Harford Community College
FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
Budget Development Framework
As operating budget deliberations began for FY 2012, we were reminded of the continuing
trends in public funding of higher education. Harford Community College (HCC) has benefited
from strong financial support from both the County and State that has enabled the College to
provide higher education at a substantially discounted tuition. Historically, tuition has covered
approximately one-third of operating costs.
Beginning with FY 2008, the reduction in revenues below state budgeted estimates required
action. In July 2007, the Board of Public Works (BPW) reduced State reducing funding to
community colleges during the fiscal year. The FY 2010 state funding was reduced below the
previous year’s funding despite increases in enrollment. Further, the BPW actions have also
included reductions to the University System of Maryland’s (USM) operations which form the
future base for community college funding. A reduced level of funding per student at the USM
translates into less funding per student at the community college. Similar economic pressures
have also resulted in funding reductions from Harford County.
HCC understands the constraints on public funding. The funds that have been reduced represent
what would have been recurring operating revenues to support the College. Extrapolating the
cumulative effects of these reductions over the past three years demonstrates the College’s
funding has been reduced by $3.2 million between state and county funding. A tuition increase
of $5 per credit hour in FY 2011 supplanted a portion of those revenues.
HCC remains aware of the present economic status of the County and the State. The structural
deficit for the state continues to loom around $2 billion, and federal stimulus funding that was
used in the State operating budget in FY 2010 and FY 2011 is due to expire. Community
colleges were not directly included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(stimulus) funding that passed through the State. Harford County faces similar challenges as the
asset base valuation in the County has declined.
While much discussion concerning public funding is couched in the present economy and the
notion that this may be the new normal, it may take several years before community college
funding is restored to previous levels. This results in more emphasis to contain expenditures and
generate additional tuition and fee revenue and other revenues to supplant public funds. A
college that is expected to meet the demands of students, even if enrollment does not grow, will
need to generate revenues from other resources as public funding remains flat or declines. In
addition, colleges continue to struggle with earnings on balances as rates of return have virtually
become zero. This outcome has significantly reduced Other Revenue. Fortunately, with the
restrictions on investment options for college funds, HCC has not lost money in the market
decline.
The FY 2012 operating budget is framed around several broad revenue-related assumptions.

The College wants to remain prudent about enrollment growth and has budgeted a
minimal increase in tuition and fee revenues based on enrollment growth. However, the
College is also aware that continued growth in enrollment is not sustainable over time.

Harford Community College
FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets



The experience of other community colleges reminds us of this assumption and the
shortfalls of over-estimating tuition and fee revenue.
No increase in tuition is included in FY 2012 qualifying the College for the Keeping
Maryland Community Colleges Affordable grant.
Interest rates will likely continue to remain at historic lows during FY 2012, minimizing
potential growth of cash balances.
State funding will remain flat and an administrative fee for employees participating in the
state retirement systems will be shifted to the College.
General Operating Fund Revenues
The FY 2012 operating budget of $46,305,000 contains an overall increase of 4.45% in total
revenues and transfers. Three primary sources, Harford County Government, the State of
Maryland, and student tuition and fees (Table 1) provide the majority of Harford Community
College’s operating revenues. Other sources, including building use fees and earnings, account
for the remaining budget resources. The budget also includes fund transfers for support of the
capital budget. The general operating fund supports the College’s mission and the state law and
its attendant expectations to provide accessible and affordable higher education; it includes all
instructional programs and services as well as projects, personnel, and related costs.

County Funding
Harford County has consistently provided substantial operating support to its community college
(Diagram 1). The FY 2012 proposed operating budget contains $14,961,612 in funding from
Harford County, an increase of 3% replacing the equivalent mid-year reduction from FY 2011.
The College recognizes that county revenues have declined from FY 2009 levels, slightly higher
than the County FY 2007 funding, and the ability to restore funding levels to previous levels may
take several years.
In FY 2009, Harford County initially allocated $16,778,743 to support HCC’s operations. Based
on a slowing of the county’s revenue and its need to maintain a balanced budget, the county
administration requested a reduction of 5% of total county funding. HCC’s funding from the
county was reduced by $838,937 to $15,939,806. This funding level was carried forward in
FY 2010. In FY 2011, County operating funding was ultimately reduced by 9%, or $1,427,042.

Executive Summary
April 15, 2011
Harford Community College
FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
This was approximately the equivalent to the total revenues generated from $10 per credit hour
during the fiscal year.
Despite the economic environment, a comparison of the local portion of funding to support
community colleges throughout the state indicates that Harford County’s funding level remains
proportionately larger than the state and metro area averages (Table 2), although the trend has
been downward in recent years. The proportion of revenues from tuition and fees is below both
state and metro averages. The budgeted transfer-in from fund balance is included in the “Other”
category of the data supporting Table 2.

State Funding
State funding is projected to remain flat, a continuation of the FY 2011 funding level. The Cade
Funding Formula will be revised downward to account for the current funding level and increase
in enrollment. Total state operating funding of $9,719,168 is included in this operating budget.

