Student Equity and Achievement Program

Introduction

In 2018, the Student Equity and Achievement (SEA) Program was established through the enactment of California Education Code 78222. It is the intent of the Legislature that the SEA Program support the California Community Colleges in implementing activities and practices that advance the systemwide goal to boost achievement for all students with an emphasis on eliminating the achievement gaps for students from traditionally underrepresented groups through the following:

Implementing activities and practices pursuant to the California Community College Guided Pathways Grant Program.
Ensuring students complete their educational goals and a defined course of study.
Providing quality curriculum, instruction, and support services to students who enter college deficient in English and mathematics to ensure these students complete a course of study in a timely manner.

The SEA Program at Butte College identifies and addresses disproportionate impact (DI) in student achievement in the following five metrics:

Successful enrollment
Persistence from the first primary term to the second primary term
Completion of transfer-level math and English in the first year
Completion of certificates and degrees
Transfer to a 4-year college

We acknowledge that it is our responsibility as an institution to improve the outcomes of all our students with an emphasis on eliminating equity gaps for disproportionately impacted student groups. It’s all about giving every student an equitable chance to succeed and achieve their goals.

Utilizing guidelines from the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (CCCCO), Butte College’s student outcomes data is evaluated by the Student Equity and Achievement Program Advisory Committee (SEAPAC) to make informed recommendations on the implementation of programs and services and to develop a Student Equity Plan. The Student Equity Plan identifies Butte College’s disproportionately impacted (DI) student populations and outlines goals to improve successful enrollment, term-to-term persistence, math and English completion, degree and certificate completion, and transfer through academic and student support services across campus.
