Oregon Coast Community College About OCCC College History Oregon Coast Community College was founded in 1987. For the fi rst twenty plus years of its history the college provided classes and services out of a variety of rented spaces. In 2004 the voters of Lincoln County passed a $23.5 million bond to develop a permanent college campus in Newport and college centers in Lincoln City and Waldport. In 2005, the Oregon Legislature provided $4.5 million in matching funds for the capital project. The Lincoln County Center opened in fall 2008, followed by the Newport Campus and Waldport Center in 2009. In fall 2011, a separate facility for the college s signature Aquarium Science Program opened on the Newport Campus. Throughout its history the college has provided courses and programs to meet the educational and economic development needs of Lincoln County. In July 2014, Dr. Birgitte Ryslinge was named the president of Oregon Coast Community College. Dr. Ryslinge is charged with leading the college to independent accreditation. In 2014, the college revisited its mission, values and established core themes. Under the new mission and core themes OCCC will equip students for success by providing educational pathways and support in response to the diverse needs of the community. By providing accessible and engaging programs OCCC will continue to enrich the economic and civic vitality of Lincoln County. Our Students Over 2,000 credit and non-credit students participate in OCCC programs each year. OCCC students represent all ages and backgrounds, refl ecting the diversity of the community. Some attend full-time and others part-time, combining family, work, and school. Students may take lower division transfer credits, train or retrain for a new career, update their skills, earn a GED, or increase their knowledge. Students range from 16 to 85 years of age. About 60 percent are female and 40 percent are male. Because OCCC is a small college, students can achieve their educational goals in a pleasant academic environment and caring social atmosphere.

Oregon Coast Community College Tuition and Fees TUITION AND FEES Payment Policies oregoncoastcc.org/payment-options OCCC has a Pay Your Way to Success policy. Pay in full or make college approved payment arrangements (Installment Payment plan) by the Thursday prior to the start of the term to avoid being automatically dropped from your classes. Your registration is secure if you have a fi nancial aid award letter, have set up a college approved payment plan, have arranged with Accounts Receivable for a third party payment, or have a scholarship that will cover your student account balance for the term. By registering for a class at Oregon Coast Community College, you have incurred a legal obligation to pay all tuition, fees, and any other charges relating to your enrollment, even if your charges are being paid by another party. Unless you offi cially drop your courses within the full refund period each term, you are obligated to meet the payment deadline found on the academic calendar at oregoncoastcc.org/academic-calendars. Cash, personal checks (payable to OCCC), Discover, MasterCard, and VISA are accepted. Credit cards must be presented by the card holder and the signature must be verifi able by at least one additional form of identifi cation. A deferred tuition plan is available*. See Installment Payment Plan below for more information. Returned (non-suffi cient funds-nsf) checks pose special processing problems. A $25 charge will be assessed for returned checks. NSF checks will not be returned to a bank for payment. Students will be notifi ed by the Business Offi ce when an NSF check is presented to the College. At this time students will have fi ve (5) days to clear the debt, or the College will withdraw the student from classes. Returned checks must be made good with cash, money order, or cashier s check. Uncollected checks will be assessed additional fees (up to $50 per check) and submitted to a collection agency. The fi rst NSF check incident will result in a six (6) month suspension of paymentby-check privileges. A second incident will result in a complete loss of payment-by-check privileges. If the error was caused by a bank, a letter from the bank stating this fact must be presented to the College. All monies owed to the College for previous terms must be paid before a student can register for the current term. * Students need to clear any outstanding fi nancial obligations owed to the College, and return any overdue library books before the end of the term. Students with past-due debts payable to OCCC or to Portland Community College will not be allowed to register until the balance is paid. An unsatisfactory credit history at OCCC will prevent eligibility for deferred tuition payment plan or other institutional fi nancial assistance. Installment Payment Plan The College offers the Installment Payment Plan to help you meet your tuition expenses more easily. You can arrange for a payment plan at the Central Campus or North Campus Student Services Center or on-line at myoccc. Any student may participate in the Installment Payment Plan, except those noted below. If you qualify, the following conditions apply: You must register using your social security number A $20 processing fee will be charged A minimum payment of 1/3 plus the $20 processing fee must be made by Thursday prior to the beginning of classes each term The remaining balance, after down payment, will be divided into two equal installments. A late payment charge of $25 will be added to the outstanding balance for each installment that is not made by the due date Any balance remaining on the last day of the term may immediately be referred to a collection agency, the Oregon Department of Revenue, or an attorney for collection. Collection and/or attorney fees will be added to the outstanding balance Any balance due may be deducted from all fi nancial assistance or scholarships awarded to you You will not be allowed to register for subsequent terms until your account is paid in full NOTE: The Installment Payment Plan is not available to: Students receiving full funding from fi nancial assistance, scholarships, or alternate source Students owing less than $100 18

