CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING

Motion: Commissioner Atwell moved and Commissioner Bodine seconded a motion to approve the minutes of the April 16, 2015 meeting. Motion passed unanimously. ORGANIZATIONS AND ALLIANCES 1. WY Association of Community College Trustees (WACCT): President Walter Wragge introduced Erin Taylor, the new Executive Director for WACCT. The board has agreed to use part of their reserves

to assist in the cost of the economic impact study. They approved a budget of $159,000 for the coming year, including funds for additional training for the trustees. Erin Taylor noted the importance of the community colleges participating in meetings such as the Joint Education Interim Committee, the digital information passport task force, and the Joint Appropriations Interim Committee. WACCT is working on information the trustees can use as they help advocate stable funding. They will try to involve UW in conversations going forward on topics relating to them. Commissioner Lovercheck asked the college system to recognize the importance of developing linkage with UW and how it relates to our student success initiative. This is a good opportunity to inform UW of the colleges’ needs as UW develops its College of Education Initiative and strategic plan. 2. Wyoming Department of Education (WDE): Brent Bacon, Chief Academic Officer for WDE, gave an update of the conferences and meetings the WDE has been involved in and invited everyone to join their Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) conference to be held at Sheridan College Aug 3-5. 3. President’s Council: Council President Dr. Young said he and Dr. Rose met with the governor to talk about creating excitement in high schools for technology. As part of the governor’s initiative, the colleges will assist in hosting STEM competitions for high school students around the state. The presidents are working with Dr. Rose and commission staff on a computing initiative and the President’s Council has endorsed the college Chief Information Officer’s recommendation to move forth on those improvements. 4. WY Faculty Alliance: Faculty Senate Chair Heidi Edmunds, EWC participated by phone but did not have anything to report for this meeting. 5. Wyoming PBS (WPBS): Bob Connelly, Assistant General Manager at WPBS, presented for Ruby Calvert. He played a tribute recorded by Governor Mead for Ms. Calvert’s retirement party. Terry Dugas has been hired as the new General Manager. 6. Complete College Wyoming (CCW) – Kathy Dolan presented on behalf of Dr. Jackie Freeze. Recent activity includes a meeting with the governor giving him a progress report on the CCW initiative. They discussed the success of the math initiatives going on around the state. They also updated him on the guided pathway program, articulation agreements with UW, the 2+2 programs, and the working paper on college readiness. They continue to work on marketing efforts. Metrics have been finalized and they will have data from all colleges by June 30 to be entered into a dashboard to be used to measure progress going forward. WPBS will start a three part series this fall on how important it is to have skilled workers in the state of Wyoming. Their 2015-2016 goals include publication of the first on-line dashboard, participation in a fall completion day, and involvement of the K-12 partners more fully regarding student success. Commissioner Lovercheck asked the colleges to add student success stories on the website. PROGRAMS AND REQUESTS 1. Casper College – Process Technology: Dr. Rose asked Dr. Leach from WWCC to provide additional information regarding this program request as the governor had requested it and WWCC has already established a similar program. She said in 2013, the colleges were contacted by the Governor's Office to facilitate safety training specifically designed for the refining industry. LCCC, Casper, and Western developed an updated Process Technology program in collaboration with members of Wyoming-based refineries. This application by Casper College is the second degree program request with LCCC taking the lead in development and launch of the credit programs. Western currently offers these programs through Workforce Development and the Carbon County Higher Education Center and as elective courses in the Oil and Gas Production Technology, Industrial Maintenance, and Compression Technology Associate Degree programs. Dr. McCann said this is a good example of the pilot program process. This program allowed a quick response by the colleges to industry needs.

Motion: Commissioner Sweeny moved and Commissioner Brown seconded a motion to approve the Process Technology Certificate program as presented from Casper College. Motion passed

unanimously. 2. Northwest College – Pilot Equine Riding and Training Certificate, with options for emphasis on training or riding. Dr. Hicswa explained the program, saying they are separating their current program to better communicate to employers the difference between expertise in training and riding. Commissioner Sweeny asked why there are not more business training classes within this program since people will be running their own programs. Dr. Hicswa said this was not identified as a need from their advisory board but they will look into adding some during the pilot process. NWC has had this program for a while and it has always been very well enrolled. This pilot program is repackaging an existing program that includes both an associates degree and certificate in equestrian studies. UPDATES AND REPORTS Report from Casper College faculty and students on tuition freeze – Casper College students Lorraine Carver, Justin Way, and Austin Dudley presented their findings on how a tuition freeze would impact students’ perceived ability to complete. They discussed their understanding of a tuition freeze, the sources used for research, the parameters used in the survey, the target population, and the methodology. Results of their study show other variables are more important than a tuition guarantee. Perceived completion is affected by scholarships, amount of tuition rate increases, and whether payment is out of pocket or through student loans. A tuition guarantee is not associated with the perceived ability to complete. They suggested although difficult to implement, a tuition guarantee could have other positive effects. Conversation took place on the commission’s tuition policy and Representative Rosie Berger was asked to provide input on what the legislature would like to see in regards to tuition and the share students should carry. Representative Berger suggested each of the colleges discuss this with their representatives, their communities, and their students one-on-one. The colleges must make their product valuable and worthy of its price tag. Commissioner Lovercheck reminded the commissioners over 50% of students do not have access to Hathaway scholarships and WY has no need-based scholarships for older students. CONSIDERATION OF COMMISSION RULES Chapter 1 definitions Chapter 3 residency requirements Chapter 5 section 7 WyIN changes Chapter 5 section 12 SARA Dr. Rose discussed rules stating the only item changed since the April meeting is the section on residency requirements, now written to mirror UW requirements. He said it is possible we will need to include the entire UW Regulation 8-1 in rules, but will not know until later in the process. Judy Hay, VP of Student Services at LCCC said each college is interpreting rules in a different manner but they support the proposed changes. The Student Services Council will create a document explaining how to interpret residency and provide a common appeals process. UW will be included in the discussion. Commissioner Dooley asked how High School Equivalency Certificate recipients are addressed and Dr. Rose said they were intentionally left out so those students will need to meet other requirements within UW Regulation 8-1.

