The information below is based on the application requirements for Winter term 2022 admission. It is provided as an example to guide potential applicants on the admission process and application requirements which may be subject to change as program criteria can change for each new application year.

Prior to applying it is very important that you read the Admission Details for the year you plan to apply since admissions criteria, deadlines and prerequisites requirements are subject to change from year to year. The previous year’s application information is posted only as a resource. It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to be informed and adhere to all requirements, procedures and deadlines for the application year they are applying.

Additional Transcript Considerations

Transcripts must be official (unopened) and issued directly by the institution from which the course(s) were taken. Coursework showing as transferred from one institution to another is not accepted. Official electronic transcripts (e-transcripts such as Parchment or EDI) submitted via secure electronic delivery service may be submitted to ar@mhcc.edu. If submitting transcripts by mail, send to:

Mt. Hood Community College – Advanced Placement Nursing Application
Admissions, Registration and Records
26000 SE Stark St.

• Regionally Accredited Institutions: Required from all institutions attended.
• Non-Regionally Accredited Institutions: Not required.
• AP, CLEP or IB Transcripts/Scores: Required only if using for admission requirements and must be issued directly from College Board or International Baccalaureate in a sealed envelope (see https://mhcc.edu/CreditAlternatives).
• Foreign/Non-US Based Educational Transcript: Required only if using to meet admission requirements and must first be evaluated by an outside credential service. The evaluated transcript must be submitted by the application deadline for the program. For more information, visit: www.mhcc.edu/internationaltranscript. Evaluation processing for foreign transcripts is time consuming, and the process could take up to six weeks. It is best to start this process early. A foreign bachelor's degree does not fulfill the prerequisite requirements.
• MHCC transcript: Not required, already on file.

Admission Disclosures

Admission of all students is centralized in the Admissions, Registration and Records office. Admission to the College does not guarantee admission to the Nursing program. The Admissions, Registration and Records office has the sole authority to inform students of their admission status.

The Admissions Evaluator has the final authority on what constitutes equivalency for all admission criteria. If you have questions regarding admission requirements and procedures, please email LRadmissions@mhcc.edu.

Reasons for Admission Disqualification

Withholding information or giving untruthful information the program application could be cause for non‐acceptance or dismissal from the program. Students who were admitted and then failed a required course or were dismissed from the program or any other health related program may be denied admission into the program.

Previous Admission

Applicants who were previously accepted into the program and then declined acceptance or withdrew will need to re‐apply by submitting a new application to the program and will be required to meet the current program admission requirements and program standards. Updated official transcripts are required only if new courses have been taken.
