BOARD OF TRUSTEES' INDICATOR REPORT

2001-02 Summary

This report completes the 2001-02 reporting cycle on indicators related to the seven District-wide goals. Trends, current observations and a student success review are presented.
 

Trends reflect an increasingly more diverse student body with regard to ethnicity, educational needs, desired instructional delivery method and type of academic credential acquired.

Supporting Data:

- Increasing number/percentage of African-American, Hispanic and Asian students
- Enrollment growth in Developmental Math, English as a Second Language, work force related continuing education and courses delivered via the Internet
- Increasing number/percentage of certificates awarded
Current Observations include improved student course retention and increased numbers of credit students and contact hours.

Supporting Data:

- Withdraw rates decreased over several fall and spring semesters
- Credit and dual credit enrollments increased for multiple semesters
Student Success in Review reveals that almost 90% of fall credit students achieve one or more successful educational outcome and 96% are employed and/or accomplish at least one successful outcome by the following fall semester.

Supporting Data:

- Successful Educational Outcomes include continued DCCCD enrollment, completion of a DCCCD 2-yr degree/certificate, transfer to a university/college and leaving the DCCCD in good academic standing.

Notes:
Trends represent district-level changes in a consistent direction covering 5 and more years. Individual college trends may differ from District-level trends.
Current observations represent consistent changes of less than a 5-year time period.
The student success review data lags that of the indicator reporting due to the timing of transfer data availability.
