5. College Access Record Breaking Enrollment Most Representative Freshman Class Ever Over Six Decades of Access

6. Too few graduate. 12.6% 44.7% 67.8% 2-year college within 3 years 4-year university within 6 years (non-flagship) 4-year flagship within 6 years

9. GAME CHANGERS • Metrics and Performance Funding • Corequisite Remediation • Full-time is 15 • Guided Pathways to Success (GPS) • Block Scheduling

10. METRICS AND PERFORMANCE FUNDING

11. Purpose of CCA/NGA Common College Completion Metrics • Inform, Analyze, Measure Progress, Hold Accountable • Drive Policy Change

12. Metrics • Outcomes – degrees, graduation rates, transfer rates, credits and time to degree • Progress – retention, remediation, gateway class success, courses completed, credits accumulated • Disaggregations – gender, race/ethnicity, Pell, age, full or part time, degree • Not collected by IPEDS

13. Performance Funding Essentials • Values outcomes – not just enrollment • Creates “conditions for change”

14. Performance funding is sweeping America.

15. COREQUISITE REMEDIATION

16. Too many freshmen need remediation. 56% 30% of those entering a 2-year college enrolled in remediation of those entering a 4-year college enrolled in remediation

17. Very few complete their gateway courses. 20% 34% Pass associated gateway course at 2-year colleges Pass associated gateway course at 4-year colleges (non-flagship)

18. Most remedial students never graduate. • 2-yar Associate 14% 28% 2-year colleges 4-year (non-flagship)

19. Student attrition is at the heart of the matter.

21. Few Ever Get to Gateway 70%of students placed into remediation fail to enroll in a gateway course in two academic years

22. Guiding Objective Students complete gateway courses and enter programs of study in their first academic year

23. College mathematics must be aligned with programs of study.

24. College Algebra’s Only Purpose:Preparation for Calculus STEM

25. University System of GeorgiaMathematics Task Force: “College Algebra was designed explicitly to meet the needs of students who are preparing to take Precalculus and Calculus.”

26. Align Mathematics to Meta-Majors and Majors.

27. Provide Academic Support as a Corequisite, Not a Prerequisite

28. 45 minutes after class • Additional class periods One Semester Redesigned Gateway • Extra Time • Paired proctored labs • Mandatory Tutoring • 5 weeks prep plus 10 weeks gateway content • Sequenced Gateway

29. One Semester Corequisite Results

30. One-Year Corequisite Semester 1 Semester 2 Quantitative Reasoning Gateway Content Academic Support College Success Skills Gateway Statistics STEM

31. One-Year Corequisite Results Carnegie Statway Success in gateway math within one academic year

32. Aligned and Parallel Support in Technical Certificate Programs • Work Keys/Keytrain • Required, Proctored Lab • Competency-based, • Self-paced

33. Traditional Placement Practices are FAILING Students

34. Current Model Enrolls Most Students into Remediation Remediation Gateway Percent of Students 70% 30% Student Placement Data

35. New Model Enrolls Most in College Gateway Course with Corequisite Support Test Prep or Technical Certificate Gateway Percent of Students 10% 60% 30% Student Placement Data

36. FULL-TIME IS15

37. TIME IS THE ENEMY. The longer it takes…the more life gets in the way.

38. Most students DON’T take the credit hours necessary to graduate on time. “Full-time” Students Taking 15+ Credits Per Semester At 4-year At 2-year

39. The Power of 15 Credits:More students graduate when they complete 30+ credits in their first year.

40. Too Much Time to Degree Of students who graduate… Full-time 3.6 years 4.9 years Part-time 5.2 years Part-time students take 6.3 years 2-year Associate 4-year Bachelor’s

41. Part-Time Students Rarely Graduate 2-year Associate 4-year Bachelor’s (Non-Flagship) 4% 12% 150% of time

42. 15 to Finish • Policies and practices that incent full-time enrollment (banded tuition, 15 credits cost same as 12). • Communications campaign to push 15 as full-time and on-time. • Education of faculty and advisors regarding how students actually do better taking more credits not less.

43. GUIDED PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS

44. Students are … Why GPS? Taking too much time Taking too many credits Spending too much money Not graduating

45. Too few graduate on time. 4% 19% 36% 2-year college within 2 years 4-year within 4 years (non-flagship) 4-year flagship within 4 years

46. Too few graduate. 12.6% 44.7% 67.8% 2-year college within 3 years 4-year university within 6 years (non-flagship) 4-year flagship within 6 years

47. Students are taking too many credits. 81 CREDITS ACCUMULATED 133 CREDITS ACCUMULATED 135 CREDITS ACCUMULATED Bachelor’s NFS Associate Bachelor’s FS 120 CREDITS 60 CREDITS 120 CREDITS

48. Behavioral Economics: Choice Too much choice — especially uninformed choice — leads to indecision or poor decisions.
