Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)

The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is a document developed by 91ÇÑ×Ó that (1) includes a process identifying key issues emerging from institutional assessment, (2) focuses on learning outcomes and/or the environment supporting student learning and accomplishing the mission of the institution, (3) demonstrates institutional capability for the initiation, implementation, and completion of the QEP, (4) includes broad-based involvement of institutional constituencies in the development and proposed implementation of the QEP, and (5) identifies goals and a plan to assess their achievement (, 2019).

91ÇÑ×Ó initiated Panther PATHways as a focused effort to institute guided pathways and provide structured guidance and proactive, holistic support measures for all students at 91ÇÑ×Ó. 

The overarching goal of Panther PATHways is to improve attainment through access and enable a seamless transfer to a four-year institution and in-field job placement. This will be accomplished by reimagining academic advising practices and providing bundled and sequenced support in:

Preparing students for the path

Advising students on the path

Teaching students along the path

Helping students successfully complete the path
