SSP is an integrated, institution-wide framework for student success based on research supported by organizations such as Community College Research Center (CCRC), American Association of Community College (AACC), Achieving the Dream (ATD), Complete College America (CCA), Jobs for the Future (JFF) and Completion by Design (CBD).  
This SSP model is based on intentionally designed, clear and structured educational experiences that guide students from their point of entry to graduation, transfer and career.

Redesign is not the next step in a long line of reforms, but rather a framework that helps unify a variety of reforms.
Redesign must pay attention to the entire students experience, rather than to just one segment of it.
Process starts with students’ career and end goal in mind and “backward maps” programs and supports to ensure student success.
Understanding the student experience as a continuum is key.
The purpose of the Student Success Council (SSC) is to organize the seven community colleges around a cohesive and unified agenda to maximize and scale efforts for student success.
