Board meetings and strategic plans from Columbia College
The strategic vision for Columbia College is centered around empowering students to achieve personal and professional success through a diverse, supportive, and innovative learning community. Key goals include improving the student experience by creating inclusive environments, modernizing facilities, aligning academic programs with workforce needs, enhancing athletics programs, optimizing administrative systems for operational excellence, and increasing revenue through various strategies.
The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) for Columbia College focuses on enhancing student success through an integrated system of academic advising. The plan aims to improve students' utilization of academic resources and support services. The QEP has two overarching goals: to institutionalize a system of holistic advising dedicated to student success and to educate and enable students in self-advocacy and individual responsibility for their higher education. The plan identifies three learning outcomes: students will achieve measurable progress toward timely completion of academic goals, demonstrate an awareness of academic resources and student support services, and regularly communicate with advisors to achieve academic success.
The strategic plan focuses on enhancing student academic success through timely goal completion, awareness of academic resources, and regular communication with advisors. Key strategies include adopting a holistic dual advising model, hiring a success coach, increasing advisor training, revising communication flows in Navigate, enhancing faculty and staff training on referrals, implementing new advising tools in Jenzabar, releasing course schedules earlier, and embedding a Student Success Resource Awareness Module into a New Student Advising Portal in Canvas and the LA 100 Course. Additionally, a registration hold will be placed on new students until they achieve a minimum score on a Student Services Awareness Survey.
