LETTER FROM THE CHANCELLOR
Success. It is a word not taken lightly at the Metropolitan Community Colleges. Longview,
Maple Woods and Penn Valley colleges are dedicated to helping you succeed and our concern
goes beyond your college career. Success in your community, your neighborhood and your
family are equally important. We strive to make your development while in college as whole

This is an exciting time to be a student at the Metropolitan Community Colleges. New

Over the years, your community college district has worked hard at staying on the cutting edge
of new technologies while maintaining a high quality of instruction in traditional, liberal arts
disciplines. More recently, we have engaged in a strategic planning process to increase
educational excellence, expand our technological support for instruction and maintain a
supportive, caring environment. Our dedication to quality education is without question. Your
instructors at MCC are true educators with your welfare and future as their utmost concern.
We will continue to develop innovative programs that address the social and economic needs
of the communities we serve. Our growth and commitment reflect our strong ability to
recognize and measure accurately the supply and demand for our services.

GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORY OF THE
METROPOLITAN
COMMUNITY COLLEGES
T
he Metropolitan Community
Colleges—Longview Community College (south), Maple
Woods Community College (north),
and Penn Valley Community College
(central) and their satellite campuses—
have placed higher education within a
few minutes of all residents of the four
Missouri counties of Metropolitan
Kansas City. Although the District was
first organized in 1964, the present
community colleges inherit the proud
tradition of the Junior College of Kansas City.
In 1915 the Kansas City Board of
Education established the Kansas City
Polytechnic Institute at Eleventh and
Locust Streets in the downtown area.
The Junior College Division of the Institute was accredited by the North Central
Association of Colleges and Schools in
1918. The following year this division
along with the Business Training, Engineering, and Nurses Training divisions
were combined and named the Junior
College of Kansas City. In 1921 an
evening college was inaugurated. The
college immediately established a reputation for academic excellence and service which has been maintained through
the years.
In the 1930s the school district established junior colleges in two high school
buildings, Northeast Junior College in
1930 and Lincoln Junior College in
1936. Both were eventually combined
with the Junior College of Kansas City,
Northeast in 1937 and Lincoln in 1954.
As the enrollment continued to increase, the Junior College outgrew the
old building, and in 1942 it moved to
3845 McGee Street. That facility accommodated a great number of veterans
who enrolled after World War II. The
college remained the academically oriented institution that it had been in the
twenties and thirties, but once the bulge
of postwar enrollment dwindled, there
was an effort to increase the occupational offerings. Another factor affecting the development of the college was
the gradual shift of the population to
the suburbs after the war. As a result,
more and more residents of outlying
school districts attended the institution.
From the beginning and until 1964,
the college was a part of and administered by the Kansas City School District. Then, in May 1964 the voters of
seven suburban school districts—Belton,
Center, Grandview, Hickman Mills,
Lee’s Summit, North Kansas City, and
Raytown—joined with the citizens of
the Kansas City School District to approve the creation of the Metropolitan
Community College District.
The college was still housed in the
building at Thirty-Ninth and McGee.
Voters of the new District in November
1965 approved, by a majority of more
than 75 percent, a bond issue of
$25,200,000 for campus construction.
Meanwhile, in 1966 the institution increased its instructional space by leasing a building at 560 Westport Road
which the District subsequently purchased. The McGee building was returned to the Kansas City School District in 1969. Earlier planning by the
MCC trustees and administration had
set things in motion to establish community colleges in the northern and
southern parts of the District to complement the central institution which continued to operate on Westport Road.
In 1969, five years after the formation of the MCC District, Longview,
Maple Woods, and Penn Valley Community Colleges were opened, replacing the single institution—the Metropolitan Junior College.
Longview Community College
serves primarily the southern and eastern parts of the MCC District. The
main campus of 147 acres, once part of
the historic Longview Farm, was a gift
to the District of the daughters of R.A.
Long, a pioneer lumberman. With permanent buildings overlooking Longview Lake, it is one of the most attractive college campuses in the nation.
In six permanent buildings, the college occupies 231,570 square feet. The
Longview Sports Complex with an additional 61,245 square feet provides
physical education facilities for students of the college and recreational
opportunities for the general public.
Plans call for the construction of an
additional 34,910-square-foot classroom building in the near future.
The newly constructed Independence Campus, located on a 30-acre
site at 20301 E. 78 Highway, contains
a 26,591-square-foot building. In addition, some students are served at the
Truman Campus located at 600 W.
Mechanic, a consortium which includes
the Independence School District,
University of Missouri – Kansas City,
and the Metropolitan Community
Colleges.
The Blue Springs Campus of 19
acres provides a permanent building
with 30,000 square feet of instructional
and support space.
Maple Woods Community College
serves the residents of Clay and Platte
Counties. Its 205-acre campus in Kan-

