Institutional Planning Documents
This page contains information related to institutional planning processes, policies, and procedures.
The comprehensive planning process is implemented every ten years and involves envisioning what the institution is, what it does, and why it does it. The final result of the comprehensive planning process is the Comprehensive Integrated Plan, a document with a broad scope that brings together all institution’s sectors and is developed based on a long-range time perspective. The Comprehensive Integrated Plan is constituted by five plans: The Educational Plan (which serves as guide for developing the other three plans), the Technology Plan, the Facilities Plan, the People Plan, and the Safety, Security, and Accessibility Plan.
The comprehensive planning process is led by a task force that is convened for this purpose. In the taskforce, all El Camino College constituencies are represented so that principles of integrated planning are appropriately implemented.
El Camino College is currently in the process of drafting a new comprehensive plan. More information regarding this process, including membership of this taskforce, can be found on the Comprehensive Integrated Planning website.

The strategic planning process takes place every three years and involves implementing selected aspects of the Comprehensive Integrated Plan. The final result of this process is the Strategic Plan, a document that operationalizes and articulates the Comprehensive Integrated Plan. The Strategic Plan identifies:
- Desired outcomes at the end of the three implementation cycle with an outcome champion monitor progress of the outcome,
- Initiatives that contribute to each outcome with responsible parties
- 3-year milestones to achieve the 10-year CIP goal metric targets
Within the 10-year comprehensive planning process, three strategic planning processes take place, resulting in three strategic plans, one for the first 3-years, one for the second 3-year period, and another plan for the remaining timeframe.
The strategic planning process is led by a task force that is convened for this purpose. In the taskforce, all El Camino College constituencies are represented so that principles of integrated planning are appropriately implemented.

Some institutional-level plans revolve around cross-cutting issues which should be addressed by all levels of the Institution. By clearly articulating the priorities around these cross-cutting issues, these related plans encourage coordination and participation at all levels of the Institution.
