College Planning

At Diablo Valley College, college planning helps ensure institutional priorities, decision-making, and resources remain focused on advancing equitable student outcomes and supporting student achievement.

Integrated Planning

Integrated Planning refers to an ongoing, documented and systematic cycle of planning, resource allocation, program review and evaluation that links resources to planning, enhances institutional effectiveness and promotes student learning and achievement.

  • College plans establish institutional priorities, goals, and strategies that guide the college's work. The overarching plan for all actions at the colleges is the Educational Strategic Plan. Other plans outline goals and strategies in specific areas of the college.
