Educational Master Plans are generally large enough in scope to be flexible. They are used in particular at the District Level to guide in facility and community planning. Please take this moment to reflect on your program’s larger term vision(s) and goals (6 years), and to incorporate them into Program Review under the section “The Difference We Hope to Make” as a separate paragraph or otherwise. The drafters of the Educational Master Plan will be mining Program Review for contributions to the plan, with a commitment to read what programs have submitted. IR has offered to work with programs to determine future market trends to be incorporated into this year’s program review in relation to long-term goals. Please contact Carolyn Arnold for support. We will have other avenues to communicate with the Educational Master Plan Consultants. This is simply one avenue. 1. Who We Are Limit your narrative to no more than one page. Describe your unit--your mission, vision, responsibilities and the goals of your area. How does your unit support other student services, administrative, and academic units? What impact do you have on student learning? Describe the number and types of staff in your office, both now and historically. The Admissions & Records establishes and maintains academic enrollment records of the college. We strive to provide accurate, responsive and respectful services to faculty, staff and students. We are committed to the development of staff, policies, procedures and technology to enhance students’ success. We promote open communication and mutual support that acknowledges the time and effort necessary to assure information integrity. Historically, A & R staff were as follows: • Admissions & Records Asst. II • Admissions & Records Asst. III • Health Admissions Specialist • Student Records Evaluator • Apprenticeship Attendance Assistant II = = = = = 4 Classified Professionals 1 Classified Professional 1 Classified Professional 3 Classified Professional 1 Classified Professional Admissions & Records was also able to hire hourlies to assist with coverage and processing. In 2011, due to budget constraints, Admissions & Records experienced staff reduction. From 2011 to present, A & R have the following staff: • Admissions & Records Asst. II = 3 Classified Professionals (down 1) • Admissions & Records Asst. III = 1 Classified Professional • Health Admissions Specialist = 1 Classified Professional • Student Records Evaluator = 3 Classified Professional • Apprenticeship Attendance Assistant II = 0 Classified Professional (down 1) 1 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 With the budget constraints & staff reductions in 2011, Admissions & Records staffing have decreased by 20%. Due to less staffing, evening or extended hours are no longer available. It also takes longer to process documents/paperwork. At this time, with staff reduction and no hourly hires, there are no back-ups for when someone is out sick or on vacation, resulting to an early office closure. 2 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 2. Where We Are Now Complete Appendix A (Budget History) and Appendix B (Student Learning Outcomes/Service Area Outcomes Inventory) prior to writing your narrative. Limit your narrative to no more than two pages. As you enter a new Program Review cycle, reflect on your achievements over the last few years. What did you want to accomplish? What are your Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) and Service Area Outcomes (SAOs), and what progress have you made toward achieving them? Describe how changes in resources provided to your office have impacted your achievements. What are you most proud of, and what do you want to continue to improve? Discuss important trends that will have a significant impact on your unit over the next three years. Those could include technology, facilities, equipment, student demand. What opportunities and challenges do your foresee in the next three years? It was one of our goals to have BDMS (Banner Data Management System) be implemented. This is an electronic access to documents linked with our SIS (Student Information System – Banner). This has been an on-going project and we have been working with ITS to get this implemented. There have been challenges we have faced. However, BDMS has been implemented since and is now fully functioning. One of our other goal was the implementation of Degree Works. But due to lack of staffing and funding, the process is currently at a stand-still. Providing intervention to students is more of a challenge – having experienced staff reduction in 2011. The response time takes longer. It is our hope to restore the two Classified Professional staff that Admissions & Records lost in 2011. With these positions in place, assistance will be provided to students, evening and extended hours will be available, and process will be streamlined. 3 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 3. The Difference We Hope to Make Review the Strategic Plan goal and key strategies at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/prbc/StrategicPlan/SPforPR.pdfprior to completing your narrative. Please complete Appendices E (New Initiatives) and F1-3 and 5-8 (Resource Requests) as relevant to your needs to further detail your narrative. Limit your narrative to three pages, and be very specific about what you hope to achieve, why, and how. • • • • What initiatives would you like to undertake to improve or strengthen your unit or to address demand for your services? What initiatives are underway in your area, or could you begin, that would support the achievement of our new Strategic Plan goal and strategies and/or improve student learning? Identify specific, measurable goals and the resources needed to achieve them. Over the next 6 years, what are your longer term vision(s) and goals? (Ed Master Plan) To strengthen Admissions & Records, I believe that restoring Classified Professional staff that we’ve lost during the staff reductions in 2011 would make a difference in the interventions and services we provide. There would be a better response time to inquiries. Admissions & Records can offer extended hours – such as some evening hours. The long term vision and goals for Admissions and Records are: • To restore the Classified Professional staff we lost – in order to provide better service and extended hours. • To be able to hire additional Classified Professional staff to cover extended hours and serve as a back up for staff that are out sick or on vacation. X YEAR TWO Note: Chabot is in the process of creating our next Educational Master Plan, to last six years. Educational Master Plans are generally large enough in scope to be flexible. They are used in particular at the District Level to guide in facility and community planning. Please take this moment to reflect on your program’s larger term vision(s) and goals (6 years), and to incorporate them into Program Review under the section “What Changes Do We Suggest” as a separate paragraph or otherwise.

