Theme 4 Action Plans

Review the Academic Dismissal process with regard to retention and success outcomes.
Intentional use of scholarships in recruitment and retention
Get a handle on our graduation rates; we need to track all students and determine how to account for them outside "first time-full time" (tell the internal transfer story, conduct peer-to-peer NCES reports, add a question on Petition to Grad regarding prior enrollment in AA, etc.)
Move many Registrar functions online for ease of use, and data integrity and analysis.
Continue bringing prospective students and families to campus; in-person visits have big results!
Grow non-traditional programs (online, evening/weekend, etc.).
