The College will develop and implement a comprehen-sive Enrollment Manage-ment Plan.
Outreach will promote GWC enrollment through classroom presen-tations and campus tours.
After1) presentations or 2) tours, prospective students will demonstrate a general knowledge of Community College by identifying:
A. Cost
B. Matriculation Process
C. Educational Routes
• Survey questions will be designed to measure what students have learned regarding:
During Fall and Spring 2005/2006, Survey will be administered to prospective students by Outreach staff following: 1. Presentations 2. Campus Tours
A. Cost of Attendance
B. Matriculation Process
C. Educational Routes
• A standard of 90% correct responses is the expected level of student achievement for each of five survey questions.
• The Supervisor of Outreach will collect, record, and evaluate the data using Microsoft Excel.
Align clearly with Column III:
Means of Assessment & Standard

Outreach will promote GWC enrollment through classroom presen-tations and campus tours.
After1) presen-tations or 2) tours, prospective students will demonstrate a general knowledge of Community College by identifying:
• Standard of 90% correct responses. A. 54% (34/63) of the students identified the
correct cost of attendance B. 49% (31/63) of the students identified the correct process for matriculation C. 92% (58/63) of the students identified the correct educational routes available at CCs.
2) After tours, data shows that:
1) After presentations, data shows that:
A. 76% (47/62) of the students identified the correct cost of attendance
B. 77% (48/62) of the students identified the correct process for matriculation
C. 86% (53/62) of the students identified the correct educational routes available at CCs

The College will develop and implement a comprehen-sive Enrollment Manage-ment Plan.
Outreach will promote GWC enrollment through classroom presen-tations and campus tours.
After1) presen-tations or 2) tours, prospective students will demonstrate a general knowledge of Community College:
A. Cost of attendance in comparison to CSU’s and UC’s
B. Matricu-lation Process
C. Educa-tional Routes
Pre and Post Survey used at:
1. Presen-tations
2. Campus Tours
• Survey questions /measure students’ learning regarding A. Cost B. Matricu-lation Process C. Educa-tional Routes
• Standard of 90% correct responses.
A. 76% correct costB. 77% correct process for matriculation C. 86% correct educational routes
• created a check list of information to be covered during every tour (completed June 30, 2006), and
• incorporated this check list into the staff / tour guide training for Sept. 2006.
1) Although the 90% standard was not met for presentation exit surveys, the results were excellent with an average of about 80% of the prospective students demonstrating knowledge of all information tested.
1) After Presen-tations
2) After Tours
A. 54% correct costB. 49% correct process for matriculation C. 92% correct educational routes
Therefore, after much discussion, Outreach staff decided to adjust the standard to a more reasonable expectation of 80% correct response overall. No further action is needed.
2) While prospective students surpassed the 90% standard of knowledge for educational routes (C) in the surveys for tours, only 54% and 49% demonstrated knowledge of (A) cost of attendance and (B) matriculation process. Therefore, Outreach staff decided to focus on tours for SLO Cycle 2. In an effort to improve student learning, the supervisor of Outreach, Veronica Pizano:
Notice that the use of results is written using “past tense” verbs.
Using “past tense” makes the final document much more convincing.
However, it could take as long as a year to actually use the results, and finalize the 5-column model.
Therefore, we use the “Planned Action Matrix” as a plan for using the results, keeping in mind that the “plan” is flexible.
