DATA COMPARISONS AND CAVEATS

 

STUDENT TYPES

Students are assigned to student types in the following manner:

       Based on the educational goals that students select, either as their informed goal once enrolled in community college, or from OPEN CCC Apply version of the application form (if no informed goal is available) or based on course taking behavior that indicates adult education course-taking for both Adult Education/English as a Second Language and Short-Term Career Education

       If the student has selected an informed or uninformed undecided or other goal or does not display Adult Education/English as a Second Language or Short-Term Career Education course-taking behavior, they will be assigned to the Undecided/Other group

Therefore, students can be included in multiple student journeys in a selected academic year. This methodology more accurately represents student goals and course taking patterns. If you sum up the number of students in each student journey who met the outcome of the metric, then the sum will not equal all students or the unduplicated count of all students who met the metric outcome at the college level. In initial versions of the Student Success Metrics (SSM), a hierarchy was used to place students in only one student journey for the selected academic year allowing for the sum of the student journeys to equal the All student journey.

Starting in Spring term 2020, in-person noncredit courses in the Chancellor’s Office Management Information System (COMIS) were converted to distance education modalities using synchronous live interactions between students and instructors, asynchronous methods in which students accessed materials and instruction on their own time, and/or a combination of the two. Colleges implementing distance education modalities for their courses that included asynchronous instruction, where students can log in and access information and assignments without solely interacting directly with the instructor, were directed to use the Alternative Attendance Accounting Procedure used for distance education. Noncredit Distance Education does not have a code in XB01 Section-Accounting-Method data element but instead is directed to use “I” for Independent Study. When XB01 is flagged as “I,” SX05 Enrollment-Positive-Attendance-Hours must be equal to“88888.” Therefore, using SX05 as the method for determining contact hours in noncredit may not work starting in Spring 2020 term for some colleges. However, colleges who chose to follow the CO exception and implement the positive attendance accounting method for synchronous DE instruction could still submit noncredit student data in SX05.

Therefore, the CO has decided to treat the Spring 2020 term and academic years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 differently in terms of using SX05 to determine a valid noncredit enrollment for inclusion of students in the Adult Education or ESL and the Short-Term Career Education student journeys based on course taking patterns. Students enrolled in Spring 2020, in academic year 2020-2021, or in academic year 2021-22 will be included if there is any value in the SX files or Student Enrollment Data Elements for that student and the student has a noncredit enrollment not on 493009 or 493014 Supervised Tutoring or Study Skills. For Adult Education or ESL student journey, a student EITHER must have 12 or more contact hours at any college in the selected year OR any value in the SX file if enrolled in Spring 2020 term or academic year 2020-2021 or in 2021-22 AND enroll in a noncredit adult basic, adult secondary or ESL course to be included. For Short-Term Career Education, a student EITHER has to have 12 or more contact hours at any college in the selected year OR any value in the SX file if enrolled in Spring 2020 term or academic year 2020-2021 or 2021-22 AND enroll in a noncredit workforce prep or noncredit CTE course.

Adult Education or English as a Second Language

  • Goal to improve basic skills in English, reading, or math
  • Goal to complete credits for a high school diploma or GED
  • Goal to move from noncredit coursework to credit coursework
  • Took noncredit adult basic education, adult secondary education, or ESL courses

Short-Term Career Education

  • Goal to earn a career technical certificate without transfer
  • Goal to discover/formulate career interests, plans, goals
  • Goal to prepare for a new career (acquire job skills)
  • Goal to advance in current job/career (update job skills)
  • Goal to maintain certificate or license (e.g. Nursing, Real Estate)
  • Took a noncredit career and technical education or workforce preparation course

Degree/Transfer

  • Goal to obtain an associate degree and transfer to a baccalaureate granting institution
  • Goal to transfer to a baccalaureate granting institution without an associate degree
  • Goal to obtain a two-year associate degree without transfer

Undecided/Other

  • Goal of undecided
  • Goal of life-long learning
  • Goal of four-year students earning credits with goal of meeting four-year requirements
  • No goal information is available, and the student does not display Adult Education/English as a Second Language or Short-Term Career Education course-taking behavior

 

Not all metrics are displayed for every student journey on the Student Success Metrics dashboard. An example would be for students in the Short-Term Career Education student journey. Since their goal is not necessarily transfer, then under the Success section transfer metrics are not displayed. All Students displays all metrics included in the dashboard.

