6. REPORTS

6.1

FACULTY ASSOCIATION REPORT

Dr. John Whitmer, Faculty Association President, greeted the Board and provided the fol-lowing report: On the night after, so it was the best of times and the worst of times . . . Good news Propo-sition 55 passed by 62.1% and this bested Proposition 39 by 7 points. There was a big statewide effort in support of the propositions, there were over 4,000 phone calls made by CTA. Shasta College CTA made 1 out of 4 calls, or 1,000 calls – every vote counts. Bad news with Measure H, I think we could have done better. I hope that the Board will re-new its efforts. The biggest issue was trust and mention of past bonds as well. I hope that

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - 2 - NOVEMBER 9, 2016

we can work together starting tomorrow -- we have 2 years, to work together, to have open communication, and to build trust.

6.2 ACADEMIC SENATE REPORT

Ms. Cathy Anderson, Academic Senate President, greeted the Board and provided the fol-lowing report: The Honors Transfer Program was approved about a year ago. It entails that the faculty volunteer to offer a section of their course in Honors format to include more in depth re-search projects. We had classes scheduled, but it was a bit early to get enrollment. Jo-anne Tippin, the faculty coordinator, has been talking to high schools and getting positive feedback. There are 3 courses that will be designated with an “h” after the course name. The cours-es are English, Biology, and Public Speaking. To be certified, and to receive the benefits a student must have 15 course units with a 3.25 GPA. We think that this will be a success in the spring. Mr. Pierson asked if there are statewide or nationwide criteria? Ms. Anderson responded, no, the only statewide criteria are the 15 unit requirements.

6.3 CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES’ ASSOCIATION REPORT

Ms. Lisa Stearns, President of CSEA Chapter 381, was unable to attend the meeting. 6.4 STUDENT SENATE REPORT

Miss Emily Groth, Student Senate President, greeted the Board and provided the following report: Student Senate has been putting forth its efforts and support into various projects. We continue to grow having sworn in several new senators, and are excited for what the rest of the year has to offer.

1. Student Senate, PTK, Athletics, and the Welding club have all contributed to pur-chasing a mascot costume for use at Shasta College games and other events.

2. We are sending three senate members to the General Assembly held in Sacramen-to. This is a conference at the State level where community colleges meet to be trained on leadership and vote on legislation affecting junior college students. They leave tomorrow and will return Sunday night. At next month’s meeting, I will have a detailed report on the General Assembly and what the attendees took from this ex-perience.

3. Student Senate also organized the Costume Club Kickoff where it proved to be a success with 14 clubs present. We also held a contest amongst the clubs. Which-ever club had the best costumes won donuts at the next meeting of their choice. The Gay Straight Alliance members all dressed up as a color of the rainbow, which ultimately won them the contest.

4. With Christmas season approaching, Student Senate has organized the Giving Tree project. We are currently accepting applications for children to be adopted by a secret Santa.

5. Next Thursday, the campus will be smoke free in observance of the Great Ameri-can Smoke out. The gazebos will be closed, and Student Senate will hand out lolli-pops along with quit-kits in the quad. This event promotes student health and

9

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - 3 - NOVEMBER 9, 2016

awareness as well as making Shasta College eligible for a grant.

6. We had an important visitor at one of our recent meetings, Michael Pratt, a former Shasta College Student, who presides over the Chico State Student Body. Michael discussed a possible partnership.

Thank you everyone for your continued support of our organization and our efforts to improve student life.

6.5 BOARD MEMBER REPORTS

Mr. Pierson asked if there were any Board Member reports. Mr. Swendiman went to the jazz concert, and it was something to behold. My neighbors’ kid is in the orchestra, it was so good! There were both old and young community mem-bers. Mrs. Pratt attended the Ted Gaines’ pancake breakfast with Dr. Wyse. We got to make some comments. It was probably the best meeting that we have attended. As a trustee, we can attend the Excellence in Trustee program. I did this after Rhonda did it. When I finished, I did not want to go through submitting everything. Rhonda held my feet to the fire, and we got it done. Mr. Steinacher went to see To Kill a Mockingbird. It was a really good performance and great turnout. It was very professional and the staging was fabulous. Mr. Pierson went to TEDx. One of the faculty members, Heather Wiley, gave a good talk and represented the college well – a very interesting afternoon.

