Mid-Plains Community College Branch Campus Report 3/11/2013 Page 1

Introduction

Mid-Plains Community College is a multi-campus institution with three main campuses; North Platte Community College South Campus, North Platte Community College North Campus, and McCook Community College. For accreditation purposes, the North Platte South Campus has been designated as the main campus and the North Platte North Campus and McCook Community College have been assigned as branch campuses. Because each site is considered a main campus internally, the governance and oversight, resource allocations, evaluation and planning, staffing, services, and budget and revenue processes are very consistent at each location.

Governance and Oversight

The North Platte Community North Campus and McCook Community College each have a campus vice-president/chief executive officer responsible for oversight of their respective campuses. These responsibilities include but are not limited to; day-to-day operational decisions, the campus facilities, student services, and community relations. Both campus vice-presidents serve on the college cabinet which is the senior leadership team for the institution. Major procedural issues and decisions for each campus are brought to the college cabinet for decision making purposes. The college cabinet continually strives to keep key processes consistent on all three campuses. This process is defined in greater detail in category 5P5 of the systems portfolio.

Processes for assuring and improving educational quality

The Area Vice President for Instruction is the chief academic officer for the entire institution and is responsible for the oversight of the educational quality of all MPCC academic departments, programs, and courses regardless of the campus of delivery. MPCC has an Instructional Leadership Team which is responsible for planning, organizing, staffing, reporting, and evaluating procedures related to the instructional programs throughout the entire college, regardless of campus. This group works with faculty and other staff on the development of class schedules, instructional budgets, and other issues pertaining to student learning. This team is comprised of the following individuals; Area Vice President for Instruction (Chairperson), Vice President of McCook Community College, Vice President of North Platte Community College, and the Area Division Chairperson for each academic division which includes; Applied Technologies, Business and Technology, Health Occupations, Humanities, Human Services, and Social Sciences, and Science and Mathematics.

The Area Instructional Services Team is responsible for recommending and approving college programs, curriculum, academic/technical standards, graduation/completion requirements, cooperative programs with other institutions and other instructional policies and procedures that have college wide implications/concerns. This team is comprised of the Area Vice President for Instruction (Chairperson), Vice President of McCook Community College, Vice President of North Platte Community College, the six Area


Division Chairpersons (listed above), three faculty members from each academic division (regardless of campus), and two area advisors.

MPCC is very aware of the importance of academic assessment. The College leadership has been working towards a faculty-led model and there has been ground work laid for this to happen. Movement towards a culture of evidence based outcomes assessment is slow in developing, but the Area Vice President for Instruction has been working for a strong role for Division Chairs and also working towards the creation of an Assessment Coordinator position. A recent meeting was held with the Area Director of Institutional Research, Planning & Grants, the Area Vice President of Instruction, the six area Division Chairpersons, and two additional faculty representatives from each academic division (also representing each of the three main campuses). For further details please refer to Category 1 of the MPCC Systems Portfolio.

Resource Allocation

MPCC utilizes various processes at each of it’s locations to help address resource allocation. The college administers several surveys to faculty, students, and staff to identify what the specific needs are of various stakeholders (Please refer to 6P1). The college cabinet meets regularly with department leaders to assess where more resources are needed. Many of the academic and student support departments provide bi-annual reports which identify recent accomplishments and challenges faced by that department along with how the cabinet can help the department.

MPCC also provides several tools for employees to use for additional assistance, which include but are not limited to; the annual budget process (documented in detail below), the college’s strategic plan (includes input from every employee who chooses to participate), online helpdesk (for technical maintenance and facilities support), technology plan, Perkins plan, Instructional Equipment Plan, Facilities Plan, PACE Survey (climate survey administered to all full-time personnel), Employee Evaluations, and contract negotiations for faculty and classified staff.

The college assesses these processes through various tools including; the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE), the Graduate Survey, the Employer Survey, student learning outcome results, annual audits of FTE, federal financial aid, and business office, the PACE Survey, usage logs from the Learning Resource Centers, the Student Success Centers, bandwidth speed and usage, facilities usage, scholarship and financial aid dollars awarded.

Evaluation and Planning

MPCC has various tools for evaluating its performance as well as planning at each of its campuses college wide. Several tools for evaluation include; student learning outcomes, program performance information, faculty evaluation by administration, various student satisfaction surveys, community/employer feedback loops (including employer surveys and advisory committee meetings), bi-annual departmental reports


to the college cabinet (as detailed above), and enrollment performance information. For more detailed information please refer to 7P1 in the portfolio.

The college utilizes a very participatory strategic planning process that allows for input from various areas (See 8P1 for more detail). Employees from each branch campus are given the opportunity to complete the same surveys and participate in the same discussion sessions during the planning process as those employees at the main campus. The input from all employees, regardless of campus, are considered equally. The AQIP Core Team, which consists of faculty/staff from the main campus and each branch campus, then work with the college faculty to construct the final strategic plan based on all of the data supplied by the employees as well as external stakeholders in the community.

