Transition Plan priorities

The Plan’s priorities were developed in collaboration with our accessibility committees and key stakeholders, highlighting our dedication to giving voice to our students, faculty, and staff with disabilities. A plethora of qualitative and quantitative data sources were used to develop the priorities, including accessibility assessments, survey data, and invaluable input from individuals with disabilities who shared their lived experiences at PCC.

Data and reports

Utilizing data is a critical component in understanding our successes and challenges related to accessibility at PCC. Our goal is to use data-driven insights to transform challenges into opportunities, making our decisions more impactful, and to be able to leverage resources where they are needed most. We invite you to explore the data provided and ask questions.

Review and update cycle (in progress)

The Plan will include a review cycle to ensure that it truly is a long-term and living plan that PCC can adapt and to respond to evolving needs and priorities. The Plan will be data-driven with metrics developed to measure our progress in meeting the plan’s priorities. Each of our Plan’s priorities will have responsible departments and/or officials identified to ensure accountability in meeting our goals.