6.6 SUPERINTENDENT/PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Dr. Wyse said there are some good events coming up: A few events:

• Shasta College Pre-Symphony is November 13th at 3:15 in the theatre • Shasta College Choir is performing December 10th • Basketball season is starting on November 18-20 for the men and the women begin

on December 1st • Tonight, I went over and saw part of the last home game of volleyball • Tomorrow there is a soccer game and the last home football game is Saturday

Ms. Blanchier will send you the winter sport schedules. A quick update on the local bond. We have been crunching numbers all day, our numbers show that we are 324 votes short right now. We don’t know how many absentee ballots still need to be counted. We are just a little under the votes required right now, so we will see what happens. Congratulations to Mr. Swendiman – his race was not too close to call, it is not finalized, but he has the majority of the vote. I would like to thank Ms. Peggy Moore because this is her last board meeting. It has been wonderful having her back for the Fall. She has shared her wisdom and patience. Thank you Peggy.

10

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - 4 - NOVEMBER 9, 2016 6.7 INSTRUCTION REPORT Ms. Peggy Moore, Interim Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Instruction, greeted

the board and provided the following report: We are developing the hiring priorities for next year, and we will have those in soon. We are also working on evaluations – I have 4 Dean evaluations. We are also working on the spring schedule and my staff is amazing, looking at changes, hoping to keep that 3% in-crease up. I have really enjoyed myself, thank you for the opportunity to work with you again. My last day is the 8th of December.

6.8 STUDENT SERVICES REPORT Dr. Kevin O’Rorke, Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Student Services, greeted

the board and provided the following report: The monthly newsflash is in front of you. It is attached hereinto as Exhibit A. I would also like to express gratitude to Ms. Moore, every time we work together, I learn something new. A quick update on the regional collaborative. The presentation is attached hereinto as Exhibit B. About 7 years ago, Expect More Tehama was formed. Goals were set and they have started reaching those goals. This has been very productive, I am very impressed with the dedication of this group. A couple years later, Kate Mahar and I were in a meeting with schools and businesses – everyone was pointing fingers. There was a core group that decided that we could do something more. From this, Reach Higher Shasta was formed. The idea is that every stu-dent has every option. We wanted the student to choose what they wanted to do – and we made some changes in curriculum. For each grade, there are core indicators and contributing indicators. These are aligned across the levels of education. There are some very telling indicators, for example, planned prison space is based on the 3rd grade literacy level. From these efforts, we are already seeing results at Shasta College. We think it will be more effective if there is an organization in each county in the Northstate. Also, to support this, there is a need to have a regional hub to help with re-search and administrative support. This will facilitate the sharing of information and best practices across the organizations. A couple of years ago, Dr. Wyse asked that we build a stronger relationship with The McConnell Foundation and we have been working on this. We submitted this grant and it was approved by The McConnell Foundation as submitted. The grant is for $2.5 million over 3 years, and it was given to the Shasta College Foundation as the fiscal agent. We are working on getting the other 3 counties up and running. The McConnell Foundation did get a say on who will work on this – they selected Sharon Strazzo, Kate Mahar, and me. If we do it right, we will be able to attract national funders. We are one of the only rural areas participating in this type of initiative.

11

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - 5 - NOVEMBER 9, 2016

There are 87 school boards in these counties – I will be presenting at a lot of board meet-ings. The curriculum alignment is huge, and getting them to talk to each other and then to work with our faculty really helps. Shasta Union has done a great job working on the curriculum. Mr. Pierson said that the cartoon is too true. Well done.

6.9 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES REPORT Mr. Morris Rodrigue, Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of Administrative Services,

provided the following report: Budget to Actuals Take a look at the top, our target is at 25%, we are at 22% about 1% over where we were tracking last year. I would also like to thank Ms. Peggy Moore too, she is the one who lured me into admin-istration years ago . . . thank you Peggy.

7. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 7.1 MINUTES OF THE BOARD’S REGULAR MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 14, 2016 Mrs. Pratt said that I would like to move this item until later.