 

To create a unique identifier for metrics, which are either associated with a particular student journey or which are replicated across several student journeys, letters are added to the end of the unique three-digit number. The last letter indicates the student journey as follows:

       For Adult Education/ESL student journey: “X” is added

       For Short-Term Career Education student journey: “Y” is added

       For Degree/Transfer student journey: “Z” is added

       For Undecided/Other student journey: “U” is added

       For All student journey: “W” is added

“S” or “C” before the student journey letter indicates that the metric included is in the snapshot or cohort view. For the SSM 4.0 build in 2021-22, the cohort applies to several metrics in the All Student journey. SM 619SZ Attained Vision Goal of Success for the Degree/Transfer student journey whereas SM 619Cx indicates Attained the Vision Goal of Success for the 2, 3, 4 and 6 year cohort timeframes.

 

SNAPSHOT VIEW

Snapshot views display information based on students who met the criteria for each metric within the selected year. Therefore, the specific students may not be the same from one metric to the next within each student journey. For example, the students who completed transfer-level English and math in their first year are likely not to be the same students who earned an associate degree in that same year.

COHORT VIEW

A cohort view allows for the same group of students to be tracked over time in terms of meeting the outcomes of the metrics displayed. A cohort view has been added that displays information based on students who enrolled in college for the first-time ever in higher education as non-special admit credit students in at least one term of the selected year. For the 2022-23 release, a cohort length has been added for two years.

Three years is the default for the cohort length and with two, four and six years available as well beginning from the first term of enrollment with preceding summer term enrollment treated like a fall term enrollment. For the four-year cohort, students will be tracked for four complete years from first term of enrollment. Thus, students who start in Summer or Fall 2020 would get through Summer 2024 to complete the outcome of the metric. Students who start in Spring 2021 would get through Winter 2025 instead of just through Spring 2024. The same logic would apply for the two, three and six year timeframes.

An option is available on the landing page for an All Student Cohort view. A display box will allow users to selected “After 2 Years,” “After 3 Years,” “After 4 Years,” and “After 6 Years.” Incomplete timeframes are displayed and distinguished by a lighter color. In addition, the first drilldown box would be limited to the metrics in the disaggregations list for Student Equity and Achievement (SEA), and a secondary drilldown box for Gender would appear with Female, Male, and All Other (non-binary, multiple values reported, unknown) as options to further disaggregate all primary disaggregations in the first drilldown box. Disaggregations will only be available for one cohort timeframe at a time.

*Note: for SM 501C, SM 502C, SM 503C All Cohort Students Who Completed Both Transfer-Level Math and English Within the District in the First Year Aligned with SCFF and for SM 300C All Cohort Student Applicants Who Enrolled in the Same Community College, the metric outcome has to occur within the first academic year of enrollment. Therefore, the same values would be displayed for any of the cohort selections: 3, 4, or 6.

**Note: for SM 541C, SM 542C, SM 543C All Cohort Students Who Completed Both Transfer-Level Math and English Within the District in Their First academic year or Within Three Years for Credit ESL Students, the metric outcome has to occur within their first year from first term or within three years from first term for credit ESL students. Therefore, the same values would be displayed for any of the cohort selections: 2, 3, 4, or 6.

***Note: for SM 214C All Cohort Students Enrolled Full Time in Their First Year from First Term, SM 408C Course Success Rate in Their First Year, SM 453C Persisted from First Primary Term to Subsequent Primary Term, SM 455C Average Total Number of Semester (Quarter) Units Successfully Completed by All Cohort Students in their First Year (SM 465Cx Quarter Units), and SM 458C Percentage of Cohort Students Who Successfully Completed 30 or More Units (45 or More Quarter Units) in their First Year from First Term (SM 468C Quarter Units), the metric outcome can occur within their first year if students started in fall term or in the subsequent year if students started in winter quarter or spring terms Therefore, the same values would be displayed for any of the cohort selections: 2, 3, 4, or 6.

