregon Transfer Module issued from Mt. Hood Community College must be selected from the list of approved courses on pages 13-14. The list is also available in the admissions, registration and records Office, the academic advising and Transfer Center or from a program adviser.3

Foundational Skills (referred to as General requirements in the current aa/OT degree)

• writing: Two courses of college-level composition.

• Oral Communication: One course of fundamentals of speech or communication.

• Mathematics: One course of college-level mathematics, for which at least Intermediate algebra is a prerequisite

Introduction to Disciplines (referred to as Distribution requirements in current aa/OT Degree)

• arts and Letters: Three courses4.

• Social Sciences: Three courses.

• Science/Math/Computer Science: Three courses, including at least one biological or physical science with a lab5,6.

Electives as required to bring the total credits to 45. Courses must be from the Introduction to Disciplines areas (arts & Letters, Social Science, or Sci-ence/Math/Computer Science). 1 regionally accredited private colleges and universities within

the state may offer and issue the Oregon Transfer Module,

which will be accepted at any Oregon public college or university.

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

3 Courses that are designed to prepare students for college-level work are not applicable to the transfer module.

4 In arts and Letters, the second year of a foreign language may be included, but not the first year. american Sign Language (aSL) is considered a foreign language.

5 when choosing courses in science and mathematics, students and advisers should check the specific requirements at receiv-ing schools. Courses that include a laboratory component, or that deal with specific subjects, may be required for majors or degrees.

6 Computer Science courses used in the Math/Science/Computer Science area must meet Oregon Council of Computer Chairs criteria for a science course. See list of courses at (http://cs.bmcc.cc.or.us/occc/).

Associate of Arts - Oregon Transfer DegreeThe Oregon Transfer Degree (associate of arts) is a program of study that community college students can follow to fulfill all their lower division general education requirements for a bachelor’s degree at an Oregon University System institution. It is an agreement between the Oregon State System of Higher education and Oregon’s community colleges to provide transfer of community college coursework to an Oregon university system institution.

Completion of the Oregon Transfer Degree can lead to junior standing, for registration purposes, for any student admitted to a university in the Oregon university system: University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Portland State University, western Oregon University, Southern Oregon University, Oregon Institute of Technology and eastern Oregon University. However, some school, department or major requirements with regard to courses or grade point average may not be fulfilled by this degree

Students considering transfer to private and out-of-state institutions will find the Oregon Transfer Degree to be excellent preparation for upper division study. a similar transfer agreement also exists between Mt. Hood Community College and Concordia University, Pacific University, warner Pacific College, George fox University and Marylhurst University in the Portland area, as well as western Baptist College, BYU-Hawaii, Hawaii Pacific University, Boise State University, Seattle Pacific University, and washington State University.

Upon enrolling at Mt. Hood Community College, students need to be ready for college-level mathematics, writing and science in order to complete the associate of arts Degree in two years. If students lack the necessary skills, MHCC offers excellent preparatory courses and tutorial assistance to help them get on track quickly.

Please refer to pages 217-218, “Courses numbered 100-299,” for more information.

The associate of arts Degree will be awarded to students who satisfy the following requirements:

1. Complete a minimum of 90 applicable credit hours. See #6 for an explanation (Some majors may require more than 90 credit hours.)

2. Successfully complete all required courses. Progression of classes must be vertical. That is, once a course has been successfully completed, a lower level course may not be taken for credit.

Program DescriptionMt. Hood Community College offers selected professional-technical education curricula designed to prepare students for gainful employment. The professional-technical programs serve the community by providing business, industry and the trades with workers who have learned basic skills and competencies.

The objectives of professional-technical education at Mt. Hood Com-munity College are:• to provide pre-employment instruction in the development of manipu-

lative skills and technical knowledge, including emphasis on health, safety, job orientation, business standards and ethics, customer relations, human relations in industry, and the responsibilities of citizenship.

• to assist those in need of retraining and readjustment by providing professional-technical offerings to meet changing industrial condi-tions.

• to provide apprenticeship and other skills, technical knowledge, safety and employer-employee relations for those already employed in industry.

• to provide professional-technical education students with the opportunity to extend their educational achievements through participation in a program leading to an associate degree.

• to contribute to the welfare of the community by providing conscien-tious, productive, intelligent workers.

There are two basic types of professional-technical programs offered by MHCC:

The ASSOCIATE of APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE program provides two years of specialized education designed to prepare the student for career entry:

The CERTIFICATE programs are occupation-oriented programs of shorter duration than the associate degree program.

Transfer courses may be substituted for general education requirements in many professional-technical associate degree or certificate programs. all transfer course substitutions must be approved by the appropriate associate dean.

Professional-technical programs that include related and/or approved electives as part of the curriculum may require approval from the adviser to take such courses PRIOR to registration.

Recognition of Completionrecognition of Completion is a non-transcripted award granted by Mt. Hood Community College to identify completion of a body of coursework in specific areas.

Accounting ClerkCertificate ProgramMHCC Faculty Advisers Jerry Kohler: 50�-49�-7408 - Room AC �68� [email protected] Jim Arnold: 50�-49�-7468 - Room AC �664 [email protected]

Do you want a career that will provide you continued opportunities for growth and recognize your achievements every step of the way? after completing the third quarter, you will receive the accounting Clerk certificate recognizing the employable skills you have acquired and documenting your completion of the one-year program.

Students with a limited amount of time or funds can get started in this practical, cost effective program. recent high school graduates who need employable skills in a relatively short period of time, small business owners or prospective small business owners who need the accounting basics and business office skills, and returning students who want retraining into a career that provides continued opportuni-ties for advancement all find this program attractive. Many accounting students work part or full time.

Completion of the first quarter prepares you for an entry level office job requiring word processing and data entry skills, use and understanding of a basic accounting system, manual and/or electronic organization and maintenance of office records, as well as a general understanding of business terminology and business math including the use of an electronic calculator.

Completion of the second quarter qualifies you to be among the few job applicants who are prepared to process payroll, meeting all the needs of the employer and the legal reporting requirements. In addition to learning the basic principles and applications of computer technology you will be proficient in using computer spreadsheets, the accountant’s most important computer tool. Business communication skills and the ability to use office computer programs will further strengthen your ability to make a contribution in any business environment.

Completion of the one-year program will enable you to help managers use accounting information when making decisions. You will also gain experience in recording accounting transactions which are encountered less frequently and make recommendations when there are reporting options. Your ability to use a commercial accounting software package and apply electronic spreadsheets to various accounting situations will enable you to be efficient as well as knowledgeable.

The longer you are able to stay in the program the more qualified you will be to assume additional job responsibilities. Many students start the accounting Clerk program and then decide they want to expand their knowledge and skills and be rewarded for performing even more challenging job responsibilities by earning a two-year degree. Students wanting to pursue a two-year degree must talk to a faculty adviser.

If you plan to transfer to a four-year school you can enroll in the accounting specialty of the Business administration transfer degree program. You will also have the opportunity to take additional advanced accounting courses to strengthen your preparation for upper-division course work at a university. Consult a faculty adviser for assistance in identifying and selecting courses which may be of most benefit to you.

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

Dental HygieneRestricted Entry, Associate of Applied Science Degree ProgramMHCC Faculty Adviser Teresa H. Tong: 50�-49�-769� - Room AC �7�6 [email protected]

The Dental Hygiene program at Mt. Hood Community College is six quar-ters in length, leading to an associate degree. academic instruction in basic and dental sciences is integrated with instruction in dental hygiene therapy, 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.


• prepare dental hygienists who will be able to effectively assess, plan, implement and evaluate current dental hygiene services

• develop appropriate decision making skills and the utilization of professional judgment, conduct and ethics to provide optimum patient care

• promote innovative approaches to problem solving and critical thinking that stimulate independence and responsibility

• enhance communication skills that enable students to work effectively with diverse populations as members of the health care team

• promote active participation and leadership in community activities and professional associations

• instill a commitment to continued education and skill develop-ment.

Prospective students must satisfactorily meet admission program criteria and the application deadline to be considered for admission. application packets are available on our web site at www.mhcc.edu/Lradmissions. Information sessions are also offered on a regular basis. The information sessions are listed in the application packets. 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, or the equivalent, as well as selected high school level coursework. CH104 must be completed prior to the application deadline. During the program students must maintain a C grade or better in all dental hygiene courses to progress and to be recommended for dental hygiene licensure examinations.

although BI121 and BI122 is the anatomy and physiology sequence cur-rently 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.

