Mt. Hood Community College

I had a very disappointing experience trying to enroll in the EMT program at Mt. Hood Community College. I had previously been enrolled in this program and expected the re-enrollment process to be straightforward, but it was anything but. No one I spoke with could answer basic questions about the course. Multiple staff members told me they didn’t have the information I needed and couldn’t direct me to someone who did. I was eventually told to schedule an advising appointment, which required waiting a week, only to be given an email address for another contact. That contact sent me a link to an external registration site but provided no actual information about the course itself, including the class schedule. After completing all required steps—including doctor visits, obtaining a new CPR certification (my existing one was not accepted), and paying $170 for a background check—I was finally accepted into the program. Only after gaining access to the course site did I learn that the class meets in the middle of the workday, making it impossible for me to attend. This information could and should have been communicated upfront. Due to poor communication and lack of transparency, I’ve lost significant time, money, and work hours and cannot even participate in the course. Overall, the enrollment process felt disorganized and frustrating, which was extremely disappointing for a program of this nature.

I cannot say enough good things about this school. From the teachers to all of the wonderful people who work in the financial aid offices and front offices. They have supported me so much through so many trials and hardships throughout my time at MHCC. Could not have done it without them. 🙏🏼❤️

The one and only place for a Funeral Service Education program in the state of Oregon. The 2 years I spent studying here gave me lifelong connections, and knowledge I'll use to help guide families in their time of need during my career. I'd highly recommend going here if you're looking for a quality education in the Portland/Gresham/Vancouver area. Go Saints!

Absolutely beautiful campus. I go on walks here every morning❤️

I went here in 2012-2014, what feels like a lifetime ago. At the time I wish it were more friendly and open to proving first gen student and providing information. I received my AAOS from their Integrated Media in Graphic Design program. What I wish they would of provided was more -insight of how life after college (even community college) looked like. -how to transfer to PSU because no one explained anything, especially into the PSU GD program. -how to get an internship because another thing they did not explain is why your projects / real world experience is needed and the 'best' time to obtain that experience is during your time in school -i wish instructors were more informative and proactive with their students in providing them the guidance of building your portfolio / portfolio show and really having a design event (at the time wish they would of aligned with the universities as they do now / or even have student go to at the time Design Week Portland... but now (OSU and U of O) or Emerging Leaders. At the time, though smart phones were barely on the surface, information was scarce. You had to be so proactive to find the information you needed to succeed. Looking back at this time, it was a good experience but could of been so much better if people were upfront and helpful on guiding their cc students to success.

It was good watching my cousin play!

I've never had a negative experience with MHCC. Even if you can't reach them by phone they will reply back to emails within the same day or the next. They even expedited my graduation application after 7+ years. I highly recommend this college!
