V-READY will be available to students on Wednesdays from 9:30-4pm and Fridays from 9:30-2pm so students can get 'registration ready' for Summer and Fall 2026.

Readmission Fee - the fee is being waived for Summer & Fall 2026. 

Dept Listening Sessions - EM along with Advisement and Registrar (as requested) has met with 7 departments: Accounting & Finance, Behavioral Science, Biology, OT, Social Work, Teacher Education and Nursing.  Exercise Science is scheduled for April.  I encourage other departments to request a listening session so we can meet and discuss how EM can be helpful in removing barriers. 

As part of these meetings, we are requesting departments submit revised and up-to-date Degree Maps.

Town Halls - We have coordinated with the President's Office to offer Town Hall Listening Sessions to hear from students about how their semester is going and how we can help with any struggles or challenges they may be having. Representatives from ALL departments are encouraged to join.

 

The admissions funnel indicates the number of student applications vs admitted vs committed to the college as compared to last year.  

Admissions staff work on contacting students to help them move through the funnel. 

Compares the number of class sections by modalities: In person, Hybrid and Online.
