• CFNC Application Initiative is complete as of April 30, 2012.  All colleges that are participating have gone 'Live' and following the established process.
• Additionally, State Board of Community Colleges was asked to approve Career and College Promise Operating Procedures Revisions.
• Revisions are taking place on the CCP FAQs as well as the Cooperative Innovative High School (CIHS) application.

At the request of staff, the State Board of Community Colleges is asked to:

• Approve the following addition to the CCP Operating Procedures. 

• A student may concurrently enroll in two CTE programs of study provided the exception has been approved by the college’s Chief Academic Officer or his/her designee.

Rationale:  The Career Technical Education Pathway addition provides an opportunity for exceptional students to take two CTE Pathway programs of study.  This will provide students greater exposure to CTE programming and allow students the opportunity to complete credentials in two career technical education disciplines. 

• Approve the following PSAT Benchmark revisions.
  • English- from 49 to 45
  • Reading - from 50 to 47
  • Mathematics - from 50 to 47

Rationale: The College Readiness Benchmarks on Approved Diagnostic Assessments Tests were revised per College Board.  This revision to PSAT College Readiness Benchmarks provides a better prediction of students’ likelihood of succeeding in the first year of college.  The new PSAT benchmarks are a more direct measure of whether or not students are on track to college readiness

• Approve the deletion of number seven under Career Technical Education Pathway.

Rationale: This statement was provided during the initial phase of CCP and is no longer applicable.

• The revisions for the CCP Operating Procedures will go for to SBCC 'For Action' in July.
• The revisions for the FAQs are still being crafted and edited.  Fall 2013 is the tentative deadline for a finalized copy;
• The revisions for the CIHS is in the editing stage.  The tentative deadline is for Fall 2013.
