STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES GOALS

Transcription

1 STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES GOALS The administrators and department managers of Student Services identified six major Goals to focus on during the five year period. The overarching goals for Student Services encompass the work of the departments within the division. The goals were developed to address the critical challenges facing Mission students in the pursuit of their academic goals. Goal 1: Increase the percentage of students that use existing self-service options and enhance the quality of those services. Goal 2: Increase the percentage of students who declare a major no later than the end of their first year at Mission. Goal 3: Reduce the number of students on academic probation, progress probation and disqualification. Goal 4 Increase the number of students who graduate with an AA degree, transfer or are prepared to transfer. Goal 5: Increase student awareness in changes of Title 5, Financial Aid and Student Success Initiative (SB 1456) policy changes that impact student progress and success.