IR has offered to work with programs to determine future market trends to be incorporated into this year’s program review in relation to long-term goals. Please contact Carolyn Arnold for support. We will have other avenues to communicate with the Educational Master Plan Consultants. This is simply one avenue. 4 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 A. What Progress Have We Made? Complete Appendices A (Budget History), B1 and B2 (CLO's), C (PLO's), and D (A few questions) prior to writing your narrative. You should alsoreview your most recent success, equity, course sequence, and enrollment data at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/ProgramReview/Data2014.asp In year one, you established goals and action plans for program improvement. This section asks you to reflect on the progress you have made toward those goals. This analysis will be used by the PRBC and Budget Committee to assess progress toward achievement of our Strategic Plan and to inform future budget decisions. It will also be used by the SLOAC and Basic Skills committees as input to their priority-setting process. In your narrative of two or less pages, address the following questions: • • • • • What were your year one Program Review goals? Did you achieve those goals? Specifically describe your progress on the goals you set for student learning, program learning, and Strategic Plan achievement. What are you most proud of? What challenges did you face that may have prevented achieving your goals? Cite relevant data in your narrative (e.g., efficiency, persistence, success, FT/PT faculty ratios, SAO/PLO assessment results, external accreditation demands, etc.). One of the goals that Admissions & Records had for Year One was to implement the Banner Data Management System (BDMS) and have it linked to our Student Information System (SIS). This goal was achieved by collaborating with Information Technology. Admissions and Records is currently using the BDMS to scan documents received – and integrate it with the student’s record. BDMS is not only accessible to other departments, it is also accessible to Las Positas College. LPC will be able to access student records from us, and Chabot will be able to access student records from LPC. This process saves time. We no longer have to call or email to ask LPC to send us a student’s record in the event that we need it. B. What Changes Do We Suggest? Review the Strategic Plan goal and key strategiesat http://www.chabotcollege.edu/prbc/StrategicPlan/SPforPR.pdfprior to completing your narrative. Please complete Appendices E (New Initiatives) and F1-8 (Resources Requested) to further detail your narrative. Limit your narrative to two pages, and be very specific about what you hope to achieve, why, and how. • • Given your experiences and student achievement results over the past year, what changes do you suggest to your course/program improvement plan? What new initiatives might you begin to support the achievement of our Strategic Plan goal? 5 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 • • • • Do you have new ideas to improve student success as supported by your area? What are your specific, measurable goals? How will you achieve them? Would any of these require collaboration with other disciplines or areas of the college? How will make that collaboration occur? Over the next 6 years, what are your longer term vision(s) and goals? (Ed Master Plan) Admissions & Records experienced staff reduction in 2011 and we seek to restore those lost position in order to function 100% and offer extended hours. In addition, Admissions & Records can no longer be funded by Student Success and Support Program (SSSP – formerly known as Matriculation). This is a huge impact. That is a total loss of $55,000 of operational budget. Chabot was able to find some budget to help in funding Admissions & Records for its operational budget. However, the funding is not enough to cover the needs of Admissions & Records. Admissions & Records have also experienced additional budget cuts since 2011 on top of the matriculation budget loss. In short, Admissions & Records have experienced severe cuts and barely have any operational budget to function properly. Without additional support and funding, Admissions & Records will not be able to provide services in a more expedient way. 6 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 Appendix A: Budget History and Impact Audience: Budget Committee, PRBC,and Administrators Purpose: This analysis describes your history of budget requests from the previous two years and the impacts of funds received and needs that were not met. This history of documented need can both support your narrative in Section A and provide additional information for Budget Committee recommendations. Instructions: Please provide the requested information, and fully explain the impact of the budget decisions. Category Classified Staffing (# of positions) Supplies & Services Technology/Equipment Other (Conference & Travel) TOTAL 2014-15 Budget Requested 4.5 FTE $4,494 0 $3,500 2014-15 Budget Received 0 $4,478 0 $1,850 2015-16 Budget Requested 5.0 FTE $11,500 0 $7,300 2015-16 Budget Received 1. How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved student learning? When you requested the funding, you provided a rationale. In this section, assess if the anticipated positive impacts you projected have, in fact, been realized. The funding Admissions & Records received (General Funds) – was just enough to cover staffing and benefits. Over the past three years, Admissions & Records’ budget has been cut each year. With the SSSP (formerly Matriculation) no longer able to fund Admissions & Records, it is much more of a strain not having enough operational budget. 