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.

Students who used the College Placement Test (CPT) to demon-strate mathematics proficiency for program admission as of �004

– �005 will not meet the general education requirement for the Associate of Applied Science Degree. Three credits of a mathematics course (MTH65 or higher, excluding MTH��) must be transcripted before graduation. Please see pages 7-10 for more details about the general education requirements of the applied associate of Science Degree.

Special opportunities for teachers and caregivers - Learn while you earn!

non-traditional credit can help you earn a degree or certificate while you’re working in early childhood education. You must have completed 12 credits at MHCC to be eligible.

Your prior training and current job experience may provide the knowledge needed to successfully challenge a course. an eCe faculty adviser will work individually with you to outline a degree path us-ing a combination of traditional classes, on-site evaluation of your teaching and caregiving experience and non-traditional credit for prior learning.

• Get credit for what you know.• Cut the time required to earn your college degree.• Maintain your employment.

non-traditional credit can provide the flexibility you need to make your dream of a college degree a reality!

(all students must successfully complete coursework and practicum competencies required for graduation. College and program require-ments apply.)

Employment Skills Training Certificate (less than one-year)MHCC Adviser: Students must contact MHCC Worksource Oregon staff, faculty adviser, or academic adviser for assistance in developing the EST.

The employment Skills Training (eST) Certificate provides flexibility for students who are seeking specific training for an occupational goal and job-entry preparation. eST certificates have the following components:

• 12-44 credits

• Minimum college and/or industry proficiencies (see section minimum proficiencies)

• each pre-approved plan will target a specific occupational goal and job entry point in existing degree and certificate profes-sional/technical programs.

• Students can enroll at the beginning of any term during the year.

�6

Minimum ProficienciesStudents 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 un-derstood through consultation with employers, market information, professional/technical advisory committee members, and other data sources. Division deans will have final authority over setting said minimum proficiencies.

Students must meet college proficiency and prerequisite requirements for all courses included in the approved plan.

Occupational proficiency is defined specific to chosen occupations and industry standards.

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 professional-technical 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 ad-viser and completes the form “Individual Student Plan”. The adviser then meets with the applicable Division Dean to review the plan. Minimum proficiencies and plan contents are reviewed, amended and approved by the Division Dean. a copy of the approved plan is provided to the student, the adviser and the admissions, registration and records Office.

Students who have an approved eST plan on file with the admis-sions, registration and records Office must petition for certificate completion six months before they have completed all the required course work. 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.

Engineering Technology Architectural, Civil, or Mechanical…engineering Technology is a professional technical career that involves the practical application of science and mathematics along with engineering knowledge, methods, and skills to support activities in design, manufacturing and construction. engineering technicians provide a critical link between design professionals and craftspeople doing the work. employment opportunities exist for men and women in this growing, fast-paced, and ever-evolving occupation. Mt. Hood Community College offers associate in applied Science degrees in three areas of specialization which are architectural, Civil, and Mechanical engineering Technology.

emphasis is “hands on” experience with much of the coursework fo-cusing on common tasks that technicians actually will do in industry on a day-to-day basis. Skills and abilities expected of a technician participating in engineering related fields include: computer literacy, problem solving, critical thinking, communication, flexibility, and the ability to work in teams. with the tremendous range of jobs related to engineering technology, some employers may require only a few of these skills where others may need all of them and more.

Integrated MediaRestricted Entry, Associate of Applied Science Degree Program with options in: • Broadcasting • Graphic Design • Digital Photography • VideoMHCC Faculty Advisers JD Kiggins: 50�-49�-76�� - Room AC ��85 [email protected] Christina Maier: 50�-49�-699� - Room AC ��75 [email protected] Jack Schommer: 50�-49�-76�� - Room AC ��7� [email protected]

MHCC’s InTeGraTeD MeDIa program is an exciting new approach to training students for employment in the thriving Creative Services industry. It represents the first of its kind in Oregon and leverages decades of faculty experience, state of the art facilities, and the rapidly emerging emphasis on digital media. This new format has emerged from our historically strong individual professional technical programs in Photography, Television, radio Broadcasting and Graphic Design and features interdisciplinary instruction from faculty with deep professional experience.

The Integrated Media Program is a unique opportunity for you to explore a broad-based digital media education. The creative industry is being pressed to do more, do it faster — and more effectively. There is high demand for employees with digital skills. Powerful personal computers and access to high-speed Internet has changed the way we create and consume media. The Integrated Media Program emphasizes a shared core of digital skills across the disciplines of photography, design, audio and video. Classes are small, focused and rigorous. after selecting an option, you’ll receive specialized instruction in that area while gaining exposure to the wider field of Integrated Media.

Because businesses increasingly require content creators from each discipline to work in collaboration, Integrated Media developed courses in which students from different options can work in teams on projects requiring varying areas of specialization. By working across traditional boundaries, students achieve fluency in multiple design settings and applications. They learn to conceptualize, plan, build and promote products/projects in a variety of digital media. Students involved in Integrated Media projects create solutions that incorporate sound, video, photography, lighting, acting, script writing, animation and design.

Computers are the primary tool for the planning and presentation of work created with digital tools. examples include using software to design a print ad or magazine spread, record a podcast, manipulate photographic images for a montage or produce a video. Students use digital media to put their ideas into motion, creating animations, sound tracks, titles and an array of special effects. In many instances, the final presentation is viewed only on a computer or via the Internet or on a portable media player.

employers favor those who have excellent technical skills as well as the behavior to work effectively in teams and independently. Today’s creative professional needs to be able to function beyond the boundar-ies of a single discipline and is often called upon to contribute in a variety of media. Portland’s demand for creative talent is supported by well-known international firms such as nike, adidas, wieden+Kennedy, Laika, and Columbia Sportswear.

Many graduates find that freelancing (contract work) offers higher pay and more flexibility than being a full time employee, so we’ll teach you the business skills to succeed as a creative contractor.

Instructors are energetic, working professionals in the creative services field.

Upon completion of this two-year program, you’ll know how to take engaging photographs, use Photoshop to manipulate and enhance images as you create content that works in both a print and web-based environment. with your camera’s ability to show you instant results, you’ll be able to adjust light and the shadows exactly the way you’ve only dreamed you could. Just as important, you’ll have the vocabulary, technical and people skills to work in creative design teams. You’ll become very comfortable with the give-and-take of close collaboration.

Integrated Media: Graphic DesignRestricted Entry, Associate of Applied Science Degree ProgramMHCC Faculty Adviser Christina Maier: 50�-49�-699� - Room AC ��75 [email protected]

Students looking for an outlet for their creative ideas will find that the Graphic Design option includes new opportunities to gain broad digital media expertise. video, audio and photography content have been added to the print and web design training we’re well known for offering. we’re confident that employers will value a true digital media creator.

This new program will be every bit as rigorous a course of study as the previous aaS degree in Graphic Design. The 12 Integrated Media core courses are complemented by six Graphic Design option courses that will prepare student for career paths within the creative services field including but not limited to art direction, project management, interactive media, digital production art, graphic design and publish-ing. Graduates of this program will be qualified to work as:

• Interactive web Designer

• Publication Designer

• Graphic Design assistant

• Digital Pre-press Technician

• web Graphics Producer

• Junior art Director

• Marketing assistant


Graphic designers solve business and communication problems by pro-viding expert advice and strategic creative services to clients to help them succeed in a competitive environment. The impact and results of the work will be measured by multiple sets of criteria—both yours and the client’s. each project must meet high aesthetic standards, but it must also meet specific business objectives. Most professional design assignments span several different media such as print, online or broadcast. This means that most assignments require a multi-dis-ciplinary team. Projects evolve through a process of multiple design directions and refinements, so you need to be very comfortable with the give-and-take of close collaboration. Unlike fine art, the focus of graphic design is not self-expression or the exploration of personal issues.

This curriculum covers the basics of graphic design with an equal focus on printed solutions and web site design. we incorporate many approaches to instruction including: individual and group critiques, collaborations with other students in Integrated Media (Broadcasting, video and Digital Photography) and over a dozen sponsored design projects for real clients in the second year. Internships are strongly recommended and often prepare students for immediate employment upon graduation. Students will create several portfolios of their design work: a traditional print portfolio, a web-based portfolio and a PDf portfolio to send clients and prospective employers via e-mail.

