The Cameron Education Center (CEC) began operation in January 2000 in Cameron,
Texas (population approximately 6,000 in rural Milam County), with a very small
enrollment; however, it has now grown to approximately 300 credit students with the
potential for growth approaching 500 students. Housed in a 25,000 square foot facility
near downtown Cameron, the CEC provides access to high quality classrooms and
computer laboratories, with dedicated space for student support services. Electronic
library support and library courier service is provided through the Main Campus. All
instructional and support services are managed through the appropriate departments and
divisions on the Main Campus, with line supervision provided by the Vice President of
Educational Services.

ABSTRACT (limit to one page or less)
The Cameron Education Center (CEC), 804 East First Street, Cameron Texas 76520-3401, (254)
697-8642, began operation in January 2000 in Cameron, Texas for students in the surrounding
area desiring postsecondary education. Cameron is a diverse community of approximately 6,037
people as estimated by the Texas State Data Center. Cameron is a rural community in Milam
County, located within the Temple College service area (See Appendix B: Temple College
Service Area Map.) When the CEC was created, Temple College had no intention of providing
more than 50% of the courses required to complete a degree at this Center and so notified the
Commission on Colleges following the 2000 reaffirmation of accreditation. This notification is
verified by the Commission on Colleges’ response letter from Dr. James T. Rogers dated August
23, 2000. (See Appendix C: Commission on Colleges’ Response Letter.)
While the CEC began with a very small enrollment, it has now grown to approximately 300
credit students with the potential for growth approaching 500 students. Housed in a 25,000
square foot facility near downtown Cameron, the CEC provides access to high quality
classrooms and computer laboratories. The CEC provides day and evening on-campus, online,
and hybrid credit courses, technical and workforce training, and continuing education classes.
The Cameron Industrial Foundation provided financial resources that enabled Temple College to
complete renovation of existing space. This space includes two science laboratories and two
classrooms, which were completed effective Fall 2008. These expanded labs and classrooms now
afford CEC the opportunity to provide more than 50% of the courses required to complete AA,
AAT, and AAS degrees. Additionally, the CEC has dedicated space for student support services,
including admissions, financial aid, and cashier functions. Electronic library support and library
courier service is provided through the Main Campus. All instructional and support services are
managed through the appropriate departments and divisions on the Main Campus, with line
supervision provided by the Vice President of Educational Services.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Provide a clear statement of the nature and purpose of the change in the context of the
institution’s mission and goals; evidence of the legal authority for the change (if
authorization is required by the governing board or the state); and whether the proposed
degree program or similar program is offered on the main campus or at other off-campus
sites.
According to Temple College’s purpose statement: “Temple College is a public community
college, founded in 1926 through the joint efforts of civic, business, and educational leaders. The
mission of Temple College is to serve the founders’ vision by meeting the needs of individual
students, area communities, and businesses through quality educational programs and services
that reflect our commitment to quality and integrity while preparing our diverse population as
they enter an ever-changing global society.” (Temple College 2008-2009 Catalog, p. 11). This
substantive change at the Cameron Education Center is in keeping with this purpose. First, this
change meets the needs of individual students. Second, this change meets the needs of area
communities, specifically Cameron and surrounding communities.
Since opening its doors in 2000, CEC has continued to grow in enrollment. Currently, CEC has
approximately 119 full-time equivalent students. The community of Cameron has financially
supported the CEC. Cameron’s latest support came in the form of monies to build-out two
science laboratories and two new classrooms. This expansion, operational Fall 2008, has allowed
CEC to provide more than 50% of the AA, AAT, and AAS degrees to students.
The expanded classrooms were completed in response to a middle college designation for CEC.
One provision made by the State of Texas to permit high school juniors and seniors to complete
more than six hours of dual credit courses per semester is the Middle College. A community
college must receive formal approval for implementing this well-defined format from both the
Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB).
