[GuidedPathways] Mandatory College Success Courses

[Word, Elizabeth]

Hello Kate,
We are rolling out our College 101 requirement for all AA-DTA students this Fall (long process getting approval from Faculty Senate but we found a place to start and will evaluate January 2024.  We did an extensive curricular design and learned from many in our state and across the country.  We have been offering  the newly designed course over the past year and  tweaking as we go to incorporate student feedback.

Here is a link "About College 101<https://www.highline.edu/college101/>".

Happy to chat about our course and invite two of our amazing faculty members that have been anchors for the design team - Wendy Swyt<https://directory.highline.edu/?person=WSwyt> and Cory Martin<https://directory.highline.edu/?person=cmartin>.

My best,
Liz

Greetings,



Seattle Central College is looking at models that make College Success/Skills courses mandatory and scaled. Has your college moved from a non-mandatory to mandatory model? If so, I would appreciate hearing from you and learning more!





Warmly,

Kate
