Governance Restructure

About the Restructure

Student Equity Plan

The MVC Student Equity Plan (SEP) is aligned with both the college’s Integrated Strategic Plan and the Guided Pathways Plan. The SEP is focused on boosting the achievement and closing equity gaps for disproportionately impacted students. Success indicators include successful enrollment, completion of transfer-level math and English, persistence from term to term, vision goal completion (completion of a certificate or degree in 3 or fewer years), and successful transfer to a four-year institution.

The 2022-25 Student Equity Plan was approved by the Riverside Community College District Board of Trustees on November 1, 2022.
