Summary
Laura Polega, Rural Program Director, briefed the board on Degree Forward—a competency-based pathway through Southern New Hampshire University—and said the program is looking for five Sanilac County students for associate and bachelor's degree pathways.
At the June 2 meeting Laura Polega, Rural Program Director, presented an overview of Degree Forward, a competency-based program that enables participants to earn associate's and bachelor's degrees through Southern New Hampshire University. Polega said the program offers a pathway for local students who prefer competency-based progression rather than traditional credit-hour sequencing and that the program is currently looking for five Sanilac County students.
Polega described Degree Forward as a local outreach effort to connect county residents with an alternative route to postsecondary credentials; the minutes do not list application details, eligibility criteria or deadlines. No formal board action was taken on the presentation; it was recorded as an informational overview in the meeting minutes.
