  3. Grouped data Brent Drake, Assistant vice provost & director Enrollment management Analysis & reporting

  4. Grouped Data Predictions Multiple correlations at single institution • Multiple correlations between measures of academic success and unit level student entering academic profiles at one institution tend to lead to correlations of low to moderate effect sizes (Bridgeman, McCamley-Jenkins, & Ervin, 2000) • Some reasons identified in the literature (Stumpf & Stanley, 2002) • Restriction of range inherent in any one institutions academic profile • The interdependence of academic profile variables from high school transcripts and standardized tests • The disparate academic experience of students in one institution

  5. Grouped data predictions Solution based on national sample • Based on Stumpf and Stanley’s 2002 article use grouped data items readily available in two national data sets • Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System (IPEDS) • 25th and 75th percentile of SAT Scores • US News and World Report National Colleges data set • Percentage of students in top ten percent of high school class • Criterion variable was six-year graduation rates pulled from IPEDS • Final data set consisted of 199 institutions • Multiple correlation for model R2 = 0.8025 distinguishing between graduation rates at different institutions

  6. Grouped data predictions Purdue results • Use national model at university level to predict success among different subgroups • how well are individual colleges performing versus their predicted performance • Overall, Purdue outperforms its predicted rate • Most recent US News Report showed Purdue as a four percentage point over performance as well • The majority of the colleges on the campus over perform as well • Wide range in performance (-6.75 to +38.88)

  7. Section Title At risk students Brent Drake, Assistant vice provost & director Enrollment management Analysis & reporting

  8. At risk students Survey results • Freshmen students surveyed at end of their first year • Questions asked about likelihood of persistence, graduation, and commitment to determine students risk of returning • Purdue has administered last 6 years

  9. At risk students academic factors

  10. At risk students Financial factors

  11. At risk students Campus environment

  12. Section Title Codo-In Survey Brenda schroeder, Academic advising assessment team

  13. CODO-In Survey Academic advising Assessment team The Goal of the Academic Advising Assessment Team is to gain a better awareness and understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of advising at Purdue. Ultimately, it is the team's hope that this process will help improve advising on campus.

  14. CODO-In Survey Survey instrument • Given to all students who CODO • Designed to collect information on: • how students are CODOing, • why they are CODOing, • how they are selecting their majors

  15. CODO-In Survey resources Examples Other: Advisors, Ivy Tech Community College, Krannert, Laying Tracks, Own Research, Walk-Ins Courses: AGEC 20300, AGEC 33100, CDFS 21000, COM 11400, COM 25000, EDPS 10500, EDPS 20000, GS 11900, HIST 15100, MGMT 10000, OLS 25200, OLS 27400, PHPR 10000, PSY 22200, SOC 10000

  16. CODO-In Survey influencers

  17. CODO-In Survey Gpa of codo students

  18. CODO-In Survey Demographics of Codo students

  19. CODO-In Survey Where do they codo to?

  20. CODO-In Survey Where do they codo from?

  22. Section Title Students who do both, do best Co-curricular activities & Academic success Andy zehner, Assessment & data analyst Student affairs

  23. Co-curricular activities Purdue students All grade classifications Semester

Co-curricular activities How does engagement Promote academic success? • Most engaged students are excellent to begin with • Engagement imposes order & discipline • Getting involved caps out-of-class activity • Expectations are high • Special tutoring is provided • Menssana in corporesano • Some course credits are relatively easy

  27. Co-curricular activities Academics is primary focus 31% of SAO’s 900+ clubs/organizations

  28. Co-curricular activities 3 out of 5 students devote less than 5 hrs/wk to co-curricular activities
