SUBJECT: Education Policies and Procedures Task Force and Working Groups

As Oakton enters its 35^th year, we look forward to several critical activities:

· Revisiting and revising educational policies and procedures to better serve our students;

· Preparing for and launching the Higher Learning Commission reaccreditation self-study;

· Implementing SCT-Banner, our new student information system.

To address them in a coordinated, comprehensive manner, I am charging an Education Policies and Procedures Task Force (EPP-TF) to act as a steering group, receiving recommendations from working groups and evaluating these recommendations in light of broader issues and concerns. Five working groups will conduct the in-depth examination of issues assigned to them and make recommendations to the EPP-TF for subsequent actions.