Once the strategic plan is completed, AQIP Action Projects are created for each initiative identified. For every action project that is started at MPCC, a cross-representational committee is formed that consists of employees from the main campus as well as both branch campuses so that all of our campuses have input into the final outcome of the project (See 8P3 and 8P4 for more information).

Staffing

At each of the branch campus locations staff and faculty participate in an evaluation process respective to their positions. Staff are responsible for reviewing their current job analysis questionnaire (JAQ) to update the job skills requirements as the position responsibilities change over time. Faculty evaluation and classroom observations occur over a three year period. All new college positions at campus locations are reviewed and prioritized in a job matrix that lists all open positions and specific needs for the individual campus location. The college process for identifying credentials, skills, and value requirements for positions is referenced in 4P1 and 4P2 in the system portfolio. Consistently following the outlined procedures and guidelines developed by the college guide the process for the campuses. Guidelines for recruitment, hiring, and retaining staff is outlined in 4P3. There are three recognized associations representing vocational faculty, academic faculty and classified staff across the college, all other employees work under a letter of employment with the exception of the president, who is contracted by the College Board of Governors.

Campus branches are staffed by faculty, classified staff, area staff and campus and area college administration to help ensure that campuses have access to all college services allowing them to function within the policies and procedures outlined by the main campus to provide consistent delivery of services.

Services

Campus services are offered at each location of the branch campus. There are academic support services offered in the form of tutoring, COMPASS testing, READI assessment, early alert programs, library services, student activities, access to the dean of students’ offices, college on campus housing services. Additionally, the campuses provide opportunities for students to engage in student clubs and organizations at their specific


campus location. Admissions offices, financial aid, and advising are offered at all campus locations for students to accommodate needs allowing them to easily obtain guidance and assistance in pursuit of their educational needs. These college services are outlined in Category 6 in more detail in the systems portfolio. Students are a top service user at the campus sites as well and the college has put into place various services to address their needs as outlined in tables located in 6P1 of the system portfolio (tables 6-1 and 6-2).

Campuses are also supported by physical plants and their staffs to maintain physical access to safe environments for students, staff, faculty, and community patrons.

The college and the specific campuses participate in development of the college strategic plan which outlines both short and long term goals and objectives of the college. IT services are coordinated from a college management operation with staffing located at all locations to support user needs. Both long and short-term plans are in operation to meet the needs of growing technology savvy customers of the college. Updating of equipment and coordinated purchasing with a college-wide approach is used to meet campus and college needs. The creation of HELPDESK to track requests and assign work project flow has allowed the college to respond to employee needs more efficiently.

As a measurement of services provided the college through campus based surveys such as the CCSSE (Community College Student Survey of Engagement), the Graduate Survey, the Employer Survey, student learning outcome results, annual audits and the PACE survey gain feedback which then is useful in data driven decisions to change services, upgrade existing services or develop new service components as needed to fulfill the college mission of a commitment to provide quality educational opportunities for lifelong student learning. Results of those various survey instruments can be found in 6R1 (table 6-1, 6-5,6-2) additionally improvement results are located in 6I (table 6-5) in the portfolio.

Budget

Each branch of the system develops campus, departmental, and instructional budgets along with area college budgets to support the MPCC system. The budget process begins in December of each calendar year with submission of projected budget needs based upon three budget scenarios such as (+5%, 0%,and -5%) in order to give the college and the Board of Governors ample lead time to prepare for college fiscal needs prior to the formal adoption of the annual college budget the beginning of the college year generally in late August or early September. Prior budget meetings and instructions have been given as to preparation; there will be opportunities for budget managers to present requests for travel, general operations, contractual services, and or new purchases to the college business officer and campus vice presidents for discussion and dialogue. The entire college works together in collaboration to allocate dollars effectively. The College, through better utilization and review of data collected is moving toward alignment of budgets to the strategic needs of each campus and the College as a whole. Recently, the college business officer has worked with our main data system provider JENZABAR to utilize an immediate up-to-date budget module that allows individual budget


managers to see their budgets in real time both from a request mode to management mode to ensure fiscal responsibility.

The college also has been developing a series of forms used on a portal system that allows for electronic tracking of purchase requests, declaration of actual expenses, advance travel requests, bidding requests and other forms which has resulted in fewer errors, better service, more efficient budget planning and consistency in processes for branch and main campus locations. Reference to usage of the portal services can be located in 7P7 of the systems portfolio. Additionally, the college does outline budget basics and guidelines in the MPCC Employee Handbook that details the account numbering system, bidding guidelines, purchase/requisition requests, signature requirements, travel and business expense procedures to educate all employees as to proper process and procedure to follow. If there are questions a simple phone call to college business offices will easily clarify questions and or concerns.

Revenues

While the branch campuses do have their own cost expenditure centers, revenue for the campuses are reported as part of the total college revenue. Branch campuses are a part of the main campus for reporting purposes. There are instances where revenues from the sale of auction surplus items are identified with each branch location and then used by the branch campus for minor equipment purchases to support that specific branch needs.