Motion: Commissioner Sweeny moved and Commissioner Atwell seconded a motion to approve emergency rules for chapters 1, 3, and 5 as presented in the packet. Motion passed unanimously.

Motion: Commissioner Sweeny moved and Commissioner Atwell seconded a motion to approve draft regular rules for chapters 1, 3, and 5 as presented in the packet. Motion passed unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF 2017-18 BIENNIAL BUDGET REQUEST Matt Petry discussed the exception requests presented in the packets. He stated we do not have all the information yet to run the final allocation model but the numbers will not change significantly so the commissioners can prioritize the requests now. Mr. Petry explained the state aid exception options stating the commissioners need to decide if they want to present a request based on enrollment growth and methodology used in the past or present a request based on recalibration of the base period to 2013-2014. Within those two options, they will also need to decide if they wish to include external cost adjustments (ECAs) or not. By choosing the recalibration option, we would be asking permission to reset the base period and have the governor and legislature formally recognize this in a permanent way. We would recalibrate the base period every four years and would not ask for enrollment growth during that time. Mr. Petry addressed questions from commissioners on the calculation of the different option amounts and past funding. Commissioner Lovercheck pointed out option b (recalibration) is in line with what we are asking from the legislature. Dr. Rose added we are trying to preserve a process in how we establish the funding amount. The most important part is receiving stable funding and building it into the standard budget. The next part is to establish the process on how we will recalibrate going forward. Dr. Rose also suggested we do not ask for ECAs in this request since the colleges are usually included when the legislature considers ECAs. He recommended we request $16,552,612 to be recalibrated on a 4yr basis. This amount is a product of enrollment that has already happened and costs already incurred. The legislature may want to fund a different amount and we can use that as leverage to obtain stability on how we recalibrate. Motion: Commissioner Brown moved and Commissioner Atwell seconded a motion for recalibration of the base enrollment period to academic years 2013 and 2014 without a 2.2% annual external cost adjustment, which increases the standard budget for 2019-2020, with further clarification of the actual amount to be done upon receipt of the complete data. Motion passed unanimously. Dr. Rose recommended and the commissioners agreed not to consider an exception request for health insurance since the budget division is currently projecting more funding than we have calculated we need. Mr. Petry explained item f of the exception request spreadsheet included in the packet is for support of the administrative computing system we provide to the colleges. Item g is for hardware due to be upgraded this biennium and to provide training opportunities to Information Technology staff. Item h is the low end of the range of the recommendation from Dynamic Campus in the work they did on our data management and reporting needs. This is an important item in that it will allow the colleges to address their needs for the Statewide Longitudinal Data System (SLDS). Item I is for a ¾ full time equivalent employee to assist with the adult education program due to changes in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act. Commissioner Sweeny asked for Dr. Rose’s recommendation and he suggested the order of prioritization should be:

1. b 2. f 3. g 4. h 5. i.

Motion: Commissioner Atwell moved and Commissioner Sweeny seconded a motion for approval of items f, g, h, and i, in priority order behind item b. Motion passed unanimously.

During the discussion on the Wyoming Public Television budget request, Dr. Valdez asked for an opportunity for the CWC Board of Trustees to reconsider their requests in light of Dr. Rose’s recommendation not to ask for ECAs.

Motion: Commissioner Sweeny moved and Commissioner Lovercheck seconded a motion to move forward the Wyoming Public Television exception budget request, subject to any modifications brought forth by the CWC Board of Trustees, as presented. Motion passed unanimously. Commission Chair Meyer recessed the meeting for lunch. Motion: Commissioner Bodine moved and Commissioner Dooley seconded a motion to reconvene the executive session to continue discussion on personnel issues. Motion passed unanimously. No action was taken. Motion: Commissioner Lovercheck moved and Commissioner Bodine seconded a motion to adjourn the executive session at 12:58 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. UPDATE FROM EXECUTIVE SESSION The commissioners appreciate Dr. Rose and he will continue in his role as Executive Director. CONSIDERATION OF CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION PRIORITIZATION AND AUTHORIZATIONS The Capcon model generated a priority list of construction projects as follows:

1. LCCC Fine and Performing Arts Center 2. LCCC Learning Commons 3. WWCC Western Education Center 4. CC Ranch Campus Multi-purpose Arena

