<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Good morning colleagues,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
You may recall that testing and training of Guided Pathways Subplans in ctcLink took place this summer and several ctcLink colleges subsequently went live with Subplans at the end of August. The remaining DG3 colleges will launch Subplans when they are ready.
Moving forward, Deployment Groups 4, 5 and 6 will implement Subplans as they get ready to go live on ctcLink.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Today, we would like to give you an update on another technical aspect of our Guided Pathways work:
<b>Meta Majors in ctcLink</b>. </p>
<h1 style="margin: 12pt 0in 0.0001pt; break-after: avoid; font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Calibri Light", sans-serif; color: rgb(46, 116, 181); font-weight: normal;">
Background<span style="color:#1F497D"></span></h1>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
When the Washington community and technical college system developed system-wide functional requirements for a new administrative software solution in 2011, Guided Pathways Meta Majors were not part of the requirements. Meta Majors scope was also not added
during the ctcLink Project timeline and budget re-plan efforts in 2017. <span style="color:#1F497D">
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
In the intervening years, as Guided Pathways work was launched and long after the ctcLink Academic Structure configuration in PeopleSoft Campus Solutions was put into place
<span style="color:#1F497D">c</span>olleges and commissions began to express a desire to add Guided Pathways technical requirements<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>to the ctcLink scope of work. As part of that work, colleges were engaged in a 2019 series of Business Process Requirements gathering workshops to define what technical needs existed.
<span style="color:#1F497D"></span></p>
<h1 style="margin: 12pt 0in 0.0001pt; break-after: avoid; font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Calibri Light", sans-serif; color: rgb(46, 116, 181); font-weight: normal;">
Challenges, Opportunities and the Work Ahead </h1>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
The ideal solution for Guided Pathways Meta Majors would be to reconfigure the ctcLink Academic Structure to include Meta Majors, while implementing the remaining colleges. However, this work would will take additional funding and time to implement that is
not part of the ctcLink budget and timeline.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Were we to reconfigure the ctcLink Academic Structure to include Meta-Majors while still implementing the remaining colleges in Deployment Groups 4, 5 and 6, it would present a critical risk not only to the SBCTC ctcLink Support and ctcLink Project teams, but
also to the colleges; putting a halt to the ctcLink project work and delaying the schedule for an indeterminant amount of time. (Each year of delay costs the colleges roughly $10 million.)</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
The Academic Structure re-design to incorporate Meta-Majors is not a simple task colleges can outsource, as it requires<i> significant effort and active engagement</i> by skilled college subject matter experts (SMEs) especially, but not limited to, staff
who configure Academic Advisement and Enrollment Requirements making local college decisions and collaborating with campus instructional colleagues and SBCTC.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Academic Structure re-design steps include:</p>
<ul type="disc" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<li class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Colleges currently on ctcLink PeopleSoft (DG2 and DG3) Cascadia College, Clark College, Lower Columbia College, Olympic College, Peninsula College, Pierce College Fort Steilacoom, Pierce College Puyallup, Spokane Community College, Spokane Falls Community
College, Tacoma Community College cannot move forward until all of these steps are taken. DG2 and DG3 colleges recently completed a tremendous body of work to develop, test and implement their Guided Pathways Sub-Plans into ctcLink. Moving forward, all
deployment groups are implementing their Sub-Plans as they prepare to go live.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
At this time, college SMEs are already challenged to meet the heavy-lift of ctcLink due to the stay-at-home order, remote work, staff reductions and furloughs. The SBCTC ctcLink Support Organization is in a building phase and has neither the capacity nor the
specific technical skills on staff to successfully implement this change. <span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>The ctcLink project team is staffed to complete the current defined and approved scope, additional scope or changes will have a direct impact on the deployment timeline for remaining colleges.</p>

In addition, the ctcLink Projects external quality assurance oversight agency has cautioned the Project to carefully manage its planned scope, so as not to derail the tight schedule and limited budget.

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
While Guided Pathways is a key element of our college system, the SBCTC ctcLink Change Management Board in concurrence with agency leaders, IT leadership, and ctcLink Project governance has determined this re-design effort is best suited to take place after
all colleges are live in ctcLink (Feb/March 2022). It is recommended that a separate optimization project is planned, with scope to include the<b>
</b>Meta-Major implementation.<b> This future optimization project will need to be planned, approved and funded by WACTC (Presidents). </b></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
SBCTC research and data services will continue to investigate possible solutions for reporting requirements that come up, and will communicate about those efforts with the colleges in the next few months. </p>
