Los Angeles Harbor College Student Services Cluster Plan Academic Year(s): 2014 – 2015 Cluster Co-Chairs: Abbie Patterson and Elena Reigadas Executive Summary Los Angeles Harbor College offers a comprehensive program of student services that assists students who are enrolled in credit and non-credit courses. Student Services departments include: Admissions and Records; Student Success and Support Program (SSSP); Cal Works/GAIN Program, Child Development Center; Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) Program/Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education Program (CARE); Counseling (Including Information Center, Career Center and Transfer Center); Financial Aid/Veterans Office; Health Center; Intercollegiate Athletics; International Student Program; Life Skills Center (College Health Center: Mental Health Component); Student Recruitment and Welcome Center; Student Activities and the Associated Students Organization (ASO); and Special Programs and Services ( SPS - Disabled Student Programs and Services) and the TRIO Program – Project A.S.A.P.. All of the student service programs at Harbor College focus on responding to the educational needs of students and strive to optimize the student learning experience. The primary Student Services goal is to provide a positive and respectful environment that fosters educational and personal achievement. Key strategies include: (1) Promote awareness of and response to student needs, (2) Provide students with opportunities to develop informed decisions toward the achievement of their goals, and (3) Develop and support teaching/learning strategies and student services that promote student success. The ongoing Student Services self-study/program review/unit plan processes have identified many priority concerns. The top concern is the severe lack of general fund fiscal resources to deliver the quality and quantity of services that our students deserve. Our mission is to support student success through educational service provision to a diverse group of learners representing various socioeconomic levels, cultural backgrounds, ages, and educational preparation. The full attainment of this mission will only be possible when the funding for viable programs meets the depth of student need. Currently the bulk of annual funding which supports student success is from Categorical and Specially Funded Grant Programs with limited general funding support. Priority concerns include student access to the college, Implementation of SB1456 Student Success Act requirements and the provision of expanded and new student services which fully support student learning, measurable progress and overall student success. Also, facilities and new/updated equipment need to be expanded to accommodate the demand of mandated services. The Student Success & Support Program (SSSP), formerly Matriculation, was created by the SB1456 Student Success Act of 2012 to assist students in setting and maintaining progress towards and educational goal. The focus of SSSP is to ensure that all students complete their college courses, persist to the next academic term and achieve their educational objectives by providing comprehensive support services which include admissions, orientation, assessment, counseling/Student Educational Plans (SEPs) and follow up to at risk students. The implementation of this act has caused a re-examination and reconfiguration of the college’s matriculation services. Work has begun to align services with the 1 mandates of this new law. Additional program faculty and staff will need to be hired to fulfill the mandates of SSSP, which include recruitment, admissions, orientation/assessment, counseling, research and implementation of the new Harbor Advantage. In addition to new student priority enrollment, Harbor Advantage will guarantee an English, math, student success and major/general education courses to students who complete the three components of SSSP by the designated deadline. All of the student services programs/offices both online and in person are facing major changes to the way they serve students, the amount of services provided and implementation of a new district wide Student Information System (SIS) during the 14/15 academic year. Admissions & Records is implementing a new document management program, E-transcripts to partnering colleges and universities, online adding of classes system, exclusion rosters and grade submission, expansion of services related to the new common application (Open CCCapply) and new student information system. Recruitment and onsite services to feeder high schools (i.e. orientations and assessments) will need to be expanded. Counselors will now be required to scale up providing abbreviated and comprehensive SEPS for new and continuing students. They will need to increase group and one on one counseling appointments and drop in services. The Financial Aid office and all categorical programs will need to expand services to insure that the components of SSSP are implemented and provide follow up strategies and monitoring to increase student retention and persistence. With the passage of the SB1456 a new methodology for ensuring student achievement of educational and career goals has been defined. Financial Aid, EOP&S/CARE, CalWORKs, the Veterans Center, and Special Programs and Services (SPS) will need to comply with the components of SSSP, in addition to mandated changes to their programs. If the college decides to increase international programs, they will also have to meet all mandates. As support services are revised, expanded, assessed and evaluated to improve student access and success, it is being reinforced by data and student input that their success is also improved by feeling a part of, connected to and wanted at Harbor. Students are becoming increasingly more involved in student government and participatory governance, athletics, clubs and use of the Student Health Center and Life Skills Center. Increased staffing and resources for these areas is needed to meet the student demand, and provide quality activities and services. Assessment of Program Review Student Services has fully implemented the program review process and all program reviews are currently up to date. Highlights from this cluster programs are: The Admissions and Records Office was unable to fill positions vacated due to retirement and resignations. As a result, new computer technology was implemented to compensate for lack of staffing and to maintain a satisfactory level of services to students, faculty, the college community and external entities. Athletics uses a method of instructional teaching that encourages teamwork, courage, and discipline. The department maintains compliance with the South Coast Conference, National Central Conference and California Community College constitution and bylaws relating to student eligibility. The program strives to be an integral part of the community, by offering sports conducive to the populations we serve and providing leadership in education and cultural affairs. 