Tuition and Fees Oregon Coast Community College Payment by Financial Aid or by Agency Billing Financial aid is available to qualifi ed students and is a resource to pay educational expenses. Students with fi nancial aid are subject to the same registration, refund, and credit terms extended to other students. If funds received from the fi nancial aid award are greater than the enrollment costs, payment of the balance will be made to the student. If anticipated fi nancial aid funds are not received, the student is responsible for payment of any monies owed to the College. Questions may be addressed to Student Accounts at 541-867-8504. Payment by a sponsoring agency or a scholarship from an outside agency is a resource to pay educational expenses. A student receiving assistance from a non-occc entity is subject to the same registration, refund, and credit terms extended to other students. It is the student s responsibility to provide written agency authorization of funds available to the Business Offi ce by the time of registration. Students with questions may call the Business Offi ce at 541-867-8504. Refund Policy To receive a refund, students must drop their class(es) by the date stated on the academic calendar, usually the fi rst Friday of the term by 5:00 p.m. Refunds for dropping classes are processed approximately every two weeks. Students who choose to drop a class within the refund period need to allow two to four weeks to receive a refund in the mail. When a fi nancial aid recipient, full-time or part time, offi cially drops from OCCC within the refund period, the full amount of tuition refund will be credited to the appropriate federal, state and/or institutional accounts.

Sexual Harassment Policy It is the policy of Oregon Coast Community College that all students and employees learn and work in an environment free from sexual harassment and discrimination. OCCC will not permit sexual harassment in the academic environment or workplace at any time. Each student and employee is responsible for assuring that the academic environment and workplace are free from sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is behavior that OCCC does not permit. As defi ned in OAR 839-07-550, sexual harassment is a form of discrimination related to or because of a person s gender. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when the conduct is directed toward an individual because of his/her gender and: A) submission to the conduct is made either explicitly 29

