We are here to help students Learn, Succeed & Complete their goals to: Earn an Associate Degree Earn a Career & Technical Education (CTE) Credential Transfer to a four-year university with core curriculum completed Complete coursework to improve career opportunities The LSC Success plan started with the launch of LSC Best Start in 2011. Designed as the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) of our ten-year SACS reaccreditation process, Best Start focused students, faculty and staff on four key actions necessary to achieve student success: Set a Goal Make a Plan Get Connected Stay Involved Since then, LSC Success has dedicated resources to studying and revising the policies, procedures, processes and practices that will accelerate and support these actions. LSC Success is equally focused on removing any barriers that prevent students from making progress towards goal completion. As a result, LSC Success is a well-researched and intentionally designed roadmap to significantly improve student success and credential completion. Many aspects of our completion plan have been in place to varying degrees in the past, but all are now consistently implemented and fully integrated into the day to day operations of every LSC campus location. Since Best Start was launched, successive components are being phased in over several years. The current LSC Success phase includes: Common mandatory new student orientation Required student success course Required academic plan Declared program of study in first year Required first term and continuous remediation Required test preparation prior to placement testing Lone Star College is dedicated to increasing the number of students who complete a degree, earn a career certification or successfully transfer core curriculum credits to a four-year undergraduate program.