Executive Summary
April 15, 2011
Harford Community College
FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
The recent history of state funding has been turbulent given the ongoing structural deficit in state
revenues coupled with the economic climate. During the 2006 Maryland General Assembly, the
legislature passed, and the Governor signed, legislation to increase the Cade Funding Formula
from 25% of the University System of Maryland (USM) full-time equivalent (FTE) student
expenditure base to 30% by 2013. While the state initially budgeted increases in funding, midyear reductions were instituted each year. The most recent state reduction eroded the Cade
multiple to 20% of the USM student expenditure base. Further, the USM has faced reductions
that will impact their FTE expenditure, which is the basis for community college funding. This
may further reduce future funding.
Given the most recent state revenue estimates, it may be several years before community
colleges return to even a 25% multiple of the USM base, although the Budget Reconciliation and
Financing Act of 2011 modified the formula beginning in fiscal 2013 with the Cade Funding
Formula reaching 29% in fiscal 2023. In recent history, the State has not achieved these longrange targets.
The State is also funding $5 million designated as the Keeping Maryland Community Colleges
Affordable grant. This will be discussed under Other Sources below.
The State also pays 100% of the employers’ share of the retirement costs associated with many
college employees, those participating in the Teachers’ Retirement and Pension Systems. This
cost is not included in the College’s operating budget. These defined benefit programs were
funded at $1.5 million in FY 2010 from the State on behalf of the eligible college participants.
This reflects the employer contribution rate of 14.34% of eligible base salaries. Employees in the
state pension system currently contribute 5% of their salary through payroll withholdings. The
employee contribution will increase to 7% in FY 2012. The Optional Retirement Program, a
defined contribution plan, is a reimbursement program provided through the State to the College
and was funded $368,261 in FY 2010. This is based on a contribution rate of 7.25% of base
salary. Participants in the Employees’ Retirement and Pension Systems are funded through the
College.
Beginning in FY 2012, the College will have to pay an administrative and operating fee
associated with each member of the State Retirement System’s defined benefit plans. The fee is
assessed at $162.77 per plan member. This will cost the College $54,691 based on current
participation. Employees participating in the Optional Retirement Program are not included.
Tuition and Fees
Tuition and Fee rates will remain the same in FY 2012. Tuition and fees represent the most
significant source for funding College operations at $17,163,743. Tuition is generated through
credit and noncredit courses. A budgeted increase of 5.4% in this revenue source, or $871,528, is
estimated over the FY 2011 budget based on the projected increase in FY 2011 revenue over the
budget, a projected increase in tuition and fee revenue off the FY 2011 year-end projection, and
the use of a portion of the student athletics and student activities consolidated fee allocation for
athletic and student life operations.

Executive Summary
April 15, 2011
Harford Community College
FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
In FY 2011, following a 10.2% increase in credit hours generated in Fall 2009 over the prior year
semester, the College assumed flat enrollment based on this notion. The Fall 2010 actual
experience exceeded the projection with enrollment up 6.9%, and tuition and fee revenue
projected to exceed the revised budget by $390,000 in FY 2011. Recall that $484,848 of
unallocated tuition and fee revenue was budgeted in FY 2011 to offset the County’s 3% mid-year
funding reduction. For FY 2012, an increase of 1.7% is projected for credit tuition and fee
revenue, yielding an estimated $221,000. Noncredit revenue is projected to remain flat. The
College administration recognizes that this is a conservative approach, but feels it is prudent at
this time and will continue to monitor revenue projections as the operating budget is developed.
In addition, $140,000 in consolidated fee revenues dedicated for student athletics will be used to
support team travel. Consolidated fee revenue of $120,376 dedicated for college life activities
will be used to support the commencement program.
Tuition for county residents will remain at $82 per credit hour. The consolidated fee will remain
at $9.84 per credit hour. A full-time student taking 15 credit hours for Fall and Spring semesters
would pay $2,755 in tuition and consolidated fees. A full time student taking similar lower
division, undergraduate courses at Towson University is projected to pay $7,656 in tuition and
fees, absent the $275 annual parking permit.
Other Sources
Other revenue sources of $1,019,759 comprise dividends, interest, building use fees, and the
State’s one-time Keeping Maryland Community Colleges Affordable grant. A slight increase of
$40,600 is included in the FY 2012 budget, representing a change in the estimated
reimbursement from the State for the Health Manpower and Statewide waivers. No changes in
facilities use fees are projected at this time.
Our portion of the State’s $5 million designated as the Keeping Maryland Community Colleges
Affordable grant is estimated at $254,610. The grant is unrestricted and to be divided among the
community colleges that limit tuition increases, if any, to 3% or less. All sixteen community
colleges have agreed to support the Governor’s initiative on behalf of community college
students and keep any tuition increases at or below 3%. The College is not including this in the
Cade funding listed under State Funding above since this is a one-time program and does not
become part of the maintenance-of-effort base for funding.
Transfers
The budget includes transfers from the operating budget’s undesignated fund balance and
College Store fund balance. Transfers represent one-time funds from the fund balance for the
operating budget. When transferred, such funds are allocated to non-recurring costs, such as
equipment or capital programs. In FY 2012, $3,240,718 from the undesignated fund balance is
allocated as a transfer-in to support the College’s commitment to the capital budget.
Additionally, $200,000 is transferred from the Auxiliary fund balances to support student
scholarships and financial aid.

General Operating Fund Expenditures
The proposed FY 2012 operating budget request (Table 3) is a composition of allocations
designed to maintain service levels for the increased enrollment. This budget includes a 2% wage
increase for full-time and part-time employees, modest increases in the number of adjunct
faculty, transportation demands associated with the relocation of athletic events, and equipment
refresh. In addition, there are price escalations associated with software maintenance agreements,
housekeeping and security services, health insurance, liability coverage, and credit card
processing fees. As the College has continued to experience substantial demand, servicing 7,166
credit students in Fall 2010, the pent up need for services to support students and faculty requires
consideration. There is also a transfer to support the on-going capital improvement program to
advance the College’s mission. This budget will increase overall expenditures 4.45%, or
$1,971,200, for a total of $46,305,000.

Budget Development
Budget managers were asked to examine their FY 2010 actual expenditures and budgeted
FY 2011 appropriations and make adjustments between their accounts to meet the programmatic
goals and objectives for FY 2012 without increasing the bottom line. This process enabled
budget managers to realign funds and reduce several allocations. During this process, budget
managers and their supervisors and vice president were to develop performance goals for each
budget organization. This is intended to better align planning, assessment, and resource
allocation decisions as the data is collected and integrated into the budget development process.
As budget development was underway, the salary and benefits committee, a standing committee
of the College Advisory Council, contributed recommendations to the president for
consideration. A 6% wage increase was included in the recommendations.
For budgetary compliance, expenditures are categorized by function into instruction, academic
support, student services, institutional support, operations and maintenance of plant, transfers,
and scholarships. The operating budget supports almost 10,000 credit students and 15,000
noncredit students over the course of the year.

