PCC Catalog 2010-11

2010-2011

Welcome to Portland Community College. This catalog is a tool kit. Dig around and you’ll find exactly the right tool for whatever project you have. Are you looking for an affordable launch pad for a four-year degree? This catalog is Step 1. Are you looking for training in a new career or re-training in your current one? Seeking a certificate for professional development? Are you a high school student hoping for an alternative route to your diploma or on the hunt to make your education more challenging? The tool kit is right here. Our enrollment has increased greatly, up almost 20 percent over last year. But we knew this was coming and we’re ready to absorb the additional students. We recently opened administrative offices in downtown Portland, freeing up space on our three campuses for more classrooms and labs. We opened the Willow Creek Center in Washington County. We’ve purchased land in Newberg for a new classroom facility. Plus, thanks to our successful bond measure in 2008, we are in the early stages of revamping and expanding our three primary campuses – Sylvania in Southwest Portland, Rock Creek in Washington County and Cascade in North Portland – as well as the Southeast Center on 82nd Avenue and Division. The recent recession and the slow recovering have forced many of us to re-evaluate our life plans. Portland Community College is there to help make that process work. Our goal is to better serve this community, to help drive the region out of its economic doldrums and to train the workforce of today and of tomorrow. This catalog is the way to start.

If approved to move forward you will be asked to follow these steps in this order: 1. Apply for admission. 2. Take a college placement exam. Regardless of what type of classes you intend to take at PCC, you must place at the minimum levels of Writing 115, Reading 115, and Math 60. Desired classes may require additional prerequisites. 3.

at their local high schools by PCC qualified teachers. These classes are equivalent to courses offered on a PCC campus. High school students may obtain PCC credits in these “articulated” (dual credit) courses, at no cost saving both time and money in their post secondary educational pursuits. About 45 high school sites (some outside of the PCC district) participate in this dual credit program. Some high schools offer Career and Technical Education (CTE) articulated (dual credit) courses connected to more than 25 PCC CTE programs. Examples include Drafting, Office Systems, Health Services, Early Childhood Education, Auto Service Technology, Building Construction, Engineering, Machine Manufacturing, Fire Protection and Welding. Some of the high schools also offer courses connected to one or more 16 PCC Lower Division Transfer subject areas. Examples include American Sign Language, Biology, Computer Science, Dance, English, Mathematics, Writing and History.

EXPaNDED oPtIoNS PrograM (EoP)
PCC partners with local high schools to provide opportunities for high school students to take regular PCC courses through the Expanded Options Program (EOP). The EOP was established by the Oregon Legislature in 2005 with the enactment of Senate Bill 300 and modified by the Legislature in 2007 with Senate Bill 23. The EOP provides the opportunity for high school juniors and seniors who are at least 16 years of age and currently enrolled in high school to take regular PCC classes that relate to the career and educational plan of the student at the expense of his/her local school district. To take advantage of the EOP a student must first consult with his/ her high school counselor and meet the high school’s criteria for EOP participation. After approval and referral by the authorized high school contact, the student applies to PCC through the PCC Admissions Office and eventually enrolls in regular PCC courses. EOP is one of several opportunities for high school students to earn PCC credit. Others include the PCC Dual Credit program through the PAVTEC Education Consortium and the PCC High School Completion program.

You are responsible for keeping PCC informed of any address or telephone changes. If you are under 18 years of age, you are liable for any charges incurred in accordance with ORS 348.105. If your account is referred for collection you agree to pay all reasonable collection fees and related costs. If you are unable to attend, remember to drop the class, even if you are only on the wait list. Once you are enrolled in a class, tuition charges will be removed only if your drop is received by the student-initiated drop deadline published in the class schedule. All term charges must be paid in full before a student will be allowed to register for the next term.

aDDINg or DroPPINg a ClaSS
Written instructor approval is required to add a class after the first class session. Approval forms are available at any Registration Office or online.

CoNtINuINg EDuCatIoN ClaSSES
Course numbers beginning with “CEU” are classes that award Continuing Education Units (CEUs) rather than college credits. CEUs are not equivalent to credit hours and therefore may not be used toward PCC certificates or degrees. Some programs offering CEU classes offer recertification or CEU certificates. One CEU is awarded for each 10 hours or their equivalent. PCC transcript records are available for CEU hours. Tuition for CEU courses is charged regardless of the number of credit hours for which the student enrolls. CEU classes do not meet the federal requirements for financial aid or most Veterans’ benefits.

latE PaYMENt
Past due accounts are subject to late payment penalties and financial holds which restrict future registration, transcripts and other college services. Accounts referred for collection are subject to collection costs and attorney fees. Students with past due accounts may also be institutionally withdrawn from courses or required to pay upon registration.

DEGREE, CERTIFICATE, AND COURSE OVERVIEW
Portland Community College operates on the quarter system. The PCC Catalog is published and dated with each academic year, which begins fall term and ends with the next summer term. To earn an associate degree or a certificate, students must meet the requirements in the catalog that is current when they earn their first credit(s) at PCC, unless they choose to meet the requirements of a later catalog. However, students who do not earn at least one PCC credit each academic year lose the right to meet the requirements of their original catalog. They must then meet requirements of the current catalog at the time they resume work on their degree or certificate at PCC, or a later catalog. If you have not been consecutively enrolled (earning at least one credit per academic year) at the time you apply for graduation, you must meet the requirements of the most current catalog. Your degree will be awarded based on your application date. An edition of the catalog is valid for six academic years. For example, a catalog that takes effect fall term 2005 is only valid through summer term 2011. However, some programs may impose shorter time limits on accepting credits for degree or certificate requirements. Occasionally the college may change courses and course numbers within a program. Students should regularly consult an advisor in their major department about their course of study. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this catalog, Portland Community College has the right to make changes at any time without prior notice.

Credit courses that support PCC’s degrees and certificates are listed in the Course Description section of the catalog. We strongly urge students to meet with PCC advisors to make an academic plan. In selecting course offerings to support their educational goals, students should keep in mind the following: Course Prerequisites: Most Lower Division Collegiate courses have a standard prerequisite • Reading: Successful completion (C or better) of RD 115, or equivalent test score, or successful completion (C or better) of WR 121, and • Writing: Successful completion (C or better) of WR 115, or placement into WR 121, and • Math: Successful completion (C or better) of MTH 20, or placement into Math 60 In a standard prerequisite course, a D, F or NP will not satisfy the requirement. Some courses may have higher requirements in these areas and/ or additional prerequisites as appropriate. See individual course prerequisites. Instructors may waive prerequisites on a case-bycase basis. Three to Four Credit Conversion: Some lower division collegiate courses (LDC) have changed from three to four credits at PCC. For degrees and certificates requiring specific LDC courses, the three credit version of the same course is generally accepted. PCC degree and certificate minimum requirements must be met. Experimental Courses: Experimental courses are courses numbered 99, 199 and 299. These courses may be offered twice in a 15 month period. After that time, they must either be converted to a regularly numbered course or inactivated. While experimental courses may count for graduation at PCC, they may not be acceptable for transfer to other institutions. Non-credit courses: PCC offers a large number and variety of non-credit courses for personal and career advancement as well as continuing education for professionals in several areas.

