follow: adding EOPS student data files to the VAX system, computer networking for counselors to

Beginning Fall, 1995, a scantron-based tracking system will be instituted.The Dean of Counseling
and Special Programs and the Dean of Admissions and Records plan to resubmit a Title III
grant in 1997.With telephone registration now expanded and functioning, Student Services will

and implementation of a comprehensive student management system.
Identify and provide the amount of administrative leadership required by the EOP&S and
DSP&$ programs to offer adequate support for those students with mast need.
Both EOPS and DSPS staff, with the participation of generalist counselors, served on committees
in addressing issues on the leadership structure required for adequate administrative support.
Beginning in 1991, EOPS had a 50 percent coordinator filled by generalist counselor reassigned
time. DSPS has also hired a permanent 50 percent coordinator.Since 1992,the College has commitred
to support additional coordinator time during summer as mandated by state guidelines.
Both programs express r~eeds of additional administrative support. During 1995-1996,an interim
plan is being implemented to provide additional administrative time for both DSPS and EOPS
programs.The Matriculation office has been released from the responsibility of the Dean of
Counseling and Special Services, thus allowing more time to provide additional administrative
support to EOPS and DSPS programs. Matriculation has been reorganized under the Student
Development division.The College will review the effectiveness of this plan during the coming
year and propose changes accordingly.The Vice President of Student Services will consult with
the affected Student Services areas to determine a permanent plan. ¯
Develop and implement a comprehens/ve student service program review and plan.
No formalized effort exists in the development and implementation of a comprehensive student
service program review and plan.The Student Services Committee, chaired by the Vice
President of Student Services, plans to develop a framework for student services program review
beginning in Fall, 1995.