Students’ portfolio projects include typography, editorial design, cor-porate identity programs, packaging design, multimedia presentations, web site designs, illustrations, posters, brochures and magazines. You’ll understand how design processes and skills are applied to printing, online media and other distribution methods found in the creative services industry.

Medical TranscriptionAssociate of Applied Science Degree ProgramMHCC Faculty Adviser Carole Wickham: 50�-49�-7�95 - Room AC �77� [email protected]

Medical transcriptionists transform spoken words into compre-hensive records that accurately communicate medical information. These reports are used in the areas involved in all aspects of each patient’s care. These reports function as legal documentation and fulfill requirements for insurance reimbursement. They also serve as references for scientific research.

Medical transcriptionists utilize their talents in a variety of healthcare settings, including doctors’ offices, public and private hospitals, teaching hospitals, medical transcription services, clinics, laboratories, radiology and pathology departments, insurance compa-nies, medical libraries, government medical facilities, rehabilitation centers, legal offices, research centers, veterinary medical facilities, and associations representing the healthcare industry. Transcription-ists may also choose to work out of their homes as employees of transcription services or hospitals, or as independent contractors.

Transcription offers unlimited intellectual challenge to those who possess an interest in learning. Characteristics of a successful medical transcriptionist include dedication to excellence, extensive medical

57

knowledge and understanding, sound judgment, deductive reasoning, and excellent english and computer skills.

This program is designed to prepare students for entry-level posi-tions. academic courses include science and english, with practical courses in computer technology, medical transcription, and medical record coding. Students will use computers to transcribe authentic physician-dictated medical reports organized by body system or medi-cal specialty. Students will be graded on accuracy, speed, and medical knowledge in the transcription of letters, chart notes, history and physical examination reports, consultations, emergency room reports, and discharge summaries. Students will use reference materials and other resources. Students will edit and proofread each report, using proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

Professional Photography Restricted Entry, Associate of Applied Science Degree ProgramMHCC Faculty Adviser Dana Spielmann: 50�-49�-74�� - Room AC ��7� [email protected]

Professional Photography is currently one of the most dynamic and challenging career areas. In the last decade, the industry has shifted to digital technologies and methodologies. Commercial photographers employ more sophisticated systems of lighting and image capture. Studio techniques have changed to reflect the digital workflow where products are processed and delivered via the web. Greater in-house printmaking is occurring which requires more knowledge of color management and workflow. Like most business, Professional Photographers are constantly working through new marketing and sales strategies.

Graduates of the Professional Photography program will emerge after two years of coursework with solid technical and aesthetic photogra-phy skills. In addition, they will gain a strong foundation in business and marketing practices essential to survival as an independent opera-tor. Current market demand offers our graduates entry-level positions in general commercial, advertising, industrial, editorial, and free-lance photography. employment will also be found as technicians in profes-sional processing labs, electronic imaging and multimedia service bureaus, and as members of film or television production crews.

Success in the competitive field of professional photography not only requires mastery of the craft but also an aptitude for pre-visualizing, problem-solving, teamwork and communication. for this reason, the curriculum ranges from foundations in camera operation, digital edit-ing, and commercial lighting to courses in marketing and professional practices. Second-year students have two terms of a photo business practicum that simulates business environments by servicing the college’s internal photographic needs. Students also have in-depth courses in design and web page construction. finally, students gain experience in the field as interns with the professional photographers from the Portland metropolitan area.

Because students have only two years to gain skills necessary to landing entry-level positions, the Professional Photography program devotes 75 percent of the 90 total program credits to courses directly related to photography. Since its inception in 1998, this unique program has flourished and enjoys an excellent reputation among the local community of commercial and portrait/wedding photogra-phers. all of our students will intern with professionals and for some dedicated students, the experience leads to a first job as an assistant after graduation.


• apply tools, techniques and processes to effectively communi-cate their ideas and to initiate, define and solve challenging photographic problems

• defend individual work and perspectives in relation to other work and to create multiple solutions to visual problems

• evaluate and defend the validity of sources for content and the manner in which subject matter, symbols and images are used in the students’ works and in significant work of others

• operate successfully within an owner-operator business environment

• identify connections between photography and other disciplines and creative media

Photography, whether it is as a professional or a personal interest, is always exciting, challenging and rewarding. we hope that you will consider Mt. Hood Community College to meet your photography edu-cation needs. Prospective students must satisfactorily meet admission program criteria and the application deadline to be considered for admission. further information and application packets are available on the MHCC website at www.mhcc.edu/Lradmissions.

Note: Due to the sequencing of courses, students will be admitted only at the fall term. alternates may be considered for mid-year entry if space is available. Students accepted in the program will be expected to complete prior to the first quarter arT261 (Photography I) or have the program adviser’s waiver.

Associate of General Studies DegreeThe purpose of the Degree in General Studies is to provide the student an opportunity to pursue a broad general education during the two years at a community college. It is intended as a flexible program for the student who is not pursuing a specified curriculum in the lower division transfer or professional-technical area. The general studies degree may, in addition to including the number of hours in the divisional areas as listed below, include courses in lower division collegiate transfer, occupational education, professional-technical education and general education. Because of the flexibility and broad approach of this degree, a student may find that it may not fulfill all of the requirements of full junior standing when transferred to a four-year institution. The transferable credits generally include only those courses numbered 100 or above. Please refer to pages 217-218, “Courses numbered 100- 299”, for more information.

The associate of General Studies Degree will be awarded to students who satisfy the following requirements:1. Complete a minimum of 90 applicable credit hours.2. Successfully complete all required courses in the general studies

curriculum as follows. Progression of classes must be vertical. That is, once a course has been successfully completed, a lower level course may not be taken for credit.


Courses (except for electives) must be selected from a list of ap-proved general education courses (see page 9). The list is available in the admissions and records Office, the academic advising and Transfer Center or from the program adviser.

a. Health and Physical education a minimum of three credit hours which must include one class in

Physical education (Pe) and one class in Health education (He). Other options: HPe295 Health and fitness for Life, or HPe285OL (3 credits) satisfies the total HPe requirement. a student successfully completing Pe285OL wilderness Survival for 2 credits may satisfy the HPe requirement by completing one additional credit in either health or physical education.


B. Communications Six quarter credit hours at a level equivalent to wr101 and

wr102; or wr121 and wr122; or three credits in writing and three credits in speech; or three credits in writing and rD117; or three credits in writing and Ba205.

C. Mathematics


D. Human relations

Three quarter credit hours; refer to the general education course list on page 9.

e. Humanities (arts and Letters)

12 credit hours in humanities (arts and letters) (maximum of six credit hours in skill oriented classes).

76

f. Social Sciences

12 credit hours in social science.

G. Science/Mathematics/Computer Science

9 credit hours in science or mathematics or computer science. (MTH20 and MTH40 are excluded and will not meet this require-ment.)

H. Complete the above requirements plus elective courses (no more than 25 credits of one discipline may apply as electives, with the exception of Special Studies curricula) to total 90 applicable credit hours. elective courses may be any course number 10 or higher, not including those listed as Developmental education courses, see page 217-218.

a maximum of 25 credits of enL courses, numbered 100 and above, may be applied toward the aGS degree. (enL94r, enL94S, and enL94w are not to be included. See Developmental education Courses.)

3. achieve a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher.4. Maintain a 2.00 GPa for all courses being applied toward the degree

and maintain a 2.00 GPa in the core requirements (an average; not a “C” in every class).

5. Satisfactorily earn a minimum of 24 hours of credit at Mt. Hood Community College and be in attendance at MHCC the term in which the degree is completed. non-traditional credit (College Level examination Program, advanced Placement Program, Challenge, experience-Based Credit, International Baccalaureate) does not satisfy this requirement.

If extenuating circumstances prevent a student from being in attendance the last term, the student may petition to take the remaining credits (maximum of nine) at a regionally accredited col-lege or university within one year from the date of last attendance at MHCC.

This request must be in writing and indicate the school at which the courses will be completed. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain written approval from MHCC of course acceptance prior to enrollment and to send an official transcript to MHCC upon comple-tion of the course work.

