  7. Updates CPE Program Reviews • CPE has issued a one year moratorium on Program Reviews while a group is formed to “reframe” the process. • This means no one will have to complete CPE Program Reviews in Spring 2019. 

  8. Updates New SACSCOC Dual Enrollment Policy • “The academic rigor of such coursework matches the quality of other institutional coursework, regardless of location or mode of delivery.” • “…institutions being reviewed should also be prepared to demonstrate clear institutional control over these dual enrollment courses and programs.” • “Institutions may not offer courses which combine students enrolled in the college course with students who are only receiving high school credit.” • Per SACSCOC, implementation delayed until Fall ‘19 • “The faculty assumes primary responsibility for dual enrollment courses. Such oversight ensures both the rigor of programs/courses and the quality of instruction.”

  10. 15 to Finish Scholarship • New scholarship to encourage students to take 15 credit hours a semester. • Data reveals that more hours equate to higher student success. • Scholarship will provide students with a $500 scholarship once they complete a 15 hour semester and re-enroll for another 15 hours the following semester. • Targeted audience: Students pursuing an associate degree and currently taking 12 – 14.9 hours.

  11. 15 to Finish Scholarship • To apply a student will… • Enroll in 15 hours that apply to their degree. • Check at the bottom of the Launch panel of their student self-service page within PeopleSoft. • All interested students are encouraged to meet with their advisor.

  15. On Ramp Program

  16. On Ramp – Skills U Partnership • The primary focus of our adult initiative this year is a partnership with Skills U (formerly Kentucky Adult Education) to jointly market, recruit, enroll and train adult learners. • Approximately 350,000 Kentucky adults do not have a high school degree or GED. • Many of these individuals do not have the skills or knowledge needed to fill the over 200,000 job openings in the state.

  17. On Ramp – Skills U Partnership • This joint collaboration primarily targets GED seeking students and puts them on quick path to a new career by letting them get both a GED and a free (Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship) college credential at the same time.

  18. On Ramp – Skills U Partnership • Traditional higher education roadblocks are gone. Roadblocks such as financial aid (Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship Program)and lack of time (students get to do two things at once). • Provides students with a quick win-win and shows them that they can succeed in college. They’ve Got This!
