Implementing of Student Success Act
Increased focus on outcomes Students have 3 attempts at a course

Shared responsibility between instruction and student services, based on “evidenced-based” practices of what works.
Targets funding on core services, such as counseling and advising, through a broad array of service delivery mechanisms.

What is SSSP?

Common ?’s about Priority Registration
How to get itHow to keep itWhat and Why?When?What do I need to do?Wait! I’m on academic probation…Now what?
What and Why?
Changes to priority registration throughout the California Community Colleges system will help students get the courses they need to meet their educational goals
Priority registration will be given to students who work with a counselor to develop an education plan, succeed in their classes, and stay on track
LAMC Counseling and Student Services will be providing services to help students stay on track
When?
The new changes will take effect for the fall 2014 academic year
This means students will need to pay attention to what they are doing now so they can enjoy the benefits of priority registration in the future
What do I need to do?
Continuing StudentsCheck in with
counselor to develop an updated SEP
Maintain at least a 2.0 GPA.
Complete more than 50% of enrolled units each semester
Don’t accumulate more than 100 units by fall 2014
New StudentsComplete college
orientationComplete the
assessment processMeet with a counselor
to develop a SEPOnce students begin
their higher education journey maintain good academic standing.
Loss of Registration Priority
Registration priority shall be lost at the first registration appointment after a student:
1. Places in academic or progress probation
2. Has earned 100 units or more of degree applicable units
100 units does not include units from ESL or basic skills courses
Exemption Process
Districts may adopt policies to exempt from the 100-unit limit categories of students, including but not limited to, those enrolled in high unit majors or programs.
Districts may exempt from the 100-unit limit units earned through credit by examination, advanced placement, International Baccalaureate, or other similar programs.
Notification of Loss of Priority Registration
Beginning in the spring 2013 term, districts shall notify students who are placed on academic or progress probation, or who have earned 75 percent or more of the unit limit, of the potential for loss of enrollment priority.
The district shall notify the student that a second consecutive term on academic or progress probation will result in the loss of priority registration until the student is no longer on probation or that enrollment priority will be lost when the student reaches the unit limit.
Wait! I’m on academic probation…Now What?
If a student finds themselves on academic probation they should meet with a counselor ASAP to develop a game plan to get back on track to meeting their academic or career goals
Students may qualify for the appeal if they lose priority
Students will need to check with our Admissions office for more information on the appeal process
Some Special Considerations
Former and current foster youth California Works Opportunity and
Responsibility to Kids ProgramActive duty military and recent veterans will
continue to receive the highest priority as provided by California law as long as they meet the outlined requirements
EOPS and DSPS students who have completed orientation and assessment and have an educational plan in place will also receive high priority
The Reward
With this new priority registration system students who are making progress toward their goals will be rewarded for their efforts
If they stay focused on their goals they should be able to get the classes they need to succeed.
If students need further help understanding this process please call LAMC Counseling Department 818-364-7655 and make an appointment with a counselor today
