Student Success and Support Program (3SP)
(Allan Hancock College Board Policy 5050)
The Student Success and Support Program (3SP), currently referenced as the Student Equity and Achievement (SEAP) Program, brings the student and the District into agreement regarding the student’s educational goal through the District’s established programs, policies, and requirements.
The Student Success and Support Program will coordinate with the District’s Student Equity Plan to ensure that the college has identified strategies to monitor and address equity issues and mitigate any disproportionate impacts on student access and achievement. The agreement between the student and the district is implemented by means of the student educational plan.
Student Success: Appeals Procedure
If a student feels that placement, orientation, counseling, course prerequisites or any other student success procedure or service is being applied in a discriminatory manner, an appeal may be filed with the dean, Student Services. Within 10 working days of the receipt of the appeal, the student will be notified of the college’s proposed response to the complaint and any additional steps which will be taken.
If a student believes the prerequisite has been met by other means, an appeal for prerequisite equivalency can be filed with the dean, student services.
