Emit Report – February 13, 2012
Update on Pre-builts:
· It was noted thatwe plan to handle placement for ENG 100 the same way again for
Fall 2012‐using SAT and ACT scores
· Suggestion was made that we offer writing placement exams for any
student who does not have an ACT or SAT score, and do this for Summer,
Fall and Spring terms – there appeared to be consensus support for this
VCAA shared data on pre‐census course fill rates
· Note that the ideal rate is an average fill rate of about 80%
· We do have to keep in mind that this is reflective of how we set course caps‐we
changed the policy starting this year that course caps will reflect the room capacity
· We will get an updated analysis post‐census to see what, if anything, has changed
Summer session purpose/mission (discussion continued from last time)
o Corinne shared what is currently communicated in Summer Session promotional
materials, as well as what Summer Session enrollees indicated in SurveyMonkey
(checking all reasons that applied) were their reasons for taking courses during
Summer Session:
· Accelerate graduation – 141 (63.8%)
· Course(s) not offered during the regular semesters – 56 (25.3%)

· Lowered tuition – 42 (19.0%)
· Curriculum of classes offered – 33 (14.9%)
· Make up for failed class – 25 (11.3%)
· Location of college – 19 (8.6%)

Call for course proposals for Summer Session goes out in October‐theoretically, we
should offer courses based on what we believe is the purpose/mission of Summer
Session