****Note: for the four-year transfer metrics (SM 650Cx, SM 614Cx, SM 615Cx, SM 616Cx and SM 602Cx) and for SM 641Cx Attained the Vision for Success Goal Definition of Completion or Transferred to a Four-Year, incomplete years of data are now shown since we do not have the data to determined whether or not a student has really exited all postsecondary.

The following disaggregations are required for Student Equity and Achievement with a further disaggregation for each category by gender for male, female, all other:

        SM 103 Gender

        SM 104 Race/Ethnicity (further disaggregated by gender for F, M, All Other)

        SM 105 Age Group (further disaggregated by gender for F, M, All Other)

        SM 123 Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender (further disaggregated by gender for F, M, All Other)

        SM 106 Perkins Economically Disadvantaged (further disaggregated by gender for F, M, All Other)

        SM 110 Foster Youth (further disaggregated by gender for F, M, All Other)

        SM 112 Students with Disabilities (further disaggregated by gender for F, M, All Other)

        SM 114 Veterans (further disaggregated by gender for F, M, All Other)

        SM 133 Homeless (further disaggregated by gender for F, M, All Other)

The following disaggregation is included for Student Equity and Achievement based on requests from the field with a further disaggregation for each category by gender for male, female, all other:

        SM 108 First-Generation (further disaggregated by gender for F, M, All Other)

 

The following disaggregation has been included for the cohort view since it is included for the snapshot view with a further disaggregation for each category by gender for male, female, all other:

        SM 239 Students Who Were Ever Credit ESL (further disaggregated by gender for F, M, All Other)

Note: Disaggregations will be flagged as any time in the selected year through the cohort timeframes of 2, 3, 4, 6 years EXCEPT for the following disaggregations which will be determined in the first term of enrollment in the cohort and not updated during the cohort timeframe if changed:

        SM 103 Gender

        SM 104 Race/Ethnicity

        SM 105 Age Group

        SM 123 Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender

Information will now be displayed for the first-time cohort students where the timeframe allowed to meet the outcome of the metric is complete with darker colored bars and incomplete with lighter colored bars. For example, if 2016-17 is selected, then complete data would be available for the three and four year timeframes for Earned an Associate Degree.  In this example, a four year timeframe would require data for 2016-17 through 2020-21 to capture those students who enrolled for the first-time in Spring 2017 to earn an associate degree four full years later in Fall 2020. For first-time cohorts who started after 2016-17, the data for the four-year timeframe would be incomplete. As an example, since data for Fall 2022 is not available for students who started in Spring 2018 to allow those students a full four years to earn an Associate degree, then the data displayed is incomplete and displayed with lighter colored bars.

The following grid displays the years where complete information will be available for each metric in the cohort view by year and by 3-, 4-, 6-year timeframe for first-time cohort students for this build of the SSM dashboard. All years and 3-, 4-, or 6-year timeframes marked with “I” for incomplete indicate that the data is not complete (but will be updated as more years of data become available in future builds) but will be displayed by bars with lighter coloring and messaging to distinguish from years and time frame selections where the data is complete as noted with “C” and will not change. “N” denotes not available, and “S” denotes that data is not displayed since it is not usable essentially.

  • 2017-2018
  • 2016-2017
  • 2015-2016
  • 2014-2015

For cohort view the following years of data have been added as part of the 2021-22 build in order to view more data for the two, three, four and six year timeframes:

  • 2013-2014
  • 2012-2013

*Employment and earnings and transfer data is only available through 2020-21 with CTE Outcomes Survey information available through 2019-20.

Academic years include the leading summer plus fall, winter, and spring terms.

