8. The Challenge: Low rates of college completion among students
Learners enter community colleges not ready for college level coursework
Students also often arrive at college facing other non-academic challenges such as:
Work/family obligations
Limited experience navigating the complexities of higher education and related requirements
Underprepared students face more pressing challenges
Urgency to simultaneously address college-level coursework and to make new social/financial/academic adjustments
The proportion of college ready students is even lower among older and other non traditional learners

9. Supporting Research
Three out of ten community college students earn a degree or credential within six years of enrollment
Promising approaches to program delivery:
Acceleration
Contextualization
Student Support
Hybrid
