What is the state of Dual Enrollment at ARC? 1:20 Time Certain CCAP vs Non CCAP Current partners and degree paths Supports in place Number of students served Success rates / Degree rates Other highlights we should know Summer offereings?	Melissa Fish	• Program Focus: Emphasis on CCAP (College & Career Access Pathways) dual enrollment; includes GE and CTE pathways with cohort-based student support. Non-CCAP exists but is not the primary focus. • Regulatory & Strategic Context: Guided by AB 288, AB 30, AB 368, SB 1244, and Vision 2030 goals (12 college units for all high school graduates). • Partnerships: Strong network of 31 partners (school districts, charters, and community organizations) supported by MOUs, course agreements, and data-sharing agreements. • Courses & Pathways: Wide range of GE and CTE courses; pathways include AA Social Science and career education tracks. Student Support & Services • Dedicated CCAP counselor, success coaches, faculty, tutoring, and writing center support. • High-touch model with on-site engagement, regular check-ins, and collaboration with high school staff and community partners. Enrollment & Outcomes • Significant growth: ~2,000 students (2023) to 4,000+ (Fall 2025 CCAP). • Approximately 14% drop rate; ~3,500 students completed with grades. • Program demonstrated strong success rates (~89% overall; ≥80% for students of color). • Evidence of accelerated high school graduation and AA degree attainment. Data & Equity • Data-sharing agreements enable real-time student monitoring and support. • Majority under 18; ~2/3 students are students of color. • Data limitations due to self-reporting (e.g., GPA, first-gen status). Program Value • Expands access to college courses, reduces costs, supports early major exploration, and improves transfer readiness.
How should we integrate feedback into the Dual Enrollment Charter?	All	Feedback & Next Steps • Governance: Strong emphasis on aligning with Academic Senate “10+1” authority (curriculum, standards, faculty roles). • Key Discussion Points: o Clarify faculty role and collegial consultation in decision-making. o Ensure charter defines scope (framework vs. implementation). o Add language/definitions reinforcing that 10+1 matters go to Academic Senate. • Next Steps: o Revisions underway (Angela & Noue). o Second reading with Academic Senate imminent. o Implementation to be handled by Dual Enrollment team, not the charter itself.
How is the Institutional Equity Plan coming along?	Steve Roberson	Steve Roberson gave a Planning Process Update Phases: Initiation (Aug 2025) → Preparation (Oct 2025) → Team-based engagement (Jan–Mar 2026) → now in Closure Phase. Engagement & Data: Extensive input from employee (250+) and student (400+) surveys and listening sessions. Draft & Governance: Initial draft going to Faculty Senate (1st read), with prior/Classified Senate and upcoming Student Senate review. Key Focus: Center stakeholder voices to identify strengths and barriers, with actionable recommendations. Recommendations Framework: Short-term: onboarding equity training, mentoring, student success workshops, improved navigation/ communication, one-stop hub, language access, AI policy, and cross-area collaboration. Long-term: staffing/workload, service access, basic needs & mental health, process redesign (enrollment/ facilities), tech/facilities upgrades, financial aid barriers, counseling capacity, and course bottlenecks. Goal: Provide a structured, actionable format to support implementation, feasibility assessment, and ongoing progress tracking.
