Access

• Cohort-based. How many first-time, Fall students
  enter each year?
• Disaggregate by race / ethnicity.
• Compare to the general population.
• We will focus on Occupational Associate Degree
  and Liberal Arts Transfer.
• Expect volatility due to small numbers.
• e.g. 4.0 of a 1000 student cohort leaves us with
  40 students.

• 15 Credit milestone - research shows this is a
  critical enrollment period for future success.
• 45 Credit milestone - this milestone is
  particularly significant for transfer, but also
  indicates a significant level of success short of
  graduation.
• Both of the above are expressed as a share
  percentage. E.g., what of all those achieving
  15 credits within 3 semesters were Hispanic.
• Compare share with entering cohort percentages.