ALCOHOL AND DRUG COUNSELOR
Cascade Campus Jackson Hall (JH), Room 210 Program Admissions: 503-978-5667
www.pcc.edu/addiction

The majority of program courses are offered in late afternoons or evenings to accommodate students working during the day. A few courses are offered via distance learning format. The program has been designed to prepare individuals for entry into the alcohol and drug counseling field. The program also serves to update the skills of addiction counselors and related professionals. Criminal justice personnel, mental health counselors, health care workers, and prevention specialists have utilized our program for professional upgrading. Individuals wishing to take a specific course without acceptance in the program need to consult the department chair at 503-978-5254. The program has an agreement with Warner Pacific College, Concordia University and Grand Canyon University allowing graduates to be accepted at the junior level to work toward a bachelors’ degree. Other four-year institutions may also accept a portion of the program’s credits for application toward their degree. Students interested in pursuing their four year degree should contact a representative of their college of choice. Transferability of credits to another institution is subject to the approval of that institution. Students may enroll in AD 101, AD 102, AD 103, AD 104, AD 184, WR 121, WR 122, PSY 239 and General Education courses prior to being accepted into either the degree or the certificate program. Although only required for the prevention program award AD 241, AD 242 and AD 243 can be taken without program admission. The Addiction Studies Certificate is for persons with college degrees: Persons with an associates, bachelors, masters or higher degree from an accredited college or university may apply for admission to the addiction studies certificate program.

CAREER AND PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Alcohol and drug counselors work in public and private sector organizations to provide diagnosis, assessment, education, referral and treatment services to clients with alcohol and other drug problems.

Documentation of not abusing alcohol or drugs for 18 months prior to admission. 5. Complete the A&D Counselor Program application. 6. After a complete application is approved, the student should schedule an advising session with a program advisor. While participating in the program, recovering students will agree to abstain from alcohol and illicit drug use. All other students must agree to not abuse alcohol and other drugs while in the program. Anyone interested in working in the addiction counseling profession in the State of Oregon should be aware that a Criminal History Check as a condition of employment is a standard practice. A conviction does not automatically disqualify someone from obtaining employment. Each situation is evaluated on a case by case basis and therefore it is very difficult to predict in advance who can be employed in any given employment situation. It is commonplace for individuals with a conviction on their record to be employed in the addiction counseling profession. The Alcohol and Drug Counselor Program cannot determine in advance who is or is not employable due to their criminal history.

DESCRIPTION
Anthropology is the study of people. In this discipline, people are considered in all their biological and cultural diversities, in the present as well as in the prehistoric past and wherever people have existed. Students are introduced to the interaction between people and their environments to develop an appreciation of human adaptations past and present. Anthropology can be a synthesizing focus for data from many fields of inquiry and has integral importance in preparing students to survive and play positive roles in our emergent transcultural world. Students can pursue careers in teaching, research and other fields after completing graduate work. At PCC, the general anthropology and cultural anthropology sequences are offered yearly. All other courses may be offered less frequently. The department suggests, but does not require that students take cultural anthropology and field archaeology in sequential order. See the Course Description section of this catalog for individual Anthropology (ATH prefix) courses and specific course prerequisites.

PCC’s Trades and Industry Department is an approved training agent for continuing education for journey person electrical license renewal through the State of Oregon Electrical Licensing Division.

CAREER AND PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Portland Community College provides courses in accordance with the Apprenticeship and Training Laws for the State of Oregon. These courses present technical instruction for the trades and are intended to complement on-the-job skills for both men and women. Each apprenticeable trade has a Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) which outlines the procedures to become a journey person. This outline usually consists of two to five years of supervised, on-the-job experience in various aspects of the trade in conjunction with PCC course work. The JATC committees outline the type of supportive courses needed to prepare students to become qualified journey persons in addition to working with related training courses. The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Industrial Technology Apprenticeship Degree was discontinued in Spring 2009. The new Statewide Apprenticeship degree pathways have replaced the old degree and offers AAS degrees and certificates of completion in electrical, manual construction trades, and industrial mechanics and maintenance. Students transitioned to the new Statewide Apprenticeship Degrees and Certificates from Spring Term 2008 to Spring Term 2009. The ‘Sunset Period’ that was offered during the transition period is no longer available for the preceding Industrial Technology Degree. Consult the Trades and Industry Department for assistance in program planning and transcript evaluation. It is recommended to have your graduation petition and transcript evaluation approved by a Trades & Industry Department advisor prior to filing your petition. Students wanting to move into management, supervision, or small business management can transfer to Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) with related-training credits toward a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Operations Management after earning an Apprenticeship AAS degree.

PrE-aPPrENtICEShIP
PCC provides Pre-Apprenticeship opportunities to students seeking careers in the trades or an apprenticeship. These courses prepare students to apply for an apprenticeship, meet the minimum entry qualifications, and possibly boost your application score. Woman and minorities are encouraged to participate. The Trades Preparation course covers construction trade topics, industry orientation, material handling, scaffolding, rigging, hand and power tool use, 30 hour OSHA safety certification, site visits and mock interviews. This course is approved by the Oregon Apprenticeship Council as an authorized Pre-Apprenticeship course. The Exploring Trades and Apprenticeship course explores career opportunities within the Trades. It introduces resources for assisting students in identifying the skills needed to succeed in these fields. Consult the Trades and Industry Department for assistance in program planning.

BIOSCIENCE TECHNOLOGY

CAREER AND PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Bioscience Technology refers to the research and development of products which use the processes, products or principles of living organisms to solve problems. The applications of bioscience range from developing and manufacturing better ways to diagnose and treat disease, to improving the production of plant crops, and even using microorganisms to clean up toxic wastes. The field is dynamic, employing applications and innovations that are cutting-edge and in many cases cut across traditional disciplines. Skilled technicians with broad-based laboratory training find employment in a variety of settings, working with scientists at all levels in research, development, manufacturing, testing, and quality control and assurance. Technicians are needed in both large and small companies, research institutions, at local and state agencies, in private service laboratories and in some related industries. Course work in the Bioscience program involves four distinct elements. Basic science courses provide the background information so that technical elements can be more completely understood. The foundation course work provides a broad base of technical knowledge that prepares individuals for entry-level positions in a variety of Bioscience companies, and includes emphasis on working in a regulated environment, as well as developing skill in technical communication and job readiness. The core of these foundation courses make up the Biotechnician Certificate. The advanced technical courses develop more specific skill sets, and provide for development of the fundamental skills in this more advanced context. Students may choose some electives from outside of the BIT program, in order to increase the breadth of training or focus on a specify sector of the bioscience industry. Once the formal course work has been completed, the work experience component will ensure that students have a chance to put their skills and knowledge into a working context. The AAS in Bioscience Technology also allows for a smooth transfer to Portland State University toward a bachelor’s degree in Biology.

