Planning & Decision-Making

The College’s guiding beacon is the Strategic Master Plan (SMP) which mutually feeds and reflects other district/college functional plans, and our college processes are mindful of the importance that decisions are made based on the understanding of its alignment with the SMP.  The College's other functional plans include the Educational Master Plan (EMP), a Facilities Master Plan (FMP), a Technology Master Plan (TMP), a Plan for Enrollment Management (PEM), Professional Learning Plan (PLP), Comprehensive Program Review plans (CPR), and the Student Equity and Achievement Plan (SEAP).  The College follows an integrated four-year planning cycle.

Institution Set Standards & Stretch Goals

In accordance with ACCJC Policy on Monitoring Institutional Performance and federal regulations, the Commission applies a set of annual monitoring and evaluation approaches that assess an institution’s continued compliance with the Commission’s Standards and take into account institutional strengths and stability. Colleges must hold themselves accountable for continuous improvement in the context of their unique mission and goals.  This includes institution set standards (floor and aspirational goals); and achievement in course completion, certificates, degrees, transfer, job placement and licensure pass rates.

Pierce College has established eleven floor and aspirational measures for student achievement.  These measures are all directly related to the college's Strategic Master Plan and are aligned to the 
College's Mission, Vision, and Goals
