MEMO
From: Stephen Siciliano, Vice President for Educational Services,
Marguerite Cotto, Vice President for Lifelong and Professional
Learning Jerry Achenbach, Superintendent of the Great Lakes
Maritime Academy
Date: April 15, 2013
Subject: Bachelor of Science in Maritime Technology Degree Board
Authorization Requested We are requesting that the Board authorize
Northwestern Michigan College to offer the Bachelor of Science in
Maritime Technology Degree. Under this degree, the college will
initially offer the Maritime Deck Officer and Maritime Engineering
Officer programs.
Pending approval from the Higher Learning Commission, this
authorization would be effective for cadets in our current Maritime
Associate in Applied Science programs starting in the 2013-2014
academic year.
Background The Michigan Legislature passed House Bill 4496 enabling
Michigan community colleges to offer a select number of
baccalaureate degrees, among them a Bachelor of Science degree in
Maritime Technology on December 13, 2012. The Governor signed the
bill into law on December 27, 2012. NMC seeks to offer a Bachelor
of Science (BS) in Maritime Technology with two occupational
pathways. The college seeks to offer a bachelor’s degree that
includes at least eighty credits of the Maritime curriculum of our
current Associate of Applied Science degree, ten credits of
business and related courses, and thirty credits of general
education that supports the technical course work. We are required
by the United States Coast Guard to offer the BS in order for our
students to be eligible to apply for federal licensure for either
their Third Mate or Third Class Engineer credentials. The model
schedules for the BS degree for the Maritime Deck Officer and
Maritime Engineering Officer programs are attached.

Subject: Five Year Technology Resources Technology changes that
have occurred in the past 20 years will pale in comparison to what
will occur over the next five years. Computers that once took rooms
to house and a large staff to program and run had less ability and
capacity than we now have and can carry in our pockets. The
expectation today is that all students and employees will have
access to all information, services and applications from anywhere
at any time. As with all businesses, technology needed to compete
in today’s global market continues to change and grow. Emphasis to
date has been on the technology itself as well as the technology
infrastructure. As we move forward more focus will need to be
placed on the collaborative nature of technology and how it can
best be applied to solve our strategic institutional challenges. As
technology becomes more pervasive, the cost of technology will
shift from buying the machines to supporting the machines and the
people who use them. Technology planning for any organization
requires analysis of long term direction and goals. NMC has worked
through this process to not only identify specific current projects
for FY2013, but also identify projects through FY2018. Presented
tonight are three projects for current year approval. The College
felt a roadmap of future projects would provide beneficial
information on the technology planning process. Projects that have
been identified for future years cover many different areas of
institutional Strategic Direction and Institutional Effectiveness
Criteria. All of these projects will require expenditures for
staffing, software license purchase and training. The outcomes will
impact Learner Success, Fiscal Thrivability and Lifelong
Relationships. The following guidelines are used in the selection
of process as projects are evaluated:
• Our learners and employees will want access to all information,
services and applications at anytime and from anyplace.
• Our learners and employees will have their own devices and expect
to use them to do what needs to be done.
• Learners will want to be able to collaborate with each other,
both in the classroom and online.
• Instructors will want to have a variety of learning approaches
available to them: simulations, collaboration, holography,
etc.
• Most classes will use the web more and more, with the use of
in-classroom time changing, and in some cases, decreasing.
• Our learning and employees will expect support 24x7. • Employees
will be able to get the reports and analysis they need when they
need it. • There will be pressure between the organization’s need
for security and the individual’s
need to do all of the above.
MEMO Learning Resources and Technologies
10
April 15, 2013 Page Two Additionally, we believe that a complete
view of the technology resources required to operate the College
needed to be presented. The expenses are placed in one of three
categories:
• Instruction – expenses that are incurred that are used in only
instruction. • Infrastructure – expense and technology that is used
to support the operation of the
College. • Both – items that are part of Instruction and
Infrastructure.
As part of the evaluation, consideration was given to not only the
identified technology projects, but also the ongoing annual
software maintenance contracts, technology hardware replacement
expenses that are required for all areas of the College and
personnel cost for direct support of the College technology system.
Charts and tables illustrating the projected resource needs through
fiscal year 2018 are attached. While we have attempted to divide
the technology expenses into one of three categories, all of the
funds that are spent in support of technology are to improve our
instructional process and students. Items that are listed as
infrastructure may not have a direct connection to the classroom
and instruction, but they are necessary and required to support the
process of instruction.

