SSSP Background
 The Student Success Act of 2012, signed by Governor Brown on
September 27, 2012, established the Student Success and
Support Program (SSSP). The SSSP replaces the former
Matriculation program.
 Key recommendations require students to complete core
matriculation services: Declare a course of study early and
complete orientation, assessment, counseling/advising,
educational planning and participate in follow-up services.
 The Act provides categorical funding to complete these tasks and
establishes enrollment priorities for different groups of students
and ties academic standing to the BOGFW program

SSSP and Matriculation Differences
 The former Matriculation program was established in 1986
through the Seymour-Campbell Act.
 Beginning in 1987, community colleges were required to provide
the processing of admission applications, orientation and preorientation services, assessment and counseling upon
enrollment, and post-enrollment evaluation of a student’s
progress.
 In 2013-14, the last year of Matriculation funding, Hartnell
College received $461,000 to support program activities.
 In 2014-15, the first year of Student Success and Support
Program funding, Hartnell College is expected to receive no less
than $1,053,000 to support program activities.

SSSP Oversight
 The SSSP+SEP Steering Committee consists of the Chairs of the
SSSP and SEP workgroups, the Vice President of Student Affairs
and the Dean of Institutional Planning and Effectiveness.
 The group formed in late Spring 2014 to provide oversight over
the development of the SSSP and SEP. The group meets weekly.
 The group also developed the Timeline for SSSP-SEP-BSI Plan
Completion. The timeline has been shared in numerous
committee and governance council meetings.
 The Steering Committee supports the development and
implementation of the plans and helps to leverage resources to
insure completion by the required deadline.
