Rationale*
Currently, 13% of our student
population is online. Another 19%
are evening students. Developing an
online counseling system would
allow us to meet the needs of these
students, providing them with an
avenue to access counseling services
from which they currently are
excluded. This ties in with Strategic
Plan Strategies 3, 4, 5, and 6, as it
not only streamlines services for
these students, but also helps them
access services that help them
define their goals, get on their
pathways earlier, and learn how to
monitor their progress.
* Rationale should include discussion of impact on student learning, connection to our strategic plan
goal, impact on student enrollment, safety improvements, whether the equipment is new or
replacement, potential ongoing cost savings that the equipment may provide, ongoing costs of
equipment maintenance, associated training costs, and any other relevant information that you believe
the Budget Committee should consider.
