SBCTC is seeking to contract for a course sharing solution. The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) seeks to enhance educational access and equity across Washington's community and technical colleges through the implementation of a robust course sharing solution. This initiative is driven by the need to address existing challenges in course availability, student mobility, and institutional collaboration. Increase Course Accessibility: Many students face barriers due to limited course offerings at their home institutions. A course sharing solution will provide a broader range of classes, allowing students to enroll in courses that meet their academic goals without geographical constraints. Enhance Student Mobility: By facilitating cross-enrollment opportunities, we aim to support students in completing their degrees more efficiently. This will be particularly beneficial for those who wish to take advantage of specialized courses that may not be available at their primary institution. Promote Institutional Collaboration: The solution will foster partnerships among colleges, encouraging shared resources and collective teaching efforts. This collaboration can lead to improved curriculum development and increased faculty engagement across institutions.