Temple College has received Middle College designation from the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board for the CEC and was approved July 27, 2007. This middle college
designation will allow academically prepared high school students to enroll in more than two
dual credit classes in one semester. However, students are required to attend classes at the CEC
to qualify for participation. The CEC middle college designation has not been fully implemented,
however it, along with the expanded facilities, will allow for more than 50% of the AA, AAT,
and AAS degrees to be completed at CEC.
The curricula offered at the CEC, including the AA, AAT, and AAS are the same programs that
are offered on the main campus of Temple College.
ASSESSMENT OF NEED AND PROGRAM PLANNING/APPROVAL
Discuss the rationale for the change, including an assessment of need; evidence of inclusion
of the change in the institution’s ongoing planning and evaluation processes; and
Page 6
documentation that faculty and other groups were involved in the review and approval of
the new site or program.
In 2006, the CEC’s student headcount had been constant at approximately 250 students for the
past two years. It was felt that the CEC had much potential. Consideration was given to the
development of a Forensic Science program at CEC. This was done in conjunction with Dr.
Karen Bleeker, Vice President of Education Services and Leslie Keeling-Olsen, Criminal Justice
Department Chair. Almost simultaneously, through the urging of the Cameron Economic
Development Foundation, an LVN program was considered. After careful study and
consideration, it was determined that the Forensic Science and LVN programs were not feasible
for CEC. That is when the concept of a middle college was contemplated as Temple College had
one very successful middle college in place in the form of the Texas Bioscience Institute. The
middle college would enable the area high schools to offer a wider array of science courses to
their junior and senior students.
The process of developing a middle college at the CEC began in response to requests from the
local independent school districts (ISD) in the CEC vicinity. Temple College completed
application to the THECB for approval of a middle college at the CEC. This was approved July
27, 2007. There are six independent school districts that formed an education consortium with
CEC. These independent school districts are: Buckholts ISD, Cameron ISD, Milano ISD,
Rockdale ISD, Rogers ISD, and Rosebud-Lott ISD.
The following is the chronology of planning for the CEC middle college and expansion efforts.
 April 2006






First time that LVN possibility was discussed. Only preliminary at this
point in time. However it was determined that science labs were needed at
the CEC, specifically to facilitate needed coursework for high school
students.
May 2006
Architect hired and initial drawings made
Summer 2006 Discussed Forensic Science program being developed in Cameron.
Weatherford College had the only approved community college program
in Texas, so it was decided not to continue with this idea.
Fall 2006
Full blown discussion of LVN program possibility at the Cameron Center.
Present at the meeting were Marc Nigliazzo, Karen Bleeker, John
Bicknell, Virginia Leek and members of the Cameron Economic
Development Foundation. It was decided at the meeting that having an
LVN program in Cameron was not feasible due to lack of clinical
locations.
Fall 2006
Informal discussions about the possibility of a middle college in Cameron
began with the consortium of independent school districts in the CEC area.
March 2007 Middle College talks began in earnest with the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board. The school districts and Temple College decided to
target Fall 2007 for middle college implementation.
March 2007 CEC Manager, John Bicknell, met with Nelda Howton, Mark Smith and
Danette Toone, all Temple College employees, to discuss the middle
college application process.
Page 7
 March 2007
It was determined that biology labs in the CEC would be completed for
Fall of 2008 students.
 April 2007
Preliminary cost of biology lab startup, supplies, and equipment was
garnered from Terry Austin, Biology Department Chair.
 May 2007
The middle college application was completed and sent to Temple College
staff for suggestions and/or modifications. Thereafter, the final middle
college application was sent to Temple College administration for
approval.
 May 2007
An architect was retained by the Cameron Industrial Council to redesign
the CEC for inclusion of science labs. This new plan was received from
architect and sent to appropriate college personnel
 June 2007

Middle College (See Appendix D, Cameron Education Center Middle
College Letter of Approval).
 Fall 2007
Many dual credit students started taking 3 and 4 courses, as permitted
under the middle college designation. Enrollment figures substantially
increased going from 83 FTE for FY 2006-07 to 119 FTE in FY 2007-08,
an increase of 43%.