Motion: Commissioner Bodine moved and Commissioner Atwell seconded a motion to accept the projects as submitted. Motion passed unanimously. Dr. Leach suggested priority measure #9 be reconsidered as a factor because it is so arbitrary. Larry Buchholtz explained this measure asks the colleges to rate how their projects relate to the statewide strategic plan. The Administrative Services Council can consider removal of this item in the next evaluation of the model. Commissioner Brown suggested a set schedule for reviewing the model. 2. Authorization of self-funded capital construction projects: LCCC Child Development Center LCCC Residence Hall, Ph1 NWCCD 200 Bed Residence Hall Motion: Commissioner Bodine moved and Commissioner Sweeny seconded a motion to approve the LCCC Child Development Center and Residence Hall Ph1, and NWCCD 200 Bed Residence Hall. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Buchholtz provided information on the major maintenance request to be included in A&I’s budget. Estimates from the capcon model based on replacement value are as follows: 1.25% = $13.2M 1.5% = $15.9M 1.75% = $18.6M 2.0% =$21.2M

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR‘S REPORT

1. Joint Education Interim Committee – Dr. Rose said he presented in collaboration with the Wyoming Department of Education and the Governor’s office on the skills gap and what is being done about it across the education spectrum. Dr. Rose also presented the Dynamic Campus needs assessment for his report on SLDS.

2. Joint Appropriations Interim Committee – Dr. Rose feels the meeting went very well. He appreciates the ground work Representative Berger laid for us during the last session.

3. Revision to Table 2, Enrollment Report – This is aligning us with the federal data system and the age groups they use.

4. WACCT is supporting the effort to enlist EMSI to do a statewide economic impact analysis. They will also do a gap analysis on what programs are offered, what the state’s workforce needs are and where gaps exist. The commission will contribute $60,000, WACCT will contribute $60,000 and the colleges will contribute the remaining $60,000.

OTHER BUSINESS Dr. Rose said the October 30 commission meeting conflicts with the Joint Education Interim Committee meeting at which we are likely to be asked to be present. The WCCC meeting was moved to October 20, with a retreat on October 19. ADJOURNMENT Motion: Commissioner Sweeny moved and Commissioner Brown seconded a motion to adjourn the meeting at 1:35p.m. Motion passed unanimously.

WYOMING COMMUNITY COLLEGE COMMISSION MEETING

August 12, 2015

Teleconference The August 12, 2015 Commission teleconference was called to order by Commission Chair Saundra Meyer at 11:00 a.m. Commissioners present in person or by phone: Commission Chair Saundra Meyer, Commissioners Larry Atwell, Bruce Brown, Katherine Dooley, Sherri Lovercheck, and Wendy Sweeny. Commissioner Charlene Bodine was not present. Commission staff present: Executive Director Jim Rose, Deputy Director and Chief Financial Officer Matt Petry, Programs Team Leader Joe McCann, Fiscal Team Manager Larry Buchholtz, and Administrative Services Manager Claire Smith. A roll call was taken. A quorum was present. Due notice had been published.

Motion: Commissioner Atwell moved and Commissioner Sweeny seconded a motion to approve the agenda. Motion passed unanimously.

CONSIDERATION OF 2017-2018 BIENNIAL BUDGET REQUEST

Matt Petry explained the revisions needed to the exception requests approved by the commissioners at the June 26, 2015 meeting.

Base Period Recalibration: Part of the calculation for state aid uses actual college district local revenue to calculate the revenue per credit hour, which then determines the amount for the recalibration request. Colleges did not have final local revenue amounts until early July. The revision in the funding allocation model when actual numbers were entered resulted in a $40 rounding difference. The exception request for base period recalibration should now be $16,552,652 rather than the previously approved $16,552,612.

College Administrative Computing System Maintenance: This revision is due to a differing interpretation between the budget division and Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) on computer maintenance. ETS requires maintenance requests larger than $200,000 to be presented as a business case. The budget division views maintenance as an ongoing cost and included in our standard budget the same amount we received for BFY15. The maintenance amount needed for 2017/2018 is $256,825 less than the BFY15 standard appropriation amount of $2,134,046. Therefore the $1,877,221 exception request approved on June 26 should be replaced with a negative exception request of ($256,825). The negative exception request will reduce the standard appropriation already included in the budget down to the amount needed of $1,877,221.

Data Management and Analytical Reporting Needs: This exception request was approved for $3,950,000 and represented the high end of the range estimated by Dynamic Campus in their needs analysis. ETS is

2

not likely to approve the high end of the range and we have approximately $460,000 carryover funds from BFY13 that can be used for this purpose. The exception request should be revised to $3,450,000.

WY Public Television-External Cost Adjustments (ECAs): The Central Wyoming College Board of Trustees voted to remove their request for ECAs to be consistent with the approach taken for the colleges.

Motion: Commissioner Atwell moved and Commissioner Brown seconded a motion to approve the revised budget as reflected in the memorandum from Matt Petry dated August 4, 2015 and made part of these minutes. Motion passed unanimously. Motion: Commissioner Sweeny moved and Commissioner Dooley seconded a motion to adjourn. Motion passed unanimously.

Wyoming Community College SystemSpring 2015 Enrollment Report

This report provides a look at the Spring 2015 term's enrollment in categories such as student load, location and demographics of the community college student population. The content and format of this report have been developed through a collaborative effort between the Wyoming Community College Commission and the Institutional Research Council members representing the seven community colleges. Most of the tables relay data that have been tracked by both of the aforementioned entities for over 14 years.

The enrollment reports continue to evolve as new data sets are needed to meet federal mandates, as well as to meet current requirements of the state and community colleges.

Pertinent information to keep in mind while reading this report includes the following:

- Data in this report represent student enrollment the day after 12% of each course had been completed.

