T T F F + So why the low completion rates? 1 4/28/14 + Note: Community colleges’ diverse options for higher education and its open admissions policy have helped increase access to college but have developed unintended consequences resulting in an increase in enrollment, uneven graduation and low transfer rates (Lovell, 2007). + Community College Facts Demand has soared, with workers seeking retraining, record numbers of high school graduates, veterans returning and students being shut out from UC and CSU Recession substantially reduced resources. 47% of students cannot enroll in needed classes, compared to 28% nationwide Low completion rates. Of the 77% of students who begin below transfer-level, only 41% ever achieve a certificate, degree, or transfer preparation From the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office + Common Issues Not completing enrollment steps in a timely fashion. Enrollment includes: apply, orientation, assessment and meet with a counselor. Basic Skills Education (aka: remedial or developmental) Low income first generation students of color tend to complete an average of about 5 years (or about 9.5 semesters) at a community college due to basic skills education (Melguizo et al., 2008). In California, about 70% to 80% of students who take the assessment exams, score into basic skills math classes out of which approx. 60% are African Americans and Latina/o students (Melguizo et al., 2008; Illowsky, 2008) Registering for classes too late. Enrollment steps should be completed before June so that students can register for classes before graduation. 2 4/28/14 + Additional issues… Failure to complete financial aid by March 2nd. Both documented and undocumented students may be able to access some financial aid. Lack of knowledge about career technical education. CTE at Community College is cheaper and comparable to that of a private technical college.