 March 2008 A General Biology class was placed on CEC’s class schedule for Fall
2008.
 May 2008
Biology labs completed.
 Fall 2008

DESCRIPTION OF THE CHANGE
Provide a description of the proposed change, including the specific outcomes and learning
objectives of the program, a schedule of proposed course offerings for the first year, and a
copy of course syllabi. In the case of a change involving the initiation of a branch campus
or of an off-site program, indicate the educational program to be offered. Describe any
differences in admission, curriculum, or graduation requirements for students enrolled at
the new site(s), or any special arrangements for grading, transcripts, or transfer policies.
Describe administrative oversight to ensure the quality of the program or services to be
offered.
While the CEC began with a very small enrollment, it has now grown to approximately 300
credit students with the potential for growth approaching 500 students. Housed in a 25,000
square foot facility near downtown Cameron, the CEC provides access to high quality
classrooms and computer laboratories. The CEC provides day and evening on-campus, online,
and hybrid credit courses, technical and workforce training, and continuing education classes.
The Cameron Industrial Foundation provided financial resources that enabled Temple College to
complete renovation of existing space. This space includes two science laboratories and two
classrooms, which were completed effective Fall 2008. These expanded labs and classrooms now
afford CEC the opportunity to provide more than 50% of the courses required to complete the
AA, AAT, and AAS degrees. Additionally, the CEC has dedicated space for student support
services, including admissions, financial aid, and cashier functions. Electronic library support
and library courier service is provided through the Main Campus. All instructional and support
services are managed through the appropriate departments and divisions on the Main Campus,
with line supervision provided by the Vice President of Educational Services. (See Appendix E:
Cameron Education Center Fall 2008 Course Schedule and Appendix F: Organization Charts.)
FACULTY
Provide a complete roster (using the Faculty Roster form at
www.sacscoc.org/inst_forms_and_info1.asp) of those faculty employed to teach in the
program(s), including a description of those faculty member’s academic qualifications and
other experiences relevant to the courses taught, and course load in the new program as
well as course work taught in other programs currently offered; evidence that faculty
members are adequate to support the program; and the impact of the new initiative on
faculty workload.
Temple College employs competent faculty members qualified to accomplish the mission and
goals of the institution. Full time faculty at CEC include Susan Dean, English, who is the only
full time faculty member totally assigned to CEC. Other TC full time faculties teach one to three
classes at the CEC. These are Alex Shui, Sandra Creech, Tracy Long, and Jason Locklin. (See
Appendix G, Cameron Education Center Faculty Roster.)

and staffing and services that are in place to support the initiative. If reliant upon other
libraries, describe those collections and their relevance to the proposed program(s) and
include a copy of formal agreements in the appendix. Relative to electronic resources,
describe how students and faculty will access information, training for faculty and students
in the use of online resources, and staffing and services available to students and faculty.
For doctoral programs, document discipline-specific refereed journals and primary source
materials.
The Hubert M. Dawson Library provides CEC students and instructors access to its collections
and services via its web page. The Hubert M. Dawson Library provides facilities, services and
other learning and information resources which appropriately support teaching and learning at
Temple College.
Library Facilities
Hubert M. Dawson Library
The Hubert M. Dawson Library is a 19,450 sq. ft. facility originally built in 1965 and renovated
and expanded in 2001. The library contains student seating, thirteen computer workstations, a
black and white printer, color printer and four computers dedicated to the online catalog. The
library also makes available wireless Internet access for library users. A group study room and an
audiovisual viewing room are available as well as study carrels, some with audiovisual
viewing/listening capabilities.
A computer lab with thirty workstations and a network printer is used for library instruction.
When not scheduled for instructional activities, it serves as an open lab for student use.
The library is open 64 hours a week during the Fall and Spring semesters and 48 hours a week
during the summer term. Results from the latest annual Library Services Questionnaire indicate
that 78.5% of students surveyed were satisfied with the library’s hours of operation.