Examining the proposed operating budget by object, or account type (Diagram 3), demonstrates
the distribution of expenditures. Approximately 66.8% of the budget is assigned to salaries and
benefits, which accommodates the Board of Trustees’ guideline to keep such expenditures at no
more than 75% of the entire budget. If the budgeted contracted services portion of costs for
security, housekeeping, and grounds are included in this calculation, then the ratio would be
approximately 71% of the operating budget.

The College considers the long-term viability of its decisions to add sufficient resources to attract
and retain a strong employee base with competitive benefits in the near term. This guideline
ensures that resources are provided to support all the vital aspects of successful educational
programs, puts student learning at the forefront, strives to maintain competitive wages with
comparable institutions, and provides competitive benefits.

Executive Summary
April 15, 2011
Harford Community College
FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
Highlights of Budget Requests
Salary and Benefits
Compensation includes salary/wages, health, and benefits adjustments. This budget contains a
2% wage adjustment for full-time and part-time employees, recognizing that wages have been
frozen for the previous two fiscal years while enrollment and student demand has grown. This
provides a 2% increase in salary scales, but does not provide step or merit increases. Estimated
cost is $510,500.
Medical benefits and health claims experience has continued to be within budget estimates. The
experience in FY 2011 was historically good, with claims experience well under premiums paid.
Based on long term trends and medical inflation projections, the College will hold medical,
dental, and vision premiums at their FY 2011 rates.
Direct post-retirement health benefits are not provided by the College for current employees.
Early retirement options were offered several years ago. The remaining Other Post Employment
Benefit (OPEB) obligations associated with these options are fully funded annually at $67,000.
HCC is one of a few public organizations that is able to fully fund its obligation. The College
does allow access to its medical plan for eligible retirees who purchase their own coverage at the
group rate.
There are no new positions included in this budget to support College operations. There are
costs associated with the eight positions that were added mid-year in FY 2011. With only onehalf a year, or less, of costs associated with these positions in FY 2011, the remaining half year
of budget allocation must be allocated in FY 2012. Following realignment of budgets, an
estimated $155,000 is necessary to cover the remaining salaries and benefits for the entire fiscal
year.
An increase in the use of adjuncts for instruction and labs is projected at $273,780. This will
support approximately 85 course and lab sections. There were 432 adjuncts for the Fall semester
of FY 2010.
Contracted Services
As the Financial Accounting and Reporting Manual (FARM) for Higher Education indicates, the
contracted services classification is significant monetarily and covers a broad range of expenses
including legal, audit, custodial, security, maintenance, grounds, repairs, postage, mailing,
printing and duplicating, freight, advertising, rental of property, professional fees, and dues.
Because of the breadth of this classification, subclasses are used to specify types of services such
as audit, legal, credit card fees, equipment repair, printing, service agreements, leases, field trips,
rent, insurance, and maintenance.

Harford Community College
FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
Capital Budget
The capital budget and program establishes the schedule of planned expenditures and
commitments for FY 2012 and the subsequent nine fiscal years. The capital improvement
program (CIP) is intended to meet the College’s needs for additional facility
improvements. The CIP is from FY 2012 - FY 2021 and integrates academic and physical
planning on a College-wide basis. The CIP establishes an itinerary for accomplishing
improvements in existing facilities and proposed new infrastructure investments based on
the Facilities Master Plan.
The College is required to submit the proposed capital budget to the Harford County
Government and the State of Maryland for review and funding. For major capital
projects, the State of Maryland provides funding through the Community College Capital
Grant. Projects are prioritized collectively by the community college presidents and
presented to Maryland Higher Education Commission, Department of Budget and
Management, and Department of General Services for review and potential funding in the
Governor’s Capital Budget. HCC also recognizes the need to plan for funding smaller
projects not traditionally funded by Harford County or the State. The College has
designated a portion of its fund balance to support these efforts.
Within each project proposal page, the Project Schedule reflects the major milestones by
fiscal year and is an indication of where the FY 2012 proposal falls in the project
timeframe. The Project Status is intended for major milestones that have been
accomplished. Within the Expenditure Schedule, a subtotal for requests during the
County’s Five Year Capital Program (FY 2013 – FY 2017) is calculated. The latter four
years of the College’s capital improvement program (FY 2018 – FY 2021) are subtotaled
for inclusion in the County’s Ten-Year Master Plan. The Financial Activity and
Estimated Annual Debt Service Cost will be completed by the County Budget Office and
Department of Treasury.
HCC’s proposal for FY 2012 includes capital funding requests totaling $19,276,976
among nine projects. The Susquehanna Renovation and Expansion project seeks total
funding of $14,850,440 from both the State and County along with $916,200 from the
College. This represents the second year construction funding and equipment and
technology funding. Design funding of $1,089,532 is requested in total from both the
State and County for a new Nursing and Allied Health building. A joint project is
proposed with Harford County for development of a roundabout at Thomas Run road and
Entrance 3. The design would be provided by the County and the $500,000 construction
cost would be split equally between the College and the County.
In addition, roof restorations with a budget of $742,594 and site and parking lot
improvements with $474,610 are budgeted from College funds. This capital budget
recognizes that State funding will not be available for roof and parking projects in the
future. The computer equipment/technology program, funded at $110,000 from a portion
of the consolidated fees, represents a portion of the College’s commitment to technology
refresh.

Harford Community College
FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
The Visual, Performing, and Applied Arts division requests investment in facilities to
service growing student needs. Specifically, there is a proposal for $250,000 for
renovation and construction of a Black Box Theater and $118,600 for construction and
acquisition of WHFC’s modifications to increase power and change to high definition
broadcasting. The $118,000 is funded with private contributions given to WHFC.
Finally, a project of $175,000 is requested for building and grounds. This is intended to
address HVAC equipment needs and stormwater management facility modifications.
The College does recognize the need to continue to seek funding as the demands on our
facilities and services have continued to grow.
Capital projects are classified according to the following categories:

Campus Infrastructure Improvements – With thousands of students visiting campus
every day, the demands on our physical campus need to be addressed. Parking lot and
sidewalk repairs are necessary to improve capacity and the flow of traffic. In addition,
major maintenance of septic fields and potable water systems upgrades are necessary.

