In Fall 2016, the Chancellor's Office notified the colleges that they were developing an integrated plan for the Basic Skills Initiative, the Student Equity program, and the Student Success and Support Program.  Because of this, neither of the programs were required to update their plans during the 2016-2017 academic year.

In February 2017, the Chancellor's Office released the Integrated Budget Plan and the Integrated BSI/SE/SSSP Plan template.  They also conducted an Integrated Planning Webinar in March 2017 and began offering a series of professional development workshops, in partnership with the IEPI, on the integrated plan to offer guidance and direction to the colleges.

The timeline of the development of the Monterey Peninsula College Integrated BSI/SE/SSSP Plan was as follows:

1. February 2017: Release of the Integrated Budget Plan and the Integrated BSI/SE/SSSP Plan templates.