2 The Child Development Center has maintained stable enrollment during difficult times, caused by reduction of state grant funding and campus monetary support. A major goal of a permanent building was achieved, which was built with planned expansion of students served. The budget crisis severely limited resources for grow. They continue to serve as a classroom laboratory for several departments including Child Development, Math, English, Psychology and Nursing. The Counseling Division scaled up face to face orientation, abbreviated and comprehensive SEPs, increased the amount of counseling appointments and drop in services. The Transfer and Career Centers are offering additional workshops and counseling appointments so that students can explore majors, develop educational plans and evaluate their transcripts to assess transfer eligibility. The transfer admissions rate has increased by 5%. The Financial Aid Office has packaged 3% more students than 2012-13 by hiring a new Financial Aid Technician and transitioned to solely using the college supplied email address to encourage students to complete the financial aid application process and receive information/updates primarily online. The Veterans Center now has a Counseling Intern for 20 hours a week funded by the South Bay Center for Counseling. The Veterans Club is thriving and outreach to the community continues. Services to former Foster Youth has increased using positions provided through a Financial Literacy Grant. The International Student Office continues to meet the needs of international students by providing prospective students information on the college website and through marketing efforts, clearing them for admission based on college and U.S. Government regulations, providing them with appropriate documentation for entry into the U.S., orienting them to the college’s academic programs and to college life and proactively ensuring that students maintain academic eligibility with the college while maintaining their international student status with the Department of Homeland Security. The Student Activities Office is making progress on providing services and activities for the student body through increasing the number of ASO Senators, ASO events, attendance at shared governance meetings, participations/knowledge/understanding of the college decision making process, new clubs, club member participation, and club events. The Recruitment Office coordinates most of the College’s outreach activities, including high school visits, tours, college and career fairs, workshops and other activities requested by community agencies. When the Welcome Center was opened students were able to receive assistance with applying to college and for financial aid and attend small group workshops on attending college. Although the CalWORKs program is faced with funding shortage, staffing challenges and shrinking resources, the program has continued to utilize emerging technology, streamline/leverage resources with other programs, collaborate with the office of Economic and Workforce Development to identify grant funding opportunities and train faculty/staff of other program/service areas about their services. As a result of reduced state funding, EOP&S/CARE has over the course of the last four years streamlined program operations, serving less students and reducing or eliminating services such as tutoring, peer advising, book awards, hourly counseling and other direct services. With the passage of the Student Success Act they are focusing on meeting mandated services that include orientation, assessment, educational goal setting, developing comprehensive Student Educational Plans and providing follow up 3 services designed to make goals obtainable. CARE, a supplemental program of EOP&S to help welfare recipients with young children, primarily focuses on basic skills, career technical education and transfer alignment continues to provide reduced grants to students to provide child care, transportation, book/supply purchases and other critical needs of this population. The International Student office continues to meet the needs of international students in terms of providing information for prospective students on the web and through marketing, clearing them for admission based on college and U.S. Government regulations, providing them with appropriate documentation for entry, orienting them to academic programs, services and college life in the U.S. and proactively taking efforts to ensure that students maintain academic eligibility while maintain their international status with the Department of Homeland Security. Special Programs and Services (SPS) has streamlined testing accommodation services and increased the number of students served by operating a new secure e-mail box for more efficient delivery of exams to the SPS office and hired supplemental staff to meet the increasing need for essential services. Student Health Center continues to contribute to the educational aims and matriculation of students by promoting their physical and emotional wellbeing. The Center provides treatment for common medical problems and diseases, preventive care including immunizations and TB tests, first aid, health counseling, lab tests, physical exams, screenings and referrals. Student Success and Support Services, formally Matriculation, is implementing new mandates that focus on providing services to ensure that all students complete their college courses, persist to the next academic term and achieve their educational objectives. They are providing comprehensive support services which include orientation, assessment, counseling leading to Student Educational Plans (SEPs) and student follow up. Activities to Address Program Needs Student Services included in their Unit Plans a variety of activities that will lead the cluster in achieving the mission of fostering learning, meeting the educational and support services of the community and addressing program needs, including: The Admissions office implemented the following activities using new computer technology to compensate for the lack of staffing and maintain satisfactory level of services, a document management program was installed on all computer stations, e-transcript to transmit transcript data, implemented the district wide online exclusion roster and grad submission, and expanded services related to the Common Application to improve services for students. Athletics activities included providing equal opportunity to all members of the college community to ensure Gender Equity, provided yearly exams on CCCAA By Laws, and ensured that equipment and facilities are safe, increased and improved marketing efforts and transfer of athletes and fundraising events to cover all the expenses not covered by the college needed for all the sports offered. The Child Development Center had all enrolled student parents complete two different surveys to address parent satisfaction, provide information about additional services the students would like to see and any suggestions they may have for program improvement. 