Dr. Lydon responded that I would rather see it finished and move on. Is there something specific you want to address? Mrs. Pratt said that when we put together the minutes, they should reflect what actually oc-curred. Andy and Will did their extended education report for the year – we should have some explanation on the interaction that occurred. That interaction should be noted. Dr. Lydon asked are there recordings of the presentations? Mrs. Pratt said that we could record these things. It is not a simple thing to do. I went back and looked at the Extended Education report on August 18th in 2010. There was 4 pages of explanation to go along with the Power Point. Mr. Pierson said there is a tradeoff to having recordings. Mrs. Pratt said that I am not asking them to be verbatim, but to be clear on what is said. Dr. Lydon asked, do you have a proposal of how or who? Mrs. Pratt said she would like it to be recorded. Dr. Lydon said, so you want a transcript. Mrs. Pratt said that we used to record them, I don’t want them to be verbatim, but accurate. Dr. Lydon said, can I finish my question? Mrs. Pratt responded that I was just copying you.

12

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - 6 - NOVEMBER 9, 2016

Dr. Lydon said that the item before us is a specific item. Let’s talk about what to do with this item. If you want to talk about the process, let’s put it on the agenda and the Board can talk about it then. Mrs. Pratt said that I want to deal with these minutes. Mr. Pierson asked, do we have a motion to approve these minutes? Mrs. Pratt said that I would like to make an explanation in lieu of a correction. Mr. Pierson said that I think we need to talk about it later. It was moved by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Steinacher TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD’S REGULAR MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 14, 2016. The matter passed 5-0, Mr. Pierson and Mr. Swendiman abstained, and the Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative.

7.2 MINUTES OF THE BOARD’S REGULAR MEETING HELD OCTOBER 12, 2016

The matter passed 7-0, and the Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative.

8. CONSENT/ACTION AGENDA

Mrs. Pratt said on page 92, the monthly contract report, I want to ask this for the whole group of consent agenda contracts. Are we consistently getting 3 bids for the contract? Mr. Rodrigue responded that it depends on the contract and the price point. We have a Business Office procedure, if it is under $5,000 we can have one quote. If it is over $5,000 and up to $87,000, then we will need to have 3 quotes. For purchases over $87,000, it re-quires a formal bid process. The Business Office verifies that everyone has followed pro-cedures. Mrs. Pratt asked about the 8th one down, the Nepris contract. Ms. Jimenez, Dean of Economic Workforce Development, responded that it is an online service. Many teachers would like guest speakers to come into their classrooms, but have a hard time finding the guest speakers. This organization streams in speakers so that they can present to the classes in an interactive manner. They have thousands of speakers available. Mrs. Pratt asked, how long is it for? Ms. Jimenez responded, it is for a year. Mrs. Pratt asked what is our coverage for the marketing of $11,000? Dr. Wyse responded that it targets the people using Pandora in our area. Mrs. Pratt asked about the Seth Hope contract? Ms. Jimenez responded that it is tied to Reach Higher Shasta. It is a service to connect local schools to local businesses; where our faculties can request local speakers and internships. They are working on approaching 100-150 businesses in the next 3 weeks.

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - 7 - NOVEMBER 9, 2016

9.3 BOARD APPROVAL FOR NEW COURSES

Ms. Moore said that these courses have been through the curriculum committee and sen-ate. Most are nursing and health.

9.5 INNOVATION AWARD PLANNING GRANT

Dr. Wyse said that the state budget has $25 million for innovation awards, similar to the $50 million that they had 2 years ago. This year, only community colleges are allowed to apply. The College Futures Foundation helped us with a small grant last time, and they are interested in helping us again. Mrs. Pratt asked why it says other campus initiatives? Dr. Wyse said that we had to keep it broad, because it has not yet been well-define. But it could include programs like BOLD or ACE. It was moved by Mr. Steinacher and seconded by Dr. Lydon TO APPROVE THIS GRANT PROPOSAL AND AUTHORIZE ACCEPTANCE OF THE FUNDS SHOULD SHASTA COLLEGE BE SELECTED TO RECEIVE THIS GRANT AWARD. The matter passed 7-0, and the Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative.

