SCALING INSTRUCTIONAL EXCELLENCE FOR STUDENT SUCCESS

STUDENT LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The Chancellor’s Student Advisory Council (CSAC) was created in 1982 to provide an avenue for all student leaders to address student issues common to all campuses within the Texas A&M University System. Membership consists of two student representatives from each institution.
In 2005, the 79th Texas Legislature authorized the Governor to appoint a nonvoting student regent for a university system board of regents. Section 51.355 of the Texas Education Code provides for the annual appointment of one student regent to a university system board of regents. This statute defines the powers and duties of a student regent, establishes the appointment and application procedure, and provides qualifications to be appointed and to remain a student regent throughout the term.
Section 61.0225 of the Texas Education Code provides for the annual appointment of one non-voting student representative to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board by the governor of the State of Texas. This statute defines the powers and duties of a student representative, representative, establishes the appointment and application procedure, and provides qualifications to be appointed and to remain a non-voting student representative throughout the term.

Throughout the higher education industry, institutions have begun to reassess and consider the design of degree completion strategies. Two popular strategies are competency-based education (CBE) and prior learning assessment (PLA). Both strategies aim to aide students in their degree completion and offer institutions an innovative outlet by which to meet student needs. Trends and details for each strategy are outlined below in accordance with SACSCOC policies and System considerations. This is not an endorsement of either strategy, but rather a presentation of the components of two specific strategies geared to improve degree completion.
