Introduction The Performance Measures for Student Success Report is the North Carolina Community College System’s major accountability document. This annual performance report is based on data compiled from the previous year and serves to inform colleges and the public on the performance of our 58 community colleges.
In 1993, the State Board of Community Colleges began monitoring performance data on specific measures to ensure public accountability for programs and services. In 1998, the General Assembly directed the State Board to review past performance measures and define standards to ensure programs and services offered by community colleges in North Carolina were of sufficient quality.
In 2010, President Scott Ralls established a Performance Measures Committee to develop new performance‐based student success measures to go into effect in 2013. The Committee was led by two community college presidents, Dr. Dennis Massey of Pitt Community College and Dr. Molly Parkhill of Blue Ridge Community College. The Committee was comprised of college presidents, vice‐presidents, faculty, and directors from a diverse group of colleges representing various areas of expertise.
After a year of researching, drafting, and soliciting feedback from college faculty and staff on potential measures, the Committee formally presented the following eight measures to the State Board:
Basic Skills Student Progress Developmental Student Success Rate in College‐Level English Courses
First Year Progression Licensure and Certification Passing Rate
GED Diploma Passing Rate
Developmental Student Success Rate in College‐Level Math Courses
Curriculum Student Completion
College Transfer Performance
In November 2011, the State Board formally approved the Performance Measures. These measures were then submitted to the General Assembly in March 2012 and later adopted in June 2012 through Section 8.5 of S.L. 2012‐142.
As the revised performance measures were being finalized, attention was turned to developing recommendations for incorporating performance into colleges’ regular formula budget allocations. In May 2012, President Ralls appointed a team of college presidents to a Performance Funding Committee to develop a performance funding model. This committee was led by State Board Chairman K. Ray Bailey and Garret Hinshaw, President of Catawba Valley Community College.
One of the outcomes of this committee was the establishment of system‐wide baseline and excellence levels for each measure. The committee recommended using consistent, statistically‐defined levels to promote transparency, simplicity, and objectivity. This utilization of the levels is a departure from the System’s historical use of “standards.”
Based on three years of historical data (if available) for each measure, the baseline levels were set two standard deviations below the system mean, and the excellence levels were set one standard deviation above the system mean. These levels remain static for three years and will be reset in the 2016 Report.
The performance summary on the following page provides each college with an overview of its results as compared to its peers. Color indicators represent various levels of performance within each measure:

A. Basic Skills Student Progress Purpose
To ensure adults with low literacy skills are progressing academically toward basic skill attainment necessary for employment and self‐sufficiency
Description
Percentage of students who progress as defined by an educational functioning level.
Methodology
Denominator: Basic skills students attempting 60 or more contact hours during program year. Excludes High Adult Secondary Education initial placements.
Numerator: Basic skills students attempting 60 or more contact hours during program year, who complete the program year at a higher educational functioning level. Excludes high adult secondary education initial placements.
Note: Initial placement is set by the first NRS approved test(s) taken during the program year. The initial placement is the lowest Educational Functioning Level of the tests given within 3 days of the first test of the program year. A pre‐test is considered if it occurs up to 90 days prior to the program year and the test code and component match the test code and component of the one having the lowest EFL of the first test(s) in the program year.

LEIS annual data file
Details
To be included in this measure student had to have been enrolled in a class during the Basic Skills/College and Career Readiness program year (July 1 – June 30), have accumulated 60 or more total contact hours across all classes enrolled, and not have an initial placement of High Adult Secondary Education. Initial placement is based upon the National Reporting System (NRS) guidelines of being the lowest Educational Functioning Level of the first NRS approved test(s) taken during the program year. Colleges received credit for all students who tested at a higher Educational Functioning Level at any point of the Basic Skills/College and Career Readiness program year (July 1 – June 30) in the same test and component that set the initial placement. Colleges are also given credit for students who test at Adult Secondary Education Low, are an Adult High School student, and meet the federal and state assessment policy guidelines for moving up an educational functioning level to Adult Secondary Education High.

B. GED Diploma Passing Rate Purpose
To ensure quality GED preparation and high levels of GED attainment
Description
Percentage of students taking at least one GED test during a program year who receive a GED diploma during the program year.
Methodology
Denominator: GED students with an Initial placement of Low Adult Secondary Education or High Adult Secondary Education who take at least one GED test during the program year (July 1 – June 30) and have 12 or more total contact hours.
Numerator: GED students with an Initial placement of Low Adult Secondary Education or High Adult Secondary Education who take at least one GED test during the program year (July 1 – June 30), and have 12 or more total contact hours, and receive a GED diploma

C. Developmental Student Success Rate in College‐Level English Courses Purpose
To ensure remedial English and reading coursework prepares students to succeed in credit‐bearing English courses
Description
Percentage of previous developmental English and/or reading students who successfully complete a credit English course with a grade of “C” or better upon the first attempt.
Methodology
Denominator: All students enrolling in their first credit English course during an academic year who also enrolled in a developmental English and/or reading course during the same or previous academic year. Does not include students who do not attend the class i.e. transfer credits, credit by exam or reported grades of ‘NA’ and ‘NS’.
Numerator: All students earning a grade of “C” or better in their first credit English course during an academic year who enrolled in a developmental English and/or reading course in the same or previous academic year. Does not include students who do not attend the class (ie transfer credit, credit by exam, etc).

Denominator: Students must meet one of the following criteria: Enrolled in their first credit English course during the reporting year and enrolled in a developmental English or Reading course during the previous reporting year (Fall/Spring/Summer) at the same college.
OR
Enrolled in their first credit English course during the reporting year and enrolled in a developmental English or Reading course during the same reporting year (Fall/Spring/Summer) at the same college. The student’s developmental English or Reading course semester must be equal to or precede their first credit English course.
Not eligible for this measure are students who complete developmental English course by exam, placement or transfer.
Numerator: All students from the denominator who earned a grade of “C” or better in their first credit English course during the reporting year (Fall/Spring/Summer). The first credit English course evaluated cannot be a lab section. First credit English course is based on any course with prefix “ENG” and course number greater than 099. When multiple English courses are enrolled in during the same semester, the lowest numbered course will be evaluated.

