• 8.2 (Student Support Initiative)
o Links funding to support:
• 7.3 Student Success Scorecard: Implement the

SB 1456:
Student Success Act of 2012

• Re-purpose and re-focus Matriculation on
core services of orientation, assessment, and

developing education plans
• Leveraging technology to reach a greater

Language
• EC 78210: Renames Matriculation Act of 1986 as the
Seymour-Campbell Student Success Act of 2012
• EC 78211: Delineates the Legislature’s intent for the
Student Success Act:
o Aligns matriculation language to SSTF recommendations
regarding services needed to support students in developing
an “informed” ed goal, developing ed plans and declaration
of course of study.
o Shared responsibility between instruction and student services,
based on “evidenced-based” practices of what works.
o Targets funding on core services, such as counseling and
advising, through a broad array of service delivery
mechanisms.
Overview of Bill
Language
EC 78212:
• Delineates the student’s and the institution’s
responsibility for the purpose of achieving the
student's educational goals and completing the
student’s course of study.
• To ensure students are not unfairly impacted, requires
the BOG to establish a reasonable, phased-in
implementation period based on resources available
to serve students.

Language
EC 78212:

targeted to core matriculation services for the
following:

services

principles
o Development of education plans leading to a course of
study and guidance on course selection.
For Discussion

Orientation Process?

Success Seminar?

websites to access support services?
(A project for Computer
Studies/Marketing students?)

processes for:
1. Requiring student participation in core services;
2. Exempting specific student groups; and,

to implement common assessment (if using an
assessment instrument for placement) and student
