Mission/Purpose Statement
In 2018, three categorical student support programs were integrated fiscally into one program: The Student Equity and Achievement (SEA) Program.
The Trailer Bill language for this initiative states that it is the intent of the Legislature that funds for the Student Equity and Achievement Program support the California Community Colleges in advancing the systemwide goal to boost achievement for all students with an emphasis on eliminating achievement gaps for students from traditionally underrepresented groups by doing of all of the following:
(A) Implementing activities and practices pursuant to the California Community College Guided Pathways Grant Program.
(B) Ensuring students complete their educational goals and a defined course of study.
(C) Providing quality curriculum, instruction, and support services to students who enter college deficient in English and mathematics.
To align with the new directive, the Cabrillo Basic Skills Initiative (BSI), the Student Equity Program, and the Student Success and Support Program (SSSP) were integrated into the new SEA program. A Cabrillo SEA committee has been established and meets regularly to discuss the integration of the programs and services into the new Guided Pathways framework.