Oregon Coast Community College or implicitly a term or condition of an individual s employment or academic success; B) submission to or rejection of the conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment or academic decisions affecting such individuals; or C) the conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual s work or academic performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working or learning environment. Students who have been the subject of sexual harassment from OCCC faculty, staff, or fellow students shall report the problem to the College s Dean of Students at 541-867-8511 or the Human Resources Director at 541-867-8515, who will investigate the problem. Investigations will be conducted with an appropriate amount of discretion and concern for the protection of individual privacy. Upon the determination that an act of harassment has occurred, immediate and appropriate corrective action will be taken. Students who instigate or participate in sexual harassment will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion. Employees who instigate or participate in sexual harassment will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. No student will be expelled, suspended, or otherwise harassed or discriminated against because he/she has filed a complaint, internally or externally, or has objected to, or testified about a possible violation of the law and/or OCCC policy. Inclement Weather Severe rain, wind, and sometimes snow are regular occurrences at the Central Oregon Coast during fall and winter months. On rare occasions, the College may need to close temporarily. If, for any reason, this information is not disseminated via local radio stations, the College s voicemail at the Central County Campus will refl ect the College s status. (The College s regular voicemail indicates a regular schedule.) Because of varying circumstances throughout the county, there may be a situation in which an instructor may not be able to make it to class although the College remains open. In that case, the instructor will contact the College as well as email the students in their classes. Students are urged to carefully College Policy and Proceedures evaluate their particular situation before traveling to the College. Personal safety is paramount. Please listen to local radio stations for any closure or reduction of schedule due to inclement weather. You can also check the College website at www.oregoncoastcc.org. Medical Emergency Policy Agencies in Lincoln County provide emergency medical services. The medical service can be accessed by dialing 911. In the event of injury or the onset of sudden illness, an ambulance may be summoned at the student s request. No college employee is expected to provide fi rst aid; however, should they decide to utilize fi rst aid training, they do so as good samaritans. When someone conveys a message to the College about a medical emergency involving a family member, every effort will be made to contact students, bring them to a phone, or deliver messages to them. As a general rule, members of the instructional staff will not be disturbed while teaching unless the matter is very urgent and cannot be delayed until the end of the class period.

Tobacco-Free Campus Oregon Coast Community College Board of Education is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for its employees, students and visitors by designating and maintaining each OCCC facility as tobacco-free environment. In light of U.S. Surgeon General fi ndings, OCCC will communicate to its employees and students that exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke and use of tobacco products are signifi cant health hazards. Consequently, use, distribution, or sale of all tobacco and nicotine products except those approved by the FDA for smoking cessation, in buildings or on College premises, including in parking lots or outdoor spaces, without exception, or in College-owned, rented or leased vehicles, is prohibited. For the purpose of this policy, tobacco is defi ned to include any lighted or unlighted cigarette, cigar, pipe, bidi, clove cigarette, and any other smoking product; and smokeless or spit tobacco, also known as dip, chew, snuff or snus, in any form, vaporizing, electronic and any other form of device used for the purposes of smoking, vaporizing, dissolving, inhaling or ingesting any form of tobacco 31

Academic Policy and Proceedures includes, but is not limited to, unauthorized access to examination materials prior to the examination itself ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES oregoncoastcc.org/academic-policies Academic Integrity I. Policy Learning is built on the fundamental qualities of honesty, fairness, respect and trust. At Oregon Coast Community College, academic integrity is a shared endeavor characterized by truth, personal responsibility, and high academic standards. Any violation of academic integrity devalues the individual and the community as a whole. One important aspect of academic integrity is academic honesty. Violations of academic honesty include: Plagiarism Collusion/Inappropriate Assistance Cheating Fabrication/Falsification/Alteration Unauthorized Multiple Submission Sabotage and Tampering A student who violates academic honesty will be subject to disciplinary action according to Students Rights and Responsibilities. II. Definitions Violations of academic honesty may include: Plagiarism: presenting someone else s words, ideas, artistry, product, or data as one s own; presenting as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source; Collusion/Inappropriate Assistance: helping another commit an act of academic dishonesty knowingly or negligently allowing work to be used by others. It is a violation of Oregon state law to create and offer to sell part or all of an educational assignment to another person (ORS 1.65.114;) Cheating: an act of deceit, fraud, distortion of truth, or improper use of another person s effort to obtain an educational advantage; III. Procedures of Academic Integrity Inquiry Process A. Action/Steps by Faculty: 1. The faculty member observing or investigating an apparent violation of academic honesty meets with the student and shares the Oregon Coast Community College Academic Integrity Policy and Procedures. The faculty member explains to the student the procedures and penalties for violation of academic honesty. 2. The faculty member provides the student an opportunity to explain the incident. 3. If, after initial investigation and conference with the student, the faculty member resolves the issue informally with the student and determines that there was no violation of academic honesty, the process is concluded and there is no need to complete the Academic Integrity Concern Form. 4. If, after initial investigation and conference with the student, the faculty member finds that there has been some violation of academic honesty, the violation is documented, using the Academic Integrity Concern Form. 5. The faculty member collects evidence by assembling all relevant documentary evidence and creating a paper trail of all that occurs after the alleged act of academic dishonesty. Often the evidence will include various samples of the student s work showing a radical disparity in style or ability. 6. If the faculty member finds the student to have been dishonest, the faculty member may resolve the matter by determining an appropriate course of action, which may include an oral or written warning; or a grade of F or zero on an assignment, project, or examination; or a lower grade or grade of F or No Pass for the course. The completed Academic Integrity Concern Form is submitted to the Student Services Director and to the Dean of Instruction. 7. In the event the faculty member s investigation is pending at the time course grades are due, the faculty member may elect to submit a mark of I 32

