Student Access, Support, and Completion

College Priorities

• Increase dual-credit enrollment through expanded opportunities and partnerships.
• Improve advising consistency and progress monitoring for all students by increasing access to documented educational plans, strengthening faculty and staff advising alignment around shared advising expectations, and developing milestone advising interventions (including holds) based on students’ progress toward program requirements. 
• Identify and partner with organizations and community leaders to better understand and support all students' needs.
• Continue developing strategies to address enrollment gaps, including among male students, through program expansion and targeted outreach and marketing.
• Expand collaborative referral networks with community and tribal partners to improve access and navigation of basic needs support for students.
• Continue efforts to promote accessibility in instruction and all aspects of college business to align with updated federal regulations.
• Advance student success, workforce relevance, and institutional effectiveness by intentionally integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into teaching, learning, student services, and operations—while upholding ethical standards, data privacy, and equitable access.
• Develop a comprehensive Student Services assessment plan.
• Implement a mitigation plan for students and former students at risk of defaulting on financial aid loans, including financial literacy education.
• Strengthen connections and ease of navigation between Canvas, ctcLink, and Navigate by leveraging existing communication channels.
• Continue exploring and preparing for the possibility of becoming an HSI (Hispanic Serving Institution).
• Develop strategies to increase counseling capacity for students.
