Standard Three 40school juniors and seniors), and senior citizens is also found there. Thequarterly schedule and the application identify the steps for admissionand refer students to appropriate campus offices for assistance.The Admissions Office provides support for enrolled students byprocessing residency applications and referring them to on-campus andoff-campus resources. The letter of acceptance from the AdmissionsOffice advises students to contact the Special Needs Office ifaccommodations for a disability are necessary during their schoolexperience. Special admissions policies consistent with immigration lawsand college requirements have been established for internationalapplications as well.AnalysisAn area of concern being studied at this time is the difference betweenstudents who are admitted as matriculated during designated registrationperiods and those who may begin their college experience by takingadvantage of open enrollment. Open enrollment students often choose toself-advise or are part-timers either unfocused or incapable of meetingwith staff during regular periods. Because of these factors, they may notbe included in the advising loop at a later time, a problem which mayaffect their planning for graduation. Current registration procedures favormatriculated students so staff must design ways to include the growingnumber of part-time, self-directed students in all registration and advisingactivities. The SIPC has been asked to review this process.The procedures for admission of students under the age of 16 wereambiguous and often not followed. The Student Issues and PolicyCouncil (SIPC) reviewed this concern and created a process that anystudent under 16 must follow to gain admission as a college student.This policy was fully discussed at Faculty Senate and College Counciland adopted by President's Cabinet.

These activities are done with sincerity and respect toincrease knowledge about the various cultural groups of people bothwithin and outside the U.S.The Diversity Committee, a student club (ACCORD), and the InternationalStudent Programs all contribute significantly to these activities.
