Advisers and other college employees are available to help, but students have the final responsibility for satisfying degree/certificate requirements for graduation.
The Associate Degree will be awarded to students who satisfy the following requirements:
-
Complete a minimum of 90 credit hours according to an organized curriculum. (Some programs may require more than 90 credit hours.)
-
Successfully complete all required courses in a career-technical, general studies, or a transfer curriculum including the general education requirements as listed in the catalog. Progression of classes must be vertical. That is, once a course
has been successfully completed, a lower level course may not be taken for credit.
-

-
Maintain a 2.00 grade point average for all courses being applied toward the degree and maintain a 2.00 GPA in the candidate’s major classes (e.g., course prefixes such as DH, FSE, NUR, etc.).
-
Satisfactorily earn 12-24 credit hours at Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC), requirement depends on curriculum year of requested credential.
-

Certificate Requirements