6. Complete the application process and pay a non-refundable ap-plication fee two quarters prior to the quarter of completion (i.e., spring term graduates must apply during fall term).

Please see pages 7-10 for additional information on associate of General Studies degree.

The Performing ArtsThe special studies curricula at Mt. Hood Community College are designed to provide opportunities for students who wish to attain an optimum of self-development in the performing arts. The programs also provide a basis for those who may later wish to expand into more specialized areas.

The special studies program is a two-year associate of General Studies degree program designed to provide students with the basic skills and techniques necessary for the development of their music or theatre interests. It differs from a transfer program in that the course require-ments provide for breadth as well as an opportunity to concentrate in special interest areas. Specialized courses not otherwise available in a transfer program are included.

Students who plan to graduate from Mt. Hood Community College with this associate degree should fulfill all the requirements in one of the curricula. Provision for related electives adds flexibility to the programs. Substitutions can be made for parallel or related courses on either the transfer or non-transfer levels with the approval of the associate dean.

The special studies curricula are not intended to meet prerequisites or to be transferable to a four-year college. any student who is planning to enroll in a special studies curriculum should understand

thoroughly this situation and the intent of the special studies pro-grams, and thus avoid possible disappointment later. Students who intend to earn a four-year degree in the arts should choose a college transfer program.

Special Studies: MusicThe curriculum in music is designed to give the student a broad background in the understanding of music and in the development of skills, with an opportunity to select areas in which he/she would like to specialize. It includes course work in music and in general education to total 90 hours; other related courses may be substituted with the approval of the Performing and visual arts program manager.

Students can prepare for more than sixty transfer majors at MHCC. MHCC’s transfer subject areas allow students to begin work on the Bachelor’s degree requirements of their chosen majors. advantages of starting a four-year program at MHCC include smaller classes, lower costs, instructors’ focus on teaching excellence, and the availability of skill-building courses in reading, writing and mathematics.

Planning for TransferIt is vital to plan ahead for transfer. with careful planning, students can complete lower division general education requirements and meet many requirements for their intended major while at MHCC. Professional academic advisers and faculty advisers can help students plan ahead by assisting in developing educational plans that meet the requirements of their chosen majors and transfer schools.

Transfer Departments and Advisersfaculty advisers provide advising assistance to students major-ing in their fields of expertise. a list of advisers for all majors is updated annually and can be found at www.mhcc.edu/pages/162.asp. Students may also contact the college departments listed below for the names of advisers in their chosen majors.

Academic Advising and Transfer CenterThe advising and Transfer Center’s resources include a library of regional college catalogs, comprehensive college directories, and on-line advising guides for colleges and universities. Students may use the center’s computer kiosks to access web pages for hundreds of colleges and universities. regular visits by transfer college representatives also enable MHCC students to make personal inquiries related to their transfer plans.

Transfer Daysrepresentatives from regional colleges and universities visit MHCC bi-annually for Transfer Days. Personal contact with college representatives offers a chance to ask for detailed information about transfer subjects and procedures. These “college fairs” give students the opportunity to investigate several colleges at one time. for information on upcoming Transfer Days, contact the academic advising and Transfer Center at 503-491-7315.

Associate of Arts-Oregon Transfer DegreeThis degree is designed for students planning to transfer into a bachelor’s degree program at one of Oregon’s public universities (University of Oregon, Oregon State University, eastern, western, Southern, Portland State University, or Oregon Institute of Technol-ogy). all of these universities accept the aa/OT as a “block transfer,” enabling a student to enter as a junior with all of the transfer school’s lower division general education requirements met. The aa/OT offers students the flexibility to choose courses that interest them while fulfilling requirements at their transfer schools.

Several Oregon Private Institutions and a limited number of 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.

Transfer Information

It is important to note that the aa/OT is not the best degree option for all majors. Students should consult advisers in their major areas for educational planning related to required courses in their majors.

Associate of Science – Oregon Transfer in BusinessThe aS/OT – Business degree is designed for business majors plan-ning to transfer to a baccalaureate degree program at four-year institutions in the Oregon University System (OUS). It does not guarantee admission to the Business school/program of any OUS institution. any student who holds the aS/OT – Business degree transferring to any institution in the Oregon University System, will have met the lower-division general education requirements for that institution’s baccalaureate degree programs. Students will also have junior standing for admission and registration purposes.

Associate of ScienceThe associate of Science degree is designed for students who plan to transfer and complete a Bachelors of Science degree at a four-year institution. The degree requirements allow students more flexibility in course selection allowing them to focus on their major require-ments. nOTe: completion of this degree does not guarantee that all lower-division General education requirements have been met for a baccalaureate degree (i.e. this is not a block transfer degree as is the aa/OT). In selecting courses for this degree, students are highly encouraged to consult the specific transfer curriculum pages in this catalog, the faculty adviser, and the institution to which they intend to transfer to determine if it is an appropriate choice.

Associate of General Studies degreeThis flexible degree option enables a student to complete an associate’s degree that is tailored to the general education requirements of the transfer school. Students must exercise caution in using the aGS option, as the degree does not guarantee transferability of courses completed. educational planning for the associate of General Studies should be done with the help of an adviser.

Oregon Transfer ModuleThe Oregon Transfer Module is a sub-set of the aa/OT. It is not a certificate or a degree. The Oregon Transfer Module is designed to provide students with the typical general education requirements required during the freshman year at the Oregon University System schools.

Direct TransferTransfer without a degree is an option for MHCC students. a student may select a major and transfer school, then take only the specific courses required for that major and/or college. Students in certain majors may need to transfer after one year to take advantage of critical major courses offered in the sophomore year. when a student opts for direct transfer, MHCC courses are evaluated and accepted on a course-by-course basis by the transfer school.

Direct transfer students must meet the transfer schools’ freshman’ or ‘transfer admission’ requirements. Catalogs from transfer institu-tions contain information about credit hour and grade point average requirements and transfer application procedures.

Successful TransferSuccess in the transfer process is largely the result of careful planning. It is each student’s responsibility to learn the program requirements of any prospective transfer school, and to keep up to date on changes in those requirements. Therefore, students should periodically contact the academic advising and Transfer Center and/or the transfer schools for updates. Prudent use of available resources and advising can help ensure smooth transition to a four-year institution. Students can benefit from following these tips for successful transfer:

• Plan ahead: enroll in HD100: College Success and/or contact an adviser during your first term at MHCC to develop an education plan. If you need help with choosing a major or career, enroll in HD110 or HD208.

• Maintain Contact: establish early contact with admissions representatives and major advisers 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. Transfer colleges have the “last say” on transferability.

• Utilize Transfer resources: This catalog, the advising and Transfer Center, quarterly Transfer Days; and MHCC faculty advisers are key sources of information and guidance.

• ask for Help: Make sure you have current and complete informa-tion; ask for what you need to complete the transfer process successfully.

Transfer HotlineIf a student has a problem transferring classes to a college or university, the student should first try to resolve the problem through contact with the transfer school. MHCC advisers may be of assistance in such cases. However, if a problem cannot be resolved, the student may call the Transfer Problem Hotline at the Oregon Department of education for help. The hotline number is 503-378-8609, ext 367.

How we see, create and respond to color, form, line, content and meaning are common to all forms of visual communication in a world of increasing dependence on visual information. The Department of visual arts at MHCC offers useful and relevant preparation for careers in technology, information, imaging and self-expression. at MHCC you work with instructors who have earned national and international recognition as practicing artists. Their goal is to provide you with a strong foundation in design and drawing while encouraging you to explore other studio options as well. You will learn, too, how to develop portfolio work that prepares you for transfer to both private and public art schools.


• exhibit competence in visual communication through the process of creating art

• employ aesthetic and critical thinking skills when transforming concept to form

• identify the historical, multicultural, and contemporary context

• articulate ideas expressed in artwork by integrating verbal, written, and visual communication skills.

The two-year program listed below is designed to meet the requirements for an associate of Science degree from MHCC. visual arts courses from MHCC generally transfer to most Oregon four-year educational institutions which grant baccalaureate degrees to art majors. However, it is highly recommended that students contact their transfer institution of choice immediately to begin the process of degree planning and to fulfill requirements for application and acceptance. MHCC visual arts faculty and advising staff will assist students in communicating with transfer institutions and assessing methods for meeting the transfer school’s requirements.