DESCRIPTION
Chemistry is the fundamental science of matter – its structure, composition, and transformations. As such, chemistry has wide applications in all the physical, biological, and behavioral sciences. Chemistry is involved in solving some of the most pressing problems facing our society today, such as environmental problems, medical issues, dwindling energy resources, the need for new and better materials, and worldwide food shortages. Courses in chemistry are offered for students who will transfer to four-year institutions, who are completing requirements for career technical programs, or who are taking courses for personal enrichment. Chemistry courses at PCC are equivalent to freshman and sophomore courses at four-year colleges and universities. Students should check the specific requirements of the institution to which they plan to transfer prior to finalizing their course of study at PCC. For complete listing of Chemistry (CH prefix) courses, see Course Descriptions at the end of the catalog

DESCRIPTION
College students face numerous challenges, not the least of which are learning how to manage time, finances, and personal commitments. While developing an understanding of their own unique strengths and skills, students must choose an appropriate major and make careful career choices. These challenges, combined with those of everyday living, present an opportunity to grow from important life experiences, renew one’s career commitments, and oftentimes, manage an exciting career change. PCC’s Career Guidance and College Success courses are designed to help students get the most out of their college experience; choose a career or major; explore changing careers; and assess and develop strengths and personal skills. “College Survival and Success” and “Scholarships: $$ for College” gives students the tools and resources to begin their college experience successfully; “Study Skills for College Learning” helps students develop their academic abilities; and “Career and Life Planning” offers students tools to make important major and career decisions. Other personal growth and self-enhancement courses, such as “Stress Management” and “Decision Making” allow students to grasp the day-to-day challenges they face in balancing school and life. See the Course Description (CG prefix) section of this catalog for individual Career Guidance and College Success courses and course prerequisites.

CHICANO/LATINO STUDIES
Rock Creek Campus Building 3, Room 201 503-614-7235

DESCRIPTION
Chicano/Latino Studies is the interdisciplinary study of the social, cultural, political, economic, and historical forces that shaped and continue to shape the development of the people of Mexico and other Latin American countries in the United States over the past 300 years. Emphasis is on the experience of the Chicano/Mexican-American and other Latinos as residents and citizens in the United States and not in their countries of origin or descent. The Chicano/Latino experience pre-dates the mid-19th century. Chicanos and other Latinos living in the United States have developed rich and extensive literature, and became involved in and made major contributions to all aspects of life in the United States. PCC courses in this area of study are designed to transfer with full credit to the Chicano/Latino Studies Certificate program at Portland State University. They will transfer to most other colleges and universities as elective credit. Students planning to transfer to a college or university other than Portland State University should see a counselor for additional information and guidance. See the Course Description (CHLA prefix) section of this catalog for individual courses and course prerequisites.

However, the student should read the Chinese course descriptions for other Chinese courses. Students who have studied a language before and are unsure of their placement are encouraged to consult with a world language teacher since they will not be admitted to a course if their skill level is too advanced for that course. All students who enroll in world language classes (including those on the waiting list) are expected to attend class the first day when material essential for completion of the course will be presented. Students who do not attend the first class session may be replaced by those who do attend. See the Course Description (CHN prefix) section of this catalog for individual Chinese language courses and their prerequisites.

DESCRIPTION
Computer science is the study of information systems, their representation, architecture, and implementation, used for a variety of practical and theoretical purposes. Computer science addresses methods by which data is accessed, stored, and retrieved, which include areas such as representational computation, programming languages, algorithmic modeling, and software design, testing and development. Computer scientists apply their knowledge of mathematics, physics, and logic to solve a variety of problems using diverse technology. Students learn practical methods of reasoning, problem-solving, and theoretical analysis to develop their skills in computer science. While exploring general courses in programming, systems analysis, mathematics, and physics, students apply their skills to core challenges within the field.

CAREER AND PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Engineering is a profession in which knowledge of mathematics and natural sciences gained through study and experience is applied for the benefit of society. Engineers solve technical problems as members of project teams or as individual specialists. Work may involve research, development, planning, design, construction, manufacturing, supervision and management. Engineering is a licensed profession in all states. PCC offers curricula equivalent to the first two years of study in chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering, and construction engineering management at Oregon State University (OSU), Portland State University (PSU), the University of Portland (UP), Washington State University-Vancouver (WSUV) and Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT). Equivalent first and second year courses are also available for students interested in other majors or universities. (Note: not all majors listed are available at all the institutions listed.) Advising guides outlining which engineering, mathematics, science and general education courses to take for the disciplines listed above have been prepared in cooperation with OSU, PSU, UP, WSUV and OIT. Following these advising guides will prepare students to transfer for their upper division studies. It is recommended that students prepare for transfer by selecting courses that meet lower division university requirements rather than by seeking a degree. Students interested in a degree should refer to the Comprehensive Degree Requirements section of this catalog for information concerning the granting of degrees.

The objective of all French courses is to help students develop communicative competence and proficiency in comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing French as well as cultural awareness. Assessment is based on consistent attendance, active student participation, and written and oral assignments. There are no requirements or prerequisites for entry into the first term of first year French. However, the student should read the French course descriptions for other French courses. Students who have studied a language before and are unsure of their placement are encouraged to consult with a world language teacher since they will not be admitted to a course if their skill level is too advanced for that course. All students who enroll in world language classes (including those on the waiting list) are expected to attend class the first day when material essential for successful completion of the course will be presented. Students who do not attend the first class session may be replaced by those who do attend. See the Course Description (FR prefix) section of this catalog for individual French language courses and their prerequisites.

DESCRIPTION
Geography is concerned with the uniqueness of places. What makes one place unique and different from another? What are the factors and processes, both human and physical, which account for this uniqueness? Geography is not concerned with memorization of place names (capitals, rivers etc,) lists of imports and exports or other statistical information. See the Course Description (GEO prefix) section of this catalog for individual Geography courses and course prerequisites.

CAREER AND PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Careers in gerontology are among the next big things in the 21st century workplace, and PCC’s gerontology program is on the cutting edge of this opportunity. This program is designed for individuals who wish to develop careers in the field of aging, those already employed or active in gerontology or related fields who wish to enhance their career paths, and those seeking challenging and meaningful career changes in response to new opportunities created by an aging society. Graduates of this program will develop problem-solving and research skills through interdisciplinary core courses and electives tailored toward their career goals. Internships, mentorships and career coaching will prepare students to create individualized career paths in service industries responding to a longer living and healthier population.