sas City north is adjacent to the largest
native stand of sugar maples west of
the Appalachian Mountains, which
gives the college its name. Its seven
permanent buildings provide 150,699
square feet of space. Additional facilities at the Kansas City Municipal Airport provide 30,134 square feet to accommodate the aviation maintenance
program. The recently constructed
Northland Human Services Center is a
joint venture serving Clay, Platte and
Ray counties. Maple Woods will utilize 15,601 square feet of the 84,000square-foot building to house a fitness
center. Future plans call for the completion of a 10,955-square-foot Animal
Care Institute.
The Park Hill Education Center has
a new building which provides 30,000
square feet of space.
Penn Valley Community College is
composed of a $20 million campus
situated on a 25-acre site at 3201 Southwest Trafficway, overlooking the beautiful and historic Penn Valley Park for
which it is named. The College is
centrally located near the city’s business, industrial, and residential areas.
Penn Valley now occupies 435,136
square feet.
Penn Valley’s Pioneer Campus at
Eighteenth and Prospect provides an
additional 99,400 square feet, and the
Education Center at 534 E. 99th contains 10,000 square feet.
The new Business & Technology
Center near I-435 and Front Street at
the eastern end of an important Kansas
City commercial/industrial corridor,
provides 110,000 square feet of space
ideally situated for economic development and employee training.
The decade of the 1980s revealed
the continued vitality of the Metropolitan Community Colleges. It was a
period of expansion, for the citizens of
two additional school districts voted to
join the MCC District—Blue Springs
in 1984 and Park Hill in 1986. The
decade also marked the second phase
of campus construction. In February,
1984 the Board of Trustees approved
the sale of bonds, and in 1985 the
Missouri General Assembly appropriated an additional $5,150,000 for MCC
construction. Ground was broken at
Longview and Maple Woods in late
summer, and permanent buildings were
completed by summer 1988.
The decade of the 1990s continues
to be an exciting time for the Metropolitan Community Colleges. Progressive community interest and support
was evidenced by two additional school
districts voting to join the MCC District in April of 1993 — Independence
and Fort Osage.
September 1990 marked the seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding
of the Kansas City Polytechnic Institute. Since 1915 the District has served
thousands of students, and although it
is the oldest institution of public higher
education in the Kansas City metropolitan area, the staff of MCC are determined that in the decade of the 1990s
the District will continue to respond to
the changing educational needs of the
community.
PHILOSOPHY
The three Metropolitan Community
Colleges are dedicated to serving the
educational needs of the community.
The college programs are intended to
help students understand themselves,
the society of which they are a part,
and the universe in which they live. At
the same time, the colleges provide
opportunities for students to develop
occupational skills. Faculty and administrators cooperate to provide an
environment which stimulates intellectual growth by nurturing academic
freedom for students and instructors.
The programs offered are intended to
encourage lifelong learning. Finally,
the employees of the District are committed to providing equal opportunity
to all persons regardless of age, creed,
race, or sex.
MCC MISSION
The Metropolitan Community
Colleges, as comprehensive postsecondary institutions, provide access
to affordable, responsive, quality
education and training opportunities in a supportive and caring environment that values diverse constituencies and enables individuals to
successfully pursue lifelong educational and career goals.
In order to accomplish this mission, the board of trustees has empowered the chancellor, as executive officer, to implement its policies. The
chancellor, with the other officers of
the District, will provide leadership in
the implementation of the mission and
goals of the District.
The following purpose statements
declare how the MCC will carry out the
mission of the District:
8

other educational institutions.
• Provide and promote access to and
accommodations in District programs
to all qualified individuals, including
those with disabilities.
• Enhance the learning environment
through a variety of delivery systems.

EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES
To meet the needs of its community,
the MCC District offers a number of
kinds of educational programs.
Transfer or University
Parallel Courses
The Metropolitan Community Colleges offer courses and programs in
the liberal arts and sciences which are
identical with those offered in the first
two years at four-year colleges and
universities. Therefore, a student who
has planned a program carefully can
receive an Associate degree in Arts,
Computer Science, Engineering, or
Science and transfer to the third or
junior year at a four-year college or
university. District colleges can prepare a student for further work in the
following areas: Anthropology, Art,
Biology, Business Administration,
Chemistry, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Economics, Education, Engineering, English, Foreign Language,
9
Geography, Geology, History, Human
Services, Journalism, Law, Mathematics, Music, Pharmacy, Philosophy,
Physical Education, Physics, Political
Science, Psychology, Social Science,
Social Work, Sociology, Speech, and
Theater Arts.
Occupational Programs
The Metropolitan Community Colleges also offer courses and programs
which prepare students for immediate
employment or for career advancement.
There are two-year programs leading to
the Associate in Applied Science degree
as well as programs of one-year or less
leading to a certificate of proficiency.
The District offers programs in more
than fifty career fields including such
areas as business and office technologies, health services, mechanical and
engineering technologies, natural science technologies, and public service
technologies. These courses are taught
by individuals who have had experience
in business and industry and who keep in
touch with current developments in their
fields.
Exploratory Study
Because the Metropolitan Community Colleges offer expert career counseling as well as a wide variety of courses,
students have an opportunity to plan a
program which will enable them to explore their interests, identify their abilities, and choose an area of study for
which they are suited.
Basic Skills Courses
In addition to providing diagnostic
tests in English, mathematics, and reading, District colleges offer instruction in
these basic skills to enable students to
achieve the proficiency which is required
in college courses.
Schedule of Classes
The academic year is divided into
two sixteen-week semesters, one beginning in August and the other January.
During the summer there is an eightweek session beginning in June. In addition the colleges offer courses of different lengths which begin at various
times during the year.
During the day, classes are scheduled
five days a week, usually between 8:00
a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Evening classes are
offered between 4:30 and 10:00 p.m.,
usually Monday through Thursday, but
some also meet Friday evenings. Furthermore, the colleges may offer Saturday classes during the academic year.
Business & Technology
Center Employee Training
Program
In addition to traditional college credit
courses, the Metropolitan Community
Colleges offer specialized training programs for employees of area businesses,
industries, and agencies. Such programs
can be designed to meet the specific
training needs of particular organizations in an efficient and cost-effective
manner. Depending upon the arrangement, employees in such courses may
earn college credit, Continuing Education Units, or no credit at all. Classes
may be taught on site or on campus.
MCC instructors and consultants who
provide such training are professionals
who are active in their fields and who are
skilled at sharing their knowledge with
adult students of all ranges of ability.
Instructors can provide a single course, a
short seminar, or an organized program
of classes. The subject matter can be
condensed or expanded to fit the time
allowed by the participating organization. Courses may be offered during
working hours, at lunch breaks, or after
work. They can be prepared promptly
and offered when needed without regard
to the academic calendar of the college.

The Metropolitan Community Colleges also offer cultural and general informational courses to adults of the area
as well as classes to help them upgrade
their occupational skills or retrain for
another career. These community education courses are not offered for college
credit (although in selected subjects Continuing Education Units are awarded).
These courses are self-supporting.
Course work is available in the following areas: arts and crafts, business,
career enhancement, computer training,
domestic and self-improvement, hobbies, legal or financial aspects, and recreation and sports.
In addition to the course work for
adults, both Longview and Maple Woods

find their own quarters. Near Penn Valley there are many apartments, so that
students should have little problem securing housing. There are fewer apartments near the Longview campus, and
the housing problem for international
students is most acute near the Maple
Woods campus.
Finances
International students entering the
Metropolitan Community Colleges for
the first time from outside the United
States should carry a minimum of $1,500
in easily negotiable travelers checks.
Personal checks require at least three
weeks to clear.

