	Lane Community College, Chapter 8 ñ Transfer (pg
		Community colleges across the nation serve multiple missions, from general education for students aspiring to transfer to four-year institutions, to workforce training, to lifelong and community education.
		A large number of community colleges across the nation are beginning to view learning as their fundamental mission, a movement that is commonly referred to as learning-centered institutions.
		The HCCS is ranked the second largest community college in the country by Community College Week in its annual special report of the 100 largest community colleges in the nation, with a spring term enrollment of 30,080 (www.hccs.cc.tx.us on 6/20/01).

	Community college - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most community colleges are operated either by special districts that draw property tax revenue from the local community, or by a division of the state university.
		Community colleges have little or no time limits on when classes must be taken or a degree must be earned; in contrast, many four-year schools, tired of "professional students" taking up limited space, have imposed limits on when a degree can be earned.
		Community colleges typically have smaller libraries than universities, possibly reducing the research opportunities of their students (though libraries may be part of an interlibrary loan agreement with other libraries at universities).

	TSPR Houston Community College System - Chapter 9
		Partnerships are important at community colleges because they provide opportunities to disseminate information, to gather feedback from the community, to generate external support and to maximize the resources of the community for the advancement of the institution.
		By providing colleges with the funds to hire new faculty, hospitals are enabling colleges to enroll more students and graduate more nurses, while they adhere to the strict student-faculty limitations set by the national accrediting agency for nursing education.
		Moreover, many community college students transfer to four-year institutions and transfer their loyalty accordingly to colleges and universities that are more experienced in establishing and maintaining effective alumni relations.

	College Without Walls
		Paradoxically the College Without Walls has been DISSOLVED as an operating entity, its functions taken over by the five remaining colleges and its distance outreach now managed by the Southeast College as a systems function.
		Administration Within the College Without Walls, which included Distance Learning as a sub- entity, it was possible for a distance course to be considered as a part of an instructor's full-time load, with instructors teaching a 100% distance course load during certain semesters.
		CONCLUSIONS The Houston Community College System has made a good beginning in delivering courses via "online delivery." We have not done the best job of capitalizing on our promising start and seem to have drifted without a clear sense of where to go next as we move into our sixth year of continuous restructuring.