Be sure to see an adviser in the Department of visual arts (from the list above) to personalize this plan for your educational needs.

Economics Associate of ScienceMHCC Faculty Adviser Ted Scheinman: 50�-49�-7�04 - Room AC �66� [email protected]

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

economic majors find jobs in private industry and government. They continue in graduate school in law, political science, economics, business administration, and engineering.

So, if you want to have a broad background that can be applied to numerous other areas, economics is the major for you.


• understand 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.

Students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university after MHCC should consult with the institution they will be attending, the faculty adviser, and/or the MHCC academic advising and Transfer Center.

Beginning in summer, 2007, Mt. Hood Community College will change from three, three-credit economic courses (eC201, eC202 and eC203) to two, four-credit economics courses (eC201 and eC202). This is in alignment with Oregon University requirements for economics.

The two-year curriculum listed below is designed to meet requirements of the associate of Science degree from MHCC and to prepare students to complete a Bachelor degree in economics from an accredited college or university including: eastern Oregon University, Oregon State University, Portland State University, Southern Oregon University, University of Oregon and western Oregon University. This curriculum may be started in any quarter. nOTe: Oregon transfer students seeking a Bachelor of arts degree must complete the second year of a language other than english (201-203 or equivalent).

EducationAssociate of Arts - Oregon TransferMHCC Faculty Adviser Dr. Dain Smith: 50�-49�-7�05 - Room AC �67� [email protected]

If you want to be an elementary or secondary school teacher, you will be making a number of decisions: what age group do you want to teach? what subject do you want to teach? will you transfer to a school with an undergraduate (four-year/Bachelors) or graduate (fifth year/Masters) teaching program? which school do you want to transfer to? The answer to these questions will help determine the appropriate courses to take. MHCC offers a number of education courses to help you

determine if teaching is really for you and prepare you for transfer to a four-year 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.


• demonstrate the reflective practitioner skills of observation and reflection

• demonstrate their writing skills

• provide an educational plan for their preferred Teacher education program.

The sample two-year course of study listed below is designed to meet the requirements of the associate of arts Oregon Transfer (aa/OT) from MHCC and to prepare students to complete a baccalaureate degree in education from eastern Oregon University. education program requirements vary widely at the baccalaureate level so a student’s course work must be planned in accordance with their chosen transfer institution. Students completing an associate of arts degree are strongly encouraged to work closely with the MHCC education faculty adviser and their transfer institution to develop a meaningful course of study at MHCC.

The following sample assumes that two years of High School foreign language were completed. If not, two terms of college-level modern language must be completed.

The study of environmental Science equips students with a general understanding of the environmental challenges facing our world. It is an interdisciplinary science that prepares students for positions in a variety of fields including environmental policy, natural resource management, pollution control, conservation, lobbying, environmental education, and environmental communication.

The two-year course of study listed below is designed to meet the transfer requirements for Portland State University, Concordia University, and Marylhurst University through formal agreements with these institutions. However students from MHCC seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions that require different courses within the various subject areas of General education. Students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university after MHCC are highly encouraged to consult with the program adviser and the institution they will be attending. It should be noted that an associate Degree is not awarded at the completion of this course of study; rather students direct transfer to the four-year institution of their choice.

PhilosophyAssociate of Arts - Oregon TransferMHCC Faculty Adviser: Chris Jackson: 50�-49�-7�84 - Room AC �67� [email protected]

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, like with wines, the connoisseur of ideas can at least identify the few best answers, and from these few he or she can sometimes reach personal closure - an intelligent and informed personal closure. So why let others answer these questions for you? why settle for being a second-hand person? Isn’t it time to own your mind?


• identify questions addressed in the three main areas in philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology (including logic) and ethics

• articulate some of the contributions of the major philosophers (e.g., Socrates, Plato, Descartes, Kant, nietzsche, Mill, rawls, et cetera)

• articulate 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 english into the terms of symbolic logic

• distinguish the main valid forms from invalid impostors

• perform proofs.

The two-year program listed below is designed to meet the requirements for an associate of arts - Oregon Transfer degree from MHCC and prepare a student for obtaining a Bachelor of arts in Philosophy at eastern Oregon University, Oregon State University, Portland State University, Southern Oregon University, University of Oregon or western Oregon University. However, students from MHCC seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions. These institutions may require different courses within the various areas of General education requirements. Students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university after MHCC should consult with the institution they will be attending, the faculty advisers and/or the MHCC academic advising and Transfer Center.

• work cooperatively, use equipment and instruments properly, and carefully analyze data in the laboratory setting

• demonstrate mastery of physics concepts

• transition conceptual material into accurate mathematical models

• utilize calculus-based mathematics to solve physics problems

• transfer to four-year institutions and succeed in upper-division coursework.

The two-year program listed below is designed to meet the requirements for an associate of Science degree from MHCC and prepare a student for obtaining a Bachelor of Science/arts in Physics at eastern Oregon University, Oregon State University, Portland State University, Southern Oregon University, or University of Oregon. However, students from MHCC seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions that require different courses within the various subject areas of General education. Students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university after MHCC should consult with the institution they will be attending, the faculty adviser, and/or the MHCC academic advising and Transfer Center.

Political Science Direct Transfer CurriculumMHCC Faculty Adviser Janet Campbell: 50�-49�-74�0 - Room AC �677 [email protected]

The courses listed below are designed for direct transfer to four-year colleges/universities and completion of them does not result in an associate degree. They transfer to most universities and colleges as a social science distribution requirement or elective. as transfer policies at four-year schools differ, it is vital to check with the transfer institution directly for specific information.

each of the Political Science courses on this page is offered at least once a year at Mt. Hood Community College, and some are available in an Independent Study format.

So why study politics? Many students think political science is “dry” and “boring.” nOTHInG could be further from the truth. Politics affects the way you think, eat, dress, socialize, and work, so it may be worth knowing about. Once you DO know about it you can begin to 1) understand what is going on around you, and 2) think for yourself. Here’s what students say: “I feel more powerful now knowing what I know”, “it changed my life”, “it was fun!”

Admission to Limited and Restricted-Entry ProgramsApplying These programs have additional steps for students to take before they are considered for admission. Students must apply within the time period prescribed annually by the admissions, registration and records Office. Upon notice of acceptance into the program by the admissions, registration and records Office, the applicant must indicate his/her intention to enroll by completing registration prior to an established deadline. applications are for one academic year only. See records retention on page 221. You must reapply each year if not selected. admission to the college does not guarantee admission to a special program. See pages 16-17 for a list of limited and restricted-entry programs. a listing of limited and restricted-entry programs can also be found at www.mhcc.edu/Lradmissions.

Selection ProcessProgram personnel and a selection committee will review applicants who have satisfied the minimum selection criteria. applicants will be selected for program admission or as alternates by one or more of the following methods.• College placement test scores

• High school coursework

• College coursework

• related job experience

• Orientation/interview

• resume

• answers to supplemental questions

• Prior application to the program

• employment experience

• residency

• first priority consideration is given to applicants who reside in the MHCC district.

• Second priority is given to applicants who reside in the State of Oregon where there is no similar program offered.

• Third priority is given to applicants who reside in the State of Oregon where similar programs are offered.

• fourth priority is given to out of state applicants where no similar program is offered.

Course RequirementsThe course requirements for MHCC programs are subject to change each academic year. for MHCC certificate/degree requirements, a student must follow the program requirements either for the year the student is officially admitted to the program or the year the student is completing the program.

Student ProgressStudents in limited or restricted-entry programs are expected to complete the curriculum within the normal two-year period. However, a program may be extended with permission from the program faculty adviser. In such cases, the student will need to complete a “Petition for Change of

Status” form. This form outlines the details of the program extension agreement. Because of enrollment limitations, extending a program beyond two years must be on a space-available basis.

If the student’s studies are interrupted by two or more years, or if the course of study extends beyond five years, degree requirements for graduation may have changed and the student may be asked to complete current requirements in order to earn the certificate or degree. Students who are unable to maintain satisfactory progress may, through a process of review, be removed from a program. This is especially true in regard to clinical education in which patient safety is involved.

Advanced StandingStudents with previous training may be admitted to programs with advanced standing. This may be possible where students have partially completed similar programs at other institutions or where related one-year certificates have been completed.