Academic Policy and Proceedures Oregon Coast Community College (Incomplete), with the student informed in writing by the faculty the reason for the investigation and the incomplete mark via the Academic Integrity Concern form. IV. Consequences for Violations of Academic Honesty B. Involvement of Dean of Instruction: 1. If the accused student contests the faculty member s decision, a meeting with the Student Services Director and the Dean of Instruction may be requested. 2. If the faculty member wishes to assign a grade of F or No Pass for the course, or initiate further disciplinary action (e.g., place the student on program-based academic probation), the student is entitled to a meeting with the Student Services Director and the Dean of Instruction for the purpose of further inquiry into the incident. 3. Within ten (10) working days of receiving the Academic Integrity Concern Form, the Dean of Instruction coordinates a meeting between all parties regarding the alleged incident of academic dishonesty. Official notification of this meeting should be in writing. The purpose of the meeting is for the student to hear the charges and present his/her side of the case. The Dean of Instruction will consider any evidence submitted within seven (7) days of the meeting, and interview persons as warranted. The Dean of Instruction determines if the action recommended by the faculty member is appropriate. If the student misses the meeting, the faculty member and the Dean of Instruction may proceed with the process to completion. 4. Within five (5) working days of the meeting, the Dean of Instruction sends written notification of the results of the inquiry to the student, faculty member, and the Student Services Director. The decision of the Dean of Instruction is final. 5. Further consequences may be imposed by the Dean of Instruction in cases of grievous violations of academic honesty or for a continued pattern of violations. ATTENDANCE POLICY Students are expected to attend all class meetings of the courses in which they are enrolled. Students are also responsible for all class work assigned. If the fi rst class session is not attended, and the instructor is not contacted before the fi rst class session, students may be dropped from the class at the instructor s discretion. Absences may affect a student s grade. It is the student s responsibility to obtain attendance rules from each instructor and obtain instructions for missed assignments, particularly in the case of late enrollment. Student performance suffers from repeated absences as well. If one must miss a class meeting, it is highly desirable to contact the instructor beforehand or as soon as possible after returning. Absences due to participation in collegesponsored fi eld trips, or intercollegiate functions trips may be excused through prior arrangement with instructors. Class Cancellations Minimum enrollment numbers are required for a class to be held. If a class is cancelled by the college, a refund will be granted. In some cases, a class may be postponed. A postponement does not constitute a cancellation for refund purposes. The college will attempt to contact all students in canceled or postponed classes based upon information given during registration. It is the student s responsibility to promptly make changes of email address and/ or telephone number information in their myoccc account. If a class must be cancelled due to low enrollment, or for any other reason, students will either be given a full refund or they may enroll in other open classes. Any unused tuition balance will be refunded. Student refunds are paid by check. Please allow two to four weeks to receive a refund. Refunds will be mailed to the address shown in the student s myoccc account. Any refunds will fi rst be applied to reduce or pay off any outstanding debts owed to the College. Refund of tuition, fees, or other items funded with fi nancial aid or by a sponsoring agency will be processed as a credit back to the student s sponsoring agency or fi nancial aid funding source. Refunds of tuition, fees, or other items paid with a credit card will be processed as a credit back to the original credit card account. 33