DESCRIPTION
Geology is the study of the Earth: its composition, structure, history and the processes which shape the Earth. Geologists investigate landscapes and rocks to discover the story of how the Earth formed and developed over geologic time. Geologists examine problems related to earth hazards, resources and environmental quality and then work toward developing corrective measures. Geology coursework is an important part of many college programs.

DESCRIPTION

History is one of the most important subjects that one can study because it touches every academic subject. The study of history enables individuals to think historically and to analyze cause and affect relationships in human affairs. Through the analysis and interpretation of past events, historians provide insights on current events as well as on the broader human condition. The more that people understand about their past, the greater their perspective becomes and the more likely the present is to make sense. Historians occupy positions in a wide variety of fields: for example, high school and college instructors, researchers in business and industry, government positions, journalism, law, librarians, professional writers and a host of other occupations that require critical thinking, research and writing skills. The PCC history program offers survey classes in American history, western civilization, and eastern civilization. It also offers a number of specialty courses on topics such as African Americans, women’s history, the holocaust, Native American history, and Russian history. Not all classes are offered every term. All classes are transferable to four-year universities. See the Course Description (HST prefix) section of this catalog for individual history courses and course prerequisites.

HUMANITIES
Cascade Campus Terrell Hall, (TH) Room 220 503-978-5251 Rock Creek Campus Building 3, Room 201 503-614-7235

DESCRIPTION
Studying the humanities provides individuals with opportunities to explore the human experience through a variety of windows such as art and architecture, philosophy, literature, music, history and languages. Humanities students examine and interpret works from the viewpoint of several disciplines to better understand the influence of cultural values and world views, forms of political and social order, basis and impact of gender roles and effect of historic and environmental events on how individuals and societies perceive and project themselves. Humanities students could find jobs in three broad categories: academics, media and writing. Some specifics include teaching, business theorists, archaeologists, literary critics, cinematography, television and radio personalities, writers, journalists and talent agents; essentially any field that requires an understanding of the “human condition.” At PCC, the humanities program includes a broad-based introductory course, sequences in technology, African Cultures and Leadership. See the Course Description (HUM prefix) section of this catalog for individual Humanities courses and course prerequisites.

DESCRIPTION
All PCC Japanese courses are taught using an immersion method. The objective of all Japanese courses is to help students to develop communicative competence and proficiency in comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing Japanese as well as cultural awareness. Assessment is based on consistent attendance, active student participation, and written and oral assignments. There are no prerequisites and requirements for entry into the first term of first year Japanese. However, the student should read the Japanese course descriptions for other Japanese courses. Students who have studied a language before and are unsure of their placement are encouraged to consult with a world language teacher since they will not be admitted to a course if their skill level is too advanced for that course. All students who enroll in world language classes (including those on the waiting list) are expected to attend class the first day when material essential for successful completion of the course will be presented. Students who do not attend the first class session may be replaced by those who do attend. See the Course Description (JPN prefix) section of this catalog for individual Japanese language courses and their prerequisites.

JOURNALISM
Sylvania Campus Communications Technology Building (CT), Room 216 503-977-4264

DESCRIPTION
Journalism is inquiry: the struggle to understand and respond effectively to public issues. While it is the collection and transmission of news through media such as newspapers, periodicals, television, radio, and the Internet, it is more than simply a commodity that can be mined from public events and repackaged as “news.” It is fundamentally a democratic art, a way a free society engages in conversation with itself. In part, the study of journalism allows students to analyze the media and their impact on the world. PCC offers courses in Journalism that introduce the student to the media and to media literacy through the study of the history of mass media, developing research and writing techniques, and examining visual communication. Students who take journalism

CAREER AND PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

A medical laboratory technician performs routine clinical laboratory testing procedures to provide scientific information needed in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of disease. Technicians use sophisticated instrumentation for these evaluations, which encompass quantitative and qualitative chemical and biological analyses of body specimens. Technicians function under the supervision of a qualified practitioner. The local metropolitan area offers very good employment opportunities and jobs are readily available in smaller communities throughout the country. Opportunities are available in hospitals, independent laboratories, research and industry for graduates of the program. To successfully participate in the MLT Program and become employable, the student must be able to perform essential functions expected of the profession. Examples of essential functions for the MLT are communication, vision, manual dexterity, physical activity, analytical skills and technical aptitude. Because of limited laboratory space and clinical facilities as well as the delicate balance of job opportunities in medical laboratory science, the MLT Program has a limited enrollment. Admission to the first year of the program is based on Compass scores in algebra and English, and achievement examinations in chemistry and biology, or equivalent courses. It is strongly recommended that applicants have completed high school chemistry, biology, algebra and English or their equivalents. Students should not interpret acceptance into the first year of the program as automatic eligibility for entrance to the second year of the program. Continuation into the second year is contingent upon performance during the first year. Each student entering into the second year is required to complete the health physical examination form provided by the MLT Department. Contact the department for any additional requirements. The Medical Laboratory Technology Program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS), 8410 West Bryn Mawr Avenue, Suite 670, Chicago, Il 60631, telephone 773-714-8880.

PREREqUISITES AND REqUIREMENTS
Students new to the program must take the college’s placement examinations for mathematics and English prior to program advising and registration. Students must meet the prerequisites as stated in the course descriptions of the current catalog before registering for first term microelectronics, electronics and chemistry courses. Students intending to pursue any of the three AAS MT degrees must place into MTH 95 and WR 121. New students are encouraged to meet with a department representative for advising prior to signing up for classes. Study begins by laying a solid foundation in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and electronics before introducing topics in semiconductor manufacturing, process equipment, and vacuum/ plasma technology. Instructional time is divided between classroom presentations and lab exercises to develop equipment analysis, maintenance, and troubleshooting skills. Students also develop oral and written communication skills in the English language. The ability to communicate is needed to be able to function effectively in work teams. Day courses are scheduled so that one section of a course meets on Monday and Tuesday and another section meets on Thursday and Friday, enabling those students working compressed-workweek schedules to take courses. Evening courses follow a traditional Monday-Wednesday or Tuesday-Thursday schedule. Full-time day students can complete the program in six to eight terms. However, many students elect to take a part-time course load and take longer to complete the program. The core MT classes require two full academic years (six terms) in order to be completed. Full-time day students must begin the program fall or winter term. Part-time students may begin during any term of the academic year. Students interested in obtaining a Solar Voltaic Manufacturing Technology Career Pathway Certificate must be able to prove their competency in MTH 65 and WR 115 Note: Students intending to transfer to OIT should: 1. Complete both MTH 243 & MTH 244 at PCC.