E. First Year Progression Purpose
To ensure first‐year students reach an academic momentum point that helps predict future credential completion
Description
Percentage of first‐time fall credential‐seeking students attempting at least twelve hours within their first academic year who successfully complete (“P”, “C” or better) at least twelve of those hours
Methodology
Denominator: A fall cohort of credential‐seeking students (program code A, D, C) enrolled in curriculum courses at a college for the first time after high school graduation. Must attempt at least twelve hours (including developmental and withdraw) within the first year fall, spring, and summer semesters. Includes those dually enrolled previously at the same institution and excludes students previously enrolled at another college. Does not include students who do not attend the class i.e. transfer credits, credit by exam or reported grades of ‘NA’ and ‘NS’.
Numerator: Those within the cohort above who complete at least twelve hours (including developmental) with a “P”, “C” or better within the first year.

H. College Transfer Performance Purpose
To ensure the academic success of community college students at a four‐year university or college
Description
Among community college associate degree completers and those who have completed 30 or more credit hours who transfer to a four‐year university or college, the percentage who earn a GPA of 2.00 or better after two consecutive semesters within the academic year at the transfer institution.
Methodology
Denominator: Students with an associate degree or at least 30 articulated transfer credits enrolled during the fall and spring semesters at a four‐year institution who were enrolled at a community college during the previous academic year. Only includes North Carolina based four‐year institutions and four‐year institutions which the individual community college has an articulated transfer agreement.
Numerator: Students included in the denominator who have earned a GPA of 2.00 or better aggregated over the fall and spring semesters at the transfer institution.
Note: Community colleges are allowed to supplement data with results from out of state institutions which they have articulation agreements.
Source
Curriculum Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file National Student Clearinghouse UNC‐General Administration Participating NC independent colleges and universities including Barton College, Belmont Abbey College, Brevard College, Campbell University, Catawba College, Chowan University, Elon University, Gardner‐Webb University, Greensboro College, Guilford College, Mars Hill College, Meredith College, Methodist University, Montreat College, N.C. Wesleyan College, Pfeiffer University, Queens University of Charlotte, Salem College, and Shaw University
Details
UNC‐GA matched the records of community college students receiving an associate degree during the academic year or accumulating at least 30 articulated college transfer credit hours against subsequent fall and spring UNC system student records to determine transfer enrollment at a North Carolina public university and first year academic performance. UNCGA provided aggregate totals of transfer students who did or did not attain GPAs equal or greater than 2.00 in their first academic year.
Additional lists of students based on National Student Clearinghouse matches were sent to participating independent colleges and universities. These colleges and universities returned files identifying whether or not students attained GPAs equal or greater than 2.00 in their first academic year.
Data from these sources were combined to determine the overall percentage of transfers with a GPA equal or greater than 2.00 after two semesters.

Introduction
The Performance Measures for Student Success Report is the North Carolina Community College System’s major accountability document. This annual performance report is based on data compiled from the previous year and serves to inform colleges and the public on the performance of our 58 community colleges.
In 1993, the State Board of Community Colleges began monitoring performance data on specific measures to ensure public accountability for programs and services. In 1998, the General Assembly directed the State Board to review past performance measures and define standards to ensure programs and services offered by community colleges in North Carolina were of sufficient quality.
In 2010, President Scott Ralls established a Performance Measures Committee to develop new performance‐based student success measures to go into effect in 2013. The Committee was led by two community college presidents, Dr. Dennis Massey of Pitt Community College and Dr. Molly Parkhill of Blue Ridge Community College. The Committee was comprised of college presidents, vice‐presidents, faculty, and directors from a diverse group of colleges representing various areas of expertise.
After a year of researching, drafting, and soliciting feedback from college faculty and staff on potential measures, the Committee formally presented the following eight measures to the State Board:
Basic Skills Student Progress
Developmental Student Success Rate in College‐LevelEnglish Courses
First Year Progression
Licensure and Certification Passing Rate
GED Diploma Passing Rate
Developmental Student Success Rate in College‐LevelMath Courses
Curriculum Student Completion
College Transfer Performance
In November 2011, the State Board formally approved the Performance Measures. These measures were then submitted to the General Assembly in March 2012 and later adopted in June 2012 through Section 8.5 of S.L. 2012‐142.
As the revised performance measures were being finalized, attention was turned to developing recommendations for incorporating performance into colleges’ regular formula budget allocations. In May 2012, President Ralls appointed a team of college presidents to a Performance Funding Committee to develop a performance funding model. This committee was led by State Board Chairman K. Ray Bailey and Garret Hinshaw, President of Catawba Valley Community College.
One of the outcomes of this committee was the establishment of system‐wide “baselines” and “goals” for each measure. The committee recommended using consistent, statistically‐defined baselines and goals to promote transparency, simplicity, and objectivity. This utilization of baselines and goals is a departure from the System’s historical use of “standards.”
Based on three years of historical data (if available) for each measure, baselines were set two standard deviations below the system mean, and the goals were set one standard deviation above the system mean. These baselines and goals remain static for three years and will be reset in the 2016 Report.
The performance summary on the following page provides each college with an overview of its results as compared to its peers. Color indicators represent various levels of performance within each measure:
Met or exceeded the goal Above the baseline, but below the college average
Above the college average, but below the goal Below the baseline

A. Basic Skills Student Progress
Purpose
To ensure adults with low literacy skills are progressing academically toward basic skill attainment necessary for employment and self‐sufficiency
Description
Percentage of students who progress as defined by an educational functioning level.
Methodology
Denominator: Basic skills students attempting 60 or more contact hours during program year. Excludes High Adult Secondary Education initial placements.
Numerator: Basic skills students attempting 60 or more contact hours during program year, who complete the program year at a higher educational functioning level. Excludes high adult secondary education initial placements.
Note: Initial placement is set by the first NRS approved test(s) taken during the program year. The initial placement is the lowest Educational Functioning Level of the tests given within 3 days of the first test of the program year. A pre‐test is considered if it occurs up to 90 days prior to the program year and the test code and component match the test code and component of the one having the lowest EFL of the first test(s) in the program year.

To be included in this measure student had to have been enrolled in a class during the Basic Skills/College and Career Readiness program year (July 1 – June 30), have accumulated 60 or more total contact hours across all classes enrolled, and not have an initial placement of High Adult Secondary Education. Initial placement is based upon the National Reporting System (NRS) guidelines of being the lowest Educational Functioning Level of the first NRS approved test(s) taken during the program year. Colleges received credit for all students who tested at a higher Educational Functioning Level at any point of the Basic Skills/College and Career Readiness program year (July 1 – June 30) in the same test and component that set the initial placement. Colleges are also given credit for students who test at Adult Secondary Education Low, are an Adult High School student, and meet the federal and state assessment policy guidelines for moving up an educational functioning level to Adult Secondary Education High.

