The Guided Pathways Model creates a highly structured approach to students success that:
 |
Provides all students with a set of clear course-taking patterns that promotes better enrollment decisions and prepares students for future success. |
 |
Integrates support services in ways that make it easier for students to get the help they need during every step of their community college experience. |