DESCRIPTION
Music is a universal art form practiced and appreciated by every culture of the world. From live music performance as a soloist, ensemble member or accompanist, to working as a studio musician, from composing or arranging music, to teaching music, musicians fulfill a critical, dynamic and often collaborative role within the arts. Formal music education includes the study of music theory, music history and literature, performance practice, music technology, and music pedagogy. The PCC music program offers courses that cater to both musicians and non-musicians alike. We offer a variety of introductory courses while also preparing those who wish to transfer to a four-year music program. With proper music study and training, students may become professional performers, conductors, composers, music theorists, music historians, or music educators.

CAREER AND PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Religious Studies, as an interdisciplinary field, investigates the variety of human religious experience. A broad understanding of religion is sought through critical reflection on the various founders, history, myths and doctrines, rituals and traditions, and social and personal ethics. Techniques from the arts, humanities, social, and even hard sciences are employed. Religious Studies prepares students to go on to work or study further in disciplines such as religion and ministry, social service, archeology, education, law, linguistics, or political science. PCC currently offers one Religious Studies course, R 210 World Religions. This course fulfills both General Education and diversity requirements. AAOT students interested in earning a bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies should take related courses in areas such as anthropology, history, literature, and philosophy. Students must check for the specific requirements of the bachelor’s program to which they intend to transfer. The interdisciplinary nature of the field allows students to customize their educational goals while providing a solid foundation for future learning. See the Course Description (R prefix) section of this catalog for individual Religious Studies courses and their prerequisites.

CAREER AND PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Professional sign language interpreters work in a variety of settings such as education, social service, religion, government, business, performing arts, mental health, medical, legal, video relay and law enforcement.

DESCRIPTION
All PCC Russian courses are taught using an immersion method. The objective of all Russian courses is to help students to develop communicative competence and proficiency in comprehension, speaking, reading and writing Russian as well as cultural awareness. Assessment is based on consistent attendance, active student participation, and written and oral assignments. There are no requirements or prerequisites for entry into the first term of first year Russian. However, the student should read the Russian course descriptions for other Russian courses. Students who have studied a language before and are unsure of their placement are encouraged to consult with a world language teacher since they will not be admitted to a course if their skill level is too advanced for that course. All students who enroll in world language classes (including those on the waiting list) are expected to attend class the first day when material essential for successful completion of the course will be presented. Students who do not attend the first class session may be replaced by those who do attend. See the Course Description (RUS prefix) section of this catalog for individual Russian language courses and their prerequisites.

Programs and Disciplines

Students who require additional time to master interpreting skills may return after completion of second year courses to prepare to enter and complete this internship by re-taking and passing the qualifying exam. SLIP coursework which would assist this development is available to the candidate. These courses must be taken for credit. Please make arrangements with the SLIP Department. Students in the Sign Language Interpretation Program, who find that interpreting is not an appropriate goal for them, may transfer to the Deaf Studies program. They must complete a separate application packet and explore possible occupations as part of the application process. Coursework for the Deaf Studies certification closely parallels that of the SLIP, with the omission of some of the hands on interpreting courses. The Deaf Studies certification does not qualify students to work as interpreters, but may be helpful to those who work with deaf people in a field other than interpreting such as educational paraprofessional, or working in an agency that serves Deaf people. Deaf Studies is a one-year certificate and does not lead to an associate’s degree. The following courses are required of all students accepted into the SLIP. Students must receive passing grades as determined by program policy to maintain student status in the program. Students are required to take either ITP 283 or ITP 284 for graduation from the Two-Year Certificate program, or with the Associate of Applied Science Degree. Note: All courses within the SLIP are open to individual professional interpreters and to other professionals working in fields serving Deaf people. This is subject to course availability, class size and program permission based on prerequisite skill and knowledge. In addition, groups and organizations such as school districts may contract with the SLIP for custom-designed courses for their staff. Because interpreters work in a variety of settings, students are encouraged to broaden their general knowledge in a variety of areas. For those planning to work in k-12 or post secondary education, background in English, writing and literature, history, science, social studies, math and basic computer use is essential. SLIP students may find the following electives helpful: SP 100, 111, 140 and TA 144.

SIGN LANGUAGE STUDIES (SLS)
Sylvania Campus Communications Technology Building (CT), Room 219 503-977-4672 (V), 1-866-970-7933 (VP)

DESCRIPTION
American Sign Language (ASL) is the language used by Deaf people in the United States and parts of Canada when communicating with each other. ASL courses are offered for General Education credits as a modern language for students earning an associate degree from PCC and second year courses satisfy the language requirement for the associate of arts Oregon transfer. With the exception of ASL 130 Deaf Studies, American Sign Language will be used in classes; no spoken English will be used. This method involves the student in conversation using ASL and prepares them to function comfortably in a variety of situations in the Deaf community. Completion of ASL courses does not qualify a student to perform interpreting services. Interpreting requires formal training. Students who are interested in interpreting as a career, please see the catalog description under Sign Language Interpretation (SLIP.) The following general remarks apply to all sign language studies courses: All students who enroll in sign language studies classes (including those on the waiting list) are expected to attend class the first day, when material essential for successful completion of the course will be presented. Students who do not attend the first class session may be replaced by those who do attend. Students who have studied sign language elsewhere and wish to continue at PCC must take a Sign Language Proficiency Interview through the department. Call Sign Language Studies Department, 503-977-4672 voice or 1-866-970-7933 (VP) at least three weeks prior to the end of the term before the term you plan to take ASL to schedule an appointment for a Sign Language Proficiency Interview (SLPI.) There are no prerequisites for entry into the first term of first year American Sign Language. However, students should read the Sign Language Studies course descriptions for the prerequisites for other American Sign Language courses.

Sixth Term ITP 275 ITP 284

**Only one internship (ITP 283 or 284) is required for an interpreting degree or certificate, however, students are strongly encouraged to take both. Note: HEC 226 or PSY 215 can be taken during any term.

DESCRIPTION
Sociology is the study of human social behavior. It is the scientific study of human interaction with a focus on human group life. The general sociology sequence, SOC 204 and SOC 205, introduces the student to basic knowledge, concepts, theory and research in sociology. It is recommended, but not required, that the courses be taken in sequence. The sequence is a prerequisite for upper division sociology courses at most four-year institutions. See the Course Description (SOC prefix) section of this catalog for individual sociology courses and course prerequisites.

DESCRIPTION
Speech Communication is the study of human communication processes. By understanding human symbolic interaction, students may critically analyze and apply methods of persuasion in interpersonal, small-group, intercultural, business, public speaking, and mass media contexts. Speech Communication provides students with practical tools that enable them to develop, manage and maintain many types of relationships. PCC offers three sequences of classes, which reflect differing approaches, for students who want a more focused study of communication: SP 140, 237, 214, 215 (Interpersonal Communication); SP 112, 228 (Persuasive Discourse); SP 130, 215, 237 (Business Communication). See the Course Description (SP prefix) section of this catalog for individual speech communication courses and their prerequisites. To learn whether courses will transfer to a fouryear university, students must check with the institutions to which they intend to transfer.

