Governor s Executive Order of June 2004: Cherry Commission on Higher Education Improve High School Preparation Expand Postsecondary Participation Increase Degree Completion Maximize Economic Benefits 4
Policy Recommendations / Three Goals Double the percentage of residents who attain postsecondary degrees or other credentials that link them to success in Michigan s new economy Improve the alignment of Michigan s institutions of higher education with emerging employment opportunities Build a dynamic workforce of employees who have the talents and skills needed for success in the 21 st century 5
Next Logical Step O2O O2O agreement signed by OCC Chancellor and OU President on March 25, 2010, at Meadowbrook Hall The purpose of the Concurrent Enrollment/Dual Degree program is to increase the number of students who successfully complete both an associate s degree and baccalaureate degree. This goal is accomplished by allowing students to simultaneously earn credits toward both an associate s degree and a baccalaureate degree, rather than requiring students to enroll separately for an associate s degree, and then transfer their earned credits toward a baccalaureate degree. How did we get here from there? 6
The O2O Advantage OCC and OU are just down the street from each other literally Joint admission through one online application Cost savings for students Coordinated financial aid with OU as the home institution Expanded course selection Enhanced advising and course planning Access to the on-campus resources at both institutions Timely completion of associate s and bachelor s degrees 7

Advantages of Our Partnership Better staff understanding of transfer options between schools Working with our counterparts elsewhere Learning from our counterparts elsewhere Coordinated CC2O efforts among all partner institutions 11
Challenges of Our Partnership Getting everyone on the same page about the O2O program (a.k.a., communication) Differing deadline dates Student and staff misunderstanding of what the O2O program really is Data exchange between institutions Maintaining staff involvement in the O2O program now that implementation is behind us 12
Looking Forward Increasing the number of CC2O partnerships Continuing growth of O2O enrollment numbers Additional O2O marketing to OCC and OU students Improvements to data exchange processes Guiding students to graduation at OCC Improvements to reverse transfer opportunities at OCC Identifying someone else at OCC to take the O2O reigns 13