Students seeking advanced placement into a limited or restricted-entry program should apply like other students. In the event they are offered admission the student will undergo a transcript evaluation to determine their advanced placement.

Registration and AttendanceRegistrationRegistering for Classesregistration is a formal process made by the student in the admissions, registration and records Office in the Student Services Center or via Touch Tone or the web.

Students may register via our online services (http://my.mhcc.edu/ics) or through Touch Tone until midnight the night before the first day of a class. registration is also available through the admissions, registra-tion and records Office in the Student Services Center during regular business hours.

after 12:01 a.m. on the day a class begins, instructor permission will be required to register late or to add the class. Instructor permission may be granted via an authorized or signed add form or email message. Instructors are available in person during posted office hours, by phone or email. Students may contact the administrative assistant of the area for contact information. Students are responsible for processing the approved add through the admissions, registration and records Office in the Student Services Center.

Students may only register or add a class through the 2nd week of instruction (or the equivalent for non-standard length classes) with the instructor’s permission. The Coordinator of registration or designee will handle any exceptions to this on a case-by-case basis.

Students whose names do not appear on the instructor’s class list are not officially registered and will not receive credit or grades.

Caution: Students should be aware that registering for classes after instruction has begun is detrimental to their learning. any student entering a course late will be held responsible for all materials previ-ously covered. Students are not guaranteed make-up privileges. Late registration may result in little or no refund period.

Wait Lists BEFORE Classes BeginIf a class is full, a student can choose to go on a wait list. wait lists are available only until a course begins. If, while on a wait list, a seat becomes available, the student will be officially added to the class by the admissions, registration and records Office; therefore, the student

Academic Regulations

��5

is responsible for knowing his/her position on the wait list or class list. Being added to a class from a wait list will affect the student’s financial account and the student is responsible for any additional tuition and/or fees.

Students may call 503-491-7393 or stop by the admissions, registra-tion and records Office in the Student Services Center to check their wait list or class list status.

Students will not be added to a class from a wait list if it creates a schedule conflict or if the student is already registered in another section of the same class. If on multiple wait lists for the same class, the student will be added to the first opening and dropped from all other wait lists.

Students need to notify the admissions, registration and records Office in the Student Services Center if they no longer want to be on a wait list.

Wait Lists AFTER Classes Beginafter classes begin, wait listed students will not automatically be added to a class. Therefore, wait listed students are encouraged to attend the first class session to find out if there will be an option to add. at this time, students must obtain the instructor’s permission (via an add slip, email or other documentation) to add the class. Students are responsible for processing the approved add through the admis-sions, registration and records Office in the Student Services Center.

Students whose names do not appear on the instructor’s class list are not officially registered and will not receive credit or grades.

Open Entry/Open Exit. all registration for open entry/open exit classes closes two weeks prior to the end of the term. at that time registration for open entry/open exit classes will be recorded for the following term.

AttendanceStudents are responsible for their attendance in courses for which they are enrolled.

See a specific course syllabus for attendance requirements.

IMPORTANTNo-Show Drop Procedure Students should be aware that attendance is mandatory the first week of some classes. also, students who do not attend class during the first four weeks of class (or the equivalent for non-standard length courses) may be dropped at the discretion of the instructor. However, non-attendance does not guarantee that you will be dropped from your classes. a failing grade may result based on non-attendance. It is the student’s responsibility to process a drop or withdrawal in the admissions, registration and records Office or by Touch Tone or web for classes they do not want.

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

Students are not automatically excused from other classes to attend field trips or intercollegiate functions. when schedule conflicts occur because of field trips, students should notify instructors of classes to be missed and, in cooperation with that instructor, make arrangements for completing the work missed. In case of an unsolvable conflict, students will not be penalized for missing the class or the field trip, whichever the case may be. Students whose absences are due to participation in intercollegiate functions and other co-curricular trips arranged by the college will be excused from class attendance but not from the responsibility for the work they miss during their absence for approved functions.

Dropping and WithdrawalsDropping a Class Standard term-length classes dropped within the first two weeks will not appear on the transcript. If a student drops or withdraws after the two-week period, a “w” grade will be assigned. non-attendance is not a basis for a refund or nonpayment of tuition. registration constitutes liability unless a formal drop or withdrawal is processed within the refund period through the admissions, registration and records Office. The refund date for each class is printed on the student class schedule. Please note: The refund date for single weekend computer courses is the Wednesday before the course begins.

a student may drop any standard-length class through the friday of the seventh week of instruction. Check with the admissions, registra-tion and records Office for the last day to drop nonstandard-length classes.

Students signing a deferment of funds are still liable even if the aid is denied unless they withdraw in writing in the admissions, registration and records Office within the refund period.

Withdrawing From Collegeformal withdrawal from the college is defined as dropping aLL classes. Students have the option to withdraw from college through the last day of instruction but before final exams. The withdrawal must be received and processed by the admissions, registration and records Office in one of the following ways: in-person, mail, Touch Tone, web or by telephone at 503-491-7393. note: after friday of the seventh week (or equivalent) students can only withdraw in person or by calling 503-491-7393. refunds and grades are determined according to regulations printed in the quarterly schedule.

If a student withdraws from college within the first two weeks of the term or the equivalent, the classes will not appear on the transcript.

If a student withdraws from college after the second week of the term, the classes with a grade of “w” will appear on the transcript. However, any grade earned to date in nonstandard term-length or mini-term classes will remain, and the “w” grade will be assigned only to classes not yet completed.

Students who merely stop attending classes without formally withdraw-ing will receive the grades assigned by their instructors and will not receive a refund of tuition and fees.

Students are advised to consult their instructors prior to withdrawal.

Students receiving veterans’ benefits also must notify the veterans’ clerk of intention to withdraw. failure to do so may result in overpayment which will need to be returned to the veterans administration.

Students receiving financial aid also must notify the financial aid office of their intention to withdraw.

Billing and CollectionTypes of Fees admission fee: a one-time, non-refundable fee charged to all new

students who register for credit-bearing courses. The fee is assessed the first time a student registers for a credit course.

Student fee: Student fees are disbursed on a comprehensive program basis for student government activities and for intercollegiate sports. The statement of philosophy of this financial support can be found in the appendix of Board Policy and college regulations.

Technology fee: Technology fees provide for 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: students (no credit or grade) pay in accordance with the

tuition/fee schedule.

residency: Determination of residence for admission and other purposes will be made according to the following definitions: residence is defined as a person’s domicile, his/her true fixed and permanent home and place of habitation. It is the place where one intends to remain, and to which one expects to return when one leaves without intending to establish a new domicile elsewhere. Domicile is not established by mere attendance at the college.

• a courtesy

• mailed to the address on the file

• an account of activity for the previous 30 days.

• not mailed for accounts with balances of $5.00 or less

note: It is the student’s responsibility to update the college with any change of address.

Past Due AccountTuition and fees that are not paid by the published due date are considered “past due”. The consequences for a past due account are as follows: Late payment penalty - failure to pay tuition/fees or to process

an approved Student Installment Payment note by the due date will result in late payment penalties. a $10 late fee is assessed on charges every 30 days past due with a maximum of $30 each term. a student account that has been assessed one late fee is considered a delinquent account.

financial holds -financial holds are placed on student accounts with past due balances after the 2nd friday of each term. This hold will restrict registration and withhold official transcripts, degrees and certificates.

Denial of credit - The College may require advance payment of future services on accounts that have been previously referred for collection.

Returned Checksa $20.00 penalty charge and all collection fees, including court costs and attorney fees, will be charged to the student account on returned checks of any nature.

any returned check intended as payment of a student account, will be considered as non-payment and subject to the conditions listed in the Past Due accounts section. If a returned check was used to pay off a previous debt in order to register for the current term, the student will be administratively dropped from the current term.

after the college has received two returned checks; personal checks will not be accepted. The student must remit with an alternative payment type; payment by cash, money order or credit card, visa or MasterCard, would be acceptable.

CollectionsDelinquent accounts 90 days past due may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection of the debt. The College cannot make or accept special payment arrangements to avoid assignment to a collection agency. The consequences for a student’s account being turned over to collections are as follows: Student will be responsible for repayment of the original debt plus

collection costs; court costs and attorney’s fees related to the col-lection of all delinquent debts owed to the college.

