Abstract

This presentation will provide an in-depth update on the various efforts underway to measure the progress of students in two-year institutions, including post transfer metrics of students that have continued onward through the baccalaureate. Community Colleges have received a great emphasis on constructing meaningful baseline progress metrics, and now national efforts are attempting to set standards for progress and also create alternative measures of success unique to the two-year sector. A critical factor in creating meaningful rates is determining who at a community college campus is truly degree-seeking, and measuring similar students at each campus; confounding factors include levels of remediation upon entry, full-time status of students, and other socioeconomic factors out of the control of the campus.

The Consortium for Student Retention Data Exchange at the University of Oklahoma is a consortium of two-year and four-year institutions dedicated to achieving the highest levels of student success through collaboratively sharing data, knowledge, and innovation.
