| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | CAPE will work with Admissions and Advising on further institutionalizing support for ESL (English as a Second Language) and HSE (High School Equivalency) students considering enrollment in the College by assisting in making the transition as seamless as possible. It's important to provide this service as both ESL and HSE students require such support to navigate entering the College. While developing this process it should be noted that just by providing College information on a systematic basis will be helpful for students in making informed decisions about furthering their education. As a result, the College is tapping into a target market not fully realized. AY 15-16, ESL enrollment is 868 and HSE enrollment is 846, totaling over 1700 . This is a significant pool of students to put a more concrete process to recruit. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Fewer successful HSE and ESL students will not have the information they need to enroll in the College. |
|---|
| Department Goals | Expand the education pipeline and seamless transition activities from non-credit to College academic programs or external partner to College, Collaborate internally with Academic Affairs, Student Services, and Institutional Advancement staff, College committees, Governance, and other internal entities to identify opportunities for supporting CAPE, it's students and businesses and industries. |