- Student headcount in this report includes students who are enrolled for a letter grade, pass/fail designation as well as those who are auditing a course.

- Full-time designation is achieved by being enrolled in a minimum of twelve (12) credit hours in one semester.

-“Full-time equivalency means the number of approved academic or vocational-technical credit hours for each class for which students are enrolled divided by twelve (12)”. W.S. 21-18-102 (a)(xii).

- "Duplicated headcount" means that within a survey or polling exercise of numerous programs and/or courses, a student may be counted more than once. WCCC Rules -2013

-"Unduplicated headcount” means that within a survey or polling exercise of numerous programs and/or courses, a student shall be counted only once. WCCC Rules -2013

Wyoming Community College System 2014-2015Annual Enrollment Report

Introduction

This report provides an annual look at the summer 2014, fall 2014 and spring 2015 terms’ enrollment in categories such as enrollment status, location and demographics of the community college student population. The content and format of this report have been developed through a collaborative effort between the Wyoming Community College Commission (WCCC) and the Institutional Research Council members representing the seven community colleges. Most of the tables relay data that have been tracked by both of the aforementioned entities for over 14 years.

Pertinent information to keep in mind while reading this report include the following:

- The annualized totals are calculated by the nationally recognized method of adding the summer, spring and fall semesters together and then dividing the total in half. - Student headcount in this report includes students who are enrolled for a letter grade, pass/fail designation, as well as those who are auditing a course.- Full-time designation is achieved by being enrolled in a minimum of twelve (12) credit hours in one semester. - “Full-time equivalency means the number of approved academic or vocational-technical credit hours for each class for which students are enrolled divided by twelve (12)”. W.S. 21-18-102 (a)(xii). - "Duplicated headcount" means that within a survey or polling exercise of numerous programs and/or courses, a student may be counted more than once. WCCC Rules -2013 - "Unduplicated headcount” means that within a survey or polling exercise of numerous programs and/or courses, a student shall be counted only once. WCCC Rules -2013

For additional discussion regarding this report, please refer to the WCCC meeting minutes dated ______________ located on the Commission's website: http://communitycolleges.wy.edu/commission-meetings.aspx .

WYOMING COMMUNITY COLLEGE ACCREDITATION ACTIVITY JULY 1, 2014 – JUNE 30, 2015

This summary is provided in compliance with W.S. 21-18-202(e)(i), which requires the Community College Commission to “report the findings of institutional and specialized accreditation studies.” Because continued North Central Association – Higher Learning Commission (HLC) institutional accreditation is reaffirmed for various periods of time and institutions applied for candidacy at various times in the past, each of the Wyoming community colleges is at a different phase of the on-going regional accreditation process. A Higher Learning Commission regional accreditation schedule is provided on page six. A schedule for specialized program accreditation status begins on page seven. Each Wyoming community college has two or more programs with program accreditation agency affiliation.

ACCREDITATION BY THE HIGHER LEARNING COMMISSION (HLC)

The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) is an independent corporation and one of two commission members of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA). HLC is one of six regional institutional accreditors in the United States. The HLC accredits degree-granting post-secondary educational institutions in the North Central region. Institutional accreditation is a voluntary process that serves the critical purposes of quality assurance and institutional and program improvement. Colleges that are accredited by the HLC continually evaluate their overall institutions and programs in light of the criteria for accreditation set forth by the HLC.

THE CRITERIA FOR (HLC) ACCREDITATION (January 1, 2013)

The Criteria for Accreditation are the standards of quality by which the Commission determines whether an institution merits accreditation or reaffirmation of accreditation. They are as follows: Criterion One: Mission The institution’s mission is clear and articulated publicly; it guides the institution’s operations.

Criterion Two: Integrity (Ethical and Responsible Conduct) The institution acts with integrity; its conduct is ethical and responsible.

Criterion Three: Teaching and Learning (Quality, Resources, and Support) The institution provides high quality education, wherever and however its offerings are delivered.

Criterion Four: Teaching and Learning (Evaluation and Improvement) The institution demonstrates responsibility for the quality of its educational programs, learning environments, and support services, and it evaluates their effectiveness for student learning through processes designed to promote continuous improvement.

Criterion Five: Resources, Planning, and Institutional Effectiveness

http://ncahlc.org/Information-for-Institutions/glossary-criteria-for-accreditation.html

http://ncahlc.org/Information-for-Institutions/glossary-criteria-for-accreditation.html

The institution’s resources, structures, and processes are sufficient to fulfill its mission, improve the quality of its educational offerings, and respond to future challenges and opportunities. The institution plans for the future.

