Annual Planning at SCC Consists of Two Parts:

1. Resource Requests

This part of the process will be used to identify your resource needs over and above what is currently in your annual budget. If you do not have any additional resource needs, you can proceed to step 2.

The first form will collect your resource needs for funding that may be available within the current year and for the upcoming year. You can submit permanent resource needs or one-time (non-recurring) needs. If approved, permanent resources will be allocated to your department's budget and available to spend annually. One-time resources will be allocated to you for use within the year they are requested.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of examples of resources that you can request:

• Supplies

• Equipment

• Furniture

• Technology

See the rubrics below to understand how resource requests will be prioritized for funding.

2. Goal Setting

What goals does your department have for the next year? Use this form to let us know! You can submit up to 3 of your departments primary goals.

We want all of our departments to set meaningful goals. You might be doing this through the 4DX framework and you might have additional goals that are not using that framework. We would like to know the top 1-3 goals for your department. This information will help us know how our college is moving forward strategically. 

Are you trying to decide which of your goals you should submit? Pick goals that align to our college's strategic priorities or goals that are most closely associated with your resource needs.

This section of the process will evolve to become increasingly meaningful in future years as we finalize the development of our new Strategic Plan!

2025-2026

• Resource requests for 2025-2026 can be submitted at any time.

• The SPARC Annual Planning Subcommittee has developed a cycle for reviewing, prioritizing and funding requests:

2024-2025

• The annual resource request process was piloted in Spring 2025. If you submitted a request, you can view the status of those requests here: 

2024-2025 Resource Request Status Dashboard - this dashboard will only present the status for requests to those who submitted the original request

Resource requests will be prioritized initially by executive leadership and then will be reviewed by SPARC for final allocation decisions. 

Below are the rubrics that will be used for the prioritization process.
