  1. Policy and Procedural Changes 6/23/2014

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
