Student Equity Annual Plan 2015-16
Student Equity Plan identifies actions to improve district success outcomes, particularly for students who
have been historically underrepresented and underserved. The Student Equity Plan has been created based
on the planning actions in the Strategic and Education Master Plans, coordinated to align student outcomes
and actions in the district’s Student Success and Support Program Plan (SSSP) as well as the Basic Skills Plan.
These actions are then integrated into the College’s Annual Plan. This alignment of goals ensures that the
district has identified strategies to monitor and address equity issues, makes efforts to mitigate any
disproportionate impact on student access and achievement, and efficiently allocates college resources in
budgeting and planning.
Goal A - Student Success Indicator for Access
Increase enrollment of underrepresented students, specifically Hispanic students by creating a welcoming
campus where all students in the community feel welcomed, supported, included and valued by the College
and each other. This goal will be addressed through additional communication with, and offerings for
disproportionately impacted student groups.
Goal B – Student Success Indicator for Course Success and Completion
Increase the percentage of first-time, full-time students who return one semester later to take at least one
class and increase the percentage of degree seeking students who attend for three consecutive semesters,
especially African Americans.
Goal C – Student Success Indicator for ESL and Basic Skills Completion and Progression
Increase the number of all students, especially African American, Native American, Hispanic, over 50 years
old students, and Foster Youth who complete a college level course.
Goal D – Student Success Indicator for Degree and Certificate Completion
Increase the percentage of students who complete a degree, certificate or transfer compared to the number
of degree, certificate and transfer completions for equity and other student populations.
Goal E – Student Success Indicator for Transfer
Implement initiatives which continue to address disproportionate impact of the rates of college transfer.
