What we did
5
What we did Redesign FA Document Process
Re-design student document submission process to make it more intuitive. Create paperless verification worksheet and c-code document submission process, driven by student. Better for student Better for College staff Better for cycle times, errors, and student accountability Student can submit documents online Upload Camera phone Fax barcode
6
What we did Shared Service Center for File Review
Federal Title IV is a standardized process Ensure consistency of processing across campus = Ensure compliance Ensure consistent student experience Leverage economies of scale Reduce need for hiring, staffing, retaining and training at each College Leverage centralized people, process and technology Colleges retain control of special cases, escalations, etc. Outsourced process to Global FAS

Why we did it

Why we did it DCCCD Collin College Application Growth Pell Awards
58,503 total FA applications received for 92% increase over Pell Awards $69 million in Federal Pell awards paid for 84% increase over Staff Staffing resources are not growing at a fast enough rate to manage application growth Application Growth 18,047 total FA applications received for 85% increase over Pell Awards $17 million in Federal Pell awards paid for 127% increase over Staff Staffing resources are not growing at a fast enough rate to manage application growth
9
Why we did it Regulatory Changes/Economic Factors Student Experience
Percentage of applications selected for verification is increasing faster than total volume increase (approximately 55%, up from about 45% average for several years) Increasing complexity of Pell regulations has decreased the ability to program automation Increasing diversity between state and federal general eligibility criteria Student Experience 6-8 week file review backlog becoming norm - creating problems for tuition loss, student service and negative impact to College staff Not intuitive process for students File review paperwork is dropped off, sits in piles and has to be imaged, then manipulated and re-printed in another system eConnect/MIL letter disconnect with File Review MIL letters only every 30 days