H. College Transfer Performance
Purpose
To ensure the academic success of community college students at a four‐year university or college
Description
Among community college associate degree completers and those who have completed 30 or more credit hours who transfer to a four‐year university or college, the percentage who earn a GPA of 2.00 or better after two consecutive semesters within the academic year at the transfer institution.
Methodology
Denominator: Students with an associate degree or at least 30 articulated transfer credits enrolled during the fall and spring semesters at a four‐year institution who were enrolled at a community college during the previous academic year. Only includes North Carolina based four‐year institutions and four‐year institutions which the individual community college has an articulated transfer agreement.
Numerator: Students included in the denominator who have earned a GPA of 2.00 or better aggregated over the fall and spring semesters at the transfer institution.
Note: Community colleges are allowed to supplement data with results from out of state institutions which they have articulation agreements.

Wesleyan College, Pfeiffer University, Queens University of Charlotte, Salem College, and Shaw University
Details
Lists of students enrolled receiving an associate degree during that academic year and those who had accumulated at least 30 articulated college transfer credit hours data were sent to UNCGA. These lists were matched against subsequent fall and spring UNC system student records to determine transfer enrollment at a North Carolina public university and first year academic performance. UNCGA provided aggregate totals of transfer students who did or did not attain GPAs equal or greater than 2.00 in their first academic year. Detailed reports containing the data associated with this measure can be accessed at http://www.northcarolina.edu/ira/ir/analytics/tsp.htm. The relative reports are First‐Year UNC Academic Performance of YEAR Community College Associate Degree Recipients and First‐Year UNC Academic Performance of YEAR Community College Students with at Least 30 Semester Hours of Community College Coursework. Note: As of 4/9/14, the publically accessible reports have not been updated with the most recent data.
Additional lists of students based on National Student Clearinghouse matches were sent to participating independent colleges and universities. These colleges and universities returned files identifying whether or not students attained GPAs equal or greater than 2.00 in their first academic year.
Data from these sources were combined to determine the overall percentage of transfers with a GPA equal or greater than 2.00 after two semesters.

Introduction
The Performance Measures for Student Success Report is the North Carolina Community College System’s major accountability document. This annual performance report is based on data compiled from the previous year and serves to inform colleges and the public on the performance of our 58 community colleges.
In 1993, the State Board of Community Colleges began monitoring performance data on specific measures to ensure public accountability for programs and services. In 1998, the General Assembly directed the State Board to review past performance measures and define standards to ensure programs and services offered by community colleges in North Carolina were of sufficient quality.
In 2010, President Scott Ralls established a Performance Measures Committee to develop new performance‐based student success measures to go into effect in 2013. The Committee was led by two community college presidents, Dr. Dennis Massey of Pitt Community College and Dr. Molly Parkhill of Blue Ridge Community College. The Committee was comprised of college presidents, vice‐presidents, faculty, and directors from a diverse group of colleges representing various areas of expertise.
After a year of researching, drafting, and soliciting feedback from college faculty and staff on potential measures, the Committee formally presented the following eight measures to the State Board.
Basic Skills Student Progress*
Developmental Student Success Rate in College‐LevelEnglish Courses
First Year Progression
Licensure and Certification Passing Rate
GED Diploma Passing Rate*
Developmental Student Success Rate in College‐LevelMath Courses
Curriculum Student Completion
College Transfer Performance
In November 2011, the State Board formally approved the Performance Measures. These measures were then submitted to the General Assembly in March 2012 and later adopted in June 2012 through Section 8.5 of S.L. 2012‐142.
As the revised performance measures were being finalized, attention was turned to developing recommendations for incorporating performance into colleges’ regular formula budget allocations. In May 2012, President Ralls appointed a team of college presidents to a Performance Funding Committee to develop a performance funding model. This committee was led by State Board Chairman K. Ray Bailey and Garret Hinshaw, President of Catawba Valley Community College.
One of the outcomes of this committee was the establishment of system‐wide “baselines” and “goals” for each measure. The committee recommended using consistent, statistically‐defined baselines and goals to promote transparency, simplicity, and objectivity. This utilization of baselines and goals is a departure from the System’s historical use of “standards.”
Based on three years of historical data (if available) for each measure, baselines were set two standard deviations below the system mean, and the goals were set one standard deviation above the system mean. These baselines and goals remain static for three years and will be reset in the 2016 Report.
This 2013 edition is the inaugural report utilizing the new measures, goals, and baselines.
The performance summary on the following page provides each college with an overview of its results as compared to its peers. Color indicators represent various levels of performance within each measure:
Met or exceeded the goal Above the baseline, but below the college average
Above the college average, but below the goal Below the baseline

H. College Transfer Performance Purpose
To ensure the academic success of community college students at a four‐year university or college
Description
Among community college associate degree completers and those who have completed 30 or more credit hours who transfer to a four‐year university or college, the percentage who earn a GPA of 2.00 or better after two consecutive semesters within the academic year at the transfer institution.
Methodology
Denominator: Students with an associate degree or at least 30 articulated transfer credits enrolled during the fall and spring semesters at a four‐year institution who were enrolled at a community college during the previous academic year. Only includes North Carolina based four‐year institutions and four‐year institutions which the individual community college has an articulated transfer agreement.
Numerator: Students included in the denominator who have earned a GPA of 2.00 or better aggregated over the fall and spring semesters at the transfer institution.
Note: The System Office will work with private colleges to collect performance data and community colleges will have to supplement data with results from out of state institutions which they have articulation agreements.

Curriculum Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file National Student Clearinghouse UNC‐General Administration Participating NC Independent Colleges and Universities including Barton College, Campbell University, Catawba College, Chowan University, Gardner‐Webb University, Mars Hill College, Meredith College, Methodist University, and Mount Olive College Note: This list will expand in the 2014 report
Details
Lists of community college students enrolled during the academic year who received an associate degree during that year and those who had accumulated at least 30 articulated college transfer credit hours data were sent to UNCGA. These lists were matched against subsequent fall and spring UNC system student records to determine transfer enrollment at a North Carolina public university and first year academic performance. UNC‐GA uses this data to generate detailed reports by community college, which can be accessed at http://www.northcarolina.edu/ira/ir/analytics/tsp.htm. The First‐Year UNC Academic Performance of YEAR Community College Associate Degree Recipients and First‐Year UNC Academic Performance of YEAR Community College Students with at Least 30 Semester Hours of Community College Coursework were used for this measure. Data from D.4. Percent of Students with End‐of‐Year GPA=>2.00 in these reports were combined to determine the overall percentage of transfers with a GPA equal or greater than 2.00 after two semesters at the university.

