2022-23 CCC Institutional Set-Standards (ISS) and Aspirational Goals
Institutional Set-Standards are an accreditation requirement (Standard I.B.3) that states: "The institution establishes institution-set standards for student achievement, appropriate to its mission, assesses how well it is achieving them in pursuit of continuous improvement, and publishes this information." ACCJC requires that the college have floor and aspirational goals for course completion, transfer to a four-year-institution, degree completion, and certificate completion. The college reports on the progress toward these goals in the Annual Report to ACCJC as well as in Institutional Self-Evaluation Reports and the Midterm Report.
Process
The Institutional Effectiveness Advisory reviewed the past 3 years of data and reached a consensus for their recommended ISS, which they forwarded to Student Success and Equity Committee for review and approval.
More information is available on the Institutional Effectiveness Advisory SharePoint.
| 2019-20 | 2020-21 | 2021-22 | Average | ISS Floor | Aspirational |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 78% | 79% | 75% | 77% | 70% | 77% |
|
Definition: Percent of students successfully completing the course (receives a grade of A, B, C, P (Cr)). Note that students dropped prior to census are not included in this calculation.* EW withdrawals are excluded from course success. Consequently, due to large number of EW’s in SP2020, the 19-20 course success rate is inflated compared to years when EW grades were not as easily available. Source: UP Plan Dashboard. |

Note: CSU and IGETC Certificates approved starting in 2018-19, which accounts for the large increase in certificates awarded in 2018-19. * Percentages for Transfer, Degree, and Certificate calculated by dividing the outcome count by the annual unduplicated headcount for that academic year. While not required by ACCJC, this is done to track outcomes over time while controlling for any enrollment fluctuations. |

2020-21 CCC Vision for Success Aspirational Goals
In 2018 the CA legislature passed the Student Funding Formula (AB 1809 – 84750.4 (m) (1)) bill which included a requirement that colleges and districts adopt local goals that:
- Are aligned with the system-wide goals identified in the Vision for Success.
- Are measureable numerically.
- Specify the specific timeline for achievement (2021-22).
Below displays the CCC local vision for success five year goals as approved by all college constituencies in spring 2019 and the progress. We did not integrate these metrics with the ISS, but will consider doing so in the future once we receive more information from the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office about how they will revise and update these goals/metrics in future years.
| Progress | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goals | Indicators | Baseline: 2016-17 | 2021-22 CCC Goal | 2018-2019 | 2019-2020 | Strategic Plan Alignment |
| Systemwide, increase by at least 20 percent the number of CCC students annually who acquire associate degrees, credentials, certificates, or specific job skill sets that prepare them for in-demand jobs by 2021-22. | * Attained the Vision Goal Completion Definition | 489 | 700 | 741 | 826 | 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.2, 3.4, 4.1, 5.3, 6.1 |
| * Completed Associate Degrees | 472 | 720 | 877 | 782 | ||
| * Completed CCCCO-approved certificates | 42 | 70 | 612 | 725 | ||
| GOAL 2: Transfer Systemwide, increase by 35 percent the number of CCC students transferring annually to a UC or CSU by 2021-22. | * Completed ADT degrees OR | 330 | 446 | 501 | 585 | 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.2, 3.4, 4.1, 6.1 |
| Transfers to UC/CSU | 828 | 1,118 | 882 | N/A | ||
| GOAL 3: Unit Accumulation Systemwide, decrease the number of units accumulated by CCC students earning associate degrees, from an average of approximately 87 total units to an average of 79 total units by 2021-22. | *** Average units earned per completed associate degree | 81 | 79 | 82 | 75 | 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 2.6, 3.1, 3.3, 6.1 |
| GOAL 4: Workforce Systemwide, increase the percent of exiting CTE students who report being employed in their field of study, from the most recent statewide average of 69% to 76% by 2021-22. | Percent of exiting CTE students who report being employed in their field of study | 64% | 76% | 56% | N/A | 1.1, 1.3, 2.5, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 6.1 |
| GOAL 5: Equity Systemwide, reduce equity gaps across all of the above measures through faster improvements among traditionally underrepresented student groups, with the goal of cutting achievement gaps by 40 percent by 2021-22 and fully closing those achievement gaps for good by 2026-27. | Each selected indicator from the above list is disaggregated for those student groups identified as disproportionately impacted in your annual Equity. | Reduce all gaps by 40% | Baseline data and specific numeric goals are available upon request or via nova.cccco.edu. | 1.4, 2.2, 2.3, 3.5, 6.1 | ||

***Note: The methodology for calculating unit accumulation was changed in the 2020 Student Success Metrics update. Consequently, historical numbers have changed a bit since last reported. * All Vision for Success degree and certificate numbers are unduplicated counts, whereas local UP Plan Data Dashboard counts are duplicated. |