Technology Investment – Technology investment is designed to meet the continuing
needs of the College’s technology backbone along with the on-going refresh of
hardware. This investment will support the network and communications
infrastructure throughout the 21 buildings on campus as well as enable remote access.

Recreation/Wellness Facilities – Capital investment is designed to support wellness,
athletic, and recreational activities. Such facilities include outdoor structures, such as
athletic fields, backstops, bleachers, and other support structures.

West Campus Expansion – Planning for future growth includes preparing for HCC’s
ability to expand to meet the demand. A capital program is budgeted that will enable
the College to secure undeveloped land adjacent to the campus.

Building Additions and Renovations – Funds provided for these projects will enable
the College to upgrade classroom space and facilities. These projects are geared to
meet growth demands and facility modernization. Many energy and building
efficiencies are incorporated into such projects.

PROJECT NUMBER
LOCATION:Main Campus
Project
Description /
Justification:
The College will partner with Harford County Government to fund construction of a roundabout at Thomas Run Road and Entrance 3. Harford County will provide
the necessary design work and construction cost will be shared equally. This location represents an on-going safety issue to students, employees and visitors,
along with thru-traffic, attempting to negotiate their vehicles through this location. As enrollment and activities on campus have increased, the queues of vehicles
entering and exiting have grown. A traffic circle or roundabout will act to calm the traffic flow at this location. This will enable safer access for drivers.

LOCATION: HCC Campus
Project
Description /
Justification:
The roof systems of the Student Center and Chesapeake Center are all flat built-up modified systems which were not included in previous building renovations. These
roofs have undergone partial replacement or resaturation processes to extend their useful life. Given the lifespan of the roofs, planning for a replacement strategy to
ensure all roofing systems are kept safe and structurally sound is required. Since the State will not fund this project, this is the second phase of roof replacements with
the funding provided by Harford County and the College. The Student Center roof is due to be replaced first.
Project Schedule: FY 10 - Completion of Joppa Hall Roof Replacement
FY 11 - Child Care Building Roof Replacement, Student Center to being in late spring 2011
FY 12 - Chesapeake Roof Replacement

PROJECT:
Black Box Theater
Council District: E
Harford Community College
PROJECT NUMBER
LOCATION:HCC Campus
Project
Description /
Justification:
The growth of the theater arts program and limitation on the availability of theater facilities of the Amoss and Chesapeake has generated need for this dedicated
instructional performance space. The black box theatre is a rather simple, low tech instructional/performance space with black walls, a flat floor, portable stage,
changing/prop storage room, and small audience seating area. This theater would be located in a large, under-utilized wood shop. The former workshop would be
reduced to maintain essential wood-working functions, and the remaining area would be renovated for the theater. The theater would be located in the home of the
visual, performing, and applied arts and managed by that division.
Project Schedule: FY 11 - Architectural Design

Description /
Justification:
This project would provide the necessary engineering to determine if the signal power can be increased to expand the listening area given the existing broadcast
signals in this area. The application, legal counsel, and engineering is estimated at $26,000 to be undertaken in FY11 and paid for with WHFC donations. The
conversion to high definition (digital) broadcasting could provide additional frequency on which to broadcast, providing a broader area for broadcast. This upgrade
includes application to the FCC for, and implementation of (pending FCC approval) an increase in power for WHFC-FM from 1,100 to 5,000 watts. This includes
estimated costs for new equipment purchases and installation work by the WHFC engineer and any necessary contractors (i.e. tower work). This project is funded
with private contributions that have been restricted to WHFC.

PROJECT:
Higher Education and Conference Center

PROJECT NUMBER
LOCATION:HECC/Aberdeen
Project
Description /
Justification:
The Higher Education and Conference Center has faced capacity issues in supporting the needs of graduate and professional certification programs along with
conferences and non-credit programs. A feasibility study was completed in March 2010 by Edmeades & Stromdahl and the Sage Policy Group. The study
concluded that BRAC, combined with normal population growth, increasingly longer commute times into Baltimore, and growing demand for higher education in
Harford County, cleary support the expansion of the HECC. The construction program includes 70,400 GSF of new construction and 10,500 GSF of converted space
that would triple the size of the HECC from 29,000 GSF to 99,400 GSF. It will enable the HECC facility to better fulfill the needs of the community for the foreseeable
future.

Harford Community College
Overview
Harford Community College (HCC), founded in 1957, is a comprehensive two-year institution
of higher education addressing the diverse educational needs of Harford County. An open
admissions institution that views learning as a life-long activity, the College provides transfer
and career programs and continuing education courses to challenge and to support students. The
College offers two-year curricula in more than 68 programs of study leading to an Associate in
Arts, Associate in Science, or an Associate in Applied Science degree that can transfer to a fouryear program or lead to immediate employment. Shorter curricula are offered leading to a
Certificate in 18 occupational fields.
The College strives to maintain a campus atmosphere conducive to excellence in learning and
teaching. As the only public college located in the county, Harford Community College serves as
the coordinator of post-secondary education in Harford County. The College strives to remain
responsive to its community by continuously assessing the needs and interests of Harford County
residents and, in response to the changing needs of its community, HCC has established a
direction and focus for its educational program. The budget process strives to merge resources
with identified needs.
A nine member Board of Trustees governs Harford Community College. Each member of the
Board is appointed by the Governor to a term of five years. A trustee may serve a maximum of
two terms. The Board of Trustees plays an integral role in the College Community including
establishing policy and developing an annual budget.
Harford County’s access to the Boston/Washington corridor’s transportation network and the
competitive cost-of-living compared to the other counties in the region makes the county ideal
for business growth. High quality technical education that meets the requirements of a changing
economy is a critical need in Harford County. The College augments the county’s efforts to
drive economic development and attract and retain successful enterprises as new program needs
continue to emerge.
The College is not only the educational center of the county, it is a cultural and recreational
center as well. A cultural events program and a community theater produce a full series of
offerings each year. Thomas Run Park, located on the College campus, is a sports complex
serving adult athletic needs for tournaments, evening activities, and special events.
Campus Location
The campus occupies 332 acres, geographically centered in Harford County, near Bel Air,
Maryland. The campus provides 287,345 assignable square feet of space. Harford County is
located in northeastern Maryland and consists of 448 square miles with a population of 244,130
Executive Summary

FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
The county contains three incorporated towns, Bel Air, Havre de Grace and Aberdeen, of which
Bel Air is the county seat.
Harford County is situated 60 miles north of Washington, D.C., 20 miles north of Baltimore and
75 miles south of Philadelphia. Two major highways, U.S. Route 40 and Interstate 95, traverse
the county and provide access to the Baltimore/Washington and Philadelphia/Wilmington areas
and to the New Jersey Turnpike. Two mainline railroads cross the county - CSX and Amtrak. In
addition, the Port of Baltimore and the Port of Wilmington serve the offshore movement of
larger cargo, which is vital to many of our businesses.

FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
Demographics
During the Fall 2010, 7,166 students were enrolled in credit courses. Approximately 60% of
HCC students are female and 40% are male. On average, more than half of Harford County
residents attending Maryland institutions of higher education at the undergraduate/lower division
level attend Harford Community College. Nearly 22.5% of the students are members of minority
groups. Approximately 44% of HCC students attend full-time.
Institutional Assessment
ACCESSIBILITY AND AFFORDABILITY INDICATORS
Harford Community College (HCC) has made steady improvements and shows strength in
performance on all indicators in the Accessibility and Affordability category. Both credit and
noncredit headcount have increased over the past five years: credit has increased 13.3% and
noncredit has increased 13.6%.
Harford’s tuition continues to be the lowest for all community colleges in the State, allowing
students from all socioeconomic levels to enroll. The market share of recent, college-bound
Harford County high school graduates enrolled at HCC remained steady at 67% from AY 200708 to AY 2008-09 demonstrating our continued recognition as a first choice for county residents.
In 2010-2011, the recommendation of the HCC Space Utilization Task Force to revise the
weekly class schedule to include classes that meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (as well as
Tuesday and Thursday), has been implemented. This revised class schedule more efficiently uses
available campus space by increasing the number of class sections that can be taught each week
by two. An assessment of this new class schedule will be conducted at the conclusion of the
2010-2011 academic year.
QUALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS: STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING, STUDENT
SATISFACTION, PROGRESS, AND ACHIEVEMENT INDICATORS
Harford continues its commitment to helping students succeed regardless of their academic
background upon entering college. The number and proportion of students enrolling full-time
continues to increase. In Fall 2009, 45% of credit students were enrolled full-time. Students with
developmental needs entering HCC also remains quite high, at 63%. The graduate satisfaction
with educational goal achievement remains very high at 99% satisfaction. The non-returning
student satisfaction level also remains quite strong at 68.7%, although will likely never be as
strong as the satisfaction of graduating students.
The benchmark data show HCC students are well prepared for transfer to Maryland public fouryear universities. In AY 2008-09, HCC students earned a mean GPA of 2.9 in their first year at
their transfer institutions. Further, 88.9% of HCC students earned a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or
higher during their first year of transfer.
Developmental Education Completion
HCC is continually taking steps to improve developmental education completion. Efforts are
underway to better understand the developmental non-completer outcomes and develop
appropriate responses. Ultimately, the primary goal is to provide the most responsive and
Executive Summary
April 15, 2011
41
Harford Community College
FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
effective learning opportunities and academic support for all students and in particular those in
need of developmental education. Whether our students aspire to complete an associates degree
or training for entry into the workforce, HCC strives to provide accessible, quality courses,
certificates, and degree programs in a variety of delivery formats to meet differing learning and
life needs. Support services, including appropriate early interventions such as tutoring,
mentoring and advising, are activated to help students get back on track when their performance
puts them at risk of failure or dropping out. Another key goal is to continually show our students
that we care about their success, a quality that students rate highly on college surveys.
While ongoing efforts to increase the number of completers enrolled in developmental education
have not resulted in the desired outcomes, actions have been taken to improve curriculum and
plans are underway to refine our understanding of the deterrents to completion based on data.
Academic divisions are modifying curriculum and enhancing support for students who are
academically at risk. For example, a major effort to date has been to combine our developmental
offerings to shorten the length of time necessary to move into college-level coursework, which
has been shown to improve student retention. Course content is integrated, reinforcing concepts
taught in both courses. These newly developed combined courses are four-equivalent credits,
whereas the original courses were designed only as three-equivalent credits, meaning students
meet on average four hours per week in the combined courses, rather then just three hours per
week in the original single courses. This design enables students to complete the developmental
sequence in fewer semesters. In addition, two developmental writing courses for ESL students
have been created.
Research continues to show that students who do not complete the prescribed developmental
coursework are less likely to persist and graduate. Experience has also shown that some students
resist completing developmental education courses because they do not recognize the need, or
believe the time required to take these courses delays completing their desired degree program.
A recent HCC study of math students showed that those who completed the prescribed
developmental math courses were more likely to be successful in college level math courses than
those who did not complete developmental education courses. An assessment project is also
underway to determine if altering the way in which students complete homework for Math 002
(Introductory Algebra) and Math 017 (Intermediate Algebra) will improve student success.
Academic divisions are also partnering with student services support staff to increase student
access to and use of tutoring and related support services. Since Spring 2008, Tutoring Support
Services has increased outreach to all developmental courses. Tutors visited all of the
developmental math and English courses at the start of the semester and established open
communication with the students and instructors. From Fall 2008 to Fall 2009 use of the walk-in
tutoring centers increased dramatically from 5,465 visits to 6,324 visits, a 15.7% increase in use.
In Fall 2008, Spring 2009, and Fall 2009, Tutoring Support Services collaborated with the
faculty to offer a learning community linking MATH 002 and HD 110 (Success in College and
Beyond). In Fall 2009, the pass rate for all students in MATH 002 was 34.2% and the pass rate
for the 18 students enrolled in the learning community was significantly greater at 67%. In the
future, this initiative will be implemented more broadly.
Executive Summary
April 15, 2011
42
Harford Community College
FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
A comprehensive study is being planned to better understand the reasons why students needing
developmental coursework are not completing their developmental sequences at higher rates. All
developmental non-completers will be surveyed on questions related to course-taking patterns
and reasons for non-persistence or failure. Academic performance data will be tracked and
analyzed. An analysis of the data should lead to the development of practices, policies, or
procedures to improve the developmental non-completer rate.
Faculty, administrators and staff from HCC and Harford County Public Schools (HCPS)
continue to have a strong partnership with a particular focus on improving college readiness
skills. For example, HCC has implemented a critical initiative with Harford County Public
Schools in which the College is now offering its algebra courses at selected County high schools
in an effort to lower the number of entering freshmen requiring remedial math. Discipline-based
teams and interdisciplinary groups share research on student performance, and work
collaboratively to align core curriculum and develop strategies to improve college-readiness and
enhance the seamless transition from high school to college.
To enhance our student success and retention efforts, in Fall 2010, HCC will launch a new First
Year Experience (FYE) task force. Given the increasing growth rate of full-time freshman
students at HCC, an FYE program will be an asset to students, providing them with critical
college survival skills and resources necessary for ongoing academic success. The task force will
consider FYE options such as a freshman seminar, critical support, and focused guidance for first
year college students.
Graduation-Transfers
The graduation-transfer rate after four years for the Fall 2004 cohort of college-ready students
was 64.8%, down from 70.9% for the Fall 2003 cohort, and which is also the lowest rate in the
last four years. However, the Fall 2005 cohort transfer-graduation rate after four years has
improved to 74.1%, the highest level in the past five years, which also surpasses the 2006
benchmark, which is set at 72%.
HCC continues to focus on developing and implementing targeted strategies to ensure that a
diverse student body possesses the necessary competencies and skills to succeed upon transfer to
a 4-year college or university. Data related to the performance of HCC students at their transfer
institutions shows that the average GPA for the first year after transfer is strong. In 2008-2009,
the mean GPA for HCC students after the first year of transfer was 2.90, exceeding the
benchmark of 2.80.
HCC has implemented several initiatives which will positively impact the graduation-transfer
rate over time. For example, the STEM Scholars STEP UP program, supported by an MHEC
grant, was launched in Summer 2009 with 20 first-year engineering and science majors. The
program focused on strengthening academic skills with a focus on math, science, and research
and career awareness. Fifteen scientists from the region participated as guest presenters.
Partnerships with business and industry resulted in support for STEM scholarships and
equipment.
Executive Summary

