Providing community colleges with strategic, one-time state investments and technical assistance will enable colleges to integrate existing student-success programs and provide students with predictable course schedules and frequent feedback and support services to ensure that they can complete academic programs more efficiently.

Providing students who are pursuing an associate degree with a full two-year sequence of courses that can serve as a default plan will help to ensure that these students are positioned to complete their program on time.
