In 2016, during the goal setting required by the California Community College Chancellors’ Office (CCCCO) via the Institutional Effectiveness and Partnership Initiative (IEPI), the College established and adopted the six-year course success goal to 75.4% by 2021-2022; therefore, the Institution set standard (short-term goal for 2015-16) for course success rate is 72.9% and the stretch goal (long-term goal) is 75.4%. (Course Success Goal Setting).
In 2019, the College established its Vision for Success (VfS) goals required by the CCCCO and Assembly Bill 1908. These goals were established through the College’s shared governance process and were accepted by the President’s Cabinet, Academic Senate, Classified Senate, Student Senate, and the Share Governance Council. Per the CCCCO Vision for Success, the College set the 2016-17 actual outcomes as the baseline for setting our Stretch Goals. The College then utilized this same baseline to set our Institution-Set Standards. For degrees and certificates awarded, the Stretch Goal was set at 20% above the Institution-Set Standards. For transfer degrees awarded, the Stretch Goal was set at 35% above the Institution-Set Standards.
· Vision for Success GOAL 1: Increase by 20 percent the number of LMC students annually who acquire associates degrees, credentials, certificates.
· Vision for Success GOAL 2: Increase by 35 percent the number of LMC students system-wide transferring annually to a UC or CSU. (Completed ADT Degrees)