Oregon Coast Community College Enrollment Limitations The college may restrict enrollment in a class or program because of limited staff, space, or equipment. Enrollment is also limited for some programs, e.g., Aquarium Science, Emergency Medical Technology, Nursing, because of special admission requirements. Final Examinations Final examinations are given at the close of each term. Students are required to take fi nal examinations at the scheduled time, usually at the last scheduled class meeting in the fi nal week of the term. If unusual circumstances warrant taking them at another time, arrangements must be made with the instructor in advance. CREDITS How College Credits are Calculated The standard unit of measurement of college work is called a credit hour. Oregon Coast uses the quarter credit hour system. A college quarter hour credit is granted in most cases for each 11-12 hours that a course meets during the term. A three credit course then, would normally meet three hours per week for a total of 33-36 hours per term. (During the eight-week summer term, more class hours are required each week to achieve the total required hours.) Some laboratory and technical courses may have different hour requirements. A laboratory period may consist of two or more clock hours per credit hour. Two to three hours of outside preparation are normally required for each clock hour that a course meets. Some courses may require additional hours of preparation. How Credits Per Term affect Enrollment Status Full-time students at Oregon Coast Community College are those who register for 12 or more credits per term. Most degree programs require at least 90 credits. In order for a student to complete a degree within two years, it is necessary to take a minimum of 15 college level credits per quarter. No student may enroll in more than 18 credit hours in any single term without the approval of an academic advisor. Students working while attending college should keep in mind that most classes require two to three hours of outside preparation for each class hour. Work and Academic Policy and Proceedures college schedules may need to be adjusted to assure a successful college education. GRADING Roles and Responsibilities 1.

W Withdrawl This mark is to be used only by the Student Records Offi ce when a Student has completed the offi cial withdraw process after the published drop deadline and before the published withdraw deadline. Grade Point Averages Grade point averages are computed on the basis of four points for each credit of A, three points for each credit of B, two points for each credit of C, one point for each credit of D, and zero p oints for each credit of F. Marks of I, P, NC, W, and AU are disregarded in the computation of the grade point average.

Courses with grades of D or F may be repeated for a higher grade. All grades e arned will appear on the transcript. However, when a course is repeated, the fi rst grade will be changed to an R and no longer included in the GPA calculation or the accumulated total credits. The fi rst earned grade of C or better will count into the GPA calculation and the accumulated credit total. Honor Recognigtion The College will recognize academic excellence in degree seeking students who have earned a 3.25 or higher GPA in a given term on a minimum of six graded credits, excluding P (Pass) in a given term.

If a student has repeated a course, it is the student s responsibility to notify Enrollment Services so that it will be properly recorded. Withholding Grades Oregon Coast Community College reserves the right to withhold issuance of grades, transcripts, or diplomas to students who have not met their obligations to the college. SOURCES OF INFORMATION Class Schedule Each term s class schedule is published several weeks before the beginning of each term via the offi cial college web site: oregoncoastcc.org. Special courses and workshops may be added and announced as they arise throughout the term. Class schedules are published for informational purposes. Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the class schedule at the time of publication; however, it is not to be regarded as a contract between the student and the college. OCCC reserves the right to change any provision at any time due to any variety of circumstances. Students are advised to periodically consult the college website or an advising specialist for revised and updated information not available when the class schedule originally was published.

