Hello everyone –</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I hope that all of you are staying sane at this time.</span><font face="Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I
teach at Highline College where we are gearing up to expand our college success course to a required aspect of the courses for all degree-seeking students. We developed the college success course last year and are piloting a couple sections this year each
quarter (enrollment based on desire or advisor recommendations), despite the generally low enrollments that we are all facing now. </span></font></p>

</div>
<div style="margin:0px">We are nervously trying to figure out how we take this from an
<b>unrequired pilot with several sections a quarter</b> to a<b> required course for all degree-seeking students
</b>without a giant bottleneck of students or some sort of crash and burn outcome for College 101.<br>

<div style="margin:0px">For those of you who are now at the full speed (all degree-seeking students required to take the college success course) I'd love to hear how you staged the ramp-up from "we are piloting this course" to "everyone needs to take it" --
was it staggered for different groups or did you just scale up from 5 miles an hour to 90 mph in one quarter?</div>

<div style="margin:0px">You could respond to this listserv with a list like:</div>
<div style="margin:0px">
<ol>
<li><span>we required it for _____ and ____ as the first step.</span></li><li>As the second step, in the next quarter (or year) we required it for.....</li></ol>
<div>Or if it is easier, you could shoot me an email and I could set up a quick zoom conversation soon? (15-30 minutes) -- if so, let me know availability.</div>
