Norco College Affordable, High-Quality Education for Local Students As the cost of attending Cal State or UC becomes more expensive, many students, especially those from middle class and lower income families, start their education at community colleges. Nearly 40% of all local high school graduates seek higher education at local community colleges like Norco College and others in the Riverside Community College District. Serving Our Community and Local Economy Norco College, Moreno Valley College and Riverside City College are vital community resources, providing career technical education to the healthcare professionals, law enforcement officers, firefighters and skilled workers who serve us. We are proud to provide a high-quality, affordable education opportunity to thousands of students who become future personnel for the local industries, companies and services that serve our communities. Last year alone, our colleges added nearly $1 billion to the local economy and supported nearly 13,000 jobs. Helping Veterans Norco joins the other RCCD colleges to collectively provide job placement, job training and counseling to about 1,800 vets every day. Upgrading Classrooms and Labs to Prepare Students for Careers While our campus has had some updates over the years, student demand and academic standards continue to rise. To remain competitive and serve our students and communities for decades to come, we need to repair and upgrade Norco College classrooms and labs to help prepare students for future success. You can find the Norco College Facilities Master Plan and learn more about planned projects at www.rccd.edu/potentialmeasure. Local Funding to Support Student Success To continue providing affordable, high-quality education, the RCCD Board of Trustees is considering a local bond measure. A potential measure would: n Enable Norco College to become a comprehensive college, expanding the range of classes, degrees and career-training courses offered, and completing Phase 1 of a STEM building that provides instructional space for science, technology, engineering and math programs n Maintain classrooms and student service centers by replacing leaky roofs, rusty plumbing, and outdated and faulty electrical systems where needed n Improve access for students with disabilities at all campuses n Upgrade outdated classrooms, science labs and career training facilities n Expand and improve Veterans’ Centers that support military Veterans and their families n Improve student safety and campus security systems including security lighting, cameras, emergency communications systems, smoke detectors and fire alarms Fiscal Accountability and Independent Oversight A local measure could generate up to $840 million to upgrade Norco College as well as our other RCCD colleges, and it would cost the typical homeowner approximately $66 per year. All money raised by the measure would stay local to support our community colleges and students — no funds could be taken by the State. A clear system of accountability would be required, including a project list detailing exactly how the money would be used, a Citizens’ Oversight Committee and independent audits. Your Feedback Is Important to Us Norco College welcomes your comments and questions as it evaluates the needs of our community. Please contact Vice Chancellor Aaron Brown at (951) 328-3872 or [email protected] with any questions or feedback. www.norcocollege.edu /NorcoCollege @NorcoCollege.

Academic Master Plan 2005
Academic Master Plan Table of Contents Executive Summary i Section 1 Introduction 1 Section 2 Key Planning Elements 4 Section 3 Students and Learning 9 Section 4 Data and Research 11 Section 5 Instructional Program 14 Section 6 Methodology 16 Section 7 Riverside City College 17 Section 8 Moreno Valley Campus 82 Section 9 Norco Campus 96 List of Documents 109 0 Academic Master Plan Executive Summary In fall 2003, a process began that would update the “Educational Master Plan of the District, 1997-2005 and Beyond,” a document that included unit plans for the future. The new process was guided by certain principles, among these were a belief that the process should consist of an open dialogue among department chairs throughout the District with key academic administrators and internally among members of departments. The intent of the process was to build upon a learner-centered curriculum framework, focusing on planning that would help shape the direction of the emerging colleges. The AMP is based on Riverside Community College District’s 2003-2004 strategic plan directing the academic community to utilize the curriculum-centered strategic planning model and the learner-centered curriculum framework. The AMP is built on two planning surveys completed by academic departments, begun in September 2003, updated in March 2004 and again in June 2005 and a facilities survey, conducted in spring 2004. This AMP, which is an aggregation of academic department plans, will serve as the foundation for additional and ongoing planning at the campus/college and District levels. It is intended to be flexible in adjusting to changing times, capable of responding to internal and external challenges and opportunities and dynamic in meeting the educational goals of students.