TRANSCRIPTS Official Transcripts Offi cial transcripts are the offi cial record of your courses, grades received, credits, honors, etc. from each institution attended. Offi cial transcipts are required to transfer credit from one college to another and may only be opened by Enrollment Services in order to remain offi cial. Please contact Enrollment Services at 541-867-8501 for information about how to request offi cial transcripts from Oregon Coast Community College. Unofficial Transcripts Unoffi cial transcripts are the unoffi cial record of your courses, grades, received, credits, honors, etc. from each instituition attended. Unoffi cial transcripts can be printed at no charge from a student s myoccc account. College Credit for High School Courses (Dual Credit) Through OCCC s dual credit agreement with the Lincoln County School District, students may earn OCCC credits while they currently are enrolled in high school. Students who take high school courses equivalent to OCCC courses may qualify for OCCC credits in college-approved professional/technical courses. High school students should consult their high school counselors for more information. Non-Traditional Credit Students who have established a transcript at Oregon Coast Community College and have participated in AP or IB programs in high school or have a documentation of military coursework or training may be awarded non-traditional credit. Oregon Coast follows policies and procedures established at Portland Community College, OCCC s contracting college, for awarding non-traditional credit, including: AP or IB Credit Credit by CLEP Military Credit For more information on how to have non-traditional credit evaluated, and applied to your transcript, please go to pcc.edu/resources/student-records/transfer. html and scroll down to the section for Non-Traditional Credit. Auditing a Course Students may register to audit a class if they wish to enroll in credit courses, but do not wish to receive grades or credits. However, auditing students must pay full tuition and fees and obtain the instructor s permission to audit a course. An instructor should email the Enrollment Services Coordinator to grant permission for a student to audit a course. Students must meet with the instructor also to determine if there are any specifi c requirements or expectations for auditing a course. An audit carries no credit, and therefore does not meet degree or certifi cate requirements, nor does it contribute to full-time student status. A student wishing to change from credit to audit, or audit to credit, must do so within the fi rst three weeks of the course. After the fi rst three weeks of the term, audits may not be reversed for a letter grade and credit classes may not be changed to an audit. Repeating a Course All grades earned will appear on the transcript. The most recent grade earned for a course will be calculated into the GPA and the total credits earned; all other grades earned for that course will be excluded from the GPA and the credits earned. If a course can be taken more than once for credit, the oldest grade for that course will be excluded only when the repeat limit is exceeded. Please check with an advisor before repeating a course if you are a fi nancial aid recipient, as repeated course may affect enrollment level and eligibility for some students. Applying to Graduate OCCC considers graduation an achievement of a student s educational goal and is honored to recognize students for their accomplishments. Graduates with cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) between 3.75 and 4.00 will receive highest honors. Students may graduate under requirements existing at the time of initial enrollment, as long as they have successfully completed at least one term of a college credit course per academic year. If credits from other colleges are used toward graduation 37

