STUDENT EQUITY PLAN PHILOSOPHY Driven by Moreno Valley College’s Theory of Action, the philosophy of the Student Equity Plan at Moreno Valley College is that the institutional conditions that allow all students to reach their full potential must be purposefully designed and sustained for the institution to achieve its student equity goals.
STUDENT EQUITY PLAN PLANNING PRINCIPLES Local Goal Alignment Ensure that the new Student Equity Plan is aligned with the college’s Integrated Strategic Plan, as well • as Riverside Community College District Strategic Plan, the State Chancellor’s Office Vision for Success, Guided Pathways, and department/area program reviews. Methodology • Understanding that an effective plan is grounded in data, Moreno Valley College assessed the five student success metrics using the percentage point gap methodology and proportionality index .
TARGET STUDENT EQUITY POPULATIONS Based upon campus- based research, the following subgroups are the college’s primary equity target populations: • African American/Black Students • Foster Youth Students • Students with Disabilities LGBT Students • • Veteran Students • Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander Students • Hispanic/Latino Students • Male Students
STUDENT EQUITY GOAL The primary goal of this Student Equity Plan is to build on the progress made through the previous plan’s implementation of new activities intended to achieve student success for the targeted subgroups of MVC students who have been identified as being disproportionately impacted.

STUDENT EQUITY ACTIVITIES OVERVIEW Access: s: Enrolled olled in the Same me Commun mmunity ity College lege • Using Guided Pathways principles for entering a pathway, target outreach and onboarding efforts to students by coordinating with high schools to enroll disproportionate populations and onboard students from disproportionate groups into cohorts or learning communities such as College Promise, FYE, Umoja, Guardian Scholars, Puente, etc. • Decrease college costs by expanding College Promise program; using zero-cost textbook programs like OER, and whenever possible, increasing cost-of-living reliefs such as food relief programs, meal plans, affordable child care, transportation, and housing support. Ret eten enti tion: on: Fall l to Spring ring • Through Guided Pathways implementation, develop a system for keeping students on the path by tracking early exiters , especially those “at” or “near the gate” to offer financial, academic, or advising assistance in returning or reenrolling. • Remove retention barriers by coordinating chair efforts to implement “smart scheduling”; increasing evening and weekend course offerings; improving alignment of course offerings with ADTs and CTE certificates and degrees; and staggering add and drop deadlines to maximize course enrollment.
STUDENT EQUITY ACTIVITIES OVERVIEW Transf ansfer er to a Four-Year ear Inst stit itut ution ion • Through Guided Pathways implementation clarify the transfer path for full-time and part-time students (in evening, weekend, and online classes) and ensure program, degree, and certificate clarity via messaging tools like Grad Guru, EduNav, and CANVAS. Build and strengthen the college’s transfer institution partnerships, to increase transfer opportunities • through MOUs and transfer guarantee; connect students with trusted partner individuals at transfer institutions; and develop a bridge program and expand cross-enrollment/dual enrollment at the transfer institution. Comple pletion tion of Transf nsfer er Level l Math h and English lish • To keep students on path, expand, integrate, and streamline Supplemental Instruction by assigning SIs and embedded tutors to impacted math and English courses; and increasing the number of SIs/embedded tutors from 1 to 2 in impacted classes. • Create a uniform campus wide process within all special programs for identifying and reaching out to students not enrolling in or passing their math and/or English courses to offer financial, academic, advising, or tutoring assistance.
STUDENT EQUITY ACTIVITIES OVERVIEW Earn rned ed Cred edit it Certif tific icat ate e Over 18 U 18 Unit its s and Asso sociat ciate Degre grees es Simplify the degree and certificate awarding process through automatic awarding of degrees and • certificates to eligible students. • To help students choose and enter a pathway program, increase the onboarding of male students into learning communities such as Umoja, EOPS, CalWORKS, and Puente; and connecting students with male mentors, CTE programs, and industry partner mentors. Using Guided Pathways principles to keep students on path, develop a system for tracking and reaching • out to students near certificate and degree completion by offering financial, academic, advising, and/or tutoring assistance.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES Moreno Valley College recognizes that people are our most important resource for closing student equity gaps and to ensure that students are learning. Our goal is for all faculty and staff members to make the maximum contribution to their departments, while having opportunities to develop their talents, to acquire and use new skills, and thus to achieve greater impact at achieving student equity goals. • Compl pletion tion of Transfer er Leve vel Math h and English ish Provide regular, ongoing professional learning to math and English instructors that addresses affective domain, growth mindset, and culturally relevant pedagogies and promotes collaborative learning, project-based learning, and curricular or pedagogical innovations, such as use of the STEM center and Maker Space and innovative practices such as math jams. Ret etenti ntion: on: Fall to Spring • Educate instructors on resources and supports available to students to assist instructors in orienting and guiding students to those resources; train instructors in classroom strategies for supporting special population students (such as training instructors in accessibility aides); and coordinate professional learning with district and college-wide efforts as outlined in the College’s plans.