PATHWAYS TO HLC REAFFIRMATION OF ACCREDITATION

The Commission maintains processes for determining eligibility for accreditation, for achieving candidacy status, for achieving initial accreditation, and for maintaining accreditation. The Commission is now replacing PEAQ with two new Pathways, the Standard Pathway and the Open Pathway. The AQIP Pathway will continue largely unchanged. Standard Pathway The Standard Pathway seeks to achieve the following goals:

• To reduce the reporting burden on institutions by utilizing as much information and data as possible from existing institutional processes and collecting them in electronic form as they naturally occur over time • To enhance rigor by checking institutional data annually (Institutional Update) and conducting comprehensive evaluations twice in the ten-year cycle • To integrate as much as possible all HLC processes and requests for data into the reaffirmation of accreditation cycle

The Standard Pathway is available to all accredited institutions at any time, unless the institution is on Probation or under a Show-Cause order, when it follows a separate process. Some institutions are limited to the Standard Pathway. Two comprehensive evaluations take place in a ten year cycle: one in Year 4 and one in Year 10. Both quality assurance and quality improvement are integrated into these comprehensive evaluations as well as Federal Compliance. In addition, the institution addresses quality assurance and improvement through interim monitoring, as required. In the Standard Pathway, both assurance and improvement are directly related to the Criteria for Accreditation. The components of the comprehensive evaluation in the Standard Pathway are:

1. An Assurance Review; 2. An Improvement Review; 3. A review of Federal Compliance; 4. An on-site visit; and 5. If applicable, a multi-campus review

Open Pathway The Open Pathway seeks to achieve the following goals:

• To enhance institutional value by opening the improvement aspect of accreditation so that institutions may choose Quality Initiatives to suit their current circumstances • To reduce the reporting burden on institutions by utilizing as much information and data as possible from existing institutional processes and collecting them in electronic form as they naturally occur over time • To enhance rigor by checking institutional data annually (Institutional Update) and conducting Assurance Reviews twice in the ten-year cycle • To integrate as much as possible all HLC processes and HLC requests for data into the reaffirmation of accreditation cycle.

Two Assurance Reviews take place in the ten-year cycle; one in Year 4 and one in Year 10. The Year 4 review occurs asynchronously via the Commission’s online Assurance System and without a visit. The Year 10 review also is conducted with the Assurance System but includes a visit to the campus, as noted below. Between

4

Years 5 and 9 of the ten-year cycle, the institution proposes and completes a Quality Initiative which focuses on institutional innovation and improvement. The components of the comprehensive evaluation in the Open Pathway are:

1. An Assurance Review; 2. A review of Federal Compliance; 3. An on-site visit; and 4. If applicable, a multi-campus review.

Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) Pathway The Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) is one of several pathways leading to accreditation with the Higher Learning Commission. Others include the Open and Standard Pathways. AQIP differs from the other pathways in that it is premised on principles of continuous quality improvement, and its various processes and requirements are designed to assist institutions in achieving quality improvement, along with reaffirming the institution’s accredited status with the Commission once every AQIP cycle. Many institutions have reported transforming their quality cultures since embarking on the AQIP Pathway. Federal compliance is reviewed.

WYOMING COMMUNITY COLLEGE HLC ACCREDITATION SUMMARIES CASPER COLLEGE (OPEN PATHWAY) Casper College completed the comprehensive evaluation process and was approved for continued accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission in August 2009. A required progress report on general education was submitted in June 2012. A response was received from the Higher Learning Commission in July 2012 requesting further progress reporting on the plan to focus and assess general education outcomes. Casper College has narrowed outcomes to 8 and conducted initial institutional assessment of outcomes utilizing the AAC&U VALUE rubrics. Casper College submitted a further progress report to the HLC in June 2014. The report was accepted with no conditions. Casper College has no reporting required by the Higher Learning Commission before the next comprehensive visit scheduled for 2018-19. CENTRAL WYOMING COLLEGE (OPEN PATHWAY)

Central Wyoming College (CWC) in Riverton served as a Pioneer Institution for the Higher Learning Commission in the Pathways Construction Project, the new model for continued accreditation. CWC is one of 23 institutions that conducted the Pathways Assurance Process and the Pathways Improvement Process with the Lumina Degree Qualifications Framework serving as the Quality Initiative for the Pathways Demonstration Project. The Quality Initiative report was accepted by the Higher Learning Commission in August 2013. Central Wyoming College has been accepted and is participating in the first cohort of the four-year Higher Learning Commission Persistence and Completion Academy.

Central Wyoming College’s next comprehensive visit is scheduled for October 5-6, 2015.

EASTERN WYOMING COLLEGE (OPEN PATHWAY) Eastern Wyoming College (EWC) in Torrington was recommended for a ten-year reaccreditation following the HLC team visit in 2010. A focus visit was completed October 5-6, 2014 emphasizing improving ethnic diversity among students and staff. The Institutional Actions Council of the Higher Learning Commission concurred with the evaluation findings and affirmed that the institution is addressing the concerns related to diversity. Eastern