PLACEMENT TESTING
Academic policies at MCC strive to
facilitate student achievement. In support of academic success, a mandatory
Testing and Placement of Students Policy
requires that all students present evidence of readiness for course work in the
basic skills areas of writing, reading and
mathematics.
All first time students, returning or
transfer students taking 6 or more credit
hours who have not successfully completed a college level English and/or
mathematics course, and interrupted enrollment students prior to completion of
15 credit hours must take the placement
test. Course placement will be determined by test score results. Students are
required to enroll in courses planned to
remediate any deficiencies.
The required college entry level competencies have been determined by the
appropriate academic departments. Any
challenges to these procedures should be
addressed to the appropriate department.
Visiting students with approval to
enroll from their home institutions are
exempt from these requirements.
RESIDENT
CLASSIFICATION
Student fees will be assessed according to the following provisions.
Definitions
Domicile: Presence within a state with
an intent of making that state a permanent home for an indefinite period.
Residency or Resident Status: That status which is achieved when sufficient
proof of a domicile within a state is
presented.
Adult Student: Any student who has attained the age of twenty-one years.
Unemancipated Minor Student: Any student who has not attained the age of
twenty-one years and who is under the
care, custody, or support of the individual or individuals who have legal custody of the student.
Emancipated Minor Student: Any student who has not attained the age of
twenty-one years but who is not under
the care, custody, or support of an individual or individuals who have legal custody of the student.
District: The Metropolitan Community
College District consisting of the following component school districts: Belton,
Blue Springs, Center, Fort Osage,
Grandview, Hickman Mills, Independence, Kansas City, Lee’s Summit, North
Kansas City, Park Hill, and Raytown.
District Resident: A person whose residence is within the district.
Nondistrict Missouri Resident: A person whose residence is in Missouri, but
not in the district.
Nonresident: A person whose residence
is in the United States, but not within the
State of Missouri.
International Student: A foreign national
who holds one of the following kinds of
visas: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, D,
D1, E2, F1, F2, G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, H1,
H2, H3, H4, I, J1, J2, L2.
Resident Status
Adult Student
If an adult student who is not a resident presents sufficient proof of the establishment of a domicile:
19
Within the district, that student will
be considered a district resident at the
first enrollment following the establishment of that domicile.
Within the State of Missouri, that
student will be considered a nondistrict Missouri resident at the first
enrollment following the establishment of that domicile.
Unemancipated Minor Students
The domicile of an unemancipated
minor student is presumed to be that of
the individual or individuals having legal custody of the student.
If those having legal custody of the
student establish a domicile within the
district, that student will be considered a
district resident at the first enrollment
following the establishment of that
domicile.
Once an unemancipated minor student has established resident status under this rule, he/she may continue to
qualify for resident status as long as he/
she remains continuously enrolled in the
Metropolitan Community College District (excluding summer terms), even if
the individual or individuals having legal custody of the unemancipated minor
student cease to hold that residency
status.
Emancipated Minor Students
The domicile of emancipated minor
students will be determined as if they
were adults.
A minor may become emancipated
through marriage, formal court action,
abandonment, or positive action of alienation on the part of the minor.
Mere absence of the student from the
domicile of the individual or individuals
having legal custody of the minor shall
not constitute proof of emancipation.
In no instance will a minor student be
eligible for emancipation as long as he/
she is taken as an income deduction by a
second party other than a spouse.
Members of the Military Forces
Students will neither gain nor lose
resident status solely as a consequence
of military service.
District Residency
If a person on active duty with the
military force is stationed within the
district pursuant to military orders, that
individual as well as her/his spouse and
unemancipated minor children will be
considered district residents.
Missouri Residency
If a person on active duty with the
military forces is stationed within Missouri but outside the district pursuant to
military orders, that individual as well as
her/his spouse and unemancipated minor children will be considered
nondistrict Missouri residents.
Exception
If a member of the military forces is
assigned under orders to attend a Missouri institution of higher education as a
full-time student, that person as well as
her/his spouse and unemancipated minor children will be classified as if they
had no connection with the military
forces.
Noncitizens of the United States
Before students who are not citizens
of the United States are considered for
resident status, they must be classified as
resident aliens by federal authority.
Aliens who are in the district or Missouri as representatives of a foreign government or who are in the district or
Missouri at the convenience of the government of the United States or the State
of Missouri and who hold a G visa will
be entitled to resident status unless they
are government funded students.
Aliens and their dependents holding
A or L visas may be granted resident
status if it is determined that they are
designated individually as representative of their government and that their
education is not being funded by that
government.
Presence within the district or the
State of Missouri for a period of twelve
months and sufficient proof of intent to
make the district or the State of Missouri
a permanent home for an indefinite period.
Presence within the district or the
State of Missouri for the purpose of
retirement, full-time employment, professional practice, or conducting a business full time.
Supporting Evidence
In determining whether a student intends to make the district or the State of
Missouri a permanent home for an indefinite period, employees of the district
will give the following evidence heavy
weight but will not regard it as conclusive:
Continuous presence in the district or
the State of Missouri during those periods when the person is not enrolled as a
student.
Marriage to a district or Missouri
resident and maintenance of a common
domicile with the resident spouse.
Substantial reliance on sources within
the district or the State of Missouri for
financial support.
Former domicile within the district
or the state and maintenance of significant connections while absent.
Ownership of a home within the district or the State of Missouri.
Other Evidence
The following factors indicating an
intent to make the district of the State of
Missouri a permanent home for an indefinite period will be given less weight
Factual Criteria for
Determining Resident
Status
The burden of proof of eligibility for resident status will rest with the student.
Evidence of Eligibility
Attendance at an institution of higher
education will be regarded as temporary
presence in the district or the State of
Missouri, so that a student neither gains
nor loses resident status solely by such
attendance.
Definitive Evidence
The following evidence will be sufficient proof of domicile:
20
than those in the previous section. Only
in borderline cases will these factors be
determinative.
Registration for voting.
Part-time employment.
Responsibility for
Certifying Residency
Duty to Report the
Proper Residence
It is the duty of each student to pay
fees and tuition due the district according to her or his residence classification.
If there is any possibility that he or she
may owe the district more in fees and
tuition than has been assessed, it is the
student’s obligation to raise the question
at the time of registration.
Certificate of Residency If there is a
question concerning residence, the student will be required to complete a Certificate of Residency form at the time of
enrollment.
Penalty for False Residency Information A student who intentionally gives
false or inaccurate information on a Certificate of Residency, or who fails to
inform the college of a change of address which alters her or his residence
classification, will be subject to the following penalties: he or she may be dismissed from the college and her or his
academic records will not be certified to
any agency until the student has paid the
district the difference between the fees
and tuition paid and the amount owed
by a person of her or his resident
classification.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
SCHEDULE OF TUITION
AND FEES
A
t the time this catalog went to
press, the schedule of tuition and
fees was under consideration. If
there is not a tuition insert in this copy,
the necessary information is available in
the college business office.
District residents 65 years
or older
Any resident 65 years or older may
attend classes on a space available basis
without payment of tuition. Some classes
may require a lab or studio fee.
Loss of or damage to
district property
A student may be asked to reimburse
the District for loss of or damage to district property, and the student will be
required to pay for library books which
are not returned. If the students fails to
reimburse the District when he or she has
received adequate written notice, the
student’s registration may be cancelled
and no transcripts of academic work will
be issued for the student until this debt
has been paid.
Refunds for students receiving financial aid may differ. Those students should
consult the financial aid information
booklet.
STUDENT FINANCIAL
AID
One goal of the Metropolitan Community Colleges is to make opportunities for higher education available to all
area residents regardless of their financial status. Therefore, the colleges maintain a program of grants, loans, scholarships, and part-time employment for their
students to provide equal access to the
educational services of the District. Some
of these programs are supported by the
federal government and the State of Missouri. Some are maintained by the contributions of public-spirited citizens and
civic organizations through the auspices of the MCC Foundation Alumni
Association.
REFUND SCHEDULE

