Mcc Instructional Office Quality Indicator Report
The document outlines key performance measures (KPM) and quality indicators (QI) for student access, student success, and community success. It focuses on strategies to develop new programs, increase enrollment (particularly among underserved populations and at new facility sites), and enhance concurrent enrollment opportunities. Success is measured by retention, persistence, transfer, and graduation rates, as well as faculty ratings and participation in professional development. Community success involves monitoring program relevancy, tracking employment outcomes, and maintaining active engagement with economic and cultural development organizations. Operational effectiveness is addressed through increased resource allocation, improved recruitment, and employee satisfaction initiatives.