Harford Community College
FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
HCC offers a variety of courses and degree or certificate programs in formats that respond to the
needs of students who are challenged with trying to balance work and family commitments. For
example, the Winter Session that was launched in January 2009, is growing. This new session
provides access to accelerated courses for a growing number of students who wish to enroll for
additional credits, accomplish their academic goals more quickly, and/or transfer. The Winter
Session has the added benefit of providing opportunities for students to broaden their global
perspectives by participating in study abroad courses with HCC faculty, without impacting their
regular course load.
The future construction of an educational facility by Towson University (TU) near the HCC
campus is expected to enhance transfer opportunities for HCC students. The majority of HCC
students transfer to TU. The goal of this partnership is to provide accessible upper level
undergraduate education that will enable students to complete their associate degrees at HCC
and bachelor’s degrees at the TU location, all locally. Community residents will also benefit
from this increased access to higher education. In addition, transfer opportunities have been
enhanced through the undergraduate and graduate offerings by 4-year colleges and universities at
the Higher Education and Conference Center in Aberdeen. One example is the first cohort of
students in TU’s bachelor’s degree program in Elementary/Special Education who graduated in
May 2010.
HCC’s partnership with Harford County Public Schools (HCPS) is also critical in creating
opportunities to encourage students to attend and persist in college. Among the collaborative
efforts between HCC and HCPS are an articulation agreement for the International Baccalaureate
program and development of eleven pathways to accelerate completion of certificates and
degrees in selected disciplines. In addition, this year, incoming high school Bio-Medical
freshmen attended a one-week summer orientation to HCC’s biomedical program and several
HCC faculty served as sponsors for students in the HCPS Science and Math Academy in
biotechnology, environmental studies and physiology. HCC faculty have co-developed courses
and engaged in in-service training with HCPS faculty.
Retaining community college students to degree completion is an ongoing challenge. Most
students transfer from HCC before completing their associate degree. Others drop out for various
reasons. Recent data from the 2010 Community College Survey of Student Engagement indicate
that there are many challenges that impact the ability of students to complete their associate or
certificate programs. Among students surveyed, 47% stated that transferring to a 4-year college
would be a reason for withdrawing from HCC. When asked what reasons would cause them to
withdraw from college, 48% cited lack of resources, 38% stated working full-time, while 28%
cited caring for dependents.
To facilitate a smooth transfer for HCC students to 4-year colleges and universities, HCC has
entered into over 90 articulation agreements with other area colleges and universities to provide
HCC graduates with seamless pathways to these institutions. The academic divisions at HCC
also ensure that the classes the College offers align well with the transfer colleges. HCC’s degree
programs are offered as flexibly as possible to make it easy for a student to transfer to a variety
of schools. An increasing focus on developing 2+2 agreements makes transfer opportunities
more attractive to students who are able to have their entire degree accepted by a 4-year college

