The Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Guided Pathways Team is composed of Faculty, Staff, Administrators, and a student. The team met for several days in January of 2018 to put together this plan. Palomar\u2019s goal, per the Chancellor\u2019s Office directive, is to implement the plan over a five year period and move the college from Early Adoption to a full scale Guided Pathways Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palomar College recognizes the diversity of our students\u2019 educational goals. Many of our students wish to move through our system efficiently, get the courses they need to transfer or obtain a career in a reasonable time frame. Our current system has many roadblocks for these students.  Palomar is developing and adopting the guided pathways framework to improve our current practices and to support students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please find the Guided Pathways plan below.  As ideas come in, we will continue to make improvements and post updates here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
