SPC Strategy for Section Reduction Rationale for reduction: • Service level adjusted • Consistent with request by Board of Trustees • Budget funding model reflected reduction in contact hours
SPC Strategy for Section Reduction Academic Courses • Review which sections “made” during the Fall 2010 • Departments notified Fall 2011 section offerings should parallel Fall 2010 “made” class listings • Sections “ghosted” to accommodate larger enrollments • Sections added only to complement Second Start and to support DEDP initiatives. • Weekly review of enrollments begin with early registration until start of term. Earlier decisions made on cancelling low enrolled sections allow students more time to make other selections.
SPC Strategy for Section Reduction Workforce Courses • Review course offerings based on student needs. • Review graduation status of students in programs. • Health Science offer set courses for year long programs. Enrollments capped. • Nursing sections reduced with larger enrollments (50/lec) • Teachout sections offered with anticipated low enrollments • Some programs consolidated into one cohort to increase lecture class sizes
