ACCJC INSTITUTION-SET STANDARDS DISCUSSION
A “standard” is the level of performance set by the institution to meet educational quality and institutional effectiveness expectations. This number may differ from a performance improvement “goal” which an institution may aspire to meet (ACCJC, 2013).
Student Achievement Data Requested by ACCJC • Course Completion Rate (14b.) • Student Retention Rate-Fall to Fall (15b.) • Student Degree Completion (16b.) • Student Transfer to 4-year Colleges/universities (17b.) • Student Certificate Completion (18b.)
Proposed Method for Setting the Standards • Review most current and historical performance (multi-year/longitudinal data disaggregated by ethnicity and other demographic characteristics as appropriate) • Generate multi-year averages for performance (5-8 years) • Determine performance indicators based on data analysis, institutional history and context (standards)
Proposed Method for Using the Standards • Develop a performance range and/or color coding (Trapp, 2013): • Range • =>5% above target-excellent • + or – 5%- on target-good • =<5% below target-needs attention
Step 1. Review most current and historical performance * Successful Course Completions is defined here as the ratio of successful grade marks (A,B,C,CR,P) to all grade marks (A,B,C,D,F,W,CR,NC,P,NP,I) for credit courses. Plus/Minus grades are included in the ratio.
Step 2. Generate multi-year averages for performance * Successful Course Completions is defined here as the ratio of successful grade marks (A,B,C,CR,P) to all grade marks (A,B,C,D,F,W,CR,NC,P,NP,I) for credit courses. Plus/Minus grades are included in the ratio.
Step 3. Determine performance indicators (standards) Successful Course Completions is defined as the ratio of successful grade marks (A,B,C,CR,P) to all grade marks (A,B,C,D,F,W,CR,NC,P,NP,I) for credit courses. Plus/Minus grades are included in the ratio.

**Student Retention is defined as the ratio of all students who complete a course with any grade (A,B,C,D,F,W,CR,NC,P,NP, and I) in the initial Fall term and is registered for a course past census (registration code starts with 'R' or = 'DW') in the subsequent Fall term.
Degrees Awarded are defined as a count of all associate degrees awarded in an academic year. Students can earn multiple awards in a given year. Chancellor's Office approved awards are Associate of Arts, Associates of Science (Source: DataMart)
Transfer Velocity Cohort: The cohorts are first-time college students with a minimum of 12 units earned who attempted a transfer level math or English course. The outcome is transfer to a four-year institution within a given time period subsequent to initial enrollment. Dividing the number of students with enrollments at a Bachelors-granting institution by the total size of the Transfer Cohort yields the transfer rate. The initial group or cohort of first-time students is evaluated six years after initial enrollment in order to determine if they have shown behavioral intent to transfer (Source: Datamart).
Certificates Awarded are defined as a count of all certificates awarded in an academic year. Students can earn multiple awards in a given year. Chancellor's Office approved awards are Certificate requiring 18 to fewer than 30 semester units, Certificate requiring 30 to fewer than 60 semester units and Certificate requiring 60 or more semester units (Source: DataMart)