Wyoming College has been accepted and is participating in the Higher Learning Commission Persistence and Student Completion Academy. The next comprehensive visit will be scheduled for 2020-2021. LARAMIE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE (AQIP PATHWAY) Laramie County Community College (LCCC) has participated in the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) to maintain its accreditation since 2006. In October 2014, LCCC published the second edition of its systems portfolio, which describes processes, results, and improvements in six categories, as well as providing evidence that the College continues to meet accreditation criteria. In February 2015 the College received the Higher Learning Commission’s AQIP Systems Appraisal Feedback Report that verified the institution’s compliance with HLC accreditation criteria and included recommendations for improvements from peer reviewers. The College is developing a plan to strengthen areas identified for improvement by reviewers. A comprehensive and systematic improvement process will be implemented that uses data feedback reporting to show progress. The continuous improvement activity will strengthen the institution and provide information for developing LCCC’s next Systems Portfolio, due in 2018-19, and to prepare for AQIP’s Comprehensive Quality Review of LCCC scheduled for 2019-2020. In addition to the systems portfolio, LCCC worked on several action projects during the 2014-2015 academic year. These are summarized below. Through the Curriculum Redesign project, LCCC faculty redesigned the College’s general education curriculum, as well as curriculum development and approval processes, to ensure that approved courses are competency based and to develop stronger quality assurance of student learning. Faculty also reviewed all programs of study, substantially redesigning most, so that the curricula align with recently adopted policy and procedure that establish criteria for degree and certificate programs. These changes are reflected in LCCC’s 2015-2016 Catalog (found at http://www.lccc.wy.edu/academics/schedule/index.aspx). The Starfish Retention Implementation project is an extension of the Holistic Advising Program, which was implemented through an action project in the previous year. Starfish is an early alert/retention program that increases student retention and completion through early intervention, enhances student/advisor and student/instructor relationships, and increases course success rates by decreasing withdrawal and failure rates. This system was piloted during the spring 2015 semester and will be fully implemented by spring 2016. The project to Develop a Non-Academic Program Review Process is a companion to work done the previous year to revise and implement its comprehensive review process for academic programs of study. During the reporting period, relevant policy and procedure were adopted and review criteria were developed and incorporated into LCCC’s online continuous improvement management system. Selected non-academic programs will begin the review process in the fall 2015 semester. Through the Carnegie Pathways Program project, LCCC math faculty developed the structures and processes needed to implement Carnegie Statway™ and Quantway™ curricula. These pathways are designed to improve success of remedial students by providing concepts that are applied in context. Students can move to a college-level math course, necessary for degree completion, after only one semester of remedial math. The first Statway™ course was offered during the spring 2015 semester and the first Quantway™ course will be offered in the fall 2015 semester. NORTHERN WYOMING COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT (AQIP PATHWAY) Northern Wyoming Community College District (NWCCD), serving Sheridan, Campbell, and Johnson counties, has participated in the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) form of accreditation with the Higher Learning Commission since 2005. The District will submit its third Systems Portfolio in early fall 2015. A response to the Portfolio is expected in spring 2016. With the official process of reaffirmation of accreditation coming in 2018-2019, the institutional will send a team to the Strategy Forum in fall 2016 and prepare for the site visit in fall 2017.

The District continues to work on Action Projects. Two of our active projects, Assessing General Education: A Re-Evaluation of Core Abilities and Developing and Implementing Writing Intensive Courses in NWCCD Curriculum, are directly related to student learning. Our third active project is Developing a Process Addressing Alcohol, Drug and Sexual Assault Awareness. The District has retired 19 projects. NORTHWEST COLLEGE (STANDARD PATHWAY) Northwest College (NWC) is fully accredited through 2018. The comprehensive PEAQ evaluation on November 15-17, 2010 resulted in recommendations in regard to assessment of student learning, governance, and planning. A focused visit in March 2013 resulted in a recommendation for no further reporting until the next scheduled comprehensive evaluation. The Higher Learning Commission has placed NWC into the Standard Pathway for reaffirmation. WESTERN WYOMING COMMUNITY COLLEGE (AQIP PATHWAY) Western Wyoming Community College (WWCC) in Rock Springs was accepted as a participant in the AQIP accreditation pathway in July, 2008. Reaffirmation of Accreditation through the AQIP Pathway is on an eight year cycle. A comprehensive Systems Portfolio is due twice in the cycle. Western submitted its first Systems Portfolio in May 2012; our second Systems Portfolio is due in June, 2017, and the process for completing that project is already underway. A team will attend a Strategy Forum in the 2015-2016 academic year. In accordance with AQIP requirements, and in a quest for continuous quality improvement, Western maintains a minimum of three active action projects during each academic year, with annual updates submitted to the Higher Learning Commission. In this past year, our action projects focused on Academic Rigor, Student Course Evaluations, and Intrusive Advising; in the 2015-2016 academic year, we will continue our focus on Academic Rigor, and will also work on a General Education redesign project. Western was accepted into the HLC Persistence and Completion Academy, and these efforts will comprise our third action project for the next few years.

degree had education plans in place and were on track to graduate the year following

the site visit. Continuing accreditation was granted with a Follow Up Report required in

two years - fall 2015. At the current time, all full time

faculty hold the required level of educational preparation, and the program is in full

compliance with all accreditation standards.

To the Joint Education Interim Committee [Pursuant to W.S. 21-20-201 Section 1, (e)]

10/01/15 Report on Post Secondary Education Options Program

Introduction

The legislature has directed the Wyoming Community College Commission (WCCC) to develop a report to the Joint Interim Education Committee, the community colleges, the Department of Education (WDE) and the University of Wyoming (UW) on statewide, post secondary education options program revenues, expenditures, and student participation and completion. Senate Enrolled Act 52 (2010 Budget Session), hereafter referred to as SEA-52, amended the Postsecondary Education Options Program Act (PEOP) to mandate that high schools, post secondary institutions, UW and community colleges, enter into agreements regarding dual and concurrent enrollment programs. The Consensus Group, created under SEA-52 in collaboration with stakeholders, requested that the WCCC Academic Affairs Council (AAC) design a template for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for both concurrent enrollment and for dual enrollment to be used statewide by all school districts and community college partners. These two common MOU templates were designed and first utilized for the 2010-2011 academic year by the school districts and the seven community colleges. There are concurrent enrollment and/or dual enrollment MOUs between all 48 school districts and at least one of the seven community colleges or UW. Academic year 2013-2014 marks the first year all school districts had such an MOU. SEA-52 amended the PEOP Act requiring the annual reporting of student enrollment, finances and

completion data by school districts, BOCHES, BOCES, community colleges and UW.

