QEP Outcome: NFC will increase the student success of first-generation PELL students seeking an associate in arts degree, with success defined as 150% completion and subsequent transfer into a baccalaureate degree program.

The Career Compass Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) at North Florida College (NFC) aims to improve student success outcomes through various structured goals and assessments. This commitment is evidenced by the significant allocation of resources to support this plan. To ensure the plan is positively impacting the QEP goals, the College will assess the QEP using a very prescribed approach by identifying and evaluating multiple metrics. The goals discussed in this section are the initial goals for the plan and may evolve during each evaluation period.

This section of the Quality Enhancement Plan includes detailed information about the following:

I) Goals and Objectives
II) Assessment Timeline
III) Planned Adjustments
IV) Expanding Target Cohort Projections
V) Stakeholder Reporting and Oversight