or university. Transfer colleges have a presence on HCC’s website and send representatives to
the campus to meet with prospective transfer students. Approximately 250 students attended the
2009 Transfer Fair, where 45 four-year colleges were present. Some academic divisions have
brought in faculty from various 4-year schools to meet with students and talk about programs
available to them. HCC also hosts Instant Admit Days for Towson University, University of
Maryland University College, Stevenson University, the College of Notre Dame, and University
of Baltimore. Representatives from these colleges visited HCC in the Fall and waived the
application fee for students who applied in person. Students who met the qualifications were
admitted “on the spot.”
HCC also conducts workshops entitled Steps to a Successful Transfer – Student Transfer
Workshop which provides information on transfer planning (including career exploration,
deciding on an academic major, navigating the transfer of college credit), maximizing transfer
resources, and the transfer admissions process at 4-year colleges and universities. Additionally,
orientation, academic, transfer and career advising are delivered to all incoming students, age
16-19, through the one-stop sessions. These half-day sessions are designed to provide students
with the opportunity to take the academic skills assessment, meet individually with an academic
advisor, receive information related to financial aid, learn how to navigate the online registration
system (OwlNet), and register for courses. Over 1,900 students were served during 2009-10.
DIVERSITY INDICATORS
HCC has a strong commitment to recruiting students from diverse backgrounds, learning styles
and needs. We believe that the diversity of our student population creates a rich teaching and
learning environment that fosters greater awareness and engagement in the global community.
Removing barriers to student success is a fundamental principle of our College.
The enrollment of non-white students at HCC continues to grow and surpass the benchmark,
reaching 20.4% non-white enrollment with a benchmark of 18%. This measure also exceeds
Indicator 14b (Percent of Non-White Residents in the Service Area Population 18 and Older),
which is 17.3%.
Creating a workforce that is reflective of the diversity of the student-body is important at HCC,
although we have not yet successfully reached this goal. Some progress has been made on
Indicator 15 (percent minorities of full-time faculty) increasing to 7.8% in Fall 2009, but still
falling short of the Fall 2010 benchmark of 11%.
The Human Resources and Employee Relations Department at HCC continues to place emphasis
on increasing the percentage of minorities who are full-time employees. One important factor to
note is that the College’s turn-over rate for full-time employees is less than 7%, which limits the
ability to increase diversity rates significantly in a short period of time, given no new positions
are being created at this time.
The successful persistor rate after four years for African American students in the Fall 2004
cohort was 50.6%, whereas the Fall 2005 cohort rate increased dramatically to 63.3%. The Fall
2004 rate is indicative of four years of consecutive decreases in the persistor rate for this group,
and is well below the College’s benchmark of 75% for the Fall 2006 cohort. Such dramatic
Executive Summary
April 15, 2011
45
Harford Community College
FY 2012 Proposed Operating and Capital Budgets
swings in the data indicate that potentially the Fall 2004 cohort was an outlier during this five
year period. The Fall 2005 cohort persistence has bounced back up and even surpassed several of
the previous five years. The achievement gap between the African American cohorts and all
students is still pronounced, however, and HCC continues to strive toward closing that
achievement gap by strengthening access and support.
The Rites of Passage (ROP) is a recruitment and retention outreach program designed to enhance
the academic success of minority students. The program continues to provide critical support for
minority students through targeted academic support, cultural programs, and mentoring. The
goal is to encourage student retention to completion. Administrators, faculty, and staff of varied
backgrounds serve as role models and mentors to students. Since 2007, four Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity Scholarships in memory of Donald J. Waldon, have been awarded to ROP mentees. In
addition to being award recipients, ROP mentees and mentors are afforded the opportunity to
attend the scholarship banquet. For 2010-2011, additional peer leaders will be hired to assist with
the engagement of students in ROP activities. The goal is to hire 4-6 students prior to the start of
the school year.
HCC students and staff attended the conference titled "Unleashing Power, Potential and
Promise” which was sponsored by the Harford County Alliance of Black School Educators in
partnership with FACE IT, Harford County Office of Drug Control Policy and HCC/ROP.
Two ROP student mentees conducted a workshop using a documentary titled "Bring Your A
Game." The documentary is a thought provoking conversation regarding the challenges and
crisis faced by Black males along with strategies for change. The video features personalities
including academician and activist, Dr. Cornell West, New Jersey Mayor, Cory Booker, Film
producer, Spike Lee, music moguls, Damon Dash, Russell Simmons, Diddy, and Lupe Fiasco.
Approximately 100 students from schools around the County attended the event including ROP
student mentees and staff mentors. In the Spring of 2011, ROP will co-sponsor similar
workshops with the Harford County Public Library and Harford County Public Schools.
Another example of the College’s efforts to improve the persistence of African American
students is HCC’s nursing program, which continues to expand opportunities for minority
students in general. Targeted strategies have been implemented to improve retention rates. The
Student Success in Nursing Program is designed to improve the retention and graduation rates of
ESL and other minority graduates by 50% over a five year period.
In September 2009, HCC/ROP students attended the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) annual
legislative conference in Washington D.C. A featured session was led by Darnell Shields, a
frequent guest speaker for ROP, on methods for educating and empowering our youth. The
session titled "Men To Boys: Lessons to Uplift Our Community" comprised a panel of men from
across the country including music executive and Baltimore native, Kevin Liles, International
Journalist, Jeff Johnson, Morehouse College President, Dr. Robert Franklin, Essence Magazine
Editor, Susan Taylor and others.