Note: Information for this report is obtained by many different sources including UW, the seven

community colleges, WDE (who obtain their information from Wyoming school districts) and the

Wyoming BOCES/BOCHES. This report, since its inception, has shown inconsistencies in data received,

as it does this year. The community colleges report in the same manner, using the same formulas and

templates, and their data can be validated. However, data outside of the community college system

cannot be validated by the WCCC. Therefore, it is necessary to identify data discrepancies either via

2

footnotes to charts or detailed on the last page of the report and to note the WCCC’s position of

reporting data provided from multiple agencies, some of which cannot be validated.

State Totals 5324 2051 33748.5 12509.1 31355.5 10292.9

Concurrent Enrollment:

The seven community colleges partnered with all of Wyoming’s 48 school districts during the 2014-2015

academic year to provide concurrent enrollment courses to 4,021 students (as reported by school

districts); the community colleges reported 5,324 students. These students enrolled in 33,748.5 credit

hours and completed 31,355.5 credit hours. UW offered concurrent enrollment to high school students

at one school district. Concurrent enrollment courses are taught by high school faculty who meet each

4

college’s qualifications to teach the specific courses offered. Availability of a specific concurrent course

is dependent upon the qualifications of high school faculty members to teach specific courses and the

school district’s decision to accept specific college course credit toward high school graduation.

Dual Enrollment:

During the 2014-2015 academic year, 17 of Wyoming’s 48 school districts recognized dual enrollment

course enrollments to meet high school graduation requirements. During that same academic year, the

school districts reported 1,184 high school students, (or 2,051 students as reported by the community

colleges and UW) registered for 12,509.1 credit hours and completed 10,292.9 credit hours. UW

offered dual enrollment to high school students at one school district. Wyoming’s public community

colleges offer all freshman and sophomore college courses as options for school districts to select from

as dual enrollment opportunities for high school students. Availability of a specific dual enrollment

course is dependent upon access to the course through either face-to-face instruction or distance

education. The decision to accept a specific college course to meet high school graduation

requirements, is made by the school district.

Distance Dual Credit:

The seven community colleges and UW partnered with school districts during the 2014-2015 academic

year to offer distance dual credits. A total of 917 students took 4,722 credit hours of distance education

and completed 3,962 of them. The seven community colleges offer over 700 online course sections

which are all available as dual enrollment courses.

districts reported paying $164,203 to the seven community colleges/UW to enroll their high school

students in dual enrollment courses.

Seven community colleges reported receiving $2,281,439 from school districts for concurrent

enrollment courses and four community colleges reported receiving $116,823 for dual enrollment

courses from school districts. Seven community colleges reported paying $2,465,656 to school districts

for concurrent enrollment related expenses. Two community colleges received $493,284 from BOCES or

BOCHES for concurrent enrollment courses. Five community colleges reported receiving $859,267 from

BOCES or BOCHES for dual enrollment courses. UW was not able to provide fiscal information related to

dual enrollment as they do not track expenditures by course.

Seven community colleges reported concurrent enrollment expenditures of $4,399,581 and those

community colleges reported total concurrent enrollment revenue of $2,780,159. Also, seven

community colleges reported dual enrollment expenditures of $3,983,968 as well as total revenue for

dual enrollment of $1,108,617.

There are inconsistencies between the headcount and financial data provided to WDE by the school

districts and headcount and financial information provided to the WCCC staff by the seven community

colleges. WCCC staff did attempt to improve data quality, and some improvements from last year’s

report were realized.

Both the community colleges and the school districts reported unduplicated headcounts

enabling much closer enrollment numbers for dual and concurrent counts this year between

the school districts and the colleges.

The number of school districts’ reporting no dual/concurrent enrollment, but reporting

dual/concurrent expenditures or revenue dropped from eight to one this year.

Additionally:

The WCCC received increased BOCES/BOCHES participation.

For this 2014-2015 academic year, all 48 of Wyoming’s school districts had MOUs with the

seven community colleges for dual and/or concurrent agreements.

Some challenges do remain however:

In some cases when data differed between reporting entities, an entity may have provided its

own data in comparison to other data provided. For instance, Central Wyoming College and

Central Wyoming BOCES staff provided data intended to clarify data provided by another

entity but due to time constraints and the corresponding inability to reconcile or validate

differences in data submitted, only the original data could be reported. Additionally, it was not

possible to provide all reporting entities with sufficient time or to develop common protocols in

order to facilitate each reporting entities’ own reconciliation.

One school district which reported no dual/concurrent enrollment reported both dual and

concurrent revenue and expenditures.

The community colleges and UW reported concurrent enrollment headcount of 5324 while the

school districts reported concurrent enrollment headcount of 4021.

The community colleges and UW reported dual enrollment headcount of 2051 while the school

districts reported 1184 dual enrollment headcount.

This year, only two school districts note dual enrollment revenue versus 14 from last year,

making a difference of $763,376 in revenue. Also, this year 13 school districts reported

concurrent enrollment revenue versus 36 school districts last year, making a difference in

revenue of $1,866,935. Finally in the 2013-2014 academic school year, school districts

reported $1,732,068 more than this year in dual and concurrent expenditures to Wyoming

colleges.

One BOCES did not report information to the WCCC for this report.