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
ing during the last quarter of the
term.
ACADEMIC EVALUATION
Grades
S
I
n each course offered for college
credit, students earn grades which
are recorded on their permanent
record. These grades used by District
colleges are as follows:
A
Indicates superior performance.
B
Indicates highly satisfactory performance
C
Indicates average performance.
D
Indicates below average, but passing performance.
F
Indicates unsatisfactory performance, failure.
W
Indicates withdrawal from class.
This grade is recorded for a student
who has either withdrawn from class
during the second or third quarters
of the term or who has been doing
satisfactory work when withdraw-
Indicates average or better (C or
above) performance of assigned
work when a student declares the
satisfactory-unsatisfactory option.
(See discussion of this option below.)
U
Indicates below average (D or F)
performance of assigned work. No
credit or grade points assigned.
P
Indicates passing or better performance of assigned work completed
in continuing education (noncredit)
courses.
I
Indicates incomplete work. This
grade is recorded for a student who
has completed satisfactorily all but
a small part of the required work for
a course (as determined by the instructor) but who for an acceptable
reason (serious illness, for example)
has failed to complete all of it. If the
student makes up the work during
the following semester, the instruc-
22
tor will change the grade to one of
the letters listed above. Otherwise
the grade on the permanent record
will be changed to F.
Au Indicates audit. This mark is recorded for a student who declares
at the time of registration the intention of attending a course for no
credit.
The SatisfactoryUnsatisfactory Option
Each semester students may elect to
enroll in one course for which they will
not receive the conventional grades
which yield scholarship points—A, B,
C, and D. Instead, if they do average
work (C or better), they will receive an
S. Students may apply toward a degree
only 15 semester hours of work in which
they have received an S. In order to avail
themselves of this option, they must
declare this intention before the end of
the first fourth of the term on a form
provided by the admissions office.
Scholarship Points
The scholarship points assigned to
the various grades are in the following
table.