 

The following metrics in the Cohort View are first-time momentum metrics that were included in the Guided Pathways dashboard and have been brought into the SSM Cohort view as part of a 2021-22 SSM 4.1 build. The metric outcome is only measured for the first academic year for the cohort, for their first full year from first term, or for an indicated longer timeframe as specified by the definition:

        SM 408Cx Course Success Rate for All Cohort Students in their First Year

        SM 455Cx Average Total Number of Semester (Quarter) Units Successfully Completed by All Cohort Students in their First Year (SM 465Cx Quarter Units)

        SM 501Cx All Cohort Students Who Completed Both Transfer-Level Math and English Within the District in the First Year Aligned with SCFF (SM 504C)

        SM 541C All Cohort Students Who Completed Both Transfer-Level Math and English Within the District in Their First Year from First Term or Within Three Years for Credit ESL Students (SM 504C)

        SM 502Cx All Cohort Students Who Completed Transfer-Level Math Within the District in the First Year Aligned with SCFF (SM 507Cx)

        SM 542Cx All Cohort Students Who Completed Transfer-Level Math Within the District in Their First Year from First Term or Within Three Years for Credit ESL Students (SM 507Cx)

COMPARISON GROUPS

Comparison data will be provided for:

  • State Median: is based on the 117 colleges plus the two noncredit institutions. Counts, dollar values, and percentages are medians across all students in the state.
  • District Total: is based on all the colleges and noncredit institutions that are tracked in the Chancellor's Office Management Information System within a specific community college district. Counts, dollar values and rates are medians across all students in the district.
  • Micro-region Median: is based on all of the colleges and noncredit institutions within a specific microregion. Counts, dollar values, and rates are medians across all students in the microregion.
  • Macro-region Median: is based on all of the colleges and noncredit institutions within a specific macroregion. Counts, dollar values, and rates are medians across all students in the macroregion.

DATA LIMITATIONS

Missing and Suppressed Information

  • Link to FERPA and Complementary Suppression documentation from dashboards.
  • Masking is performed across the subgroups present (e.g., gender, age group, race/ethnicity), and over the primary attributes of data (year, metric, and locale, as well as journey, program, credit status, completion status, and first-time/returning status where present as a drilldown in the dashboard).

 

Deduplication

In cases where students are enrolled at more than one college or district, and have provided conflicting information regarding goals or characteristics, assignment will be handled as described below.

  • Gender: Use latest category provided statewide, or if a student has more than one gender or gender is unreported anywhere in the system at any level other than the individual college level, assign the student to the “multiple values reported” category which is different than the “unknown/non-respondent” category that corresponds to the “X” selection for the data element. For the 2022-23 build, the “multiple values reported” subgroup will continue be calculated but always suppressed. Since students in that subgroup are more likely to have conflicting student records, there is the possibility that results for multiple students are aggregated into one student especially when a regional or statewide selection is made, values are possibly inflated for that subgroup. However, since “multiple values reported” is a generated category, it will not trigger Complementary Suppression of another gender subgroup.
  • Race/Ethnicity: Use latest category provided statewide, or if there is more than one selection in the same term anywhere in the system at any level other than the individual college level, assign the student to the “multiple values reported” category which is different than the “unknown/non-respondent” category that corresponds to the “X” selection for SB04 Gender. For the 2022-23 build, the “multiple values reported” subgroup will continue be calculated but always suppressed. Since students in that subgroup are more likely to have conflicting student records, there is the possibility that results for multiple students are aggregated into one student especially when a regional or statewide selection is made, values are possibly inflated for that subgroup. However, since “multiple values reported” is a generated category, it will not trigger Complementary Suppression of another race/ethnicity subgroup.
  • Age: Use age as of October 15th of the academic year anywhere in the community college system. NOTE: because a student’s date-of-birth is a part of their unique student identifier in this dashboard, and a student’s age is calculated based on their age as of Oct 15th of the academic year, no students will be assigned to a “multiple values reported” subgroup
  • Financial Support: If a student has ever received financial support at any college, they will be assigned to the relevant financial support category at all institutions
  • First Generation: If a student has ever been flagged as first generation at any college, they will be considered first generation at all colleges
  • Foster Youth: If a student has ever been flagged as foster youth at any college, they will be considered foster youth at all colleges
  • DSPS: If a student has ever been flagged as a DSPS or Disabled Students Programs & Services at any college, they will be considered DSPS at all colleges
  • Veterans: If a student has ever been flagged as a veteran at any college, they will be considered a veteran at all colleges
  • Homeless: If a student has ever been flagged as homeless at any college, they will be considered homeless at all colleges
  • Credit English Language Leaners: If a student has ever taken a credit ESL course at any college, they will be considered a credit English language learner at all colleges
  • LGBT: Use latest category in the latest term provided at the institutional level selected
  • All non-standard disaggregations: If there is conflicting information for a student for non-standard disaggregations in the same selected academic year when enrollment is required, a method has not yet been applied to resolve that collision or conflicting information as the student is rolled-up into a multi-college district, microregion, macroregion or statewide. For example, if a student is flagged as LGBT at one college in the microregion but as non-LGBT at another college in the same microregion, that student would be counted as both LGBT and non-LGBT at the microregion level. Therefore, there are instances in the multi-college district, regional and statewide locales where the sums of the non-standard disaggregation subgroups for values and denominators are greater than overall values and denominators.

