Betsy Patterson Bonaparte, “Duchess of Baltimore” Long before Baltimore’s Wallace Warfield Simpson married into British royalty, Betsy Patterson entered the imperial family of Napoleon Bonaparte by marrying his youngest brother, Jerome. Alas, it was not to be a lengthy marriage since Napoleon rejected the match and eventually convinced his brother to seek a new wife elsewhere.

Betsy spent a lifetime seeking a throne for her son and entrance into European society for herself. Sadly, she spent far too many years alone in Baltimore, a city she professed to hate. Along the way, she shocked proper Americans with the risqué dress and became a fast friend to Dolly Madison.

The College’s out-of-county and out-of-state residency surcharge is waived for courses meeting eligibility for a Maryland National Guard waiver, but the student is responsible for all other material fees.

Maryland National Guard Dependents Dependent spouses and children of a member of the Maryland National Guard and Maryland Air Guard may request a course fee and material fee waiver when a Guard member is called to active duty for a minimum period of six continuous months of service. Eligibility for the waiver for a given semester will be determined by the military status of the Guard member as of the date of the start of a regular fall or spring semester or the start of the first summer session. Eligible students must provide a copy of the spouse’s/parent’s military orders to active duty, along with the dependent military identification card.

Out-of-county residents (except senior adults, disabled retired students, and students receiving a Maryland National Guard member tuition waiver) pay a $20 surcharge per course for each Continuing Education course that charges course fees. If you were an outof-county resident at the time of your last registration and have since moved in-county, you must complete a Student Statement of Domicile for Tuition Purposes form and provide two forms of identification in order to have the $20 surcharge waived when registering.

HCC will still need a Social Security number for certain mandated business functions; however, it will be used on a limited basis and kept in a secure environment.

Because students will need to use the H-ID for College business transactions, students are required to know and remember their H-ID.

Failure to pay at the time of registration will incur a debt to the College that

PAYMENT must be paid whether or not you attend the class. To avoid receiving a bill, please call 443-412-2376 before the class begins in order to process a drop.
