2006-2007 Indicators of Student Success

INDICATORS OF STUDENT SUCCESS

In February 1999, the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges adopted 12 performance measures for accountability. This action was taken in response to a mandate from the North Carolina General Assembly to review past performance measures and define standards of performance to ensure programs and services offered by community colleges in North Carolina were of sufficient quality. In the 2007 Session, the General Assembly approved modification to the North Carolina Performance Measures and Standards as adopted by the State Board of Community Colleges on March 16, 2007. As a result, the number of performance measures was reduced to 8.The following table is a Summary Report of the achievement of those performance measures for the System\'s 58 colleges for the 2006-2007 College Year.