The Oregon Department of revenue may withhold the student’s tax refund and remit it to the college as payment toward their outstanding debt.

The student’s account may be reported to one or more nationally recognized credit-reporting bureaus.

arrangements for repayment must be made with the outside collection agency not the College.

educational debt is non-dischargeable under Section 523 (a) (8) of the US 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 noncollectable.

RefundsStudents will receive a 100 percent removal of tuition charges and refundable fees for classes dropped via the web, touch tone registration or in person at the Student Services office by the published refund date. refunds are automatically processed as a credit on the student account. any credit applied to a student account resulting from a removal of charges or overpayment will first be applied to any institutional debt, even if the amount owed is not yet due. Late registration, class additions or registering for the next term may result in little or no refund.

If any payments were made with a bank/credit card, refunds are first credited back to the card up to the amount charged. all other refunds will be by check made payable to the student and mailed to the address on file. refunds are not processed for amounts under $5.00 unless requested through the Business Office.

non-attendance is not a basis for a refund or nonpayment of tuition. registration constitutes liability unless a formal drop or withdrawal is processed during the refund period. Students using financial aid to pay tuition are still liable (even if aid is denied) unless they drop or withdraw within the refund period.

In some circumstances the student may be eligible to receive a pro-rated refund determined by the date they dropped the class, if there were serious and compelling circumstances beyond the student’s control which prevented the student from attending college.

Transfer CreditsTransferring from MHCC: Transfer students are responsible for determining the requirements of the institution and program to which they plan to transfer.

Transferring to MHCC: Mt. Hood Community College accepts college-level credits earned in academic certificate and degree programs from colleges and universities accredited by one of the following regional associations of Colleges and Schools -- Middle States, north Central, new england, northwest, Southern or western.

Students will need to request a transcript evaluation from the admissions, registration and records Office if transfer courses are to be applied toward an MHCC certificate or degree. This evaluation will be done once the student has enrolled in classes at Mt. Hood Community College and is official when a graduation application has been processed. Upon completion of the certificate or degree program, the transfer credits applied will be recorded on the MHCC student transcript. The transcript evaluation form is available at www.mhcc.edu/graduation.

Students should send official transcripts to the admissions, registration and records Office.

Transfer coursework from foreign institutions must be evaluated by an outside credential evaluation service. The evaluation company must be either aaCraO foreign education Credential Service (www.aacrao.org) or a member of the national association of Credential evaluation Services (naCeS). for a list of naCeS memberships, please refer to their web site at www.naces.org. The evaluation must be a course-by-course evaluation with an official copy submitted to the admissions, registra-tion 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.

Credit may be granted for military courses based upon The Guide to the evaluation of educational experiences in the armed Services and if the courses apply to the student’s MHCC major. Two (2) credit hours of Pe185 credit may be granted toward an associate Degree at Mt. Hood for completion of military basic training. a copy of the DD214 form is required.

Credit for trade or industrial experience and training will be granted upon completion and recommendation by the appropriate local training com-mittee. College fees for the degree assessed at the time of application will be based upon three conditions: 1) number of credits recommended by appropriate local training committee; 2) Current college fee per college credit; 3) number of credits previously paid for.

Dual Credit – Early Collegiate Opportunity/Tech Prep. College now is Mt. Hood Community College’s Dual Credit program. MHCC, in cooperation with MHCC district high schools, offers high school students the opportunity to earn MHCC college credit while enrolled in high school. Credits can be earned in both lower-division college transfer courses and professional-technical courses. The procedure for earning credit may be through completion of course standards as approved by MHCC instructional staff or as detailed in program articulation

agreements. earned credit will be transcripted on the MHCC permanent record. earning MHCC credit at district high schools does not automatically enroll a person in a MHCC certificate or degree program. MHCC admissions procedures and requirements must still be met.

a list of courses approved to earn MHCC credit during high school is available in each high school’s counseling office or online at www.mhcc.edu/pages/1069.asp. Office. The list of College now approved courses varies among high schools.

GradesGrades are not mailed. They are available via the web at www.mhcc.edu. Your user name is your MHCC ID number.

Grade Point Averagea excellent: 4 points for each credit hourB above average: 3 points for each credit hourC average: 2 points for each credit hourD Below average: 1 point for each credit hourf failing: 0 points for each credit hourU Unsatisfactory: 0 points per credit hour

The following are not included in GPA calculations:S Satisfactory: 0 points per credit hourI Incomplete: 0 points per credit hourK Continuing Progress: 0 points per credit hourx audit: 0 points per credit hourw withdrawal: 0 points per credit hournr not received from instructorIP Course still In-Progress

MHCC computes GPa using the 4-point system and by dividing the total grade points by the total quality credits. Grades are assigned based on work completed at the end of the scheduled class time. additional work or make-up after the ending date of the class is not justified unless an Incomplete was assigned.

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

Incompletesa student may be assigned an “I” (Incomplete) when insufficient work to justify a grade has been done by the student due to excusable reasons. Though individual circumstances may warrant unique decisions, it is commonly expected that the student will have completed at least 75 percent of the course requirements.

Incompletes are to be made up prior to the end of the following term unless the student is no longer enrolled. Under these circumstances, the work must be made up in the term of the return with only a four-quarter maximum (including summer) permitted. Incompletes not made up within these timelines do not automatically revert to a grade. They remain an “I,” unless changed by the instructor.

K Grade a “K” (continuing progress) indicates that a student was registered for the course, was in attendance, met some of the objectives but did not advance far enough to receive credit for completion. This grade designation is limited to developmental education courses and to open entry/open exit courses (where the student is permitted to proceed at one’s own pace). a student who receives a “K” grade must reregister, repay, and pass the class satisfactorily to receive credit. The K grade remains on the transcript. a student completing a developmental education course may receive a “K’ grade up to two times for the same

��0

course and may only take the course a third time with the recommendation of the developmental education instructor and the associate vice President of Career Development and enrollment Services. note: Students attempting a course for a third time who are receiving financial aid, veterans’ benefits or athletic eligibility must reregister for these credits above and beyond the hours necessary to maintain benefits.

Pass/Fail OptionCertain courses offer the student an option to receive a grade of S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) instead of letter grade (a, B, C, D, or f). This option must be exercised at the time of registration or no later than the end of the seventh week of instruction for standard term-length classes. Check with the admissions, registration and records Office for last day to change grading status for nonstandard-length classes.

S Gradefor 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 courses are not eligible for financial aid.

Grade Point Average Adjustmenta student may petition for a grade point average adjustment when a course has been repeated for a higher grade. Both courses must have been taken at Mt. Hood Community College and the initial course must have been completed spring term 1985 or later. Only one adjustment per course will be processed. a course previously passed, when repeated, does not count toward graduation. for GPa adjustments processed on courses transcripted prior to SU96, both the term and cumulative GPa are adjusted. for GPa adjustments processed on courses transcripted SU96 or after, only the cumulative GPa is adjusted. Since some colleges count all grades in computing the GPa, a student should be aware that this possibility exists should the student transfer. See the admissions, registration and records Office for more information.

• Creating an atmosphere in which the student may become successful in his/her pursuit of an education.

Academic Review and Referralat the end of each term, the college reviews the grade point average achieved by each student enrolled in 9 or more credits. If a student’s term GPa falls below 2.00, the student is notified of their academic status and referred to the academic advising and Transfer Center for academic assistance. The following statuses can be assigned:

WarningStudents who achieve a term GPa between 1.50 and 1.99 are placed on academic warning.

Graduation Process1. Students earning a certificate or degree from Mt. Hood Community

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

2. Students have the choice of following the catalog of the year they began their studies or the year they are ending their studies, but nOT a combination. Unless noted on the graduation application, the degree audit report (DarS) will be done on the year the student will be completing their studies. Students in Professional/Technical programs should meet with their program advisor to determine which catalog year they should apply for. Students admitted to a degree program are expected to complete the curriculum within the normal two-year period.

��

If the student’s studies are interrupted by two years or more and if degree requirements for graduation have not changed significantly*, the student will be asked to provide written ap-proval from the program advisor in order to apply the original coursework toward a degree.

*The process for earning a degree for programs that are no longer offered or for which the student’s course of study has extended beyond a reasonable timeframe is under review. Any decision regarding such practice will be posted on the web version of the catalog. Please refer to www.mhcc/edu/pages/�76�.asp.