4 The Counseling Department implemented the R.I.S.E. Academic and Progress Probation Program. Last year the Retention Counselor selected and monitored 150 students on probation, provided additional career exploration workshops and career assessment testing sessions to motivate students to choose a major by their second semester, increased transfer workshops, visits by representatives from CSU, UC and private universities and bus trips to universities and colleges. With the hiring of a new Financial Aid Technician processing of student applications has increased. The program also worked with counseling to provide group counseling for students who were disqualified for not maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress guidelines. The Veterans Center continued to thrive with services for veterans, but growth is limited without a Coordinator. EOP&S counselor, staff and student workers work together to ensure that students attend their three mandated contacts and fulfill other program requirements in order to maintain eligibility. They have refined program policies and procedures, implemented an Access database, SARS Suite, cross trained staff in EOP&S, CARE and CalWORKS and implemented document imagining. All of the programs use social media sites like Face book, Instagram, and Remind101.com to further communications with students and engage them in the digital domain. The college established an International Advisory Committee with broader campus and community representation. An effort has been made to make the program web pages more user friendly and more informative for both students and parents. The will also increase efforts to inform new and continuing students about club opportunities and campus activities and services available to them. The Recruitment and Welcome Center conducted weekly visits to LAUSD District 8 high schools, liaison with Academic Affairs to assist with Outreach Classes offered at local high schools, assisted the Admissions Office with student applications, K-!2 concurrent enrollment forms, AB540 waivers, assessment scheduling and other admissions related forms. The Student Activities Office and ASO provided activities to engage students in campus life that included Club Rush Days, Student Council meetings and training retreats, club advisor meetings and cultural events. The Student Health Center improved the efficiency of the health center and increased the number of student visits. Services were provided to many students who don’t have medical insurance, coverage for medicine or easy access to the health system. The College Nurse and Director/Physician together provided low or no cost medicine for blood pressure, anti-seizure, mental health and other illnesses and provided basic health needs. The Special Programs and Services (SPS) office provided ADA mandated services to students with disabilities through individual and rehabilitation counseling, SPS special classes, technical support services through the High Tech Center, note takers, interpreters and other requested accommodations. The Life Skills Center provided workshops and psychological services for students with personal, relations, study skills and other coping skills. The Student Success & Support Program (SSSP), formerly Matriculation began implementation of SB 1456 working closely with Counseling and the Admissions office. Planning to advertise and increase state mandated requirements for assessment, orientation, counseling and SEPs, and follow up for new students were developed. The Harbor Advantage program was created jointly with Student Services 5 and Academic Affairs to ensure that students are afforded the tools and resources the college has to offer to achieve student success. Program Improvements Associated with SLOs Student Services continued to develop, assess, and evaluate SLOs/SAOs and used data outcomes to make program and service improvements. All staff was encouraged to actively participate in this process through cluster meetings, workshops, retreats, attendance at college wide forums and town halls and working closely with the SLO Coordinator. Each program/office reported program improvement associated with their SLOs/SAOs: The Admissions office implemented a Document Management System which allowed them to retrieve more efficiently student records electronically via the internet, the new student email system to better facilitate communication with students, the E-transcript system improved processing time in sending out student transcripts, participated in development of the new SIS system, which has increased an appreciation of new technology by students. Athletics through the use of their data has increased activities to educate student athletes about the importance of education, following rules and guidelines of athletic participation, ensure safety and welfare of athletics, counseling services and provide equal opportunity for individual growth and development to all student athletes. The CDC continues to serve as a classroom laboratory school for several departments including Child Development, Math, English, psychology and Nursing at the college. The number of observations and practicum’s for students has increased. SLO assessment outcomes confirmed the need to hire a Transfer Center Counselor/Director and Career Counselor. This allowed for the division to meet student transfer and career planning needs through increasing office hours, provision of more access to CSU, UC and private university information, workshops, additional appointments, additional personal development classes which encouraged students to make their own transfer and career decisions. Financial Aid surveys confirmed that students approved of their online process changes to improve, which will help them to adjust to the new SIS system that will come online beginning 2015. EOP&S/CARE/CalWORKS use of SARS Site and the Search Express document imaging system has allowed them to track the number of students completing student educational plans, attendance at workshops and increased use of social media has allowed them to communicate with students instantaneously in a technological manner that is especially preferable to younger students. By assessing hard data such as enrollment, numbers of applicants, transfer rates, and surveying students, the International office has been able to identify improvements that would assist them in retaining students, increasing enrollment and to help the college do more towards internationalizing the campus. 6 Recruitment and provision of admissions assistance will increase individuals in Harbor’s service area to attend college. Program improvements and activities provided by Student Activities and ASO are leading to student civic engagement and participation in campus participatory governance and recommendations. The Student Health Center program improvements students are receiving follow up care when needed and excellent no cost and low cost referral sources increased. SPS program improvements are data driven from results of all planning documents, measurements, satisfaction surveys and state and local audit processes. SSSP improvements to the orientation/assessment process and the scheduling of assessments align with their SLO 2 – Students will be satisfied with the testing and orientation process. The amount of time needed by students to complete orientation and assessment has decreased. Improvements to the scope of information provided and continuous updating of orientation align with their SLO 3 – As a result of completing the orientation, students will demonstrate awareness of the college process and support services available to them. Staffing Requirements In order to provide in person and online comprehensive, efficient and timely support services online data supported the need for additional Student Service support staffing. Currently, positions in the Admissions office are in transition. The Dean responsible for the area retired and an interim is in place and the supervisor is a long term sub.