INTRODUCTION The Critical Success Factors Report is the North Carolina Community College System’s major accountability document. This annual performance report is based on data compiled from the previous year and serves to inform colleges and the public on the performance of our 58 community colleges. In 1993, the State Board of Community Colleges began monitoring performance data on specific measures to ensure public accountability for programs and services. In 1998, the General Assembly directed the State Board to review past performance measures and define standards to ensure programs and services offered by community colleges in North Carolina were of sufficient quality. The State Board of Community Colleges and the General Assembly approved twelve performance measures for accountability in 1999. Later in 2007, the General Assembly approved the reduction of performance measures to the following eight:
A. Progress of Basic Skills Students (Measure not included this year, as authorized by Section 8.6 of S.L. 2012‐142) B. Passing Rates on Licensure and Certification Examinations C. Performance of College Transfer Students D. Passing Rates of Students in Developmental Courses E. Success Rates of Developmental Students in Subsequent College‐Level Courses F. Satisfaction of Program Completers and Non‐Completers G. Curriculum Student Retention, Graduation, and Transfer H. Client Satisfaction with Customized Training Colleges receive Recognition of Exceptional Institutional Performance if they meet or exceed all performance measures, have no licensure exams with a passing rate of less than 70%, and college transfer students perform at a level equal to or above native UNC system students. The chart below shows by year the number of colleges who have met the standard for the individual performance measures, the number of colleges who have met all performance standards, and the number of colleges receiving Recognition of Exceptional Institutional Performance.
In 2010, President Scott Ralls appointed members of a Performance Measures Committee to review the current performance measures and recommend changes to the State Board of Community Colleges. These changes were approved by the State Board in 2011 and the General Assembly in 2012. The new measures and associated data will be reported in the 2013 report.

B: PASSING RATES ON LICENSURE & CERTIFICATION EXAMINATIONS
Description The percentage of first‐time test takers passing an examination required for North Carolina licensure or certification prior to practicing the profession. A licensure requirement for an occupation is one that is required by state statute for an individual to work in that occupation. Certification is generally voluntary but may be required by employers or an outside accrediting agency. Purely voluntary examinations are not reported.
Source The number of first‐time test‐takers and the number passing were provided to the System Office by agencies issuing the license or certification and validated by the colleges. Depending on the exam, data may be provided on a fiscal or calendar year. The institutional passing rate was calculated by dividing the total number of first‐time test takers passing for all reported examinations by the total number of persons who sat for the exam for the first time. For privacy and statistical validity, no examination data are reported when the number of first‐time test takers was fewer than 10.
System Standard 80% of first‐time test takers will pass examinations required for North Carolina licensure or certification.
Exceptional Institutional Performance Standard The college will have no exam with a passing rate less than 70%
Results For 2010‐11, 47 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 70% to a high of 96%. The aggregate result for the system was 87%. In addition, there were 36 colleges with no exam with a passing rate less than 70%.

C: PERFORMANCE OF COLLEGE TRANSFER STUDENTS
Description Of students transferring to a university with an associate degree or 24 articulated college transfer credit hours, the percentage who have a GPA equal or greater than 2.00 after two semesters at the university.
Source Lists of students enrolled in 2009‐2010 receiving an associate degree during that academic year and those who had accumulated at least 24 articulated college transfer credit hours data were sent to UNCGA. These lists were matched against fall 2010 and spring 2011 UNC system student records to determine transfer enrollment at a North Carolina public university and first year academic performance. Detailed reports by community college can be accessed at http://www.northcarolina.edu/ira/ir/analytics/tsp.htm. Two reports for each college were accessed from this site for this measure: First‐Year UNC Academic Performance of 2009‐10 Community College Associate Degree Recipients and First‐Year UNC Academic Performance of 2009‐10 Community College Students with at Least 24 Semester Hours of Community College Coursework. Data from D.4. Percent of Students with End‐of‐Year GPA=>2.00 in these reports were combined to determine the overall percentage of transfers with a GPA equal or greater than 2.00 after two semesters at the university. Community colleges are allowed to supplement this data with acquired performance data from private and out‐of‐state institutions that is consistent with the methodology employed by the UNCGA in calculating the data for transfer to public universities.
System Standard 83% of students transferring to a university with an associate degree or 24 articulated college transfer credit hours will have a GPA equal to or greater than 2.00 after two semesters at the university.
Exceptional Institutional Performance Standard Meet or exceed the aggregate performance of native UNC sophomores and juniors, which is 88% for this year.
Results For 2010‐11, 43 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 71% to a high of 100%. The aggregate result for the system was 88%. In addition, there were 28 colleges whose percentage equaled or exceeded the percentage of native UNC sophomores and juniors with a GPA greater than 2.00 (88%).

D: PASSING RATES OF STUDENTS IN DEVELOPMENTAL COURSES
Description The percentage of developmental course completers in English, reading or mathematics completing with a grade of "C" or better.
Source At the end of each semester, colleges submit a Curriculum Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file which is uploaded to the NCCCS Data Warehouse. Grade data in the Data Warehouse’s Curriculum Student Info II Universe was extracted by filtering “Course Prefix” equal to “ENG;MAT;RED”, “Course Number” less than “100”, and Reporting Term equal to “201003;201101;201102” and analyzed based on data in the fields “Letter Grade” and “College Letter Grade”. While all grades were extracted for analysis, only grades that equated to “A”,”B”,”C”,”D”, or “F” were counted as completers. Since colleges use different letter grades with multiple meanings, it was imperative to make sure all of the other, withdrawal, and incomplete grades were meaning the same thing across colleges for adequate comparisons. Thus, a survey was sent to colleges asking them to define the grades we have questions about. Additionally, the student handbook at each college was used to further help in the definitions when needed. Then each college letter grade was mapped to a consistent definition of letter grades. Other grades include those that equate to withdraw, incomplete, audit, transfer credit, etc. Results were shared and verified with institutions to ensure proper grade mapping.
Standard 75% of developmental course completers in English, reading or mathematics will complete with a grade "C" or better.
Results For 2010‐11, 48 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 61% to a high of 97%. The aggregate result for the system was 80%.