DESCRIPTION
Writing is fundamental in learning to think and express one’s thoughts in ways that reach others. The ability to use language coherently and powerfully and to write in ways that connect with others across cultural boundaries and within communities is essential to active citizenship and to success in almost any profession. The writing courses at PCC enable students to inquire, to discover, to inform, to persuade, and to think creatively, preparing them to transfer to universities and evolve vocationally. PCC’s English Composition Program courses prepare students for the written work of upper division courses and graduate education; also, writing courses meet the requirements for several associate degree and certificate programs at PCC. For students who wish to transfer to a four-year Oregon college or university, WR 121, 122 and/or WR 227 satisfy the writing course requirements. Writing transfer courses are offered under the subject headings of English Composition, Business and Technical Writing, and Creative Writing. Students majoring in technical areas or business are encouraged to take WR 227. In addition, PCC offers students one of the largest selections of creative writing courses in Oregon. Information on the focus award in creative writing may be found in the Focus Award section. Placement into WR121 is a prerequisite for creative writing classes; completion of WR121 is recommended. Conferences are an integral part of the instructional process in all writing courses, and students should expect at least two per term. Students are required to take the writing placement examination to determine appropriate placement in a writing course. Testing centers are available at Cascade, Rock Creek, Southeast Center or Sylvania. Once students receive placement scores, they should check with an advisor before enrolling in a writing course. See the Course Description (WR prefix) section of this catalog for individual Writing courses and their prerequisites.

DESCRIPTION
Women’s Studies introduces the past and present achievements and experiences of women from an interdisciplinary and global perspective. The courses explore the decisive role that gender has played and continues to play in human societies and contributes to an understanding of women’s lives. knowledge derived from women’s studies courses will enable people to analyze current problems that women face in the areas of employment, the family, domestic violence, health and the legal system. Since women comprise more than half of the world’s population, an understanding of their experiences, history, needs and abilities is an asset to students considering careers in such fields as education, social service, government, business, law, the ministry, journalism, health occupations and childcare. Women’s Studies courses require college-level reading and writing skills. All women’s studies courses can apply towards the Associate of Arts, Oregon Transfer Degree (AAOT) requirements. Introduction to Women’s Studies (WS 101) may be taken for either arts and letters credit, or social science credit. The Women’s Studies Focus Award at PCC prepares students for entry into other Women’s Studies Programs at the bachelor’s degree level. In Oregon these programs can be found at Portland State University, University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and Lewis & Clark College. Additional information on the Women’s Studies Focus Award may be found in the Focus Award section of the catalog. See the Course Description (WS prefix) section of this catalog for individual Women’s Studies courses and their prerequisites.

Focus Awards recognize the completion of a collection of courses in an area of study. By taking the courses required for a Focus Award, students deepen and broaden their knowledge and experience in that particular area of study. This can be particularly helpful as a head start toward a major at a four-year institution where a student might transfer. Focus Awards are administered and awarded by the responsible Division Dean. Focus Awards are not to be confused with degrees or certificates, are not officially recognized by the state, and do not appear on transcripts.

CODE OF STUDENT CONDUCT
GENERAl POlICIES
Admission to Portland Community College carries with it the presumption that the student will conduct him/herself as a responsible member of the college community. Thus, when a student is admitted to and/or enrolled at Portland Community College, the student likewise assumes the obligation to observe standards of conduct which are appropriate to the pursuit of educational goals. Students shall generally have an opportunity to participate in the formulation of policies and rules pertaining to student conduct and, to the extent legally permitted, in the enforcement of such rules. PCC administration and its Board, however, retain the authority to create and enact College policy. Programs based on contracts with government agencies or external funding sources operated outside of the comprehensive campuses may adopt separate conduct procedures consistent with Portland Community College’s Code of Student Conduct, the program’s goals, and the principle of due process for all parties. Portland Community College may take appropriate disciplinary action when student conduct deemed by the Dean of Student Development or designee to be disruptive to the operation of the College, or constitutes one or more of the behaviors identified below.

VIOlATIONS

lege and its students, and to administer disciplinary action. Board Policy B213 Each faculty member is responsible for class conduct and is authorized to take such steps as are necessary when behavior of a student interrupts the normal class procedure. When behavior is so serious as to result in expulsion from the class, the faculty member may remove the student from one class session or the equivalent. For non-classroom environments, conduct violation will be handled expeditiously. Violations may also require a conference among the student, the instructor and/or Division Dean to identify and set conditions for his/her return to the class. Permanent removal of a student from a class or classes may only be imposed by the Dean of Student Development or designee pursuant to the provisions of the Code of Student Conduct. The Dean of Student Development or designee may impose the following sanctions for violations of the Code of Student Conduct: 1. Expulsion from Portland Community College (i.e., permanent removal of the privilege to attend Portland Community College); 2. Suspension from Portland Community College for a definite period of time and/or pending the satisfaction of conditions for re-admission, (i.e., suspension of the privilege to attend Portland Community College). 3. Removal from class(es) for which the student is currently registered; 4. Restitution for damages; 5. A specified period of college and/or community service; 6. Disciplinary probation with or without the loss of privileges for a definite period of time. The violation of the terms of the disciplinary probation or the breaking of any College rule during the probation period may be grounds for suspension or expulsion from the College; 7. Disciplinary admonition and warning. 8. Any other sanction the College deems educationally appropriate. The parents or guardian of any student under 16 years of age who receives a sanction under the Code of Student Conduct shall be notified.

DISCIPlINARY DUE PROCESS HEARING PROCEDURES
In keeping with the educational purposes of the College, disciplinary actions other than those requiring expulsion are intended to be remedial rather than punitive. Often disciplinary proceedings will be conducted informally between the student(s) and the Dean of Student Development or designee. 1. Students in violation of institutional regulations or civil or criminal law shall be so informed. 2. During investigation of the charges, the status of the student shall not be altered nor shall his/her right to be present on the campus and to attend classes be suspended except for reasons related to the safety and well-being of students, faculty, staff, or college property, or which relate to or interfere with the orderly operation of the College, as determined by the Dean of Student Development or designee.

