According to SACSCOC Standard 7.2, the QEP topic must be identified through ongoing, comprehensive planning and evaluation processes and should have broad support of institutional constituencies. In early 2016, Carteret Community College identified main topics/categories through a QEP discovery survey. This survey was sent to faculty, staff, trustees, students, and advisory boards. Focus groups were held on campus in April and August of 2016. After review of survey results and focus group notes/comment cards, the topic that emerged was our college's need for a career and advising center.
After identifying a topic for CCC's QEP in early 2017, the college began to explore a design for an advising center. This proposed advising center will be located in McGee 104 near Academic Support, Admissions, TRiO, Financial Aid Office, Office of the Registrar, and Student Services. The MAPS Center will be the title of the advising center and Mentoring, Advising, and Planning for Success will be the title of the QEP. The logo for the center is below.