9.6 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDER EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS

Ms. Moore said I will turn it over to Ms. Jimenez, this is very exciting. Ms. Jimenez said that there were 13 beta colleges selected last year. We had a team for adaptability, resilience, and collaboration. They put together 10 modules so that we could roll them out and integrate them. They were monitored and the outcomes were analyzed. They were happy with the results and they would like to roll it out to 30 colleges. We feel like we have a good opportunity to be the face behind the world of work. Mrs. Pratt asked, what are beta colleges? Ms. Jimenez responded that they are the col-leges that test the new curriculum. It was moved by Mr. Steinacher and seconded by Mr. Miller TO APPROVE THIS GRANT PROPOSAL AND AUTHORIZE ACCEPTANCE OF THE FUNDS SHOULD SHASTA COLLEGE BE SELECTED TO RECEIVE THIS GRANT AWARD.

15

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - 9 - NOVEMBER 9, 2016

submitted was incorrect and it has been replaced with the correct information. Dr. O’Rorke said that we were pleased to learn that the Department of Education funded our TRiO program. Mrs. Pratt asked why are there so few high schools with such a big grant? Dr. O’Rorke re-sponded that Upward Bound serves a lower number of students, it is high touch, they live in the dorms. College Options also covers some of the other schools. Mrs. Pratt asked how were the schools chosen? Dr. O’Rorke responded that some are based on school demographics, and some are based on coordination with College Op-tions, and some schools we have long-standing relationships. It was moved by Mr. Steinacher and seconded by Ms. Nehr TO APPROVE THIS GRANT PROPOSAL AND AUTHORIZE ACCEPTANCE OF THE FUNDS SHOULD SHASTA COLLEGE BE SELECTED TO RECEIVE THIS GRANT AWARD. The matter passed 7-0, and the Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative.

9.8 ADULT EDUCATION BLOCK GRANT CONSORTIA PARTICIPATING MEMBER/

SUB-CONTRACTING PARTNER AGREEMENTS

Mr. Rodrigue said as part of the Adult Education Block Grant, we are the fiscal agent, so we have to have contracts to pass through funds to the partners. Mrs. Pratt asked if Mountain Valley Unified is in Hayfork. Yes, it is. Mrs. Pratt asked what is Southern Valley? Is it Bridgeville? Or Burnt Ranch? And what is Trinity Alps Unified? Is that the school where there is an alternative education school? Ms. Anderson responded that it is in Hayfork and there is a small high school there. Southern Trinity is in Mad River. It was moved by Mrs. Pratt and seconded by Mr. Steinacher TO APPROVE AND/OR RATIFY THE AGREEMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE ADULT EDUCATION BLOCK GRANT FUNDS TO CONSORTIA MEMBERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GRANT REQUIREMENTS. The matter passed 7-0, and the Student Trustee advisory vote was af-firmative.

9.9 INCOME AND EXPENDITURES – CASH BASIS

Mr. Rodrigue said that this is the standard report for your approval. The ending cash bal-ance is very good for funds 11 and 12. The dispersion of financial aid can be seen, it is good to have this getting out to the students. It was moved by Mr. Swendiman and seconded by Mr. Steinacher TO APPROVE THE INCOME AND EXPENDITURES-CASH BASIS FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER 2016. The matter passed 7-0, and the Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative.

9.10 QUARTERLY FINANCIAL REPORT

Mrs. Pratt said can I blow you a kiss? This is the first time that I can read it. Mr. Rodrigue responded that this is nothing that we did – we just marked no on question VII – Does the District have significant fiscal problems that must be addressed? We usual-ly have to give an explanation there and it all gets squeezed in. We have budgeted 7150 FTEs and I am confident that we will exceed this with the spring semester. I believe that we will hit our cap set in 2013 and even obtain some growth. We could potentially hit up to

16

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - 10 - NOVEMBER 9, 2016

$1 million of additional budget. It could change next quarter. We have the budget workshop in January and we will have a better idea. Dr. Whitmer said Proposition 55 passed; this will help sustain the funding. This extends the funding out for 12 years. Some of the projections assumed that the Proposition would not pass. It is nice for once to be able to check NO to this question. Mrs. Pratt said that in the Excellence in Trusteeship information it said we could ask for a summary of the annual report. Mr. Rodrigue responded that we have those on file and we can make copies for you. It was moved by Mrs. Pratt and seconded by Ms. Nehr TO ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THE 2016-2017 FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL STATUS REPORT IN COMPLIANCE WITH EDUCATION CODE SECTION 84040.3. The matter passed 7-0, and the Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative.