SANCTIONS
The District Board has directed the College President, pursuant to ORS 341.290, to establish administrative rules to govern the Col162

Academic Integrity Policy

3. The student has the right to appeal any disciplinary (as distinct from academic) action to the Campus President or designee solely on the basis of alleged procedural violation(s). If a violation is found to have occurred, the Campus President or designee will remand the case to the Dean of Student Development or designee for reprocessing. No disciplinary sanction shall be imposed unless the student has been notified of the charges against him/her and the nature and source of the evidence. In cases in which the College does not intend to suspend or expel a student, the source of information may be kept confidential if, in the discretion of the Dean or his/her designee, he/she believes that revealing the source would create a risk of physical or emotional harm to the source, or might otherwise have a chilling effect on enforcement of these rules. A student subject to these sanctions will be allowed to present his/ her case to an appropriate college official and to have an advisor of his/her choice present. Advisors are not permitted to present the case but may advise the student. Both the College and the student may seek legal advice at their own expense, but, to avoid an adversarial situation, neither the College nor the student will be represented by a lawyer during any meeting or hearing involving the College and the student. The student may withdraw from college of his/her own volition at any time during the disciplinary process. Disciplinary sanctions may still be assessed, however, if the student withdraws from the College prior to the completion of the disciplinary process, or elects not to participate in disciplinary proceeding. In cases that are not resolved informally, the Dean of Student Development or designee shall use the following hearing procedure: Step 1: At an initial conference with the Dean of Student Development or designee, the student will be informed verbally and in writing of the charges and the maximum penalty which might result from consideration of the disciplinary matter. The College retains the right, upon learning new information and giving notice to the student, to revise the proposed maximum penalty. Step 2: The student must submit all of his/her evidence within 7 calendar days of the initial conference. Step 3: After considering the evidence in the case and interviewing persons as appropriate, the Dean of Student Development, or designee, may take one of the following actions: a. Terminate the proceedings, exonerating the student. b. Dismiss the case after appropriate counseling and advice. c. Impose an appropriate sanction as described above. The student will be notified in writing of the decision of the Dean of Student Development or designee. If the student decides to appeal the decision on the basis of alleged violation of due process, he or she may do so by filing a written appeal with the Campus President or designee within 7 calendar days of the decision. The Campus President or designee shall render a decision regarding the alleged violation of due process within 7 calendar days of its filing.

convey his/her decision in writing to the student; and in the case of non-readmission, shall express his/her reasons in writing. The decision of the Dean of Student Development or designee is final.

RECORDS
Records of all disciplinary actions shall be kept by the campus Dean of Student Development in accordance with the state archival policies.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY
INTRODUCTION
Students of Portland Community College are expected to behave as responsible members of the college community and to be honest and ethical in their academic work. PCC strives to provide students with the knowledge, skills, judgment, and wisdom they need to function in society as educated adults. To falsify or fabricate the results of one’s research; to present the words, ideas, data, or work of another as one’s own; or to cheat on an examination corrupts the essential process of higher education.

GUIDElINES FOR ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the coursework they submit. The following are guidelines to assist students in observing academic integrity: • Students must do their own work and submit only their own work on examinations, reports, and projects, unless otherwise permitted by the instructor. Students are encouraged to contact their instructor about appropriate citation guidelines. Students may benefit from working in groups. They may collaborate or cooperate with other students on graded assignments or examinations as directed by the instructor. Students must follow all written and/or verbal instructions given by instructors or designated college representatives prior to taking examinations, placement assessments, tests, quizzes, and evaluations. Students are responsible for adhering to course requirements as specified by the instructor in the course syllabus.

assignment, project, or examination, or no further action. If the accused student contests the faculty member’s decision, a hearing with the division dean may be requested in writing to the division dean within 10 days of the time the student is notified of the faculty member’s decision. A hearing requested by a student under this section is informally conducted by the division dean, who may take steps he or she deems appropriate to resolve the conflict. 6. If the faculty member wishes to initiate further action (e.g. assign a lower grade or a grade of “F” or “NP” for the course), the student is entitled to a hearing with the division dean.

At the hearing, the faculty member and division dean present charges and allow the student to present his/ her side of the case. The student may bring an advisor, who may advise the student but not present the case. If the student misses the hearing, the faculty member and division dean may proceed with the process to completion. The division dean will consider any evidence submitted within seven days of the hearing, and interview persons as warranted. The division dean determines if the action recommended by the faculty member is appropriate. 8. Within 10 days of the hearing, the division dean sends written notification of the results to the student and faculty member. 9. Within 10 days of the notification, the student may submit a written appeal to the dean of instruction. The decision of the dean of instruction is final. 10. The division dean sends a final report to the dean of student development.

Grievance Procedure

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE INTRODUCTION
Students enrolled at Portland Community College may use the Grievance Procedure to challenge decisions and/or actions taken by college faculty and staff that are alleged to violate their rights as defined in the Student Rights Section of the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. This procedure does not apply to any other dispute. The student will be allowed to have an advocate of his/her choice (such as a PCC counselor or advisor, or student government representative) present in meetings throughout the grievance process. Advocates are not permitted to present the case, but may advise the student. Both the college and the student may seek legal advice at their own expense; however, neither the college nor the student shall be represented by a lawyer during any grievance meeting or hearing involving the college and the student. Programs based on contracts with government agencies or external funding sources operated outside of the comprehensive campuses may adopt separate grievance procedures consistent with Portland Community College’s Grievance Procedure, the program’s goals, and the principle of due process for all parties. Concerns involving harassment or discrimination by a college staff member on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, or veteran status should be directed to the college’s Affirmative Action Officer. Concerns involving harassment or discrimination by a student on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, or veteran status should be directed to the campus Dean of Student Development. Any other complaint about college services, programs, or activities not addressed in the Student Rights Section of the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook should be put in writing and sent to the campus Dean of Student Development or designee, who will forward it to the appropriate administrator. Complaint Forms are available at any campus ASPCC Office, Information Booth, or Admissions Office.

Step 2: Submit a Grievance Form to the Dean of Student Development: a. In cases where the problem is not resolved through direct communication with the faculty/staff member involved, the student will submit a Grievance Form, with supporting evidence, to the campus Dean of Student Development or designee within 14 calendar days of the communication with the faculty/ staff member. The Dean of Student Development or designee will review the grievance and refer it to the appropriate Administrator. Grievance Forms are available at campus ASPCC and Dean of Student Development Offices and online at www.pcc. edu. b. Within 14 calendar days, the Administrator will objectively investigate the grievance, consult and share appropriate information with all involved parties, consider relevant evidence, and render a decision in writing to the student and the campus Dean of Student Development. Step 3: Appeal to Dean of Instruction or Dean of Student Development a. The student may appeal the decision in Step 2 if (1) PCC procedures were not followed or (2) there is relevant evidence that was not available during Step 2. An appeal must be made within 14 calendar days to the campus Dean of Instruction for academic evaluation grievances, or to the campus Dean of Student Development for other grievances as defined in the Student Rights Section of the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. The student must submit written justification for further review and provide evidence that there are grounds for the appeal. b. The Dean will objectively investigate how the grievance process was conducted in Step 2, consult with all involved parties, consider relevant evidence that was not available or not considered during Step 2, and render a decision in writing. The decision will be final and not subject to appeal.

REPORTING, RECORDING, AND MAINTAINING RECORDS
When the grievance is concluded, all documentation shall be forwarded to the campus Dean of Student Development, who will maintain them in accordance with the state archival policies.

