THE CLACKAMAS
by Jane C. Wilcox
Staff Writer
A community college is much
more than a stepping stone to a
college or university; it is often an
opportunity to pick up where one
has left off. This is the idea behind
the Adult High School Diploma
Program here at Clackamas.
The program is designed to
help those people 16 years and
older earn an actual high school
diploma rather than a GED cer
tificate. The diploma is treated by
universities, employers and the
military as if it were a regular high
school diploma.
There are three options of
earning credits for the diploma
program. One option is to take
high school level courses until the
student has accumulated the pre
requisite 22 credit hours to gradu
ate.
The second option is to chose
a college course that can also
double as high school credit course
and earn dual credits as both a
Adult High School Diploma stu
dent and as a regular college stu
dent.
Lastly, credits can be earned
through life experience. A stu
dent must be able to produce docu
mentable proof of his/her experi
ences in life such as work, parent
ing classes, volunteer work, job-
related training, military experi
ence, self-improvement classes and
Red Cross training.
'This is what CCC
is about, "Evans
said, "a life-long
learning experience."
“People enroll in this pro
gram for many reasons,” accord
ing to Adult High School Diploma
Advisor Carol Evans. “For some
it is personal satisfaction; some
never had the chance to finish
high school for one reason or
another, some didn’t do well in a
traditional high school and some
are young mothers with babies
who want a better life for them
selves and their children.
" We have 150 students in the
program this term and they range
in age from 16 to 57 years old,"
Evans said.

With the winter season ap
proaching, the college has an
nounced the policy for school
closure in case of bad weather.
If the college should be closed
due to bad weather, a sign will be
posted at the two main entrances
of the college and the bus turn
around will also have a posted
closure sign.
Both television and radio
stations will broadcast the neces-
sary information concerning the
college’s closure. They will be in
formed of the closure prior to 7
a.m. for day classes and 3 p.m. for
evening classes.
The AM radio stations to lis
ten to for school closure informa
tion are 620 KGW, 750 KXL, 1080
KWJJ, 1190 KEX, 1330 KUPL,
1520 KFXX, 1550 KMJK. The
FM radio stations are 923 KGON,
95.5 KXL, 97.1 KISN, 98.5 KUPL,

to complete the program is $40
per high school credit class, but
for those who enroll in dual-credit
classes the cost is the same as for
any other Clackamas student.
At least a third of the stu
dents enrolled in the program also
take college level courses.'
The program classes are avail
able not only here on campus but
at the Tri-City Alternative Pro
gram sites also, one in Oregon
City and one in Clackamas.
Many families have taken the
courses together.
“A studen t will see the practi
cal applications and say,Hey, Mom,
you could do this.’ This term we
have a mother and son studying
together,” Evans said.
Students who would like more
information can contact Carol
Evans in the Barlow Learning
Center at extension 444.
“This is what CCC is about,”
Evans said, “a life-long learning
experience. Anyone who gradu
ates from CCCs Adult High School
Diploma Program is a success
because they’ve done something
that many of them never thought
they could.”
