Butte College uses its Multi-year, Integrated Planning System (MIPS) and its annual Planning, Budgeting, 和评估(PBA)过程，以保持其对学生学习的关注，并调整其系统以实现这一目标. A key input into this process are external plans and priorities such as federal requirements, the Chancellor’s Office Vision for Success, and the results of internal and external assessments.

MIPS
The Multi-year, Integrated Planning System (MIPS) links the college's long-term, episodic, and annual planning processes into an integrated system. The college's Planning and Budget Committee reviews MIPS each year and updates it as necessary. The MIPS flowchart provides a graphical representation and a text description of the MIPS components.

These components include:

Institutional Bedrock

Mission/Values/Vision
Institutional Assessments

Strategic Initiatives
Educational Master Plan

Supporting Plans

Butte College Integrated Plan 2017-19
Equal Employment Opportunity Plan
Facilities Master Plan
Foundation Fundraising Plan 2018-2019
Student Equity Plan (2019-2022)
Technology Master Plan
Program Review
Unit Plans

PBA
The Planning, 预算和评估(PBA)流程是学院用于联系其年度计划的机制, budgeting and assessment efforts.  这样做的目的是确保学院将重点放在实施其制度举措上, that planning informs budgeting, and that assessment efforts drive planning.  

The PBA process flowchart provides a graphic representation of the PBA process to include activities, timelines, and how each of these activities is integrated. The text description of the text description of the PBA process provides details on each step of the process.

Planning

MIPS和PBA流程之间的一个关键连接点是对学院年度报告的审查和改进 Strategic Direction.  战略方向是学院实施其战略举措的年度战略. 作为PBA流程的一部分，它每年都会更新，部门在制定部门计划时，需要将其未来发展战略与战略方向联系起来.

为了给学院提供重点，战略方向的某些目标被指定为 Strategic Direction Themes for the upcoming year. These institutional themes are developed by the Educational Master Planning Committee, approved by the constituent groups, and approved by the Planning and Budget Committee.

在教育总体规划委员会审查和完善战略方向的同时，它也审查和完善学院的战略方向 Standards and Goals for Student Achievement. These are approved using the same process as Strategic Direction and institutional priorities.

Each year, programs and areas develop unit plans based on the Strategic Direction, program review results, institutional assessments, and program data. The Unit Planning Guidance 描述当前流程，以包括通过单元规划生成的资源请求的一般优先级. 对于发生在2014-2015年的过程，学院提供了申请和优先资助项目的指导 alternative funding sources.

The Environmental Scan provides internal and external factors that should be considered during planning.

Periodically, planning updates are provided to make the campus community awareness of external changes that will affect planning, the availability of new data, and the current status of planning initiatives.

Budgeting

Each year, the Leadership Teams review state priorities and initiatives, the Strategic Direction, 以及前一年的活动和对额外资源的请求，以获得来自单位计划的额外或新的资金. 行政副总裁根据来自州和地方的最新信息审查和制定收入和支出方案. The Planning and Budget Committee reviews and, if necessary, recommends revisions to the Board’s Budget Criteria. After the Board approves its Board Budget Criteria, a tentative budget is prepared for the Board of Trustees to approve in June. A final budget is prepared in September, after the state has passed its budget and the college has closed the prior fiscal year.

Every year, 资源已通过PBA流程分配，并经财务管理部门审查和批准 Planning and Budget Committee, each of the four administrative areas (Administration, Student Learning and Economic Development, Student Services, 以及规划研究和组织发展)制定其可衡量的年度成果.  这些目标由总裁批准，并在各领域制定单位计划时，由每位副总裁和总裁审查这些目标的实施进展，作为评估过程的一部分.

Assessment

The college’s Outcomes Assessment Process is designed to support the planning processes. Outcomes are established, assessed, and dialogued about at the Institutional, Program and Course levels.