E: SUCCESS RATE OF DEVELOPMENTAL STUDENTS IN SUBSEQUENT COLLEGE‐LEVEL COURSES
Description Among developmental completers subsequently completing a college level English or mathematics course, the percentage passing the college level English or mathematics course with a grade of "D" or better. Specifically, the performance of those who took developmental English and/or reading courses and subsequently took college‐level English courses was assessed. Likewise, the performance of those who took developmental math courses and then took college‐level math courses was also assessed.
Source At the end of each semester, colleges submit a Curriculum Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file which is uploaded to the NCCCS Data Warehouse. Grade data in the Data Warehouse’s Curriculum Student Info II Universe was extracted by filtering “Course Prefix” equal to “ENG;MAT”, “Course Number” greater than or equal to “100”, and Reporting Term equal to “201003;201101;201102” and analyzed based on data in the fields “Letter Grade” and “College Letter Grade”. Any students who had taken a credit course in the same subject area in “200803;200901;200902;200903;201001;201002” were removed from the file to leave only first time credit course students. While all grades were extracted for analysis, only grades that equated to “A”,”B”,”C”,”D”, or “F” were counted as completers. These grades were matched to students who had previously taken developmental English, Reading, and/or Math courses for the terms “200803; 200901; 200902; 200903; 201001; 201002; 201003; 201101; 201102”. The same survey used in Performance Measure D was used to create a standardized grading system across all colleges using the college letter grade, survey responses, and student
handbook as needed. The standardized grades were then used in the final analysis. Results were shared and verified with institutions to ensure proper grade mapping.
Standard 80% of college level English or mathematics course completers with previous developmental coursework will complete the college level English or mathematics course with a grade of "D" or better.
Results For 2010‐11, 53 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 75% to a high of 98%. The aggregate result for the system was 87%.

F: SATISFACTION OF PROGRAM COMPLETERS AND NON‐COMPLETERS
Description The percentage of graduates and early‐leavers “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the overall quality of the college.
Source Data was collected from a Completer Survey and a Non‐Completer Survey that were developed and administered at the individual colleges. Many of the questions included on the surveys are required by the System Office, including a question on the “Overall quality of the college” with satisfaction options of “very satisfied”, “satisfied”, “dissatisfied”, and “very dissatisfied”. Completer Surveys were administered to students graduating in the 2010‐2011 academic year. Non‐Completer Surveys were administered to credential‐seeking students in Fall 2010 who were not enrolled in Fall 2011 and had not graduated. Colleges are required to report a statistically valid response rate. The overall satisfaction rates were calculated by dividing the total number of respondents “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the “Overall quality of the college” by the total number of question responses.
Performance Standard 90% of exiting students will be “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the overall quality of the college.
Results For 2010‐11, all 58 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 91% to a high of 100%. The aggregate result for the system was 96%.

G: CURRICULUM STUDENT RETENTION, GRADUATION, AND TRANSFER Description The percentage of fall credential‐seeking students who have graduated or are still enrolled at the same college, a university, or another community college one year later.
Source At the end of each semester, colleges submit a Curriculum Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file which is uploaded to the NCCCS Data Warehouse. Student enrollment data in the Data Warehouse’s Curriculum Student Info II Universe was extracted by filtering “Degree Type Desc” equal to “Associate;Certificate;Diploma” and “Reporting Term” equal to “201003”. This fall 2010 list of students was matched against those with a “Date Graduated in Curriculum” between “07/01/2010” and “12/31/2011” to determine those graduating. The fall 2010 list was also matched against those with “Reporting Term” equal to “201103” in either the Data Warehouse’s Curriculum Student Info II or Con‐Ed Universe (with “Funding Code Area” equal to “03” or ”04”)to determine fall 2011 enrollments in either curriculum or occupational extension programs. Finally, the fall 2010 list was sent to the National Student Clearinghouse to identify those who transferred to a college or university outside of the NC community College System. The combined data set was analyzed to determine which students from the fall 2010 list had “graduated”, “returned but did not graduate”, “transferred but did not graduate or return”, or “did not graduate, return, or transfer”.
Performance Standard 65% of fall credential‐seeking students will graduate, remain enrolled at the same college, or transfer to a university or another community college one year later.
Results For 2010‐11, 48 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 61% to a high of 75%. The aggregate result for the system was 67%.

INTRODUCTION The Critical Success Factors Report is the North Carolina Community College System’s major accountability document. This annual performance report serves to inform colleges and the public on the performance of our 58 community colleges. In 1993, the State Board of Community Colleges began monitoring performance data on specific measures to ensure public accountability for programs and services. In 1998, the General Assembly directed the State Board to review past performance measures and define standards to ensure programs and services offered by community colleges in North Carolina were of sufficient quality. The State Board of Community Colleges and the General Assembly approved twelve performance measures for accountability in 1999. Later in 2007, the General Assembly approved the reduction of performance measures to the current eight: A. Progress of Basic Skills Students B. Passing Rates on Licensure and Certification Examinations C. Performance of College Transfer Students D. Passing Rates of Students in Developmental Courses E. Success Rates of Developmental Students in Subsequent College‐Level Courses F. Satisfaction of Program Completers and Non‐Completers G. Curriculum Student Retention, Graduation, and Transfer H. Client Satisfaction with Customized Training Colleges receive Recognition of Exceptional Institutional Performance if they meet or exceed all eight performance measures, have no licensure exams with a passing rate of less than 70%, and college transfer students perform at a level equal to or above native UNC system students. The chart below shows by year the number of colleges who have met the standard for the individual performance measures, the number of colleges who have met all eight performance standards, and the number of colleges receiving Recognition of Exceptional Institutional Performance.
In 2010, President Scott Ralls appointed members of a Performance Measures Committee to review the current performance measures and recommend changes to the State Board of Community Colleges. Once approved by the State Board and the General Assembly, these changes will be reflected in the 2013 report.

A: PROGRESS OF BASIC SKILLS STUDENTS Description The aggregate percentage of adult literacy students completing a level of literacy, progressing within a level of literacy, or completing a predetermined goal. Source Data is submitted on an annual basis from each college into the Literacy Education Information System which is uploaded to the NCCCS Data Warehouse. This data is extracted from the Data Warehouse’s Literacy‐College Universe using “Reporting Year” = “2010” and analyzed at the individual student level using the fields “Mover Higher (Y/N)”, Level Completed (Y/N)”, “Progressing (Y/N)”, and “Goal Completed (Y/N)” to determine student progression. System Standard 75 % of adult literacy students will complete a level, progress within a level, or complete a predetermined goal. Results For 2009‐10, 56 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 69% to a high of 95%. The aggregate result for the system was 81%.

