Notes and Report Limitations

While 2000-01 indicator reports addressed 1999-2000 or current data, the student success summary reflects the status of Fall 1998 credit students as of the Fall 1999 semester due to the timing of transfer data availability.

The sum of "% of Total" exceeds 100% since one student may have multiple successful outcomes.

Employment Outcome is only reported for non-returning students and/or graduates. The THECB does not provide data for enrolled students who have not yet graduated or those self-employed or working out of state. (While employment status is self reported by DCCCD students and incomplete, an estimated 80% of credit students are employed while enrolled with the District.)

Transfer data only reflect enrollments at Texas public universities and community colleges.

Transfer and employment data provided by the THECB.