examination. Students who miss a final
examination and make no explanation of
the absence to the instructor may receive
a final grade of F.
Students who are unable to take a
final examination because of illness or
other valid reasons should take the following steps: (1) notify the office of the
dean of instructional services as early as
possible before the examination so that
the instructor may be notified, (2) contact the instructor immediately upon return to school, satisfy the instructor that
the reason for the absence is valid so that
the instructor will record the temporary
grade of I, and (4) remove the grade of I
as soon as possible by making up the
final examination.
Repetition of Courses
Students may repeat a course as often
as they wish to attempt to improve the
grade. Although all grades earned in a
course will be recorded on the academic record, only the last grade will
be used in computing the grade point
average for MCC. Other institutions
may have different policies.
Grade Point Average
A student’s grade point average is
derived by dividing the number of scholarship points accumulated by the number of hours attempted (excluding hours
for which the student has received S or
W and duplicate hours repeated).
Grade Reports
Final semester grade reports normally are mailed to the student at the
end of each semester to the address of
record. Grades are available through
Metro Touch, the district's voice response system.
Final Examinations
Final examinations are given in all
courses, and students are responsible for
taking assigned final examinations in
the courses in which they are enrolled.
Toward the end of each semester, the
administration at Longview, Maple
Woods, and Penn Valley issues a final
examination schedule to all faculty members. Copies of this schedule are available to students. If students who have
done satisfactory work in a courses are
absent from a final examination for a
reason which seems to the instructor
acceptable, they may be allowed to make
special arrangements for making up the
HONORS
An honor student is defined as one
who is enrolled in six semester hours or
more and who has a semester grade point
average of 3.5 or higher in all courses
pursued at district colleges in which the
scholarship points were earned. A list of
students who meet these requirements is
published each semester. Special honors
programs exist at each campus. Contact
the academic advisors or counselors for
more information.
SATISFACTORY
PROGRESS
If students are to continue enrollment at district colleges, they are expected to make satisfactory progress
toward a degree or certificate (also required for maintaining eligibility for financial aid). Satisfactory progress as defined requires two things.
1. Achievement of the following minimum cumulative grade point averages:
Hours
Grade Point
Attempted
Average
12
1.00
30
1.50
45
1.75
60
2.00
2.
Maintenance of a ratio of at least 33
percent credit hours earned to credit
hours attempted after the student
has enrolled in 12 credit hours.
Students who have difficulty achieving satisfactory progress are urged to
work with a counselor to improve per-
23
formance. Failure to meet these criteria
may result in academic disqualification.
ACADEMIC RECORD
The official records which the college maintains for each student consist
of the following items:
(1) The student’s cumulative record
which includes directory information, a list of the courses in which
the student has been officially enrolled, the grades and grade points
earned in those courses, the number
of credit hours the student has attempted, the number of credit hours
the student has earned, the cumulative grade point average, honors
earned by the students, and degrees
or certificates the college has
awarded to the student.
(2) The application for admission.
(3) The student’s degree plan.
(4) The student’s high school transcript
and/or transcripts from other colleges attended.
All items are kept for five years after
the student leaves the college. After that
time, only the cumulative record is retained.
In accordance with federal law, the
only persons who have access to the
student records are faculty and staff members carrying out the business of the
college, for example, maintaining student records, counseling the student, or
providing academic advice.
TRANSCRIPTS
Upon receiving a written request from
the student, the admissions/records office will provide transcripts of her/his
academic record. Officially certified
copies of the transcripts will be sent
directly to educational institutions, but
copies issued to the student will not bear the
college seal. There is a fee for transcripts.
STUDENT RIGHTS AND
PRIVACY ACT
In compliance with Public Law 93380, the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974, the Metropolitan
Community College District affords all
students the right to inspect official
records directly relating to them and the
right to challenge any statement which a
student considers inaccurate, misleading, or inappropriate. Furthermore, the
college will require the written consent
of the student before releasing any except directory information from the
record.
According to federal law, the college
may for a valid reason release without the
student’s consent what it calls directory
information: the student’s name, address,
telephone number, date and place of birth,
major field of study, college activities or
sports the student participates in, the
height and weight of student engaging in
athletics, the dates the student has attended the college, degrees and honors
the student receives, and the name of the
school the student attended immediately
before enrolling at the college. However,
at the request of the student, the college
will withhold directory information as
well. At registration each semester, a
student has the opportunity to complete a
form requesting that all such information
be restricted.
Students who wish to examine their
official records may do so by applying to
the registrar. Students who wish to challenge the accuracy or appropriateness of
any information in the personal records
should request a meeting with the appropriate administrator.
The text of the federal law as well as
relevant MCC policies and regulations is
available in the admissions office.
✦If You Stop
Attending Class✦
Students are personally
responsible for withdrawing from courses which
they stop attending. If a
student receives an F because of failure to complete the official withdrawal procedure, that
grade will not be changed.
ATTENDANCE
A college is primarily an educational
institution, and the main part of the education takes place in classrooms. For this
reason, students are expected to attend
every meeting of every course in which
they are enrolled. Therefore the MCC
regulations provide that unless there are
mitigating circumstances students will
be withdrawn from a class:
1. After they have been absent for two
weeks consecutively or the equivalent amount during a shorter term, or
2. After they have missed one-third of
the number of sessions scheduled for
the class during the semester.
When the subject matter of the courses
requires it, an instructor may enforce a
more rigorous attendance policy.
To complete a course successfully,
students must master a required amount
of material, and those who fail to do so
(for whatever reason) cannot pass the
course. However, if students have a valid
reason for being absent, they will ordinarily be permitted to make up work
missed insofar as this is possible.
CREDIT BY
CERTIFICATION
Credit for noncollegiate experience
may be granted to entering freshmen and
other students who meet established certification guidelines. However, only experience related specifically to a program of study within the district will be
eligible for certification.
CREDIT BY
EXAMINATION
Credit in many subjects may be
granted to entering freshmen and other
students who pass appropriate examinations. Thirty semester hours is the maximum amount of credit which can be
earned in this way.
CREDIT FOR
ADVANCED STANDING
Courses taken at other colleges are
recorded on a student’s permanent record.
However, only courses equivalent to those
specified in the program the student is
pursuing will be applied to meet the requirements of a degree or certificate.
PROGRAM CHANGES
Course Changes
Students are expected to plan a schedule carefully, and, ordinarily, to remain
throughout the semester in the courses in
which they originally enrolled. However, because of unusual circumstances
24
such as the following, students may be
permitted to change classes: (1) errors in
enrollment, (2) cancelled classes, (3)
lack of prerequisite, and (4) justifiable
emergency conditions developing outside of the college. With the consent of
the instructor, students may also change
from one section to another section of
the same course taught by that faculty
member. Certain changes have time
limitations.
Necessary changes must be initiated
by an academic advisor or counselor.
Until a requested change is officially
authorized, students should continue to
attend the classes in which they were
originally enrolled.
Dropping a Course
Students may drop classes at any
time through the last day of instruction
for the semester. It is important that
students who stop attending classes withdraw formally from the courses in which
they are enrolled. Students who complete the procedure for withdrawing from
a class officially during the first threefourths of the term will receive a W.
Students who drop a course during the
final quarter of the term will receive a W
if they are passing or an F if they are
doing unsatisfactory work. Students are
personally responsible for withdrawing from courses which they stop attending. If a student receives an F
because of failure to complete the official withdrawal procedure, that grade
will not be changed.
Note: Students receiving federal or
state financial aid should be aware that if
they withdraw from a class, they may be
asked to repay the benefits received for
the course.
Withdrawal from College
Students who wish to withdraw
from all classes before the end of the
semester should complete the withdrawal form which is available in the
counseling or development center. If a
student is unable to come to the college to complete the form, it will be
sent through the mail. The student
should return the form to the admissions/records office promptly, because
the date that the form is processed will
be recorded on the student’s permanent record as the date of the withdrawal. That date may also determine
the grades the student receives for the
semester, because students withdrawing during the last quarter of the semester from a class in which they are
doing unsatisfactory work will receive
the grade of F.
STUDENT LOAD
A full load is at least twelve credit
hours during the fall and spring semester
and at least six hours during the summer
term. If students are to complete 62 semester hours in four semesters, however, they must take 15 or 16 hours per
semester. Students enrolled in a program requiring more that 62 semester
hours for graduation may carry as many
as 18 hours. Students whose academic
records are unsatisfactory may be restricted to less than a full load. On the
other hand, students with superior records
may, on occasion, receive permission to
carry more than 18 hours.
STANDARD OF
STUDENT CONDUCT
Students enrolling at a district college assume the obligation to conduct
themselves in a manner compatible with
the educational purposes of the college.
If a student fails to do so and engages in
behavior disruptive to the educational
process, the college will institute appropriate disciplinary action.
Specifically, students are expected to
comply with federal, state, and municipal laws concerning activities prohibited generally and specifically on public
school property and at college-sponsored
functions. Among these illicit activities
are civil disobedience, forgery, gambling, immoral conduct, libel, theft, use
and sale of alcoholic beverages and narcotics, and vandalism.
In addition to demonstrating honesty
and integrity, students are expected to
comply with all policies, regulations,
and procedures of the Metropolitan Community Colleges. They are expected to
comply with the college traffic code
and to follow the directions of college representatives acting in their
official capacity.
STUDENT GRIEVANCES
If students have complaints about
classroom instruction, college regulations and procedures require that they
first discuss the problem with the instructor or instructors who are involved.
25
If the matter is not resolved by this
discussion, students should consult the
appropriate division chairperson. If the
students are still not satisfied with the
resolution proposed, they may confer
with the dean of instructional services. If
the students involved feel that the issue
is still not resolved, the dean of instructional services will appoint a faculty
committee to dispose of the matter.
If the students have complaints about
matters other than classroom instruction, they should consult the dean in
charge of student services.
STUDENT
DISCIPLINARY
PROCEDURE
In the event that a student is charged
with misconduct requiring disciplinary
action, the student may, through the dean
of student services, request a hearing by
the student conduct committee. The committee will determine whether the misconduct charge is justified and whether
disciplinary action is appropriate. The
committee may recommend suitable action to the president of the college.
STUDENT SERVICES
CAREER PLANNING
AND PLACEMENT
A
mong the kinds of decisions
which counselors help students
make are those involving what
they will do once they leave the community college. The counseling or development centers maintain collections of college and university catalogs as well as
information about the requirements for
specific programs at area institutions.
To assist students in career planning,
the colleges provide extensive information about careers and job requirements,
tests to help students determine their
interests and abilities, and computerized
career guidance systems.
As a complement to career planning,
the colleges maintain placement centers
which provide other kinds of services.
First, the placement centers provide students instruction to enhance their job
seeking skills. Second, the centers assist
students in finding employment while
they are attending the community college. Finally, the centers assist persons
in finding full-time employment after
they complete the college program.
The placement centers help students
in preparing credentials and provide assistance to students and graduates by
maintaining information about job openings. Each of the colleges participates in
Project HIRE (Helping Industry Recruit
Employees), a computerized job development and job placement service which
lists opportunities in seven counties in
Missouri and Kansas.
COUNSELING AND
GUIDANCE
Professional counselors assist students with educational, vocational, and
personal concerns. Individual conferences and group experiences are available to those who wish to increase their
effectiveness as learners and to improve
their social skills.
Entering students may meet with
counselors prior to enrollment to select a
program of courses appropriate to their
educational backgrounds, interests, abilities, and goals. Throughout their stay at
the college, students are encouraged to
confer regularly with counselors or ad-
visers for assistance in educational planning and self-development.
Assessment of abilities and interests are available through the counseling or development center to help students make important educational and
vocational decisions.
STUDENT SUPPORT
SERVICES
Child Care Centers
To enable parents of small children
to attend college, Longview, Maple
Woods, Penn Valley, and the Independence Campus maintain child care centers. An educational program is provided for children between the ages of
two and a half and five. Day and night
care is available.
Each full-time member of the staff
of the child care centers has received
professional training in early childhood education. Further information
is available from these centers:
Longview, telephone (816) 672-2140;
Maple Woods, (816) 468-8780; Penn
Valley, (816) 759-4140; and Independence Campus, (816) 655-6111.
For information about the early childhood educational program, which is part
of the Child Growth and Development
Program at Penn Valley, telephone (816)
759-4256.
College Bookstores
The college bookstores are owned
and operated by the Metropolitan Community College District according to
policies established by the administration and approved by the chancellor and
the board of trustees.
Textbook adoptions are proposed by
the faculty, reviewed by the division
chairpersons, and approved by the college dean of instructional services. Book
prices are set by the publishers, and
MCC bookstores, like all college bookstores, have a standard markup over the
cost of the book. For textbooks the bookstores apply a markup of 25 percent.
Publishers of many trade books print the
prices on the covers. These include a
markup of 35 to 40%.
At the end of each semester or term,
the bookstores buy back from the students a sufficient number of books which
will be used the following term to meet
26
the anticipated demand. The established
price which the bookstores pay for textbooks is up to 50 percent of the current
new book price.
College Libraries
To support their educational programs
and to provide their students and staff
reading for information and leisure, the
Metropolitan Community Colleges
maintain extensive collections of books.
In 1995, the library collections contained
the following numbers of volumes:
Longview 43,836; Maple Woods 27,740;
Penn Valley 73,602; and Blue Springs
5,615. These collections are augmented
by microfilm, records, audio and video
tapes, slides, films, and filmstrips.
Librarians of the District utilize the
Kansas City Metropolitan Library Network (KCMLN) to secure items not available in the collections of the Metropolitan Community Colleges. Traditional
interlibrary loans are still available for
items not secured through the KCMLN.
District students have access to each of the
four libraries—Blue Springs, Longview,
Maple Woods, and Penn Valley.
Library borrowing privileges are similar on all campuses and are designed to
provide materials to the user in the most
fair and expeditious manner possible.
The four MCC libraries belong to the

