Student Success & Equity

About Student Success & Equity Android App

With the passing of the 2012 Student Success Law, the college has worked to expand student success efforts with a focus on student equity, particularly for those populations identified as at-risk. This process entails a close look at data that identifies student populations that are disproportionately impacted at MiraCosta College across what the Board of Governors policy on student equity has defined as key success indicators: access, course completion, ESL and basic skills completion, degree and certificate completion, and transfer. The target populations include the following subgroups: ethnicity, gender, age, disability status, economically disadvantaged, veterans, and foster youth (Title 5, §54220).

MiraCosta College strives to be a model for equity and inclusion. The college is committed to
providing opportunities for engagement both across the campus and within the communities
the college serves. The college seeks to remove barriers to learning, participation, and
success, with a focus on changing procedures and practices that disproportionately affect
certain groups.