Data Sources

  • Community college metrics are based on records submitted by community colleges to the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office Management Information System (MIS), from student self-reported information in OPEN CCC Apply version of the application form (the student application form), and the Chancellor’s Office Transfer Bucket, which combines information from the National Student Clearinghouse (which tracks enrollments at colleges across the country) with direct matches with CSU and UC.
  • Attained apprenticeship journey-level status is based on a match with the Department of Apprenticeship Standards through an MOU with the Community College Chancellor’s Office.
  • Except for job in field of study, employment and earnings metrics are based on records in California’s Employment Development Department’s Unemployment Insurance (UI) data. UI data only contain wages for those employed in an industry covered by Unemployment Insurance in California. Therefore, the following individuals are excluded from those metrics: employed by the military or federal government, self-employed, employed out of state, unemployed, not in the workforce or without a Social Security number recorded in the SB (STUDENT-BASICS) file from COMIS. The Unemployment Insurance data do not indicate how many hours an individual worked nor part time/full time status nor employment in field of study. For more information, please refer to the Exempt Employment Information Sheet from EDD: https://www.edd.ca.gov/pdf_pub_ctr/de231ee.pdf.
  • Data for employment and earnings metrics from the EDD UI wage data set, apprenticeship status and transfer metrics are based on matches using a student’s Social Security Number (SSN). Students with a valid social security number are noted in MIS in SB01 Student-Identifier-Status. When SB01 = S, then SB00 Student-Identifier is the student’s SSN and not the district ID.
  • The metric for attained the living wage requires a baseline living wage to be able to compare student earnings against. Living wage data is based on the cost of living for a single adult in the county in which each college’s district office is located. Living wage figures for 2021 are drawn from the Family Needs Calculator produced by the Insight Center for Community and Economic Development at https://insightcced.org/family-needs-calculator/. The source for their information is The Self-Sufficiency Standard for California 2021, Center for Women's Welfare, University of Washington at http://www.selfsufficiencystandard.org/california.  These are the same figures as those used in the Student Centered Funding Formula (SCFF). However, this source does not update the living wage figures every year. Therefore, the figures will be updated if living wage figures are updated by the Insight Center and used in the SCFF calculation in the year of the dashboard build.
  • Employment in the field of study is based on student responses to the CTE Outcomes Survey. Given that participation in the survey is voluntary and that average response rates are 28-34%, this metric may be incomplete and not fully representative for all former students. The CTE Outcomes Survey responses from some larger noncredit programs are included beginning in survey year 2018-19 after a pilot program was conducted. For more information, please refer to the Santa Rosa Junior College CTEOS website Information and Resources and FAQ document.
    • The survey is only sent to the following types of credit students:
      • Completers: Have received a vocational/CTE award that is Chancellor’s Office approved and enroll in 0-5 units each semester the next year (not enrolled or only minimally enrolled).
      • Terminal Certificates: Received a vocational/CTE award of at least 6 units that is not Chancellor’s Office approved (such as certificates with less than 12 units) and are not enrolled the following year.
      • Skills Builders: Have completed 9 units SAM coded A-D, with at least one course SAM coded A-C (within the prior 3 years), have not received a vocational/CTE award of 6 or more units, and are not enrolled the following year.
    • The survey is only sent to the following types of noncredit students:
      • Completers: Students who enrolled and received a noncredit vocational/CTE award and enrolled 0 hours in CTE each semester the next year (not enrolled in CTE anywhere in the system).
      • Skills Builders: Students who did not earn an award. These students enrolled in noncredit CTE coursework, completed at least 48 hours in that year, and enrolled 0 hours in CTE each semester the next year (not enrolled in CTE anywhere in the system).
        Note: The CTE noncredit cohort was updated in 2020-21 to include “in CTE” for the 0 hours and not enrolled requirements.