3. Students should secure their graduation application forms from the ar&r Office or on the MHCC website at www.mhcc.edu/pages/1384.asp, complete the application and return it with the application fee to the cashier station in the Student Services lobby or mail to the ar&r Office.

Do you want the college to release limited directory information

about you to anyone requesting? (This means that MHCC will verify if you are currently enrolled — see Directory Information below for details.) If yes, you do not need to do anything. If you have concerns about release of limited directory information, see instructions below for requesting that this information not be released.

2. Do you object to the college releasing your name, address, telephone number and certain other information to military recruiters as required under the Solomon amendment? If you request that this information not be released, MHCC will not release to military recruiters or other parties except as specified in this notification or upon written permission from you.

3. Do you object to the college using and releasing your Social Security number (SSn) for state reporting and other related activities? This includes release of your SSn to the Internal revenue Service so that you may take advantage of benefits under the Taxpayer relief act of 1997, which includes a tax credit on tuition and eligible fees and/or interest deduction on outstanding educational loans. again, at the time of registration, you will be given the opportunity to request that your SSn not be used or released. Please review the following release of Information policy and decide your answer to the three previous questions.

Release of InformationEducational Records PolicyThe 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 informa-tion contained in the student’s education records, except for when consent is not required by ferPa. ferPa does not require a student’s consent when disclosure is to other school officials with legitimate educational interests. a school official is a person employed by the college in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position; a person or company with whom the college has contracted or appointed as its agent; or a student serving on an official committee or assisting another school official in performing the official’s tasks. a school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his/her professional responsibilities. ferPa also allows colleges to disclose a student’s directory information without consent, but the student may request that his/her directory information not be released. If the student wishes to make such a request, he/she must do so according to procedures outlined in Directory Information restriction (see below).

• The right to file a complaint with the Department of education, family Compliance Office, concerning alleged failures by the college to comply with the requirements for ferPa.

Directory Information Mt. Hood Community College has chosen to release limited Directory Information as defined in the family educational rights and Privacy act (ferPa). The following information is considered to be MHCC Directory Information and will be released upon verbal request to anyone:

• Student’s current enrollment status,• verification of certificate or degree earned,• whether student is participating in officially recognized sports; and height and weight of members of athletic teams.

Students are employed in some areas of the college as work study and student aides, and before any access to student records is given to them, they receive ferPa information and sign off on the institutional statement of understanding form that validates they have been given and understand ferPa requirements.

exceptions to this limited release may include but are not limited to: (1) we may release alumni names and addresses to the alumni Office for their communication with MHCC graduates. alumni are defined as students having graduated from MHCC whether currently enrolled or not, (2) we may release the names of students making the vice President’s and President’s Lists, academic or athletic Honors/awards, or information to hometown newspapers of students attending the college, (3) student athletes may sign a special release of information form through the athletic Department for the release of information regarding their registration activity, grades and access to their permanent record by their coach or the Dean of Health and Physical education/athletic Director. They may also give permission to release academic records and pictures to coaches representing four-year colleges and to media representatives.

Disclosure of education records is allowed when a court approves an application submitted by an assistant U.S. attorney General (or higher-ranking federal official) that contains “specific and articulable facts” that the education records are relevant to the investigation of or prosecution of terrorism. ferPa was amended to allow such disclosure by Section

507 of the Uniting and Strengthening america by Providing appropriate Tools required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USa PaTrIOT) act, signed by President Bush on October 26, 2001.

Directory Information for use within the college is permitted in accordance with ferPa guidelines; however, disclosure within the college does not constitute institutional authorization to transmit, share, or disclose any or all information received to a third party.

What it means to restrict informationwhen you restrict the release of directory information, the above information will not be released.

You will be required to present photo identification or personal identifica-tion number (PIn) when you wish to inquire about your own academic or registration history. Information will not be provided to anyone, including persons who claim to be you, parents, relatives, friends, other students, or prospective employers, who may wish to contact you or verify your status at the college, without written authorization from you.

restricted directory information is made available where an emergency is involved, at the direction of a subpoena or court order, to MHCC staff and faculty with a legitimate educational need to know, or in other limited situations described in this notification.

Where and when to make your Directory Restriction requesta request to Prevent Disclosure of Directory Information form is avail-able in the admissions and records Office. Complete the form, including signature and date, and return it. Your request to place or remove the restriction is effective no later than two (2) working days after it is received.

Duration of the restrictionThe restriction of information is permanent until you request, in writing, that it be removed. The restriction will remain in place even after you have stopped attending or have graduated from the college.

Release of Grades and Course EvaluationsThe Student records Policy prohibits publicly disclosing grades linked to personal identifiers, such as names, student numbers, or social security numbers. Grades may be posted by assigning another unique number.

The return of graded papers or other assignments must also be ac-complished in a manner that protects the identity of the student. The instructor is responsible for protecting the identity of the student.

Registration Tamperingaltering the registration records of another student without that student’s permission is considered a violation of the student conduct code. See MHCC Student Handbook under Student Code of Conduct (see also, www.mhcc.edu/pages/1459.asp.

Solomon Amendment DisclosureThe Solomon Amendment requires by law that the college release:• student name• address• telephone number• date of birth• education level• academic major• degrees receivedUpon request from recruiters of the branches of the US military.

Use of Social Security Number Disclosure Oar 581-41-460 authorizes Mt. Hood Community College to ask you to provide your social security number. The number will be used by the college for keeping records, doing research, aggregate reporting, and extending credit and collecting debts. Your number also will be provided by the college to the Oregon Community College Unified reporting System (OCCUrS), which is a group made up of all community colleges in Oregon, the State Department of Community Colleges and workforce Development and the Oregon Community College association. OCCUrS gathers information about students and programs to meet state and federal reporting requirements. It also helps colleges plan, research and develop programs. This information helps the colleges to support the progress of students and their success in the workplace and other educational programs. when conducting studies, MHCC will disclose your social security number only in a manner that does not permit personal identification of you by individuals other than representatives of MHCC (or the organization conducting the study for MHCC). By providing your social security number, you are consenting to the uses identified below. Provision of your social security number and consent to its use is not required and if you choose not to do so, you will not be denied any right, benefit, or privilege provided by law. You may revoke your consent for the use of your social security number at any time by contacting the admissions and records Office.

OCCURS and the college also may match your social security number with records from the following systems:• State and private universities, colleges and vocational schools, to

find out how many community college students go on with their education and to find out whether community college courses are a good basis for further education.

• The Oregon employment Department, which gathers information to help state and local agencies plan education and training services to help Oregon citizens get the best jobs available.

• The Oregon Department of education to provide reports to local, state, and federal governments. The information is used to learn about education, training and job market trends for planning, research and program improvement.

• The workers Compensation Division, to track the successful retraining of injured workers.

• The Oregon Department of revenue and collection agencies only for purposes of processing debts and only if credit is extended to you by the college.

• The national Student Loan Clearinghouse for student financial aid processing and/or research on transfer.

• The Internal revenue Service, to provide required information related to the Taxpayer relief act of 1997.

In addition, the college may release your social security number to business firms under contract with the college for research, planning and program development purposes. In such cases, strict confidentiality is part of the contractual agreement with the firm. Your number will be used only for the purposes listed above. State and federal law protects the privacy of your records.

offer knowledge that enables students to communicate effectively, to explain relationships among societies, to articulate what it is to be human, to develop artistic expression, to analyze the natural world, and to make informed decisions about physical and mental health. a second purpose of general education is to equip students with the mental skills they must possess if they are to learn independently. Mental skills such as listening, speaking, writing, computing, analyzing, synthesizing and deliberating logically will enable students to learn on their own throughout their lives.

Mt. Hood Community College intends that students who complete general education classes in the various categories listed below shall possess the kinds of knowledge and the kinds of mental skills essential if they are to develop their potential as individuals and as citizens. General education requirements are aimed at conveying to students the knowledge that each person is valuable and that communities of people are valuable. They are designed to prepare students to promote their own personal well being and that of society.

a core of general education instruction permeates each of the college’s five degrees (aaS, aGS, aa/OT, aS, aS/OT-Business), of-fering students many opportunities to acquire the knowledge and mental skills they must possess to become lifelong learners and responsible citizens.
