Student Success Alliance (SSA)

ºìÐÓÊÓƵ’s newly formedÌýÌý(SSA), has completed a three-year environmental scan of student success at ºìÐÓÊÓƵ. As a result of its efforts and in furtherance of ºìÐÓÊÓƵ’s Strategic Goal 1, the SSA will begin implementing the resultingÌýStudent Success PlanÌýto support the success of students at ºìÐÓÊÓƵ through the coordination of data-driven processes across the institution.Ìý

In addition to Retention and Course Success Rate, Degree, Certificate, and Program Completion are monitored by the SSA and through ºìÐÓÊÓƵ’s strategic goals.

Degree/Certificate Completion:

The Degree/Certificate Completion numbers reported through KPI 1.4 represent the total number of degrees and certificates awarded during the academic year. As a part of ºìÐÓÊÓƵ’s Performance Agreements with the Kansas Board of Regents, a target baseline goal of 946 degrees or certificates completed. This goal is reviewed each month during ºìÐÓÊÓƵ’sÌýÌýmeetings and can be referenced using the KBORÌý.

Program Completion (100%, 150%, 200%):

In support of Goal 1, ºìÐÓÊÓƵ has established a five-year goal for the completion rate of first-time students at 200% of the regular time (4 years). By AY 26-27, 42% of students will have completed their program of study within four years of the initial enrollment. This is a modest increase from ºìÐÓÊÓƵ’s most recent completion rates reported in AY22 (40%); however, it reflects a significant increase in ºìÐÓÊÓƵ’s average completion rates for the last five years. Further, the SSA will begin reporting on programmatic impacts on completion as a part of the Student Success Plan.