 

METRIC DEFINITION DESCRIPTIONS

  • Description: The description of the metric
  • Student Type: The student journey that the metric applies to: Adult Education/ESL, Short-Term Career Education, Degree/Transfer, Undecided/Other or All
  • Display: Whether the metric applies to the snapshot or cohort view
  • Data Source: The entity providing data used in the calculation or source of data
  • Data Element: The specific data elements used from each data source
  • Calculation: The specific calculations used to derive the data value
  • Denominator: The universe of students included (e.g. Non-Credit students)
  • Value Type: The type of data value populated for the metric (e.g., unduplicated count, percentage)
  • Notes: Important information or caveats about the metric including information on alignment to the Student Success Funding Formula (SCFF) if applicable

* In the denominator section of a metric, there will often be a list of denominators for each student journey including the unique metric ID for which the denominator has been created.

As an example, for metric SM 400Sx Students in Selected Student Journey Who Demonstrated a Skills Gain, there are three denominators listed since the metric is displayed for the Adult Ed or ESL, Undecided/Other and All Student Journeys with links to each denominator calculation:

SM 324SX Adult Ed or ESL Students Who Enrolled in Basic Skills Courses for SM 400SX

SM 324SU Undecided/Other Students Who Enrolled in Basic Skills Courses for SM 400SU

SM 324SW All Students Who Enrolled in Basic Skills Courses for SM 400SW

DENOMINATORS (NOT DISPLAYED ON DASHBOARD)

This section of the Metric Definition Dictionary (MDD) lists denominators used for metrics displayed on the dashboard.  However, the denominators themselves are not displayed. Please note that there are metrics used as denominators not included in this section since they ARE displayed on the dashboard because they themselves are metrics displayed in the Student Type section, i.e., SM 122.

COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENTS

All earnings data have been adjusted for inflation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all Urban Consumers values extracted from the California Department of Finance site. A California CPI is calculated by the California Department of Finance as a population-weighted average of the BLS-published local area CPIs. California CPI is used from the Fiscal Year Averages from 1950-51.

LIVING WAGE

Living wage data is based on the cost of living for a single adult in the county in which each college’s district office is located. Living wage figures for 2021 used in the Student Centered Funding Formula (SCFF) calculations are drawn from the Family Needs Calculator produced by the Insight Center for Community and Economic Development at https://insightcced.org/family-needs-calculator/ from Self-Sufficiency Standard at the Center for Women’s Welfare, University of Washington from the 2021 Data Set by county.

2021 living wage values for a single adult from the Insight Center for Community and Economic Development are used for the 2021-22 build of the SSM dashboard. The mapping of districts and colleges to counties used aligns with SCFF. For Calbright College, a weighted average by county population from Census Bureau for 2021 of all CA county single adult living wages has been used.