2. What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has student learning been impacted, or safety compromised, or enrollment or retention negatively impacted? Lacking a few Classified Professional staff and hourlies to assist, it has impacted the level of service we provide to students, staff, faculty, administrators and the community. Processing time takes longer and there are hardly any evening hours we can offer to the public. When one of the staff is out sick or on vacation, there are no back-ups to help fill the gap. 7 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 Appendix B1: Student Learning Outcomes and/or Service Area Outcomes Assessment Reporting Schedule. Note: If your service area does not offer courses, skip the sections related to courses (B2, B3, and/or other sections related to courses) and instead complete the Service Area Outcome section below. Service Area Outcomes: Audience: Purpose: Instructions: SLO/SAO How Measured Results/Discussion SLO #1: SAO #1: System Data SAO #2: Provide more intervention and automated processes to support student success. Survey, student data Full implementation of the automated process of evaluation (Degree Works) On-going. Waiting on having a Classified Professional staff to complete the “scribing” of catalogs into the system. Once implemented, this will provide students much needed information on obtaining their Certificate, Degree, CSU GE Cert or IGETC. It will provide students a clear pathway into completion of their educational goal. On-going. Receive efficient response time / communication / intervention from Admissions & Records on student inquiries. Refer students to appropriate department, such as Counseling – that will guide them in achieving their educational goal. 8 Documentation (Where can assessments be found? Provide link if possible) 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 Appendix E: Proposal for New Initiatives (Complete for each new initiative) Audience: Deans/Unit Administrators, PRBC, Foundation, Grants Committee, College Budget Committee Purpose: A “New Initiative” is a new project or expansion of a current project that supports our Strategic Plan. The project will require the support of additional and/or outside funding. The information you provide will facilitate and focus the research and development process for finding both internal and external funding. How does your initiative address the college's Strategic Plan goal, or significantly improve student learning? Restore previous staffing would help provide evening or extended hours/services to students – therefore refining registration process. What is your specific goal and measurable outcome? Restore and re-establish a Classified Professional position that A & R lost during the staff reductions in 2011. Have additional staffing to address the requirements from new mandates, student, faculty, staff and administrators’ needs. What is your action plan to achieve your goal?

Number of positions requested: __7_ STAFFING REQUESTS (2000) CLASSIFIED PROFESSIONALS Position Degree Audit / Student Education Planning System Coordinator (1.0 FTE) Classified Professional Staff (2000) Description Program/Unit Justification: Admissions & Records This is a new position that will assist in planning, evaluation and implementation of the College’s Student Success and Support Program (SSSP) in areas related to Degree Audit/Student Education Planning (SEP) systems. The incumbent will also work collaboratively to develop systems to support efforts to increase degree and certificate completion; ensure priority enrollment systems to meet SSSP mandate requirements; and to provide continual training and workshops to end users and students on the use of the degree audit/student education planning systems. Additionally, the position will serve in 11 PLEASE LIST IN RANK ORDER Division/Area Student Services 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 a lead capacity in creating processes to ensure evaluations and incoming transcript course to course articulation methods are efficient and responsive to SSSP mandates for SEP development. Funding Source: Student Success and Support Program (SSSP) Is the work currently being done by other employees?: No. This position will be reporting to: Director of Admissions & Records Consequence of not funding position: SSSP mandate requires all students to have an abbreviated and comprehensive Student Educational Plan (SEP). Without the degree audit system in place, the college will struggle to fulfill this mandate due to lack of resources (e.g., Counselors, front end evaluations). Positive impact: Students & Counselors will be able to access SEPs online. Students will also be able to create their own “what if” scenarios allowing them to see how close they are to completing any 12 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 degree or certificate. This will likely increase certificate and degree completion. With the electronic SEP, we will be able to extrapolate data showing courses that students intend to enroll in future terms. This will assist with Enrollment Management. Transcript Evaluator (1.0 FTE) Justification: This is a new position for course placement to evaluate incoming transcripts from external institutions for course placement and pre-requisite clearance. This transcript analysis will also directly contribute to the development of a Student Education Plan by evaluating and identifying courses to be applied toward the education goal prior to scheduled counseling appointments. This will greatly increase the efficiency of the SEP planning/counseling processes for each SEP counseling appointments. Funding Source: Student Success and Support Program (SSSP) Is the work currently being done by other employees?: No. 13 Admissions & Records Student Services 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 This position will be reporting to: Director of Admissions & Records Consequence of not funding position: SSSP mandate requires all students to have an abbreviated and comprehensive Student Educational Plan (SEP). ). Without