Message from the Interim Provost

As your Provost and Vice President for Academic and Student Success, I look forward to working with all of you to support and promote our students’ success.

As you prepare for the spring semester, important information is available in an easy-access website for the Academic and Student Success Division. Topics include grades, exams and technology training; links to documents such as the Student Handbook, Enrollment Guide and Student Resource Center, which provide information about in-person and virtual services and office hours; and information regarding Starfish Connect, our academic early alert system. Please note that the website also contains information pertaining to the College’s continued work on Guided Pathways.

The contributions of all faculty, staff, and administrators are integral to the work we do at the College and the continued success of our students. I look forward to a productive semester for all as we continue our focus on access, equity and student success.

Thanks for all you do.

Dr. Linda Powell
Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic and Student Success

The Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) is one of the many data points that the College utilizes as a tool and contributing factor to the assessment of student learning in alignment with our commitment to continuous improvement and enhancing the overall student experience. Direct student feedback is a tool that faculty and administrators can use to inform changes to their practice, while enhancing our quality of instruction and positively impacting student success and completion. To this end, the Division of Academic and Student Success thanks you in advance for your cooperation in helping more students complete the SET surveys to improve and enhance the quality and quantity of feedback we receive from the students we serve.
For the Fall 2025 semester, the SET survey will be conducted from 8:00am Monday, November 17, 2025 through Saturday, December 6, 2025 at 11:59pm. All surveys will be conducted online.
