1. Complete College America: How states are utilizing the Common Completion Metrics in performance funding formulas and other state policy initiatives. SHEEO Higher Education Policy Conference August 10, 2012

2. Complete College America Founded in 2009 with a single focus on working with states to: • Significantly increase the number of students successfully earning degrees and credentials of value in the labor market, and • Close attainment gaps for traditionally underrepresented populations, including minority and low-income young adults. Goal: By 2020, six out of ten young adults in the U.S. will have a college degree or certificate of value.

3. The Alliance of States COMMITMENT TO STATE AND CAMPUS GOALS • Commit to set state and campus numerical goals to increase completion and close attainment gaps by 2020 COMMITMENT TO MEASURING PROGRESS & SUCCESS • State and campus leaders pledge to measure and publicly report annual progress on key progression and completion metrics COMMITMENT TO BOLD ACTION • Ensure all students are ready to start and succeed in freshman credit courses • Redesign remediation strategies to substantially improve success • Reduce time to degree and increase the number of students completing on time • Provide financial incentives to students and colleges for progress • Develop new, shorter and faster pathways to degrees and certificates of value

5. CCA Modus Operandi • National Convening • Completion Academies • Institutes • In-State Completion Academies • Completion Innovation Challenge Grant • Publications • In-State Technical Assistance COMMON METRICS UNDERLIE EVERY CCA ACTIVITY

6. Purpose of CCA/NGA Common College Completion Metrics • Inform: To help policymakers and the public understand how students, colleges, and the state are doing on college completion • Analyze: To help policymakers and colleges identify specific challenges and opportunities for improvement • Show Progress: To establish a fair baseline and show progress over time • Hold Accountable: To hold students, colleges, and the state accountable to the public and to policymakers investing taxpayer dollars in higher education

7. Disaggregations Gender Race/Ethnicity Income (Pell Grant recipients) * Age Group (where applicable) * * Full-time/Part-time /Transfer Entry Status * Discipline/Degree-type * Remedial Status * = NOT Collected in IPEDS

8. Progress Metrics REMEDIATION: ENTRY and SUCCESS * SUCCESS in FIRST-YEAR COLLEGE COURSES (1st yr. math and English) * CREDIT ACCUMULATION * RETENTION RATES * COURSE COMPLETION * = NOT Collected in IPEDS

9. Outcome Metrics DEGREES AWARDED ANNUALLY (# and change over time) GRADUATION RATES TRANSFER RATES * CREDITS AND TIME TO DEGREE * = NOT Collected in IPEDS

21. Illinois Longitudinal Data System (ILDS) • Source of data for future performance funding measures • For example: • Articulation and retention of transfer students • Progress of students requiring remediation (math/language arts) • Credit hour accumulation (e.g., 24/48/72) • Time to completion (e.g., 100%, 150%, 200%) • Students defined as first generation • Students by age • Students by geographical location IBHE Presentation

22. Higher Education Performance Funding • Rewards institutions that meet state goals • Focuses on outputs, not inputs • Course completion instead of course enrollment • Degree recipients instead of degree candidates • Encourages at-risk students • Maintains quality • Increases funding with meeting more goals IBHE Presentation

23. Illinois’ Principles for Performance Funding • Focus on the fundamental goal of increasing completion • Reward performance of institutions in advancing the success of students who are: • Academically or financially at risk • First generation students • Low-income students • Students traditionally underrepresented in higher education IBHE Presentation

24. Illinois’ Principles for Performance Funding 3) Recognize and account for the differentiated missions of institutions of higher education 4) Recognize the unique and broad mission of public community colleges 5) Maintain the quality of degrees, certificates, courses, and programs IBHE Presentation

28. Illinois Performance Funding(Community Colleges) IBHE Presentation

29. What We Accomplished Developed a workable performance funding model Model and budget recommendations were approved by both the Steering Committee and the IBHE Board A performance funding component was included in the FY 2013 Higher Education Budget Submission by IBHE The IBHE funding recommendation was included in the Governor’s Budget without change The Illinois General Assembly allocated funding based on performance consistent with the IBHE performance funding recommendation

30. FY 2013 Performance Funding Results • At Public Universities: • 0.5% of the base ($6.15M) was re-allocated based on the performance funding model • At Community Colleges: • $360K was re-allocated based on their model’s six performance measures

31. Continually Improve & Refine Performance Funding Fiscal Year 2013 performance funding model is the starting point Performance Funding Refinement Committee meets quarterly to consider performance measures, data collection and analyses, and new calculations Working on the Fiscal Year 2014 IBHE Presentation

34. Complete College America A Plan for Increasing Postsecondary Credentialsto Fuel a Strong Economy

35. How We ArrivedConfluence of Factors • State Question 744 • Complete College America – • OSRHE • Oklahoma Secretary of Education Phyllis Hudecki • Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin Council of Presidents Desire for Funding Formula reform

36. More than a years worth of work by the OSRHE Council of Presidents Several factors needed to be addressed. They included: • Dramatic Reform of the old cost base/peer institution model • Replacement with performance metrics • Addressing equity issues from the old model

37. New Formula Builds off of Old “Brain Gain” • Old Model • 98% of funding flowed through a cost/peer model • 2% performance from Brain Gain • Graduation Rates • First year Retention Rates • Degrees Conferred • Two unique campus measure

38. New Formula • 100% of New Money goes through a CCA Performance Based Formula. • % of Campus CCA target • Degrees and Certificates Conferred • System Graduation Rate for Four Year Campuses • Progression Rate (Grad Rate and Successful Transfers) for Two Year Colleges • First year Retention • First Year Retention of Pell Students • Successful Completion of 24 credit hours of college level credit in first year

39. Phase In • First Two Years OSRHE acceptance of campus completion plan is weighted heavily. • By year three all the performance factors are implemented and weighted plan phased out. • OSRHE can withhold 10% of New Funds for Base adjustments.
