We need to develop a process to train counselors to consistently enter data into Datatelso that information can be retrieved for research purposes and produce the MIS reportfor the System Office.3. We need a degree audit program that includes evaluating transcripts from other collegesprior to enrollment at Shasta College.4. We need a way to notify the counselor of students who receive an Early Alert notice sothat the counselor can follow up with the student.5. Only a small percentage of faculty members are participating in Early Alert at this time.- 83 -
