Student Success Act SB 1456
- In 2010, Legislation was introduced to implement
important elements of the Student Success Task
Force recommendations
- In September 2012, Senate Bill 1456 changed the
law known as the Matriculation Act to the
Seymour-Campbell Student Success Act of 2012.
SB 1456 amended the matriculation program to
frame the Task Force’s vision of student success
and support services
- Effective January 1, 2013 Matriculation Program
is now known as “Student Success and Support
Program”
Purpose/Focus of SB 1456
The purpose of SB 1456 is to increase CCC
student access and success by providing
effective core matriculation services,
including orientation, assessment, and
counseling. The focus of SB 1456 is on the
entering students’ transition into college by
providing a foundation for student
achievement
SB 1456 Core Components
SB 1456 provides the statutory authority for the
BOG to require/mandate that:
- Students participate in orientation, assessment
and education planning
- Colleges receiving student success program funds
must implement a common assessment and
accountability scorecard
- Students must meet academic progress to be
eligible for the BOG Fee Waiver
Implications to Students
CORE SERVICE #1
ASSESSMENT
• Assessment before course registration
helps a student learn more about their
study skills, English language
proficiency and Math skills
Implications to Instruction/Student Services
• The Chancellor’s office believes that
using a common assessment
instrument will more accurately
determine the skill levels of entering
students and ensure placement into
appropriate coursework. Information
from the common assessment would
be used to determine students’ needs
for additional support
• Delta College has yet to determine if
we will use Common assessment
(CCCCO has not developed tool)
Implications to Students
Core Service #2
• Orientation services provides
students with information
concerning campus procedures,
academic expectations, and
financial assistance
Implications to Instruction/Student
Services
ORIENTATION

• AFFIRM orientations
• Athletic Express orientations

career interests by developing an