成果评估委员会负责监督和协调学院的成果评估工作.  As part of this process, the committee reviews and refines the Outcomes Assessment Plan Implementation Matrix that serves as the operational portion of the Outcomes Assessment Plan.  本文件提供了学院当前的策略，以确保其评估机制的重点是改善其教学计划, student support services, and library and other learning support services.

学院提供了许多评估机制来支持成果评估过程，并为多年综合规划系统(MIPS)和PBA过程的要素发展提供信息. At the institutional level these include:

Balanced Scorecard.This document, which is based on the college’s Progression and Completion Model, 提供了一个十大网赌正规平台在实现其战略方向中确定的成果方面的全球视角.

Demographic Snapshot. 人口统计快照通过提供有关学院服务区域的信息，为规划奠定了基础, student demographics, student enrollment patterns, and staffing. It also contains the college's environmental scan.

Program Review Data. This provides most of the information required for academic program review.

Strategic Direction Review. This document, which is available in the Educational Master Planning Committee page in MyBC, 回顾学院在实现战略方向的倡议和目标方面的进展. It is used by the Educational Master Planning Committee as it updates Strategic Direction. 

Accreditation Review. Each year, as part of the college’s ongoing accreditation process, 每个标准(组成部分)的倡导者对学院是否符合其指定的标准(组成部分)进行审查。. The result of this review, along with the evidence that supports it, is in MyBC.

Surveys. 学院进行了几项机构调查，为战略方向和项目审查的审查和改进提供信息. These include the following:

Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE).

In 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2017 the college administered the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE). 这项全国标准化的学生调查使学院能够将自己与全国其他大型社区学院在最有可能导致学生成功的领域进行比较. Butte College CCSSE results include:

Executive Summary.  这显示了我们在五个基准上的整体表现，以及我们在学生参与度方面的五个最高和五个最低的方面.   执行摘要还包括社区学院教师学生参与调查(CCFSSE)的结果摘要。.  We did not take this survey but the overall results for those colleges that did is included.

Benchmarks by Enrollment Status.  本节显示了基准调查的结果，并与我们的大型大学比较组和整体CCSSE队列进行了比较.  This information is broken out by enrollment status – full-time and part-time. 

Results and Comparison Analysis.  This shows the results by question and compares these with questions asked in previous surveys.  You’ll notice that, while many of the questions on the survey have changed, the results tend to be consistent. 

Accreditation Follow-Up Survey (Faculty and Staff). This survey, which is conducted every year, 提供一些大学过程的有效性信息-主要是在规划领域, budgeting, and participatory governance.

Accreditation Survey (Students). This survey, which is conducted every year, provides feedback on student participation on campus, programs and services.

Completers and Leavers Survey. This survey, which has been conducted once but is planned to be conducted every three years, 向学院提供项目完成人员和离校人员的反馈，以及过渡到劳动力市场的学生的工资信息. Results are at the Outcomes Assessment Committee MyBC page in Shared Documents.

Reports Server. 每次请求报表时，报表模板都会在Reports Server中更新，并自动填充报表. The Reports Server includes over 300 reports in the areas of Business Office, Facilities, Institutional Research, Instruction, Scheduling, and Student Services. The Institutional Research area includes reports on Enrollment Management, Cohort Tracking, Funding, Program Review, and Scheduling.

State Student Success Scorecard. 国家学生成功记分卡提供了与学生进步和完成相关的各种指标. The Board of Trustees is required to review this information each year.

State DataMart. The DataMart provides a variety of reports in the general areas of Students and Headcount, Courses, Student Services, Outcomes, and Faculty and Staff. 这些数据来自学院半年度的管理信息系统数据提交，包括系统范围的报告以及系统中每个学院的报告.

Salary Surfer. 该工具提供有关学生完成学位或证书三年后的工资信息. Students that transfer are not included. Since the data is obtained through the state Employment Development Department (EDD), 许多完成者被排除在外，因为他们的工资没有向加州政府报告失业保险.
