The DCCCD student body will reflect the demographic characteristics of the Dallas County adult population and will persist in achieving their individual educational goals. |
District-wide Indicators:
The combined credit and non-credit fall 1999 student body reflects
Hispanic and African-American populations, is lower than Anglo and higher
than Asian populations.
The DCCCD serves almost 9% of the adult county population each year through credit and/or non-credit instruction.
Females out number males (55% vs. 45%) - a continuing trend for most
undergraduate institutions since the mid 1980s.
| Student Retention and Course Completion
Fall to spring retention and course completion rates remain stable over time. Of fall 1998 credit students, 61% returned the spring semester. Full-time students had the highest retention rate (77%) followed by those enrolled 6-11 hours (62%) and others enrolled 1-5 hours (44%). Approximately 76% of the total grades awarded fall 1998 were completion (non-withdraw or incomplete) grades. Of those completion grades, 81% were successful outcomes of A, B or C. |