B: PASSING RATES ON LICENSURE & CERTIFICATION EXAMINATIONS
Description The percentage of first‐time test takers passing an examination required for North Carolina licensure or certification prior to practicing the profession. A licensure requirement for an occupation is one that is required by state statute for an individual to work in that occupation. Certification is generally voluntary but may be required by employers or an outside accrediting agency. Purely voluntary examinations are not reported.
Source The number of first‐time test‐takers and the number passing were provided to the System Office by agencies issuing the license or certification and validated by the colleges. Depending on the exam, data may be provided on a fiscal or calendar year. The institutional passing rate was calculated by dividing the total number of first‐time test takers for all reported examinations by the total number of persons who sat for the exam for the first time. For privacy and statistical validity, no examination data are reported when the number of first‐time test takers was fewer than 10.
System Standard 80% of first‐time test takers will pass examinations required for North Carolina licensure or certification.
Exceptional Institutional Performance Standard The college will have no exam with a passing rate less than 70%
Results For 2009‐10, 45 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 46% to a high of 97%. The aggregate result for the system was 86%. In addition, there were 34 colleges with no exam with a passing rate less than 70%.

C: PERFORMANCE OF COLLEGE TRANSFER STUDENTS
Description Of students transferring to a university with an associate degree or 24 articulated college transfer credit hours, the percentage who have a GPA equal or greater than 2.00 after two semesters at the university.
Source Lists of students enrolled in 2008‐2009 receiving an associate degree during that academic year and those who had accumulated at least 24 articulated college transfer credit hours data were sent to UNCGA. These lists were matched against fall 2009 and spring 2010 UNC system student records to determine transfer enrollment at a North Carolina public university and first year academic performance. Detailed reports by community college can be accessed at http://www.northcarolina.edu/ira/ir/analytics/tsp.htm. Two reports for each college were accessed from this site for this measure: First‐Year UNC Academic Performance of 2008‐09 Community College Associate Degree Recipients and First‐Year UNC Academic Performance of 2008‐09 Community College Students with at Least 24 Semester Hours of Community College Coursework. Data from D.4. Percent of Students with End‐of‐Year GPA=>2.00 in these reports were combined to determine the overall percentage of transfers with a GPA equal or greater than 2.00 after two semesters at the university. Community colleges are allowed to supplement this data with acquired performance data from private and out‐of‐state institutions that is consistent with the methodology employed by the UNCGA in calculating the data for transfer to public universities.
System Standard 83% of students transferring to a university with an associate degree or 24 articulated college transfer credit hours will have a GPA equal to or greater than 2.00 after two semesters at the university.
Exceptional Institutional Performance Standard Meet or exceed the aggregate performance of native UNC sophomores and juniors, which is 87% for this year.
Results For 2009‐10, 46 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 66% to a high of 100%. The aggregate result for the system was 87%. In addition, there were 33 colleges meeting or exceeding the aggregate performance of native UNC sophomores and juniors (87%).

D: PASSING RATES OF STUDENTS IN DEVELOPMENTAL COURSES
Description The percentage of developmental course completers in English, reading or mathematics completing with a grade of "C" or better.
Source At the end of each semester, colleges submit a Curriculum Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file which is uploaded to the NCCCS Data Warehouse. Grade data in the Data Warehouse’s Curriculum Student Info II Universe was extracted by filtering “Course Prefix” equal to “ENG;MAT;RED”, “Course Number” less than “100”, and Reporting Term equal to “200903;201001;201002” and analyzed based on data in the fields “Letter Grade” and “College Letter Grade”. While all grades were extracted for analysis, only grades that equated to “A”,”B”,”C”,”D”, or “F” were counted as completers. Other grades include those that equate to withdraw, incomplete, audit, transfer credit, etc. Results were shared and verified with institutions to ensure proper grade mapping.
Standard 75% of developmental course completers in English, reading or mathematics will complete with a grade "C" or better.
Results For 2009‐10, 47 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 62% to a high of 97%. The aggregate result for the system was 78%.

E: SUCCESS RATE OF DEVELOPMENTAL STUDENTS IN SUBSEQUENT COLLEGE‐LEVEL COURSES
Description Among developmental completers subsequently completing a college level English or mathematics course, the percentage passing the college level English or mathematics course with a grade of "D" or better. Specifically, the performance of those who took developmental English and/or reading courses and subsequently took college‐level English courses was assessed. Likewise, the performance of those who took developmental math courses and then took college‐level math courses was also assessed.
Source At the end of each semester, colleges submit a Curriculum Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file which is uploaded to the NCCCS Data Warehouse. Grade data in the Data Warehouse’s Curriculum Student Info II Universe was extracted by filtering “Course Prefix” equal to “ENG;MAT”, “Course Number” less than or equal to “100”, and Reporting Term equal to “200903;201001;201002” and analyzed based on data in the fields “Letter Grade” and “College Letter Grade”. While all grades were extracted for analysis, only grades that equated to “A”,”B”,”C”,”D”, or “F” were counted as completers. These grades were matched to students who had previously taken developmental English, Reading, and/or Math courses.
Standard 80% of college level English or mathematics course completers with previous developmental coursework will complete the college level English or mathematics course with a grade of "D" or better.
Results For 2009‐10, 52 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 67% to a high of 96%. The aggregate result for the system was 88%.

F: SATISFACTION OF PROGRAM COMPLETERS AND NON‐COMPLETERS
Description The percentage of graduates and early‐leavers “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the overall quality of the college.
Source Data was collected from a Completer Survey and a Non‐Completer Survey that were developed and administered at the individual colleges. Many of the questions included on the surveys are required by the System Office, including a question on the “Overall quality of the college” with satisfaction options of “very satisfied”, “satisfied”, “dissatisfied”, and “very dissatisfied”. Completer Surveys were administered to students graduating in the 2009‐2010 academic year. Non‐Completer Surveys were administered to credential‐seeking students in Fall 2009 who were not enrolled in Fall 2010 and had not graduated. Colleges are required to report a statistically valid response rate. The overall satisfaction rates were calculated by dividing the total number of respondents “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the “Overall quality of the college” by the total number of question responses.
Performance Standard 90% of exiting students will be “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the overall quality of the college.
Results For 2009‐10, 57 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 87% to a high of 100%. The aggregate result for the system was 96%.

