This update provides an analysis of the Fall 2006 enrollment data at SCC, focusing on student retention and completion rates. It highlights that 30% of traditional-entry students are classified as high-risk, while 93% of all new students fall into this category. The need for improved data collection systems and targeted strategies to enhance student retention is emphasized, given that 33% of new students leave after one quarter.

  1. Fall 2006Enrollment Update Where we’re coming from and where we’re headed.

  2. Attrition and Completion Rates of Selected Groups Data Source: SCC 2005 Retention and Completion Study, SCC IR. Completion indicates award of a certificate OR a degree. All cohorts are comprised of students entering SCC during fall quarters.

  3. Risk Factors and Remediation • Traditional-entry students (entering from HS within 2 quarters) make up about 10% of all new students each fall quarter. • Of these, 30% are considered high-risk by US Dept of Education criteria, the remaining 70% are considered low-risk. • Based on these same US DOE criteria, 93% of all students entering SCC during fall quarters are considered high-risk. • Low-Risk High-Risk Average Age 18.7 28.8 • 50% of these low-risk students require developmental or basic skills training during their first year at SCC, whereas • 25% of these high-risk students re require developmental or basic skills training during their first year at SCC • About 1/3 of all new students entering SCC during fall quarters are taking developmental math or English during their first year. Ten years ago, this proportion was less than 1/4.

  4. Where do we go from here? • Better data is needed. • Identify additional sources, and • develop new systems to collect and track the data we’re currently missing. • With 1/3 of our students leaving after just one quarter, retention obviously needs to be a focus for the college. The College Council and EMTF have made retention a strategic priority for this year. • A recent study WSU indicates that only half of high school graduates in our service area attend college. Creative and collaborative efforts to increase this proportion could offset or even negate the lowering number of HS graduates in coming years, and the Outreach groups are beginning to work on this. • Explore why Arts and Science students are taking smaller course loads, why enrollments of women are declining, etc.