Temple College Cameron Education Center
Temple College has not pursued a library agreement with the Cameron Public Library. CEC
students are treated much like distance education students, except that they are able to request
books be sent by courier to the CEC for pick up and return.
Library Collections and Services
Print
The Temple College Library provides a wide variety of resources to its students, faculty and staff
either through ownership or through formal agreements. The library has a collection of
approximately 58,000 print volumes and 2,700 audiovisual items. The library subscribes to 291
magazines and journals and eight newspapers and maintains backfiles of most serial resources in
either hardcopy or microform format.
Page 10
Materials in the circulating collection check out for three weeks with the option of renewing for
another three weeks. Students at any of Temple College’s teaching sites as well as those students
taking classes via the Internet have access to the library collection through its online catalog.
Students can request items by telephone, e-mail or by use of an online request form located on
the library’s web page. Students taking classes at Taylor or Cameron can have books sent to
them via the college’s courier service. Students unable to pick up materials at these teaching
centers can have books mailed to them.
Electronic
In addition to the library’s print collection, the library offers access to over 48,000 Netlibrary
electronic books and is expanding its online reference collection via the Gale Virtual Reference
Library. These online resources are fully cataloged in the library’s online catalog and are also
available through the library’s “Databases” page on its web site.
(www.templejc.edu/library/databases.html)
As a TexShare member the library provides access to nearly 60 online database that cover a
variety of disciplines and index thousands of journals and other print materials. Many of the
resources are available as full-text documents. In addition to the TexShare databases, the library
subscribes to several other databases which target specific programs or disciplines important to
Temple College. Examples include CINAHL, Stat!Ref, CQ Researcher, New Grove’s Dictionary
of Music and Musicians and Opposing Viewpoints.
Through the use of EZProxy software, all these electronic resources are available to currently
enrolled students, faculty and staff not only from any campus location but also from off-campus
with the use of their Temple College username and password.
The use of the library’s online offerings has remained steady over the years. With the growth of
distance educations classes, the library has expanded its online resources to enhance its support
of distance learning.
Services
Temple College participates in the TexShare card program which gives current students and
faculty the ability to check out materials at other participating TexShare libraries.
(www.texshare.edu/generalinfo/about/programs.html) These cards are obtained in person or are
mailed to students. Requests for TexShare cards may be made in person or by telephone, e-mail
or by use of the online request form. (www.templejc.edu/library/texcard.htm)
Temple College Library also provides interlibrary loan services to its patrons, generally at no
charge. This service is aided by an agreement with TexShare and the library’s membership in
Amigos Library Services. Temple College students, faculty and staff can fill out an Interlibrary
Loan form at the library or use the online Library Materials Request form found on the library’s
website. (http://www.templejc.edu/library/illform.htm)
The library provides reference services at the main desk in the Hubert M. Dawson library, by
telephone and also by e-mail. The library’s website provides contact information including a tollfree number (in Texas) and an e-mail address. The library’s distance education webpage provides
Page 11
a list of the various electronic resources available and also includes a number of tutorials to aid
students in the use of these resources.
The library’s brochure, which is updated each semester and is distributed to students during
orientation sessions, highlights library services and resources. This information is also provided
electronically to distance education instructors with a request to forward it on to their students.
PHYSICAL RESOURCES
Provide a description of physical facilities and equipment to support this initiative. Assess
the impact that the proposed change will have on existing programs and services.
Temple College operates and maintains physical facilities to serve the needs of its educational
programs, support services, and other activities appropriate to its purpose. The Cameron
Education Center - Temple College opened in January 2000 to serve the educational and training
needs of Milam County and surrounding areas. Day and evening on-campus, online, and hybrid
credit courses, technical and workforce training, and continuing education classes are available at
the CEC.
Temple College provides all Temple College students an official college email account. This
email account is used to communicate official college correspondence to Temple College
students. Temple College students are required to use their official college email account for all
online courses.