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
Each college—Longview, Maple
Woods, and Penn Valley—has an alumni
club affiliated with the FoundationAlumni Association of the Metropolitan
Community Colleges. Through these
clubs, graduates and former students can
maintain a link with their alma mater.
The goal of each club is to provide
meaningful programs and activities and
28
through them to strengthen the community appreciation of the Metropolitan
Community College District as an institution providing lifelong learning.
Since the institution was founded in
1915, approximately 600,000 students
have taken classes at one or more of its
campuses. With the support of these
alumni, the clubs develop such programs
as career seminars, networking opportunities, and social events.
The alumni clubs charge no dues, and
all former students are invited to participate in the sponsored activities. Alumni
are also encouraged to contribute to the
annual campaign. Funds contributed allow the alumni association to support
scholarships, college libraries, visiting
artists, and faculty awards. For further
information call the MCC Alumni Association (816) 759-1199.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Transfer Degree Programs
associate in science all include a component of general education
courses. The associate in computer science, associate in engineering and associate in science include an area of specialization. In
addition to the courses in general education and in the area of
specialization, students must complete sufficient electives to
bring the total credits to the number required for the degree. Only
courses numbering 100 or higher can be applied for credit toward
degrees. Students transferring credits from accredited colleges to
MCC are encouraged to meet with an advisor or counselor.
For the associate in arts degree, there are at least 62 credits
required. General education requirements total 42-47 credits,
with sufficient credits in general or restricted electives to complete the degree. Students who are intending to obtain bachelor's
degrees in certain fields such as education or nursing are sometimes required to take very specific coursework and should meet
with an advisor or counselor to ensure the proper selection of
courses.
DEGREES
The Metropolitan Community Colleges confer four transfer
degrees:
Associate in Arts
Associate in Computer Science
Associate in Engineering
Associate in Science
These transfer degree programs will be described on the
following pages.
Note: Requirements vary for different majors and/or transfer
institutions. In certain cases, completion of an associate's degree
fulfills the equivalent of the first two years of a bachelor's degree,
while in other cases, completion of an associate's degree may not
be necessary for transfer. Therefore, it is very important for
students to meet with an advisor or counselor early to ensure
proper selection of classes. Students are also advised to determine as soon as possible which college or university they will
attend to complete the bachelor's degree as well as their major
area of study.
State Requirement
Missouri state law mandates that graduates must have had a
course which covers the Federal and Missouri Constitutions as
well as American History and Institutions. Students transferring
credits from out of state should check with the counseling or
development center to determine how best to meet this requirement.

