Objectives
Design, implement, and continuously review program maps that clearly inform students of program pre-requisites,
“stackable” certificates, degree requirements, and student learning outcomes that meet the expectations of employers
for work and/or universities for transfer. Stackable certificates are those within a progression of certificates — entrylevel,
intermediate, and advanced — each targeted at students at a specific point along the education continuum and
preparing them with knowledge, skills, and credits leading to a degree.
1. Monitor student academic progress and provide an early alert system to trigger timely assistance to help students
stay on track.
2. Direct students to appropriate resources to ensure wellness and study-work-life balance.
3. Explore and implement new initiatives and partnerships that incentivize and support student academic progress.
4. Revamp ACC program/class schedules to match student needs (block-scheduled programs, weekend programs,
online programs, competency-based education, etc.)
5. Transition students from Area of Study advisors to faculty advisors at an appropriate point of progress.
6. Develop and implement high-impact educational practices and programs, as identified by research, that
increase student engagement and success (e.g., active and collaborative learning, culturally responsive teaching,
global education, internships, and other experiential learning activities such as study abroad, service learning,
civic engagement, etc.)
7. Create high-level business and industry councils as well as government/community partnerships that reflect the
ACC Areas of Study to advise the College and provide support for state-of-the-art pathways.
8. Develop and provide professional development that leads to faculty and staff certifications in best practices to
support student persistence/progress initiatives.
9. Plan for the alignment of institutional resources (facilities, technology, human resources, etc.) to support student
persistence/progress initiatives.
10. Expand outside resource development opportunities to support student persistence/progress initiatives.
Metrics: Successful course completion (grades A–C); completion of developmental education; completion of credit
gateway courses; persistence fall-to-spring; persistence fall-to-fall; accumulation of credit hours (15 SCH, 30 SCH, 45
SCH); Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) measures; highly effective educational practices
(e.g., internships, service learning, etc.)