Temple College library belongs to TexShare, a statewide system that allows reciprocal
borrowing privileges to current students, faculty, and staff at all participating college and
university libraries in Texas. Through TexShare, Temple College students have access to over 50
content and periodical databases many of which display the full-text of the original journal or
book. Materials not owned by Temple College or unavailable through the online databases may
be ordered through interlibrary loan for little or no cost.
The College Bookstore enables students to purchase textbooks, supplies, and other equipment for
classroom and laboratory work. Purchases for CEC students may also be made online at
templecollegebookstore.com.
The Temple College Testing Center, located on the second floor of One College Centre, is open
to help students with their testing needs. These may include proctored exams, placement tests,
course make-up exams, correspondence testing, and other individual tests. Other support services
are available to CEC students through telephone and email contact information, which is
available on the college web site.
In January of 2004, Temple College retained O’Connell Robertson and Associates to develop a
Campus Master Plan for the College. This Temple College Master Plan is intended to provide
direction for decision making related to the future development of the college over the next 15 to
20 years. The Master Plan addresses both current deficits and surpluses of space as they relate to
Page 12
the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board standards and the need to provide more space to
accommodate present and projected enrollment. The plan establishes a framework for the
location of future facilities that will be needed for the college to serve the community in an
attractive, efficient, and safe environment.
The Campus Master Plan is the result of an interactive process comprised of the college
administration, faculty and staff, as well as the consultant team. Also, in addition to set
interviews, student, faculty, and department head input was solicited through survey forms.
The planning process consisted of the following tasks:
 Inventory and Analysis of the existing college program and facilities. This task included
interviews with faculty and staff, and a review of the physical characteristics of the
existing facilities.
 Interactive presentations to the Landscape Committee, The Temple College Foundation,
and the College Board of Trustees.
 Based on the findings from the Inventory and Analysis phase, Master Plan Options were
considered and presented at a workshop session on campus. The option presented
herewith was selected for development.
 The Campus Master Plan establishes a framework for expansion. The Plan is sequential
yet flexible enough to respond to the vagaries of funding allocations. Phasing is based on
immediate needs and anticipated enrollment growth.
(See Appendix H: Cameron Education Center Facilities.)
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Provide a business plan that includes the following: (a) a description of financial resources
to support the change, including a budget for the first year (a three-year budget is
requested for a new branch campus); (b) projected revenues and expenditures and cash
flow; (c) the amount of resources going to institutions or organizations for contractual or
support services; and (d) the operational, management, and physical resources available
for the change. Provide contingency plans if required resources do not materialize. For
consolidations/mergers, and for institutions currently on sanction with the Commission for
financial reasons, provide a copy of the most recent audit (audits from all institutions
involved in consolidations/mergers).
(a) a description of financial resources to support the change, including a budget for the
first year
The Cameron Center is treated as a Temple College department for financial support purposes. It
is not limited by the tuition and fee revenues generated from courses provided at Cameron. The
CEC is funded for operations in the general budget and instructional salaries are charged to the
academic department where that faculty is located, e.g., English faculty costs are charged to the
English department within a separate account titled “Faculty Salaries – Cameron Center”.
Page 13
The direct expenditures for the Cameron Center are listed below:
FY 2004-05
$284,612
FY 2005-06
$292,071
FY 2006-07
$320,062
FY 2007-08
$401,317
These costs include administrative personnel located at Cameron and operating costs. Costs of
utilities are paid by the Cameron Economic Development Group and rental of the facility
(approximately $58,000 in 2007-08) is included in the College maintenance department budget.
(b) projected revenues and expenditures and cash flow
Since the Cameron Center is treated as a College department and not a separate cost center,
revenues are not segregated for it. However, revenue can be calculated based on semester hours
produced by the Center. An estimated tuition/fee calculation for FY2007-08 is $280,000/year. In
addition, a pro-rata share of State Appropriations would yield an approximate additional
$260,000 in State instruction revenue.
(c) the amount of resources going to institutions or organizations for contractual or support
services
Temple College provides all services to the Cameron Center. There are no payments for contract
services, e.g., janitorial, security, etc.
