Chart Your Own Course
West Kentucky Community and Technical College’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) Chart Your Own Course is designed to help students navigate their college experiences while promoting a culture of credential completion. By aligning academic and student support services with shared practices and resources, students will be empowered to take ownership of their academic and career goals.
Chart Your Own Course enhances student learning through personal and career exploration and strengthens student understanding of academic and career pathways leading to successful achievement of academic and career goals.
As part of Chart Your Own Course, students will
- Identify a career goal that aligns with individual strengths
- Develop an academic plan that aligns with the identified career goal
- Demonstrate continued, measurable progress in the timely achievement of the academic plan
The College will use its academic success course, FYE 105 Achieving Academic Success, to help students chart their own course. FYE 105 assignments will be used to assess students’ identification of a career goal that aligns with personal strengths and to determine the extent to which students develop an academic plan that aligns with their career goal. The Appreciative Advising model will support student demonstration of continued, measurable progress in the timely achievement of their academic plan which will be assessed by student attainment of 15/30/45/60 credit hours, credential attainment, and transfer.
