QEP

质量提升计划:KoalaPASS

火博体育官网很高兴地宣布 叫作KoalaPASS的质量提升计划. KoalaPASS will significantly change how our new Day College students are advised by doubling the advisors and adding more focused support for the transition to 哥伦比亚大学.

质素提升计划, 简称QEP, is a 5-year plan to improve some aspect of student outcomes. It represents a significant commitment by the College in both time and money. The process for KoalaPASS started in mid-2020, and the plan was submitted to SACSCOC for approval in February of 2022. The final version will be published in May of 2022 for implementation during the summer for new Day College students who start in August of 2022.

QEP学习成果

• Students will achieve measurable progress toward timely completion of academic goals.
• Students will demonstrate an awareness of academic resources and student support services.