Total amount of funds for above projects - $445,000 Funding Source
It is recommended that the Plant Fund reserves finance the current
technology requests. The reserves in the Plant fund are set aside
for capital purchases of significant long-term value. These
purchases are intended as an investment in the college’s future.
These purchases are of significant long-term value for the college
and on-going operating costs for these purchases are built into our
operating budget. Background The complete Technology Plan list was
prioritized to determine the projects that would be focused on
during this fiscal year. The table shown below outlines the

To solve what problem(s)
• As NMC emphasizes enrollment management versus a fulfillment
model, each recruiter is expected to work with more prospects and
yield more admits. To do so requires the ability to work more
efficiently and automate as much of the process as possible.
• We need to ensure that prospects’ needs are being met to convert
them to Learners.
• Create more time for Aviation and GLMA staff to work with current
students to increase retention and student success
Specific solution and resources required
• License and implement the Ellucian Recruiter software. Estimated
costs for licensing and implementation are $200,000 and then
$30,000 per year.
• ITS staffing – at least .5 FTE initially and .25 FTE ongoing •
Recruitment staff - .5 FTE initially for project lead and probably
.10 FTE for
each recruiter for the first year Benefits • Increase number of
registered students by increasing yields from inquiries
to applicants to admitted to registered. o Increase general
enrollment by 1%, or about $127,000 without adding
additional staff (1 FTE staff – about $50,000 per year). o
International Students – increase number of students without
adding
full-time staff (1 FTE staff – about $65,000 per year). Increase
revenue by $87,000 for 10 international students1.
o Aviation – increase students in program by 2 per year. Impact is
about $20,000 per student, or $40,000 per year2.
• Increase retention of students o Within GLMA, increase retention
by 5 students per year, the net
revenue increase is $6,300 per year and the total tuition revenue
increase is $40,000 per year3.
• Summary: savings from unneeded positions is about $115,000/year;
revenue increases could be $294,000 per year.
Timeframe • FY13
1 Each full-time enrolled international student living in the
residence hall brings in approximately $8,700 more per year than an
in-district student (with 24 contact hours per year.) 2 The total
cost for a student, using the Aviation Model Schedule is about
$60,000. Using the Cost to Educate analysis for 2012, the costs of
the Aviation Flight Program are about 2/3 of the total revenue.
Therefore, approximately $20,000 (1/3 of $60,000) is net revenue
per flight student. 3 Each program consists of 89 GLMA contact
hours. In 2012, the Cost to Education per contact hour for GLMA was
- $57. 89 contact hours averaged over 4 years is 22 contact
hours/year/student. If GLMA recruiters increase retention by 5
students per year, the net revenue is $6300 per year. However,
improving retention should not require an increase in the number of
faculty since the increase will just improve section efficienty.
With a tuition rate of $361.15 per hour, the increase in tuition
revenue could be $40,000 per year.

Provide better information to students regarding degree auditing
and planning
For Whom • All academic students • Full-time Advisors • Faculty
Advisors • Admissions Recruiters
To solve what problem(s)
• Provide better information to Students regarding degree auditing
and planning
• It is difficult for students to use the current degree audit to
determine what their progress is towards a degree
• Admissions recruiters and students are unable to run “what if”
scenarios for different degrees and certificates
• Advisors spend more time with the minutiae of scheduling rather
than more important conversations with the student
Specific solution and resources required
• License and implement the Ellucian DegreeWorks software.
Estimated costs for licensing and implementation are $195,000 and
then $10,000 per year.
• ITS staffing – at least .75 FTE initially and .10 FTE ongoing •
Records and Registration staff - .75 FTE initially for project lead
and .10 FTE
ongoing Benefits • With improved information regarding progress
towards a degree or
certificate, students will be more motivated to complete and will
take the appropriate courses. The result should be improved
retention and completion4, strategic goals for NMC.
• Advisors can work more effectively and efficiently. They can have
discussions about which program is right for the student and help
think through various scenarios, and focus on other issues that are
hindering the student. This will enable NMC to interact with each
student in a single year.
• Increased accuracy of faculty/staff advising promotes timely
graduation and yields additional degrees awarded to students.
• Increased accuracy of faculty / staff advising promotes timely
graduation and yields additional degrees awarded to students
• 20% time savings during heavy advising season, which is when the
workload becomes too much to keep up with each day. Using Degree
Works will allow timely response to all program inquiries and tour
requests.
• Degree Works would cut the time to fill out students' PETE
financial aid forms by 90% for each of approximately 50
students/year (Aviation)
Timeframe • FY13
4 Students at Skyline College, College of San Mateo and Cañada
College appreciated the improvement in the information provided and
found it useful in planning.

Enrollment Management & Student Services Date: April 13, 2013
Subject: Enrollment Update – Summer 2013, Fall 2013 Summer 2013
Projections for summer enrollment have remained, as in previous
months, lower than SU2012 which is expected based on the FA2012 and
SP2013 enrollment. New Student Orientations began April 12, 2013
for SU2013 and FA2013 with sessions at maximum capacity. The next
NSO is scheduled for May 10, 2013. In addition, the response from
area high schools and high school students and their families has
been very positive to the upcoming NSO sessions designed for Dual
Enrolled students. Data from NMC’s digital dashboard is reviewed
daily to note changes when comparing current data with previous
years and determining the impact of initiatives such as New Student
Orientation designed for Dual Enrolled students. This daily review
and the initiatives with their corresponding expected impact, along
with regional population, employment and high school graduation
trends are the basis for formulating enrollment goals which inform
a portion of the framework for budget development. The first data
section reflects the comparison of final count for summer semesters
2009 through 2012 and then a projection count for SU2013. The
second data section includes the same date comparison for the past
three years and this current year. Digital Dashboard Statistics

