Initiative Title	Increased Funds for Academic Support Services on both campuses
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Both campus learning/tutorial centers experienced significant increases in applications during the fall 2018 semester. Increased funds are needed to continue providing a level of support to meet our students' needs. The Middletown Tutorial Center has experienced an increase in student use of our tutoring services over the past two academic years. This increase is seen not only in the Tutorial Center itself but also throughout our Academic Labs. During the AY17-18 we spent $133,665.51 in the Tutorial Program spend category, a 20% increase from AY16-17's $111,591.17. We anticipate a likewise increase during the current academic year of 2018-2019, while we are also working to expand our programming offered to students. Because of this we are requesting a 20% increase of our tutorial line. The Newburgh Learning Center has experienced an increase in student use of our tutoring services over the past two academic years. In AY17-18, we spent $78,415.95 in the Tutorial Program spend category, a 28% increase from AY16-17's $56,260.90. We have already experienced a consistent increase for Fa18, and anticipate this consistency to continue. We are also working to expand Learning Center programming offered to students. Because of this we are requesting a 25% increase of our tutorial line from $88,000 to $110,000.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	There are a number of student applications we must turn away each AY simply because we can't schedule them. The Math Lab is at capacity with its current budget allotment. With the ability to hire more staff to meet student need, we will be able to continue to meet student demand for academic support. There are a number of student applications we must turn away each AY simply because we are unable to schedule them. With the increased ability to hire more staff, we will be able to meet student demand for our services.

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

The Tutorial Center showed a 20% increase from AY 16-17 to AY 17-18, with the Math Lab at full capacity, resulting in students being denied services due to limited scheduling capabilities. This initiative’s data substantiates the need to hire more staff to fulfill the demand for tutorial services and support.

Level 5 (Cabinet)

Critical with Co-req and Gateway Courses. Easily expect 10% increase. Unsure where funding comes from.
