 Changes are currently being implemented to CurricUNET which will address some SLO input issues
Student Service programs are having. The changes haven’t been tested yet but a series of attempts training staff recently have led to frustration with missing icons and the inability to create and update SLOs in CurricUNET. The hope is that these setbacks will not keep programs from continuing to implement and assess their SLOs.

Accreditation Self-Study
o Follow up report will be finalized today. In 2008, we received 8 recommendations to respond to; this time it's five. Three from the Accreditation team will visit on November 13 th , including the lead, Dr. Murillo, who also visited in 2008. Other two members are Sharon Lowry from AVC and
Kevin Fleming from Norco. They will be here for one day to review evidence of planning, budgeting, and SLOs. o Co-chairs for the 2014 self-study have been assigned. There will be a total of 11 committees.
Now called a self-evaluation, committees will review our evidence against accreditation standards. Management, faculty, classified staff and students will be recruited for all committees. Co-chairs will write up self-evaluation early spring and summer and edit to make sure the document reads as one voice. Finished product needs to be completed by August 2014.
New change: no hard copies of documents; all info will be given to team on flash drives. o Accreditation standards include: College mission and institutional effectiveness; academic programs (largest standard), student services programs, library and learning resources; human and physical resources; governance and board relations. Co-chairs will schedule committee meetings. Self-evaluation will include narrative plus evidence that what we do meets the

Enrollment Services Division Council Newsletter Page 3 standard. Planning agenda items will show how we will improve. The College must meet standards and eligibility requirements, and address policy issues. o ACCJC is focusing on Distance Education v. Correspondence Education. When faculty is not interactive with student, then it is a correspondence education course and student will not be eligible for financial aid - ECC would have to pay back money.