(d) the operational, management, and physical resources available for the change
Temple College has adequate resources to operate this center and administer the required
management functions of fiscal operations, student services and maintenance functions.
(See Appendix I: Cameron Education Center Financial Resources.)
EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT
Describe how the institution assesses overall institutional effectiveness as well as the means
used to monitor and ensure the quality of the degree program(s), off-campus site(s), or
other changes. Summarize procedures for systematic evaluation of instructional results,
including the process for monitoring and evaluating programs at the new site, as well as
using the results of evaluation to improve institutional programs, services, and operations.
For distance learning instruction or compressed time frames, describe the methodology for
Page 14
determining that levels of knowledge and competencies comparable to those required in
traditional formats have been achieved.
Temple College engages in ongoing, integrated, and institution-wide research-based planning
and evaluation processes that incorporate a systematic review of programs and services that
result in continuous improvement and demonstrates that the institution is effectively
accomplishing its mission.
The primary process for continuous improvement for departments is the district’s Institutional
Effectiveness plan as outlined in the personnel handbook. Through this ongoing process, the
college develops annual strategic operational goals. The goals are correlated to the value
statements of the expanded mission statement. The process is a bottoms up approach whereby
instructional, administrative, and support service departments identify focus areas. The CEC is
involved in the process as an off-site center. The identified focus areas are prioritized at the
division level and the Educational Services office is tasked with identifying commonalities and
areas deserving of institutional priorities and with drafting a working document. This draft plan
is reviewed and approved by the executive council and the board of trustees. The annual goals
and the results from the previous year’s goals are published on the Institutional Effectiveness
website in the annual Fact Book.
The college has explored and adopted WEAVE Online to facilitate the monitoring of the
evaluation process. This process will allow each instructional and non-instructional department
to not only measures progress toward institutional goals but also monitor other agency
requirements and statewide goals and initiatives.
The planning process is integrated with the systematic review of various outcomes measures,
which are monitored and evaluated through the Office of Institutional Effectiveness, Research,
and Planning (IERP). Data gathered and reported by the office include enrollment data, trend
data, course completion rates, and grade distribution reports. These data sets include identifiable
sets for CEC. Since CEC offered courses are identifiable, studies and comparisons are available
for Analysis.
Reports published on the Institutional Effectiveness website include original studies and reports
compiled by the state higher education agency. The reports include the Fact Book, Annual Data
Report, Graduation Reports, Institutional Effectiveness Measures and Standards, and results
from the Community College Survey of Student Engagement. The institutional effectiveness
measures include benchmarks for access, completion rates, retention rates, and workforce
education. The Fact Book includes annual planning goals and results, financial information,
personnel statistics, student demographics and enrollment trends, and information relating to the
instructional programs. Data included in the instruction section of the Fact Book include contact
hour production, degrees awarded by program, level, and ethnicity, transfer student information,
student follow-up information, and institutional effectiveness measures and standards.
The data generated through the institutional research process is also used to inform the program
review process. The college engages in instructional program reviews through the curriculum
committee. In the program review process CEC courses have been aggregated with all other
Page 15
courses offered by departments. Beginning in fall 2006, program reviews data for courses are
disaggregated by location and delivery method.
Information sets collected by the IERP office also include the state reports. The reports are
transferred to a user-friendly venue for analysis and sharing with administrative and other
interested staff including division directors. The reports include the student report, course report,
personnel report, continuing education reports, graduation report, and the developmental agency
report. An additional state level report is the Legislative Budget Board Performance Measures
Report which include course retention rates, contact hours taught by full-time faculty, number of
students who transfer to a university, percentage of developmental students who pass the
required college entrance exams, percentage of student’s who pass licensure exams, number of
degrees and certificates awarded, and the administrative costs as a percentage of total
expenditures.
Other data sets are generated by the IERP office in concert with the Information Services
Division. Ad hoc request for data from administrative staff and instructional departments are
answered through data queries.
