This research update from the Office of Institutional Research focuses on improving student success rates, including completion and transfer rates within specific timeframes. It highlights the Basic Skills Improvement Rate, Completion in 3 Years, and Completion in 6 Years metrics. Additionally, progress and achievement rates are defined for new students attempting degree/certificate/transfer courses. The comparison of GEARS and non-GEARS success rates is detailed. New tools being developed include a homegrown system for tracking students between courses and the CCCCO cohort tracking system.
