The USC University Center of Excellence in Developmental Disabilities at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (USC UCEDD) is one of 68 UCEDDs funded to promote systemic change, advocacy, and capacity building in states on behalf of individuals with, or at risk for, developmental, behavioral and/or special health care needs and their families. The USC UCEDD Webinar series is designed to educate the community about current policy issues which impact the lives of people we serve and their families. Our primary audience is individuals with special needs and their families. However, service providers, program managers, students in training and others are welcome as space allows. At this time, our webinars are in English only. We are exploring methods to make this series available in other languages in the future.

“SSSP integrates student and instructional services to promote institutional responsibility and accountability for
student success.”

How SSSP Relates to Access & Equity on California Community College Campuses
Coordination between SSSP and Student Equity
Equity focuses on improving access, course completion, ESL, basic skills completion and obtainment of degrees, certificates and transfer for all students, particularly for disadvantaged students
The SSSP focuses on providing the 4 Core Services for all students
How SSSP Relates to Access & Equity on California Community College Campuses
Compiled Knowledge for Student Success Compiled knowledge is a combination of theoretical and heuristic knowledge.
Theoretical Knowledge: ◦ conventional and/or formal learning obtained through
coursework
Heuristic Knowledge: ◦ Campus-based knowledge (i.e. w/d dates, FAFSA
deadlines availability, how to obtain tutoring)
How SSSP Relates to Access & Equity on California Community College Campuses
Purpose of Student Equity
To close the achievement gaps in access and success in underrepresented student groups
To provide resources for colleges to make data-driven decisions that align campus-wide services and activities to
reduce barriers to success and completion
To align student services and instructional services with a common goal, student success and completion
To fulfill the mission of community college: that of goal completion, transfer, and employment.