INDICATORS
The HCC Continuing Education and Training Division continues to serve key constituencies in
Harford County and the larger service area. As strategic partners in the County’s preparation for
BRAC, the Business and Industry Training Department was reorganized to better serve Harford
County organizations. A Director for Government, Contractor, and IT training was appointed
and a coordinator was added to support this effort. Harford Community College at the GATE
will open on September 1, 2010, and will serve as a convenient educational site for employees
working on the Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Post.
The Regional Community College Workforce Training Initiative was completed by Beacon
Associates, providing the first detailed analysis of the educational requirements at APG due to
BRAC. The study has been used by educational institutions throughout the state as a planning
resource.
The HCC Higher Education and Conference Center coordinated and hosted the first Advance
Planned Briefing for Education, providing a venue for APG to communicate with twelve
institutions of higher education in Maryland. Important relationships have been established as a
result of this briefing.
The HCC Small Business Development Center introduced Specific Topics Training in
Accounting, Financing, Loan Proposal, Cash Flow, Franchising, Legal Issues, Managing a
Business, Marketing, and Strategic Planning. The sessions served 1,143 people interested in
starting or expanding their small businesses. HCC worked with local community groups to offer
professionals in the fields of Allied Health and Nursing a Caregiver Training Conference in
November 2009. The conference was supported by a grant from MetLife.
HCC has implemented a number of initiatives to support workforce development for people with
disabilities. HCC Adult Literacy Department developed and presented a webinar series on
essential workplace skills for individuals with disabilities in collaboration with Maryland
Department of Disabilities and the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation.
The webinar series was funded by the Maryland Department of Disabilities through Medicaid
Infrastructure Grant funding from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare CFDA 93.768 and the
Office of Disability Employment Policy, U.S. Department of Labor. HCC also participated in the
Federal Workforce Recruitment Program for College Students with Disabilities, coordinated by
the Office of Disability Employment Policy and the U.S. Department of Defense. The program
provides summer work experience, and in some cases full-time employment, for college students
with disabilities. Additionally, HCC staff collaborated with Maryland Department of Disabilities
for the production of the webinar “Official Communication of Accommodations.”
Community Outreach and Impact
Harford Community College collaborates effectively with employers, Harford County Public
Schools, and other organizations to provide a variety of valuable learning opportunities for
students, to serve key constituencies, and to benefit Harford County residents.

Outreach and Partnerships with Employers
During 2009-2010, HCC placed 34 cooperative education and internship students with local
employers. These opportunities gave students the chance to gain real world experience related to
their major while providing employers with free or inexpensive workers who they can observe
and preview as potential future employees. Students from the following majors participated:
accounting; paralegal; computer information systems; CADD; business; interior design; and
general studies w/physical education focus.
Additionally, HCC students received a career infusion lesson in the course BA 101 (Introduction
to Business). Students completed a formal study of an occupation as a capstone to the program.
Students in BA 105 (Professional Selling) participated in a resume workshop where they gained
access to an on-line career site, eDiscover, to begin developing a template for their own resumes.
Students in the Paralegal program attended the workshop, “The Paralegal Profession: from
College to Career.”
Advising, Career and Transfer Services staff members organized and facilitated two employment
readiness workshops for students in the CNA and medical assisting programs. The workshops
entailed resume building, interviewing skills and professional dress. Students’ resumes were
reviewed and mock interviews were held in preparation for employment.
Outreach and Partnerships with Educational Institutions
At the request of the Harford County Public Schools, HCC expanded outreach to more at-risk
high school students. Three target groups of students were identified: students facing suspension,
students enrolled in the Alternative Education program, and students who had chronic
absenteeism and were referred to the Harford County Truancy Court. Students meet with an
HCC admissions specialist to discuss goals, learn about the HCC enrollment process and
financial aid opportunities, and have a campus tour with the goal of instilling interest in the
students about their future and potential for college attendance.
HCC has participated with Morgan State University in the CONNECT Program since the Fall of
2005. The program is designed for students who do not initially meet the qualifications for
admission to Morgan State University to begin their studies at HCC. With the purchase of the

Outreach and Partnerships with Community Organizations
HCC Community Education Department worked with The ARC to create the “Diverse Explorers
Summer Inclusion Camp” for able and disabled student youth in August 2009. Fifty-two students
participated in this innovative program. A presentation on lessons learned and success factors
was delivered at a statewide conference in May to encourage and assist in replication statewide.
The department also developed the “HCC 55+ Club” for adult learners, to promote lifelong
learning opportunities.
HCC increased collaboration with community groups that provide services to minorities and
individuals from low socioeconomic status. Staff provide presentations on motivation and the
importance of post-secondary education, as well as meet with individual prospective students to
discuss enrollment steps to HCC. Community groups involved in this initiative include the
WAGE Connection, Open Doors, and Department of Social Services.
The HCC Office for Disability Support Services presented a workshop in the Expo for
Transitioning Youth sponsored by Harford County Commission on Disabilities entitled “Picture
Yourself in College” and collaborated with Department of Rehabilitation Services for a
presentation at the Workforce Technology Center entitled “Preparing Students with Disabilities
for Online Learning.”
HCC’s Cultural Events and Performing Arts department partnered with The Historical Society of
Harford County to present Charlie Zahm in Concert featuring one of the most renowned
performers on the Celtic festival circuit. Presented at the Amoss Center, the concert attracted an
intergenerational audience of community members excited about experiencing Celtic music and
tradition. Likewise, Cultural Events fostered a new partnership with the Harford County Public
Library to promote reading and attending family performances of children’s literary classics at
the College. Bookmarks with all the Family Series shows were distributed to the branches of the
Library to promote “bookshelf-to-stage” opportunities for young readers in Harford County. The
US Army Materiel Command Band from APG also partnered with Cultural Events to present a
free holiday concert in the Amoss Center for members of the military in December 2009. For the
performances of “The King and I” and Chinese Acrobats of Hebei, Cultural Events offered a
block of discounted tickets to APG military family members.
The Cultural Events team has collaborated with the community in other ways over the past year.
Dance students and teachers around Harford County enjoyed free tickets to attend the
performance of “Animals on Parade” presented by Harford Dance Theatre, the resident
community dance company at HCC. Similarly, senior citizens at the McFaul Activities Center
received 80 complimentary tickets to Emile Pandolfi in Concert, a signature music event in
April. Community outreach also targeted area senior centers including Brightview/Avondell
Senior Living, Lorien Assisted Living, Glen Meadows Retirement Village, Catered Living of
Bel Air, Jacob’s Well Assisted Living, Oak Crest Village (Baltimore), Aberdeen Senior Center,
Edgewood Senior Center, and Red Hats of Bel Air, as well as various area Girl and Boy Scouts
of America troops. During the school year, the School Concerts Committee coordinates with
HCC to fund elementary, middle, and high school student tickets to HCC cultural performances.
