Objective 4.1.3 Strategies and Benchmarks
4.1.3 The University will strengthen student recruitment networks with community colleges, adult education programs and transition agencies and work with area human resource managers to develop for-credit opportunities.
This process has begun and needs to continue. The Director of Admissions & Advising will continue to serve on the College Transition Advisory Committee (Adult Education). UMA is currently a partner with Capital Area College Transition Program Demonstration site (serving 6 adult education programs) and will seek to partner with a least one proposal in the 2008 College Transition Program expansion.
UMA will continue to partner with the community colleges on the AdvantageU program that focuses on the successful transfer of community college liberal studies students. Beginning in September 2008, UMA will expand AdvantageU benefits (including a streamlined transfer process and early advising) to students in at least two additional programs at KVCC. Starting in September 2009, UMA will extend AdvantageU benefits to additional programs at CMCC and EMCC.
Beginning in September 2007, UMA will identify and work with Maine LiLA (Lifelong Learning Accounts) Employers to offer on-site information sessions and advising for interested employees.
