Although helmets (DOT certified), gloves, and eyewear are provided, for your best comfort and fit, you should consider bringing these items with you, if you have them, for the range part of the course.

Student Stand-by Process at Harford Community College: If a class is closed because of maximum enrollment, students may choose to participate in the stand-by process. Sometimes a few pre-registered students do not show up for their course and their open spaces are available for stand-by students. To become a stand-by student, report to the class about 30 minutes prior to the scheduled starting time of the course and put your name in for a drawing. If space is available, the stand-bys will be randomly selected. You must pay for and attend the class at that time.

He could be both pragmatic and dogmatic in his personal dealings, his life in the military, and his terms as president. This lecture will cover the many events in Jackson’s life and try to locate those core values that explain who he truly was. In his life, he brushed up against many famous people from John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay to Peggy Eaton and Sam Houston, yet he towered above them all. Course: 45390

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. Course: 45391

Louisa Catherine Adams America’s only foreign-born first lady, Louisa Catherine Adams, faced many challenges as she grew into a confident, nineteenthcentury feminist. She saw her son kidnapped in New York and chased down the kidnapper through dangerous streets. She traveled from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Paris in the dead of winter, through a landscape riddled with the battlefields of Napoleonic Europe. Yet perhaps her greatest challenges were her husband, John Quincy Adams, and her famous mother-in-law, Abigail Adams. Course: 45393

REGISTRATION RESTRICTIONS
1. Enrollment in Continuing Education courses is limited to those 16 and older, except for courses that specify they are open to those under 16. 2. Non-citizens must provide original documentation (most current resident card, work card, or visa) to register. Students must register in person at the Continuing Education Registration Office in Edgewood Hall. Please note: Non-citizens who have never taken a credit or noncredit class at HCC must go to the Credit Registration Office in the Student Center the first time they register. 3.

CURRENT MAILING ADDRESS
Students are responsible for maintaining a current mailing address with the College. All address changes should be reported to the Continuing Education and Training Office. If a student owes a debt to the College and does not maintain a current mailing address, that debt will be sent to a collection agency without further notice to the student. In this event, the student will owe an additional collection fee.
PAYMENT
Payment for all Continuing Education courses is due at the time of registration. Failure to pay will incur a debt to the College that 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.
RESIDENCY SURCHARGE
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.
