Student Equity
BOG Fee Waiver
Residency
Priority Enrollment

3. Budget Update 2014-15 SSSP received additional $100 M
$199.2 M Total (Excludes SE and $2.5 M for Tech Asst.)
$70 M allocated to districts for Student Equity
$ M allocated to districts
Proposed Budget includes additional $100 M each for SSSP and Student Equity
SSSP match adjustment if funding increase approved (SE has no match requirement)
More $ = more expectations/accountability
The program received an additional $100M for million of that is dedicated towards the new state technical assistance project. That amount does not include the amount funded for Student Equity.
$181.7 M of that amount will be allocated to districts. The $14.3 M difference between the two is dedicated on an ongoing basis for Common Assessment and the Education Planning initiatives, as well as a smaller amount to cover the college subscription costs for CCC Apply.
That $181.7 M will be split between credit and noncredit SSSP. I will talk about the percentage of the split in the next slide.

4. Student Equity & SSSP Relationship
Student Equity is broader - SSSP supports Equity
SSSP focuses on services for entering students
SSSP identifies individuals needing more help
Student Equity identifies groups needing more help
SE focuses on services and instruction for new and continuing students through completion
SB 1456 requires coordination of SSSP & SE Plans
Student Equity Plan Matrix addresses SSSP services
SE funds can be spent on SSSP, other services, & curricular redesign if justified by the disproportionate impact study.
Both programs address student success but each with its own focus
SSSP focuses on providing key support services for entering students and continuing at-risk students.
Student Equity focuses on closing achievement gaps in both access and success in underrepresented student groups
Student Equity addresses practices at the institution as a whole, and encompasses both support services and instruction
SSSP is the entry point in bringing students into the institution
It helps identify students that need additional assistance based on their assessment levels (basic skills) & ed. planning
Pathways into and through the organization (SSSP) and interventions targeted to specific groups to help students to reach their goals (course completion, graduation, transfer) through Student Equity.

10. Residency Update
Veterans Nonresident Tuition Fee Waiver (Sec. 702 of HR 3230; AB 13 - Enrolled )
Effective July 15, 2015, federal legislation (HR 3230) disapproves a course provided to an eligible nonresident veteran and/or eligible family member if the institution charges tuition and fees for that course at a rate that is higher than the rate that would be charged to CA residents.
In response, state legislation (AB 13) passed by legislature
Colleges may exempt nonresident veterans (or their dependents) who are using their GI Bill benefits from paying nonresident tuition
CO working on guidance
There’s a question as to whether the language in AB 13 actually contains the necessary statutory language needed to make the intended change or to ensure that resulting enrollment can be reported for state apportionment.