Fall 2013 Fall enrollment continues to trend higher in the new
students category related to applications received and orientation
/ registration completed. New student inquiries and admits are
similar to last year’s numbers. Registration, which began March 13,
2013, was intentionally moved earlier this year in order to assist
students in completing their advising appointments and their summer
and fall enrollment decisions prior to Spring Break. Previous
years’ registration numbers will be closer to the current year when
compared in the upcoming May Enrollment Update. The first data
section reflects the comparison of final count for fall semesters
2009 through 2012 and then a projection count for FA2013. The

From: Vicki Cook, VP Finance and Administration
Date: April 10, 2013
Subject: Summary Report for the General Fund as of March 31,
2013
The attached reports summarize the financial results for the
General Fund as of March 31, 2013;
the ninth month of the fiscal year. This period represents 75% of
the year.
Month End Results
The general fund ended the month with an excess of revenue over
expenses in the amount of
$5,291,314. Revenue is consistent with March 2012. Expenses
increased by 2% when
comparing March 2013 to March 2012 due, in part, to timing of
contracts and capital outlay
purchases.
Revenue (letters refer to the attached General Fund summary)
A. Tuition and fees revenue: Tuition and fees represent a 3%
decrease from those of March
2012. For spring 2013 the budget is set at 54,964 billing hours for
budgeted revenue of
$6,996,447. Currently actual billing hours are 49,009 for a total
of $6,379,641in tuition
revenue. This is a shortfall of $616,806. Additional savings in
expenses have been identified
in the attached projections report. We are confident that we will
have a balanced budget by
year end.
B. Property Taxes: The collection of summer property taxes began in
July. Currently, property
tax revenue increased by 1% compared with the same period last
year. The fiscal year 2013
budgeted amount is 1% decrease from fiscal year 2012 actual.
Revenue is recognized as
payments are received from taxing jurisdictions. The county has
indicated that our actual
revenue will be slightly higher than budgeted. We have projected
$50,000 additional
revenue based on their final settlement report.
C. State Sources began in October with receipt of the first state
aid payment.
D. Federal Sources, which consist primarily of the MARAD grants.
Activity to date is a
reimbursement from MARAD for the purchase of fuel, simulation
equipment and
approximately ½ of our annual grant funding.
E. Interest earnings fluctuate with investment levels, which is
dependent on the timing of cash
flows and the movement of money into and out of investment
vehicles.
F. Both Private Sources and Other Sources are timing and event
dependent.

Expenses
G. Salary and benefit costs are consistent with this time last
year.
H. All other expenses are under budget at this time with the
exception of capital.
I. Capital Outlay reflects expenditures budgeted through the
allocation of COAT dollars, the
Plant Fund, BBQ funds, contingencies, and reserves related to
Maritime and Fitness Center
Equipment. These are timing dependent based on need. The major
purchase of the Maritime
simulator is the largest capital expense to date.

State & Legislative Matters
2013 - 2014 Community College Budget Advances: As expected, this
week both the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Community
Colleges and the full House Appropriations Committee took action on
funding for community colleges. Points of difference between the
House and Senate budgets which will be resolved as the process
moves forward are as follows:
1. $1.1 million for the VLC enhancements. The House has removed
this funding along with many of the program increases in all of the
budgets in order to dedicate more money to roads and other
priorities. Senate retains the funding.
2. New language to restrict the 2% increase to those institutions
that have not entered into long- term labor contracts without 10%
savings. House budget includes this language, Senate does
not.
3. Language requiring the Department of Technology, Management, and
Budget to report on the number of students that successfully
complete a skilled trades program and obtain an apprenticeship or
job. Senate includes this language, House does not.

reported from committee, please click here. To view the Senate

possible changes to the state’s Merit Curriculum for high school
students, adopted in 2006, continued Wednesday as the House
Education Committee took testimony on House Bills 4465 (McBroom)
and 4466 (Johnson). Along with several other bills introduced this
session, HB’s 4465 and 4466 raise the question of whether the
current curriculum allows sufficient flexibility for students,
particularly those interested in pursuing vocational and technical

activities on campus only when lawfully sponsored by a recognized
NMC student club/organization, academic group, office/work
area/employee group, or the college as a whole, (“recognized
college entity”). All organizations desiring to conduct
fundraising/soliciting activities on campus must adhere to college
policies and procedures. 1. DEFINITIONS

Recognized College entities desiring to conduct or sponsor
solicitation activities must request approval as follows:
a. Recognized NMC Student Clubs and Organizations Recognized NMC

Scheduling. If the activity is disapproved, the Associate Dean of
Student Life will notify the club/organization of the disposition
