NGA/CCA Common College Completion Metrics

Disaggregation Necessary to Close Achievement Gaps Full-time/Part-time Enrollment/Transfer Gender Race/Ethnicity Income (Pell Grant recipients) Age Group (where applicable) Remedial status Discipline = disaggregated graduation rates not available in IPEDS

Outcome Metrics Indicators of successful outcomes DEGREES AWARDED ANNUALLY (# and change over time) GRADUATION RATES TRANSFER RATES TIME and CREDITS to DEGREE Progress Metrics Measures of interim achievements strongly linked to student success REMEDIATION: ENTRY and SUCCESS SUCCESS in FIRST-YEAR COLLEGE COURSES (1st yr. math and English) CREDIT ACCUMULATION RETENTION RATES COURSE COMPLETION = data not available in IPEDS

Urgency Around the Issue Create a Sense of Urgency Around the Issue = Four-Year MYTH

Focus on a Key Issue =

Too many students start college in remediation. 61% in 2-year institution 28% in 4-year, non- research institution

African Americans, Hispanics and Pell Students are Over Represented 2-year Students 4-year Non-Flagship Students

Access to College or Remediation For too many students, a remedial class is their first and their last college experience.

The System Does Not Work, Particularly for African Americans Gateway Course Completion in 2 years 2-year college remedial students

Few Graduate or Transfer Of 2-year students enrolled in remediation: 11% graduate in 3 years 18% transfer to 4-year institution (with or without a degree) in 4 years

Offer a Path Forward =

1. Corequisite Remediation 2. Full Time is 15 3. Guided Pathways - GPS 4. Structured Schedules 5. Performance Funding

Provide a Road Map to Scale =
