Workplan Goals for 2019-2020
3.a. Ensured counselors, program coordinators, department chairs, and deans could "monitor which program every student was in and how far along the student was toward completing the program requirements."
3.b. Ensured that students could easily see how far they have came and what they needed to do to complete their program.
3.c. Developed a plan/mechanism to ensure that counselors and students were alerted when students were at risk of falling off their program plans and had policies and supports in place to intervene in ways that helped students get back on track.
3.d. Developed a plan/mechanism to assist students who were unlikely to be accepted into limited-access programs, such as nursing or culinary arts, to redirect them to another more viable path to credentials and a career.
3.e. Ensured that students could take the courses they needed when they needed them, could plan their lives around school from one term to the next, and could complete their programs in as short a time as possible.