Oregon Coast Community College requirements, it is the student s responsibility to request that offi cial transcripts from those colleges be sent to the OCCC Enrollment Services Coordinator. Offi cial transcripts must arrive in sealed envelopes from the reporting institution. Students in degree or certifi cate programs should submit a petition to graduate the fi rst friday of the term in which the student expects to complete graduation requirements. Petitions to graduation are available on the College website. A petition results in a review of the student s academic record to ensure all requirements are completed. Students must fi le a separate petition for each degree or certifi cate requested. It is best to submit a petition as early as possible Students should fi le their petitions within one year after completing all requirements. Students accounts must be paid with OCCC and the contracting college and all materials checked out must be returned before an offi cial degree or certifi cate will be awarded.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE The fi eld of Criminal Justice includes jobs such as law enforcement offi cers, probation and parole offi cers, correctional offi cers, and juvenile workers. Law enforcement offi cers (police offi cers) are responsible for enforcing laws and maintaining order. Their primary duties are to protect life and property, prevent crimes, and arrest and help prosecute violators. They also prepare written reports of their activities and testify in court. Parole and probation offi cers help legal offenders adjust to society. They provide support and guidance to help people identify and solve their problems. Parole offi cers work with persons who have been released from a correctional institution and spend most of their time counseling offenders who have returned to the community. Probation offi cers work with juveniles and adults who have been released by the court without sentence or imprisonment. They perform pre-sentence investigations, write reports, give court testimony, and help their clients work toward long range goals. Correctional offi cers and juvenile detention workers supervise and control residents in prisons, jails, detention centers, and halfway houses to maintain security and enforce discipline. They oversee the daily activities of inmates, give out work assignments, and help the inmates with specifi c tasks. They inspect the facilities to ensure that conditions are sanitary and secure. They may supervise inmates in transit and escort them to and from cells, courts, and other facilities. They settle disputes among inmates; prevent escapes, and search and count inmates. Juvenile workers handle caseloads similar to parole and probation offi cers, but work with offenders under 18 years of age. Career and Technical Plans Employment Opportunities Law enforcement offi cers: Employment is expected to grow as fast as the average for all occupations in Oregon. Parole and probation offi cers: A bachelor s degree is a minimum requirement for entering this fi eld. Although there is currently a surplus of applicants, the recent passage of a ballot measure may eventually lead to the hiring of many more parole offi cers. Correctional offi cers: Employment is expected to grow as fast as the average for all occupations in Oregon. Juvenile Workers: These workers may also need to complete a four-year college degree for some types of employment. Employment opportunities do exist for persons with two years of college training. Potential Earnings The average entry level wage for law enforcement offi cers is $2,800 per month and the average maximum wage is $3,800 per month; the average wage for correctional offi cers is about $2,800 per month. The average wage for parole and probation offi cers and juvenile workers is $3,500 per month. Program Outcomes Students completing the AAS in Criminal Justice will: Communicate effectively in the criminal justice culture: verbally, non-verbally, and in writing. Balance the unique responsibilities of criminal justice work with competing family and other personal needs. Work equally well on independent assignments and team efforts within the criminal justice system. Exhibit a commanding presence that is appropriate to specifi c criminal justice situations. Locate and interpret current case law and statutes pertaining to specifi c criminal activity; take action that is supported by current law and statutes. Recognize symptoms of mental health and substance abuse; take appropriate action. Work effectively with persons of different cultural heritage, gender, and age.

Many course numbers also correspond closely to those found in the Oregon University System (OUS). Course numbers 10-99 do not transfer to four-year institutions, nor do they meet requirements for the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree. Developmental courses numbered less than 50 are considered below collegiate and professional academic level. Many career/technical courses also follow the 100-299 course number system. However, most professional/technical courses are not designed as transfer courses, although some four-year institutions may accept a number of career/technical courses as transferable. The student is advised to contact the institution directly for specifi c transfer and program requirements. Transfer Courses Course numbers 100-299 with the following alpha prefi xes are intended as trans ferable credit courses. (Normally, a grade of C or better is required): ATH, ART, BA, BI, COMM, CS, EC, ENG, G, GS, HE, HST, MTH, MUS, FN, PE, PS, PSY, SOC, SPA, and WR. Courses Which Do Not Transfer The following courses will not transfer to baccalaureate degree programs: courses with one or two digit course numbers (any course numbered below 100), e.g., WR 090, and courses with the following prefi xes: EMS, XABE, XASE, XBA, XBT, XCA, XCS, XELL. Information Regarding Transferability of Credits Please be advised that many career/technical courses are not directly transferable to baccalaureate programs at Oregon s public universities. For clarity regarding transferability of credits, the following points are important: credits earned in OCCC career/technical programs in many cases may be transferable and are applicable to several professional/technical programs offered at several Oregon community colleges; transferability of credit is always determined by the accepting institution; and it is the responsibility of the transferring student to consult with the college to determine the transferability of credits earned at other institutions. Transferring to Public Universiries in Oregon The eight public universities in Oregon University will accept up to 124 quarter credit hours of transferable collegiate course work completed at an accredited college. Some institutions limit the credit transferred from a community college to the fi rst 124 quarter credit hours of course work completed toward the institution s baccalaureate degree. Several of the institutions will accept a limited number of career (vocational/technical) courses as part of the above-stated 124 credit hours. 71
