- Propose strategies for educating students about policies and procedural changes related to Guided Pathways, including VIP-PASS, P.A.C.E.
- Determine the committee’s role in advancing P.A.C.E. and Guided Pathways
- Propose changes to first-time student orientations, included accessible options for online and distance students, to align with Guided Pathways
- Review and recommend any revisions to policies, procedures, plans or other relevant documents germane to the purpose of the Student Success Committee; assist drafting new policy and procedures, if needed.
In addition, the Student Success Committee has been asked by Drs. Michelle Woodhouse and Marilyn Hodge to assist with an initiative involving priority registration. The goal being to encourage students to be advised and register for the next semester during priority registration in the fall and spring. They would welcome input from the Student Success Committee, as this will be a college wide initiative, and will need “buy-in” and participation from faculty, staff and students in order to make this successful.
Meetings will take place the first Wednesday of each month at 3 p.m.
