Santa Barbara City College Student Equity Plan 2025-2028

The Santa Barbara City College 2025-2028 Student Equity Plan outlines a comprehensive roadmap to address and remove systemic barriers to student advancement and foster an equitable, inclusive, and supportive community. Building on lessons from the 2022-2025 plan, it focuses on six key metrics: Successful Enrollment, English and Math Completion, Transfer, Persistence, Completion, and Student Education Plans. The plan details strategies such as expanding data collection, personalized outreach, enhancing academic and socioemotional support, implementing Retention, Persistence, and Completion Coaches (RPCC), integrating culturally responsive pedagogy, and expanding equity-based professional development. It places an intensive focus on supporting First-Generation students and aims to eliminate disproportionate impact and close equity gaps for various student populations to achieve the college's vision of empowering individuals to transform the world.