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Step 1: Communicate with the Faculty/Staff Member: a. Academic Grievances: The student must directly communicate with the faculty/staff member involved within 30 calendar days of the event that is the subject of the grievance.

Harassment or Discrimination Grievances: If the grievance involves harassment or discrimination by a college staff member or student, the student should be directed to the College’s Affirmative Action Officer and follow the procedures outlined in PCC’s Nonharassment Policy: www.pcc.edu/about/affirmativeaction/Nonharassment.html

CONSENSUAl RElATIONSHIP STATEMENT
Portland Community College’s mission is to offer an atmosphere that encourages the full realization of each individual’s potential. This mission is promoted by professionalism in the relationships that faculty and staff have with students. These relationships are intended to foster free and open exchange of ideas, productive learning, and the work that supports it. In addition, those who supervise or evaluate the work of students must be perceived to be making their decisions fairly and without favoritism. This mission is potentially jeopardized when faculty/staff enter into consensual romantic relationships with their students. Faculty and staff are cautioned that consensual romantic relationships with their students can prove to be unwise and problematic, and should be avoided. When consensual romantic relationships occur, questions of fairness, favoritism, and coercion arise: Such relationships may undermine the real or perceived integrity of the

165

Children on PCC Properties

supervision provided, and the particular trust inherent in the student-faculty relationship. • Relationships in which one party is in a position to review the work, or influence the career of the other may provide grounds for complaint when that relationship appears to give undue access or advantage, restricts opportunities, or creates a hostile and unacceptable environment for others. • Such relationships may, moreover, be less consensual than the individual whose position confers power believes. The relationship is likely to be perceived in different ways by each of the parties to it, especially in retrospect. While some relationships may begin and remain harmonious, they are susceptible to being characterized as unprofessional and disrespectful to others. Therefore, faculty/staff should not engage in consensual romantic relationships with their current students. If a faculty or staff member has a pre-existing consensual romantic/sexual relationship with a student, the student should be discouraged from enrolling in courses taught by the instructor or entering into work situations in which she/he would be supervised by the staff member. If the student does enroll in the course or work for the staff member, the faculty/staff member should remove him/herself from academic or professional decisions concerning the student. Should a romantic/sexual relationship between a faculty/staff member and his/her student lead to a sexual harassment charge, the College is obligated to investigate and resolve the charge in accordance with the complaint procedure in the Non-harrasment Policy.

College staff, faculty and administrators have the responsibility to direct the removal of a child in accordance with section 3.6 of this policy.

UNACCOMPANIED CHIlDREN
Due to safety and liability issues, except as otherwise defined in this policy, under no circumstances may unsupervised children be on college properties, including playing, roaming, and occupying campus grounds or buildings. Any college employee who finds an unaccompanied child on college properties should inform Public Safety of the location of the child.

RESTRICTED AREAS
Children cannot be allowed in areas where their presence is disruptive or where health, safety, and liability risks are identified. Areas in which children are NOT permitted include: • Testing centers • Classrooms (when the Instructor determines that the presence of children would be unsuitable) • Laboratories and laboratory preparation areas • Scientific, technical and maintenance work spaces • Fine or performing arts work spaces or studios • Areas that contain hazardous chemicals, machinery or equipment • Commercial kitchens and other food preparation areas • Fitness centers Other areas may be identified as unsuitable for children as a result of a risk assessment and supervisors of the respective areas are required to inform staff and students of requirements or restrictions.

CHILDREN ON PCC PROPERTIES
Children are welcome on Portland Community College campuses and properties in appropriate situations and while actively supervised by a parent, guardian, or responsible adult. This policy outlines the College’s approach to ensuring that reasonable steps are taken to protect the study and work environment of the College, and the health, safety, and liability issues associated with children on PCC properties.

PCC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
When children are passengers in any PCC vehicle, including shuttle buses, the operators of these vehicles are not responsible for ensuring that child passengers meet child safety requirements. It is the responsibility of the care provider to ensure that any child accompanying them meet the child safety requirements. Where safety restraints are not available, the care provider will ensure the child is properly seated to minimize possible accident or injury. Failure to conform to these guidelines will result in child and care provider being denied transport (as applicable to ORS 811.210).

SCOPE
This policy applies to minor children under the age of 16 who are not officially enrolled in classes or employed by the College. This policy does not apply to organized activities such as attending a registered child care facility, after school care activities, school field trips, and approved programs including, but not limited to, athletic events, theater productions, art programs, and other events targeted to children. Students under the age of 16 who are officially enrolled, and for whom an authorized Underage Release form is on file with the Admissions Office, have the same rights, responsibilities and privileges of any other student in the classroom and on college properties.

RESPONSIBIlITY OF THE COllEGE
• To provide an environment conducive to study and work for all students, staff and visitors. • To provide a healthy and safe study and work environment for all students, staff and visitors and to comply with legislative requirements. • To take reasonable steps to assist students, staff and visitors who may have special needs to enable access to facilities and services.

APPlICATION

COllEGE HISTORY
Portland Community College began as the adult education program of the Portland Public Schools. On May 15, 1961, the school district established the college as a separately operating entity. Because the college included students from many areas outside the Portland school district, in 1965 the school board appointed an advisory council to supervise the college and to give representation to areas beyond the school district boundaries. As the advisory council and the school board developed programs and plans for the rapidly growing college, it became evident that the college needed to be a separate governmental unit with its own elected board to represent the areas from which students came. IIn 1968, voters of the five-county area approved the formation of a new college district named the “Metropolitan Area Education District.” It included the school districts of Portland, Sauvie Island and Riverdale in Multnomah County; Lake Oswego in Clackamas County; St. Helens, Scappoose and Vernonia school districts in Columbia County; Newberg school district in Yamhill County and all of Washington County. At this time the voters also elected the first college board of directors and approved a tax base, providing the college with funds for the local share of operation and building construction. In 1971, the name of the district was changed to “Portland Community College District.” District residents showed continuing support for their college in 1980, and again in 1986 as they voted to increase the PCC tax base. Enrollment growth of 25 percent since 1986 led voters to approve a $61.4 million bond measure in 1992 to expand facilities at all campuses, and repair and upgrade existing buildings. In 2000, voters approved another bond measure for $144 million. As a result of the bond measure, the college opened new buildings at all three comprehensive campuses in 2003 and 2004, and unveiled the new Southeast Center on SE 82nd and Division in 2004. Thanks to the bond measure, the college opened new buildings at all three comprehensive campuses in 2003 and 2004, and built a new Southeast Center on SE 82nd and Division in January 2004. Preston Pulliams was hired as PCC’s fifth president in 2004. In 2008, area voters approved a $374 million bond measure-largest ever in the state of Oregon- to improve technology, meet workforce demand needs and address rising enrollment. Willow Creek Cen168
