Question: Are there cross-sector data collaborations that would benefit student ease of entry, preparedness, persistence and CC completion?

What could this look like?

Shouldn’t the data between these systems flow one to the other?

Questions about student pipeline to CC

Do CC’s have early outreach?

Are there opportunities to coordinate assistance for underserved students?

Is there information, not currently captured, that would be helpful to CC & incoming students?

- individual needs and barriers

- achievements, interests

- work and/or WBL experience

- background story

- math and/or English proficiency level (pre-placement tests / at/below standard)

Would some sort of digital transfer or student-initiated contact be helpful to process?

Are there already systems in place for transferring records to SDCCD?