G: CURRICULUM STUDENT RETENTION, GRADUATION, AND TRANSFER
Description The percentage of fall credential‐seeking students who have graduated or are still enrolled at the same college, a university, or another community college one year later.
Source At the end of each semester, colleges submit a Curriculum Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file which is uploaded to the NCCCS Data Warehouse. Student enrollment data in the Data Warehouse’s Curriculum Student Info II Universe was extracted by filtering “Curriculum Type Desc” equal to “Associate;Certificate;Diploma” and “Reporting Term” equal to “200903”. This fall 2009 list of students was matched against those with a “Date Graduated in Curriculum” between “07/01/2009” and “12/31/2010” to determine those graduating. The fall 2009 list was also matched against those with “Reporting Term” equal to “201003” in either the Data Warehouse’s Curriculum Student Info II or Con‐Ed Universe (with “Funding Code Area” equal to “03” or ”04”)to determine fall 2010 enrollments in either curriculum or occupational extension programs. Finally, the fall 2009 list was sent to the National Student Clearinghouse to identify those who transferred to a college or university outside of the NC community College System. The combined data set was analyzed to determine which students from the fall 2009 list had had “graduated”, “returned but did not graduate”, “transferred but did not graduate or return”, or “did not graduate, return, or transfer”.
Performance Standard 65% of fall credential‐seeking students will graduate, remain enrolled at the same college, or transfer to a university or another community college one year later.
Results For 2009‐10, 52 community colleges met this standard. The college results ranged from a low of 62% to a high of 73%. The aggregate result for the system was 68%.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS FOR THE
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM
Twenty First Annual Report
INTRODUCTION
First mandated by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1989 (S.L. 1989; C. 752; S. 80), the Critical Success Factors report has evolved into the major accountability document for the North Carolina Community College System. This twenty first annual report on the critical success factors is the result of a process undertaken to streamline and simplify accountability reporting by the community college system. The purpose of this report is twofold. First, this document is the means by which the community college system reports on performance measures, referred to as core indicators of success, for purposes of accountability and performance funding. Second, this document serves as an evaluation instrument for the System Strategic Plan.
Core Indicators of 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.
System Strategic Plan
Under the leadership of former President H. Martin Lancaster, the North Carolina Community College System embarked on a strategic planning process in January 1998. The purpose of the process was to develop a strategic plan that would focus the efforts of the system on a set of strategic initiatives. The strategic plan is the vehicle that sets the strategic direction for the System and guides the development of the biennial budget requests.
The purpose of factors two through five of the Critical Success Factors is to monitor the progress of the system in achieving the objectives in the strategic plan and to report those achievements. The measures that comprise these factors are the evaluation of the strategic
2
plan objectives. Unlike the measures comprising factor one, the measures included in factors two through five will change more frequently as new strategic plan objectives are developed. In addition, the measures in factors two through five are meant to be System measures, rather than individual college measures. When available, individual college data will be presented, but the intended focus of these measures is the success of the System in achieving some predefined level of achievement.
A matrix showing the factors and measures contained in the Critical Success Factors can be found on page 3.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR I: CORE INDICATORS OF STUDENT SUCCESS
In 1993, the State Board of Community Colleges began monitoring performance data on specific measures identified in the Critical Success Factors report and in the Annual Program Review report. Standards of performance were established for measures that were identified as being critical to ensure public accountability for programs and services.
In 1998, the North Carolina General Assembly directed the State Board of Community Colleges to undertake a review of all performance measures and standards with the intent of ensuring stronger public accountability. Concurrently, the General Assembly directed the State Board of Community Colleges to develop a plan for the implementation of performance funding.
As a result of efforts undertaken by the community college system, a set of 12 performance measures of accountability was adopted in February 1999. Recognizing the importance of these measures in the System’s public accountability efforts, the System Planning Council decided to designate the 12 measures as the core indicators of student success and include them as the first factor of the Critical Success Factors report. In the 2007 Session, the North Carolina General Assembly approved modifications to the North Carolina Community College Performance Measures as adopted by the State Board of Community Colleges on March 16, 2007. As a result, the number of performance measures was reduced to eight (8).
System summary data on each measure are presented in the report along with individual college’s performance data. A table is presented at the end of the text section that summarizes, by measure, whether or not colleges met the performance standard. Any college not meeting a standard is required to submit to the State Board of Community Colleges an action plan for improving performance.
The Core Indicators of Student Success are:
A. Progress of Basic Skills Students
B. Passing Rates on Licensure and Certification Examinations
C. Performance of College Transfer Students
D. Passing Rates of Students in Developmental Courses
E. Success Rates of Developmental Students in Subsequent College-Level Courses

CORE INDICATORS OF SUCCESS MEASURE A:
Progress of Basic Skills Students
Description/Definition—Basic skills students include all adult literacy students. Progress of basic skills students is a composite measure that includes the percent of students progressing within a level of literacy, the percent of students completing a level entered or a predetermined goal, and the percent of students completing the level entered and advancing to a higher level.
Methodology and Data Source—Data on basic skills students were collected by the college providing the instruction and entered into the Literacy Education Information System (LEIS). Data on the progression of basic skills students were submitted to the North Carolina Community College System Office annually. The data are compiled at the system office, and the composite measure and adjustment for each college were calculated.
Performance Standard—Standard for the progress of basic skills students is 75 percent for the composite measure. This measure is a required performance funding measure.
Results: For the year 2008-09, 55 community colleges met the required standard. The average composite measure for the system was 84 percent. The range in the composite progress measure was from a low of 73 percent to a high of 97 percent.

CORE INDICATORS OF SUCCESS MEASURE B:
Passing Rates on Licensure & Certification Examinations
Description/Definition—The percentage of first-time test takers from community colleges passing an examination required for North Carolina licensure or certification prior to practicing the profession. A licensure requirement for an occupation is one that is required by state statute for an individual to work in that occupation. Certification is generally voluntary but may be required by employers or an outside accrediting agency. Purely voluntary examinations are not reported.
Methodology and Data Source—Data were collected by the Research and Performance Management section in the President’s Office of the North Carolina Community College System Office from the agencies issuing the license or certification. Examination data were reported only for those licensure/certification exams for which data were available from the licensure/certification agencies. The data for most examinations were reported on a fiscal year. However, the data on nursing, emergency medical technician, physical therapy assistant, and veterinary medicine technology were reported on a calendar year.
Passing rates were calculated by dividing the number of persons who successfully pass an examination the first time they take the exam by the number of persons who sat for the exam for the first time. An aggregate institutional passing rate was calculated by dividing the total number of first-time test takers for all reported examinations by the total number of persons who sat for the exam for the first time. For privacy and statistical validity, no examination data are reported when the number of first-time test takers was fewer than 10.
Performance Standard— Performance standard for the aggregate institutional passing rate is 80 percent. To be rated EIP (Exceptional Institutional Performance), a college cannot have any licensure/certification exams for which the college controls who was eligible to sit for the exam with a passing rate less than 70%.
Results— For the year 2008-09, 47 community colleges met or exceeded the aggregate institutional passing rate of 80 percent; 36 community colleges had no exam for which they controlled who took the exam with a passing rate less than 70%. System average of aggregate institutional passing rate was eighty-six percent (86%).