This year, following draft submission of this report, several individuals and reporting entities sought

ways in which to improve or remedy the discrepancies in the data provided. As noted, time

constraints and involvement by multiple entities did not allow for complete reconciliation of the data

this year but there are practical new suggestions, ideas and partnerships developing to improve this

process for upcoming Post Secondary Education Option Program reports.

** LCCC: Although the Wyoming Community College Commission approved the General Education Transfer Block Certificate of Completion to begin in Fall 2014, LCCC has not yet implemented this program of study. Changes in federal rules and

guidelines, particularly changes related to financial aid and gainful employment programs, lead to the decision not to implement this program. At this time, offering the General Education Transfer Block as a stand-alone program would not be in

the best interest of the students, as earning this award could negatively impact future financial aid awards. To assist students who have completed their general education requirements and are transferring to a four-year institution (the original

intent when this program was proposed to the WCCC), LCCC designates this accomplishment on students’ transcripts.

*WWCC: There are not yet any students enrolled in the PILOT Process Technology program. There were logistical problems initially and it is unclear if the program will be continuing.

*** WWCC: The Supervision and Leadership certificate is so similar to other business certificates that there are not any students enrolled in the program but there are graduates because the students that take the classes as part of a degree

program get the certificate as an add-on when they graduate.

Wyoming Community College Commission 2015 Tuition Review

In October 2006, the Wyoming Community College Commission (WCCC) adopted a long-term tuition policy. This policy still guides the WCCC in establishing annual community college tuition rates. The guiding principles of this policy encompass five key areas relevant to cost: accessibility,

affordability, predictability, competitiveness, and cost-sharing. Tuition Policy It is the intent of the Commission that tuition rates are commensurate with economic conditions in Wyoming and surrounding states. Given this intent, the WCCC authorizes a tuition increase of 5% or less1 among Wyoming’s seven community colleges, provided the following criteria are met:

1. Current average resident tuition for Wyoming colleges is 98% or less than the current average resident tuition in the WICHE2 states (excluding California and including Nebraska),

2. The ratio of current average resident tuition to Wyoming’s median household income is 98% or less than the average ratio for the WICHE states (excluding California and including Nebraska).

After the two above criteria are met, and in-state tuition rates are established, the tuition policy further stipulates that:

1. Full-time tuition is capped at 12 credit hours, 2. Tuition for distance education courses will be the same as for on-site courses, 3. Tuition for non-WUE3, out-of-state students will be 300% of in-state tuition, excepting

Nebraska students will be 150% of in-state tuition, 4. Tuition for international students will be 300% of in-state tuition, 5. Tuition for students in WUE states will be 150% of in-state tuition.

Current Findings

Wyoming Community College Commission staff conducted an analysis of 2014-2015 tuition data from WICHE and 2012-2013 two-year average Median Household Income (MHI)4 to determine if the aforementioned tuition policy criteria were, indeed, met. The following analysis concludes that Wyoming community college average tuition, and, tuition-to-income ratios are far below the 98% threshold. Table 1 lists income and tuition data, while Table 2 reflects the percentage of average MHI needed to fund full-time student tuition for two semesters. Table 3 summarizes the 1 In the event that a tuition increase greater than five percent is recommended, the WCCC must formally vote to approve the increase. 2 Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) 3 Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) 4 US Census Bureau 2010 American Community Survey 2-Year Estimates

WY/WICHE tuition ratio, and Table 4 compares the WY tuition/income ratio to WICHE tuition/income ratio. These data will serve as a foundation for further analysis in accordance with the 2006-2011 Tuition Policy. Table 1: Median Household Income and Tuition Rates

Ratio of Wyoming Tuition-to-WICHE Average Tuition

A comparison of average Wyoming tuition to average WICHE tuition (excluding California and Alaska and including Nebraska), for the 2014-2015 academic year, indicates that Wyoming community college students pay 68.81% of that of average WICHE state community colleges. This ratio has increased for Wyoming from the 2013-2014 ratio of 64.84%. Chart 1 illustrates that the trend of Wyoming to WICHE tuition rates is increasing. However, it should be noted, the one separately accredited community college in Alaska was placed under the University of Alaska Anchorage umbrella in June 2014 which likely decreased the average tuition of the WICHE area. The average tuition in Alaska had been the highest state tuition rate (in the WICHE area) in previous years and figuring the rate from last year for Alaska into this year’s WICHE average would have caused a 2.63% increase in average WICHE tuition.

Wyoming Tuition Analysis and Recommendation

The above analysis indicates that the Wyoming community college tuition rate in 2014-2015 remains below that of the surrounding states in WICHE territory. For the 5 one-year periods examined in the analysis, Wyoming’s tuition and income ratios were less than those of the WICHE states. Wyoming’s tuition rates have increased 20.99% from 2010-11 to 2014-15, whereas WICHE’s tuition rates have increased 15.29% for the same period of time. (If Alaska were included using the tuition for last year, the increase would have been 19.51%.) Despite this analysis, staff does not recommend an increase to current in-state or non-resident student Wyoming tuition this year. Commission staff intends to perform a study to analyze current policy and procedure in order to develop a long-term plan which would encourage program completion and how tuition is calculated. A new tuition policy recommendation will be developed with the consideration of themes such as accessibility, affordability, predictability, competitiveness and cost-sharing. With no increase for 2015-2016, Wyoming community college tuition rates will remain below that of surrounding states and will support current and enrolling students over the next year.
