Student Equity Plans
Per direction of the Chancellor’s office, California community colleges are required to submit a Student Equity Plan which is designed to review specific “success indicators” (access; retention fall to spring; completion and transfer level math and English; transfer to a 4-year institution; attained Vision Goal completion definition). From this review of the data, the college develops detailed goals, plans of action and tailored resources to address the identified gaps for disproportionately impacted populations and submits a cycle plan to the Chancellor’s office.

Student Equity Resource Document
In the Summer of 2019, the institution set out to write the 2019-2020 Student Equity Plan. Wanting to dig deeper, Student Equity pulled together students, faculty, staff, administrators and community members that identified with the populations to understand who was in the gap and why. These groups reviewed the data and sought to understand, from a qualitative perspective, what was impacting these populations. The work of those groups has been compiled into the Student Equity Resource Document, however, you can explore each disproportionately impacted (DI) group document by clicking on the respective links below.

Each team consist of a variety of members including a team coordinator, ACP dean, counselor, instructional faculty liaison, success coach, and career coach as well as other support positions.