the transcript evaluator, the college will struggle to fulfill this mandate due to lack of resources (e.g., Counselors, front end evaluations). Positive impact: Front end evaluations will help with course placements and pre-requisite clearance. This evaluator will also directly contribute to the development of an SEP by identifying and evaluating courses to be applied towards their educational goal. Admissions & Records Asst. II (3.0 FTE) Justification: 1.0 FTE will be a restored position (staff reduction from 2011), and 2.0 FTE are new positions. These positions will assist A & R daily operations such as registration process, transcript process, verifications and petitions. These positions will also participate in all other admissions and records activities such as providing clerical 14 Admissions & Records Student Services 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 relief and support and working on extended/evening hours. Funding Source: General Funds Is the work currently being done by other employees?: There are other A & R Asst. II currently working in Admissions & Records. However, due to staff reduction in 2011, A & R lost one of it’s position then. Some of the work is being done by the current A & R Asst. II. However, because of the lack of staffing, the processing time takes a lot longer. A & R also cannot offer extended/evening hours at this time. This position will be reporting to: Director of Admissions & Records Consequence of not funding position: No evening hours will be offered to the community. Students attending during the evenings are not served. Processing time of documents also takes longer than it used to be. For example, verification used to take 2 business days. It now takes 5 business days to complete. Positive impact: 15 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 With these positions, A & R will be able to offer extended/evening hours. Processing documents will be processed in a timely manner. Apprenticeship Attendance Asst. II (1.0 FTE) Justification: This will be a restored position (staff reduction from 2011). This position will process apprenticeship data, reports and grades. This position will also assist students with the admission and registration process Funding Source: General Funding Is the work currently being done by other employees?: When A & R lost this position in 2011 due to staff reductions, the work was divided between several staff and departments. There’s no continuity and the cause for errors have increased. This position will be reporting to: Director of Admissions & Records Consequence of not funding position: If this position is not funded, there will be continued flaw in the process – with four different departments involved in processing data, etc. 16 Admissions & Records Student Services 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 Positive impact: With this position, there will be a smoother process in place for collection and processing of data. There will be one point person for Instructors and students. Admissions & Records Coordinator (1.0 FTE) Justification: This will be a new position that will assist in organizing, coordinating and overseeing the day to day program activities and operations of the college admissions and records office. Funding Source: General Funding Is the work currently being done by other employees?: No. This position will be reporting to: Director of Admissions & Records Consequence of not funding position: The Director of A & R is constantly at meetings and working on multiple projects. Without an A & R Coordinator, there’s no coordination, planning and organizing of daily admissions and registration activities, no troubleshooting of difficult and complex questions and situations. 17 Admissions & Records Student Services 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 Positive impact: Having an A & R Coordinator will ensure that any complex or difficult situations – from students, faculty, staff or administrators - will be addressed in the absence of the Director. This position will also coordinate, plan and organize daily admissions and registration activities. STAFFING REQUESTS (2000) STUDENT ASSISTANTS Postion Admissions & Records Student Assistant Student Assistants (2000) Description Program/Unit Assist in filing, scanning, answering phones, sorting mail. Admissions & Records PLEASE LIST IN RANK ORDER Division/Area Student Services 2. Rationale for your proposal. Re-establish and restore positions that Admissions & Records lost due to early retirement and lay-off in 2011. This position is important in assisting students with registration, verification, transcript requests and petitions. This would also assist us in being able to provide evening and/or extended hours. Additional Classified Professional requested to provide staff support, assist with extended hours, timely processing, and provide as back-ups when other staff are out sick or on vacation. 18 1516 Program Review – Admissions & Records – Year 2 3. Statements about the alignment with the strategic plan and program review are required. Indicate here any information from advisory committees or outside accreditation reviews that is pertinent to the proposal. Concerns have been raised regarding Admissions & Records being unable to provide extended hours – such as evening hours – to serve students that are attending evening classes. Another issue that was raised is the timely processing of documents. For example, verification now takes approximately five business days to complete. In the past, it only took two business days.Transcripts also takes longer to process – over ten business days. Phones and email inquiries may take days before a response is sent to students. These are just minor examples as to how a lack of staff support impacts operations in Admissions & Records. 19 1516 Program Review – Veterans Services – Year 2 Appendix F5: Supplies & Services Requests [Acct.
