Not Enough Counselors at Community Colleges!

A Student Success Task force approved the following for Community College students:

“Under the new plan, all students will be expected to set up an education plan to move quickly toward an associate’s degree or vocational certificate. If they linger too long or take too many classes unrelated to their goal, they lose registration priority.

Though applauded for this major policy move, I can’t help but feel this is so basic and obvious its frightening that this was the Task Force’s design for reform. On a more practical level, students at community colleges already struggle to have face-time with a academic counselor when no “plan” is required. Who is going to help them devise a “plan” and follow through?

Perhaps most important for the entire family, the Head Start College program paces students to complete their applications by Thanksgiving.