PACE (Program for Adult College Education) is designed
for working adults who want to attend college and complete a
degree. PACE differs from traditional programs by offering
both interdisciplinary and traditional courses in a unique delivery system which involves scheduling classes so that they are
more convenient for working adults.
Students are encouraged to enroll in a block of three courses
each semester. The first class meets four weekends per semester. Instruction for the second course is provided partly by
videotape. The third class meets one night per week. Weeknight
classes are available in a number of convenient locations. In
addition to those at Longview, some are in Kansas City—St.
Luke’s Hospital, Penn Valley Community College, and in the
Northland. There are also classes at Blue Springs, Lee's Summit, Butler, Grandview, Harrisonville, Independence, and
Raytown, as well as in participating businesses and on
cablevision. Since most courses carry four hours’ credit, students are able to earn up to twelve hours each semester and
should be able to complete the 62 hours required for the
Associate in Arts degree in approximately five semesters.

fourth years of the PACE curriculum in the same format. The
university will apply the 62 hours earned at Longview toward
the 120 hours required for the bachelor’s degree in liberal arts.

BUSINESS TRANSFER STUDENTS
Most four-year colleges and universities desire that students
who are seeking a degree in business or accounting complete
their general education requirements in the freshman and sophomore years in college. The student then applies for entrance into
the Business School and enrolls in the majority of the business
classes at the four-year college or university.
If students desire to take the equivalent of their freshman and
sophomore years of college at Longview, Maple Woods, or Penn
Valley (the Metropolitan Community Colleges of Kansas City)
the student may enroll in business courses which will satisfy the
required classes at the particular four-year college or university
the student plans on attending. Each individual four-year college
or university will accept different business classes from MCC, so
it is in the students' best interest to decide as soon as possible
which four-year college or university they plan on transferring
their course work to so they may maximize their time and money
by enrolling in those specified courses. The student may obtain a
copy of the transfer guides to four-year schools by making an
appointment with the Development Center.
Most four-year colleges and universities request the students
to complete Accounting I, Accounting II, Macroeconomics (Economics I), Microeconomics (Economics II), Business Letters &
Reports, and a course in business law, either Business Law I or
Legal, Ethical, and Regulatory Environment of Business, during
their freshman and sophomore years. Other business courses may
be taken at MCC colleges, but the student should refer to the
transfer guide available in the counseling or development center.
Students are encouraged to consult with an advisor, counselor or the transfer institution to determine the exact course
requirements.
Humanities (9-11 credits)
The student must complete one 3- 5 credit-hour course in each of
any three different areas listed below. One of the courses must be
in literature or philosophy.

TRANSFER FASHION DESIGN & MERCHANDISING
The preprofessional program leading to the Associate in Arts
degree in Fashion Design and Fashion Merchandising is intended
to prepare students to transfer to a four-year college or university.
The student can complete the general requirements of the freshman and sophomore years in college and enroll in fashion courses
that satisfy the required classes at the four-year college or university the student plans on attending. It is in students' best interests
to decide as soon as possible which four-year college or university they will attend so they can make the best use of their time and
money. Students are strongly urged to meet with an adviser,
counselor or with the transfer institution to ensure proper selection
of courses. The Fashion Merchandising and Design emphasis has
been approved by Central Missouri State University and Columbia
College as meeting the requirements for the first two years.
TRANSFER NURSING
In addition to the Associate in Applied Science degree in
Nursing offered by Penn Valley, three of the colleges, each MCC
college offers courses which prepare a student to transfer to
baccalaureate degree programs like those at Avila College, St.
Luke’s Hospital School of Nursing, Graceland, or other colleges.
However, it is imperative that students contact the institution to
which they plan to transfer, determine what courses may be taken
at the community college, and apply for admission to the nursing
school.
If students select their courses carefully, they can normally
transfer four semesters to the baccalaureate program. However,
students are discouraged from the beginning course work until an
application has been acted upon by the director of nursing and a
program of courses has been planned with a nursing school
adviser. Further information about transfer courses for nursing
students is available from an advisor or counselor.
To qualify to sit for the professional nurse licensing examination, a person must make a minimum grade of C in all nursing and
science courses. Furthermore, every potential nursing student
should be aware that the Missouri State Board of Nursing may
refuse to issue a license to any person who has been found
guilty of violating federal or state laws and for any of 14
causes listed in Section 355.066 of the Missouri Revised
Statutes 1986. (Copies of this law are available from the
Missouri State Board of Nursing.)

