Matriculation
What Is Matriculation?
The primary objective of matriculation
is to ensure student success.
It is designed to assist
students in planning, selecting
and achieving their educational
goals. The matriculation process
begins with admission and ends
when the student achieves
his/her educational goal.
The California Community Colleges
Board of Governors defines matriculation
as "a process that brings a
college and a student who enrolls
into an agreement for the purpose
of realizing the student's educational
objective through the college's
programs and services."
Components of Matriculation
The matriculation plan consists of
several components that colleges
are required to provide. They are:
• Admissions: a procedure for
processing the application
• Orientation: an activity that
informs students of their
responsibilities; the programs
and services offered by the
college; academic expectations
of the students; the college’s
policies and any other
appropriate information
• Assessment: using multiple
measures of place all
non-exempt students into math,
reading and English classes
• Counseling and Advisement:
development of a Student
Educational Plan (SEP) based
on the student's educational
goals
• Student Follow-up: early
intervention such as the "Early
Alert Program," follow-up with
students on probation and with
students who are undecided on
a major/career goal
• Coordination and Training:
faculty and staff training in
matriculation and research on
student outcomes
• Research and Evaluation:
validation of assessment
instruments, analysis of student
outcomes, placement rules, and
district resources in relation to
student needs
• Prerequisites, co requisites and
advisories: developing and
monitoring the course
requirements students need to
progress and achieve their
educational goals
