Today’s Summit Why are we here and what are doing?  Meeting our commitment to the White House  Achieving Complete College America goals  Tuning into the national dialogue on remediation  New metrics for measuring success and new methods for measuring the need for remediation  Focusing on models with proven success

Shifting Focus Changing how we measure success  Historical focus – Enrollment based rate  Nevada Revised Statutes  Summer and Fall enrollments only  Enrollments in remedial courses only  Improved reporting for remedial rates  Placement rates  Capturing co-requisite, stretch, bridge, and technical courses and skills labs  Full year of System-wide enrollment captured  New Focus – Percent of students who successfully complete the gateway course in the first year (or two)

NSHE Remedial Report 2013 Reporting Changes Enrollment v. Placement of Recent High School Graduates Enrollment Rates (old) Placement Rate (new)

Gateway Course Completions Successful completion of the gateway course  Critical momentum point  Sooner rather than later  Significantly increases the likelihood of graduating  Co-Requisite models for remediation Focusing on the End Game