Occupational Certificate and Degree Programs
REQUIREMENTS FOR
CERTIFICATES AND DEGREES
NOTE: The curricula listed in this section are not
intended to prepare students for transfer to a fouryear college or university. Persons interested in
working towards a bachelor's degree should consult the curricula listed under transfer degree programs, page 29.
Credentials
For each candidate for graduation there must be on file in the
admissions office the following documents: (1) a transcript of all
high school work or scores of performance on the General
Education Development Test (GED) and (2) transcripts of all
prior college work. Exception: if the student has successfully
completed 15 semester hours of work at an accredited college
other than those in the district, high school transcripts are not
required.
CERTIFICATES OF PROFICIENCY
In addition to the two-year associate degrees, the Metropolitan Community Colleges award Certificates of Proficiency to
those students who complete the programs in various occupational areas. While some certificates are offered at each college,
some are offered only at one of the MCC colleges. The chart on
page 42 summarizes where programs are offered. Any general
education requirement courses required for a certificate can
generally be taken at any of the colleges.
Scholarship
Each graduate must achieve a minimum grade point average
of 2.0 on a four-point grade scale.
Residence
Graduates must meet one of the following requirements: (1)
They must complete at least 15 semester hours’ credit at MCC
colleges and be enrolled during the academic year in which they
qualify for a degree. (2) They must complete a minimum of 56
credits from the Metropolitan Community Colleges if they are not
enrolled during the academic year in which they qualify for a
degree.
ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE
The Metropolitan Community Colleges confer the Associate
in Applied Science degree in various occupational areas. Some
of the associate in applied science degrees are offered at all the
MCC colleges, while some are offered at certain locations. The
chart on page 42 summarizes where each program is offered.
Total Credits
Graduates must successfully complete at least 62 credit hours
for associate in applied science degrees, although some require
more. There are varying numbers of credit hours required for
certificates of proficiency. These programs are grouped into five
areas: allied health, technical, human service, art, and business.
The chart on page 43 describes which programs fall into each
area. Each degree program consists of a core of general education
requirements and specialized education requirements. Some programs require general education electives or restrictive electives
to bring total credits to the number required for the degree. Only
courses numbering 100 or higher can be applied for credit toward
certificates and degrees. Students transferring credits from accredited colleges to MCC are encouraged to meet with an advisor
or counselor. Specific requirements for each program are described on pages 44-77.
State Requirement
Missouri state law mandates that graduates must have had a
course which covers the Federal and Missouri Constitutions as
well as American History and Institutions. Students transferring
credits from out of state should check with the counseling or
development center to determine how best to meet this requirement.
Application for a Degree
In order to graduate, students who expect to meet the requirements listed above must file with the admissions office an
application for the certificate or degree at least three months
before they complete the requirements for that certificate or
degree. A graduation fee will be assessed at the time of application.
41
OCCUPATIONAL PROGRAMS
Some advanced program courses are offered at only one location to avoid duplication and to provide a
comprehensive education program at a reasonable cost.

CONTINUING EDUCATION
Business, Industry, Agency (BIA) Programs
Another educational enterprise which is important to the
mission of the Metropolitan Community Colleges is providing
training and retraining for the employees of area firms. Longview,
Maple Woods, and Penn Valley all have BIA programs and can
respond quickly to the needs of particular organizations in a costeffective manner. The colleges can offer courses which give
credit, Continuing Education Units, or no credit. Classes can be
offered at the company site or on campus. The colleges can
provide a single course, a short seminar, or an organized program
of classes, seminars, or workshops. Instructors and consultants
who provide such training are professionals who are active in
their fields and who are skilled at sharing their knowledge with
adult students of all ranges of abilities.
The Metropolitan Community Colleges are prepared to meet
virtually any educational or training need of business and industry. The colleges have offered courses and seminars in such
business subjects as accounting, business management, letters
and reports, public relations, and supervision. They have taught
many subjects related to computers such as computer languages,
computer literacy, systems design, and software use (Lotus 1-23). They have offered high tech subjects such as robotics applications. At AT&T, they have been involved in wafer preparation,
chip production, and clean room operation. For the General
Motors Assembly Division at Fairfax they have provided a
machine tool module for the apprenticeship program and are
designing hydraulics instruction which will be given in six-week
segments, eight hours a day and forty hours per week.
In the last two years, the Metropolitan Community Colleges
have provided instruction for employees of hundreds of organizations. Firms and agencies representative of the various kinds
served are listed below.
Community Education
In addition to providing the first two years of college work and
offering occupational programs to prepare students for immediate employment, the Metropolitan Community Colleges offer
general informational courses for adults of the community and
classes to help them upgrade their occupational skills or to retrain
for another career.
Each semester the colleges schedule a number of community
education courses. These are not offered for college credit, and
student work is not graded. These courses, which are selfsupporting, are open to all adults of the community and to
younger persons who can benefit from the experiences provided.
Certificates
Upon request Certificates of Completion are available to
students who have met the minimum attendance requirements.
Continuing Education Units (CEU)
Continuing Education Units are awarded to adults enrolled in
selected noncredit courses. CEUs are recorded, and transcripts
are made available through the National Registry of Continuing
Education.
Courses
During recent years courses of the following kinds have been
offered:
Communications—American Cablevision
Engineering—Black and Veatch, Burns and McDonnell