9.11 APPROVAL OF REVISIONS TO STUDENT FEE SCHEDULE

Mr. Rodrigue said that every time we do this, we always find things that pop up. There was an error, in the last student health services fee it was $16.00 and it should be $18.00. Dr. Lydon asked why are we adding an additional fee to the $139.00. Mr. Rodrigue re-sponded that we just cleaned up the comments, the fee stays the same. Mrs. Pratt asked why do some of the fees have ranges? Mr. Rodrigue said that I would have to investigate a bit more on that. Dr. Lydon said that it could be for drug testing, it would depend on the bid for the drug test. Mr. Rodrigue added that when a student takes an exam, we pass along the fee from the company. It was moved by Mr. Steinacher and seconded by Dr. Lydon TO APPROVE THE MODI-FIED STUDENT FEE SCHEDULE FOR SPRING 2017. The matter passed 7-0, and the Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative.

9.12 DONATION OF SHASTA COLLEGE BABY GRAND PIANO

It was moved by Mr. Steinacher and seconded by Mr. Swendiman TO AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO DONATE THE BABY GRAND PIANO TO THE ANDERSON UNION HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAM AS PRESENTED. The matter passed 7-0, and the Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative.

9.13 AUTHORIZATION TO DISPOSE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY

Mr. Rodrigue said that one of the things in the contracts is that we have bought new vans. This is a disposal of an old food services van, they are happy to see it go, and we would like it to go. It was moved by Mr. Swendiman and seconded by Mr. Steinacher TO AUTHORIZE THE ADMINISTRATION TO DISPOSE OF THE SURPLUS PROPERTY AS SUBMITTED. The matter passed 7-0, and the Student Trustee advisory vote was affirmative.

—NORTH STATE TOGETHER—

A few years ago, we made it a goal to build a stronger relationship with the McConnell Foundation. We started by providing leadership to the Reach Higher Shasta Executive Committee, which has been working throughout Shasta County to enhance career and educational options for students in our area. The success of that group, as well as their counterpart in Tehama County - Expect More Tehama - has led to the desire to replicate these groups in other North State counties, with a centralized hub providing data and administrative support. We are pleased to share the good news that the McConnell Foundation will be providing funding for a three-year plan to spearhead a Regional Collaborative (“North State Together”), which will serve as a backbone organization to the Shasta, Tehama, Trinity, Siskiyou and Modoc county regions. This regional hub will be initially spearheaded by our own employees: Kevin O’Rorke will be serving as the Executive Director, Kate Mahar will be providing research and data support, and Sharon Strazzo will be providing administrative support.

Common Assessment / Multiple Measures

Assessment Project: With the scheduled sunset of the Compass assessment at the end of November, the District will use multiple measures transcript based assessment to place students into English courses until the implementation of the statewide Common Assessment. The college will continue to serve as a pilot in the statewide Multiple Measures Assessment Project (MMAP). MMAP decision rules provide a research-validated basis for placement. A local study to be published by our Research and Planning Department indicates that this placement method is promising.

CCSSE (Community College Survey of Student

Engagement): Last spring, the district participated in the national Community College Survey of Student Engagement. The Research and Planning Department is reviewing the data and planning to share results through campus focus groups.

Online Education Initiative (OEI): Shasta College

serves as a pilot in the Online Education Initiative (OEI). The OEI is a collaborative effort among California Community Colleges (CCCs) to ensure that significantly more students are able to complete their educational goals by increasing both access to and success in high-quality online courses. The Course Exchange component of the Online Education Initiative (OEI) will provide a seamless pathway for students to register for online courses across participating colleges without requiring students to complete separate application and matriculation processes. Through the Course Exchange, students who cannot get the courses they need at their home college will be able to enroll in them at another college (teaching college) that has available seats in the equivalent course via a streamlined registration process at their home college. The first phase will begin in the Spring 2017 registration period.

