2015 Network Survey ResultsSlide11
Start by Asking Questions
Where do we first lose students in the pipeline?
How do students perform in our top highest enrolled courses?
How do we support students through the student experience from connection, entry, progression, completion and as they transition to 4-year and workforce?
Is our student intake process effective?
Do all student groups have similar progression and completion rates or are there performance gaps?Slide12
