Policy and Procedural Changes
6/23/2014
Context and Overview
In 2012, a Policy Review Task Force was formed and
tasked with reviewing system-level policies through a
college completion lens.
The aim was to identify policies and procedures that may
be potential enablers and/or barriers to completion.
The policy review recommendation report was released in
April 2013.
The report contains recommendations focused on
Academic Renewal and how students can address
Required High School Curriculum (RHSC) Deficiencies.
Academic Renewal and RHSC
Deficiency Policy Working Groups
As a result of the recommendations from the Policy Review Task Force,
two working groups were formed. One focused on Academic Renewal
and the other on RHSC Deficiency.
The two working groups met from February 2014 through April 2014 and
during this time conducted an extensive review of these two policy
areas.
Each group has produced a recommendation report.