The Shasta College Outreach Team will feature a new recruiting tool in its Fall 2017 campaign.

—GLOBAL EDUCATION CENTER—

The Office of Student Life is extraordinarily excited to be the new home for the Global Education Center. This cen-ter will be the informational hub for various programs offered at Shasta College. This includes the International Student Program which allows individuals from all over the world to study at Shasta College; the 1+2+2 Initia-tive/CPP Program which is an agreement to establish Educational Pathways between SUHSD and Shasta Col-lege for Chinese and Vietnamese students to have access to language proficiency testing, F-1 visas, and conditional admission to study at Shasta College after high school course completion; the Semester Abroad Exchange Pro-gram which is an exchange collaboration with Soon-chunhyang University in South Korea and the Global Ex-pedition Program which is a study abroad opportunity that partners with Operation Wallacea and combines four courses with the exciting opportunity to apply those concepts in international locations. Keith Brookshaw has spent approximately one month traveling to Japan, Thailand, China and Myanmar to re-cruit international students to Shasta College. This year’s Global Expedition will be taking place in South Africa from July 21—August 4, 2017, focusing on field bi-ology and field geography. Students can apply for the expedition through the Global Education Center and reg-ister for the course offerings through Admissions and Records.

—STUDENT LIFE—

Student Senate and many clubs/organizations have taken an active role in educating fellow students and the com-munity on Measure H. They have also been registering people to vote each day in the quad. We are gearing up for Final Exam Jam Week (formerly Cram Week). Student Life will be sponsoring cookies, coffee and free scantrons Monday through Thursday of that week in the 2300 hallway. We will also be sponsoring hot chocolate, cornhole, chair massages, and an instru-mental group on the Student Center Stage on Wednes-day. Student Senate will be sending three students to General Assembly on November 10 – 13, 2016. General Assembly is a conference for statewide student senate members to discuss and vote on whether to support legislative affairs directly affecting students. International Thanksgiving Dinner is again being spon-sored by the Office of Student Life. While our interna-tional students receive special invitations, everyone is invited to attend this year's International Thanksgiving Dinner. It will be held Thursday, November 17th at 6:00 pm on the Student Center Stage. Please help our interna-tional students feel like they have a home away from home and celebrate good food and conversation. If you can donate a potluck item it would be greatly appreciat-ed. Giving Tree applications are now available. If you have students with children who might not otherwise have a Christmas, please have them come in to our office to fill out an application. As soon as we accumulate giving tree applications we will be coming around to ask for Secret Santas. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make someone’s Christmas an amazing one!!

—FINANCIAL AID—

The Financial Aid Office implemented a plan to catch up on processing last month, and it has been successfully com-pleted. We are now current in processing for 2016/17 FAFSAs. The Financial Aid Staff have been attending the Cash For College nights at local high schools to assist fami-lies and students in submitting the early 2017/18 FAFSA. A few reminders on the 2017/18 FAFSA are to be noted: 1) They were released on 10/1/2016 and can be found at: https://fafsa.ed.gov/ & 2) Use your 2015 income. These changes are to encourage students to apply early for the 2017/18 academic year and to provide plenty of time to decide which college is the best fit for the student. Using the 2015 year’s income will allow more students and par-ents to use the Data Retrieval Tool within the FAFSA to verify income, which we highly encourage. If there are any unusual financial circumstances that occur for a student and/or parent from 2015, 2016 or 2017, a student can submit an Unusual Financial Circumstance Form for eligi-bility considerations. A few important deadlines that are approaching: 11/7/2016: Fall 2016 Scholarship Deadline (apply now at: www.shastacollege.edu/fa_scholarships) and 11/4/2016: a student who is attending Fall 2016 only must submit all loan documents by 11/4/2016 close of business if interest-ed in a student loan. Fall 2016/Spring 2017 full year loan application deadline is 4/1/2017. For more information on student loans please visit: www.shastacollege.edu/fa_loans. If you have questions please contact us at 530-242-7700. We would also like to highlight our three new Student Suc-cess Facilitators that have joined our team this month.