CORE INDICATORS OF SUCCESS MEASURE C:
Performance of College Transfer Students
Description/Definition—College transfer programs provide educational experiences that will enable transfer students to make the transition to a baccalaureate program and perform as well as the students who enroll as first-time freshmen at universities. The purpose of this measure is to compare the performance of community college associate degree students (Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate in Fine Arts) who transfer to public North Carolina universities with students native to the four-year institutions.
Methodology and Data Source—Data on two cohorts of college transfer students entering the public universities each year were analyzed. One cohort analysis compared the performance of college transfer degree recipients (AA, AS, AFA) at the end of two semesters at the public university to the performance of native juniors. The second cohort analysis compared the performance of college transfer students completing at least 24 hours or more of college transfer courses at a community college but not completing the degree to the performance of native sophomores. A cell size of at least 10 students was required for reporting this measure.
Community colleges may elect to work with private colleges and universities in collecting data on students who transfer to those institutions. The data must be consistent with the methodology employed by the UNC GA in calculating the data for transfer to public universities. If colleges submitted data from private or out-of-state institutions, then the System Office would include the data with the public university data. When the total number of students is less than 10, the total number of students in three year and the respective percentage were reported.
Performance Standard— 83% of students in both associate degree recipients and the students who transferred with 24 or more semester hours at community colleges had GPA equal to or greater than 2.0 after two semesters at a university. To be identified as EIP (Exceptional Institutional Performance), performance of community college transfer students was to be equivalent to the performance of native UNC sophomores and juniors: 86% for this year.
Results— For students who completed an AA, AS or AFA degree in 2007-08 and transferred to a UNC institution or a private institution within a year, 89 percent had a GPA equal to or greater than 2.0 after two semesters at a university. For those students who completed 24 or more semester hours in community colleges and transferred to a UNC institution or a private institution, 83 percent had a GPA equal to or greater than 2.0 after two semesters at a university. When the data for both groups were combined, 85 percent of the transfers had a GPA equal to or greater than 2.0 after two semesters at a UNC institution or a private institution. Thirty-seven (37) community colleges met the 83 percent performance standard.

CORE INDICATORS OF SUCCESS MEASURE E:
Success Rate of Developmental Students in Subsequent College-Level Courses
Description/Definition—Performance of developmental students in subsequent college level courses will be measured. Specifically, performance of who took developmental English courses and subsequently took college-level English courses was assessed. Likewise, the performance of who took developmental math courses and then took college-level math courses was tracked.
The purpose of this measure is to provide evidence that developmental courses equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in their college studies. Once students have successfully completed the developmental courses, they should be able to pass curriculum courses.
Methodology and Data Source— At the end of each semester, colleges submit a Curriculum Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file to the North Carolina Community College System Office. These student unit record files were loaded into the System data warehouse and were the official data of record for state level reporting. In the CRPFA data file, identify students who took developmental level English, Reading, and Math courses. Then their records were matched with subsequent performance in college-level English and Math courses.
Performance Standard— Eighty percent (80%) of students who completed a developmental course in 2007-08 and completed subsequent college level course in 2008-09 will have a passing grade for the college level course.
Results— In 2008-09, eighty-seven percent (87%) of the students who completed a developmental English and/or Math course(s) had a grade of “D” or better in subsequent college-level English and/or Math courses. Fifty-eight (58) colleges met the standard in 2008-09.

CORE INDICATORS OF SUCCESS MEASURE F:
Satisfaction of Program Completers and Non-Completers
Description/Definition—This indicator reports the proportion of graduates and early-leavers who indicate that the quality of the college programs and services meet or exceed their expectations.
Methodology and Data Source—Data were collected by survey, with each college using a standard set of questions. For colleges with fewer than 250 non-returning students, a minimum of 25 valid surveys must be obtained. For the colleges with more than 250 non-returning students, a response rate equal to 10% of the total non-returning students or a statistically valid sample size must be obtained.
Performance Standard—Ninety percent (90%) of the combined respondents will report to be satisfied with the quality of the college's programs and services.
Results—Ninety-seven percent (97%) of program completers responded that they were satisfied with the academic programs of community colleges, while ninety-four percent (94%) of program non-completers responded that they were satisfied. The total percentage of satisfied (completers and non-completers combined) was ninety-six percent (96%). Fifty-eight (58) community colleges met the performance standard in 2008-09, with three (3) colleges having the response rate for non-completer survey to be too low (statistically invalid sample size).

CORE INDICATORS OF SUCCESS MEASURE G:
Curriculum Student Retention, Graduation, and Transfer
Description/Definition—This composite indicator consists of
1. Number of individuals completing a curriculum program with a certificate,diploma, or degree;
2. Number of individuals who have not completed a program but who are continuingenrollments in either curriculum or occupational extension programs;
3. Number of individuals who transferred to a university or another communitycollege.
This composite indicator will consist of the above three measures, each reported separately for each college. Sum of the three will be divided by the total number of curriculum students in the cohort to compute an indicator of curriculum student progress and success.
Methodology and Data Source: Cohorts would be defined each fall based upon number of students enrolled in degree granting curriculum programs (associate degree, certificate, and diploma). At the end of each semester, colleges submitted a Curriculum Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file to the North Carolina Community College System Office. These student unit record files were loaded into the System data warehouse and were the official data of record for state level reporting. Each college has a minimum of two trained Skilled Knowledge Workers (SKW) with complete access to their data in the data warehouse. Each SKW has the ability to verify the accuracy of the data once loaded into the data warehouse. The cohort was tracked from fall to fall using data from the data warehouse to determine those who have graduated and those who have continued to be enrolled. This number, divided by the initial cohort, is the percentage reported. Transfer rates were calculated using the National Student Clearinghouse data.
Performance Standard—Performance standard for this measure is 65 percent of the fall cohort will have completed their program, still be enrolled the following fall at the community college, or transferred to another community college or university.
Results—Seventy-two percent (72%) of the fall 2008 cohort had graduated, returned to enroll, or transferred by fall 2009. All fifty-eight (58) community colleges met the performance standard.

NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM
STRATEGIC PLAN, 2009-2011
EVALUATION OF PROGRESS
The Critical Success Factors report is the mechanism employed for assessing the progress of the System in achieving measurable objectives identified in the System's strategic plan. Factors two through five provide measures that monitor the success of the System in meeting its target levels of success.
Most of the data presented in this section of the report are System level data, and where appropriate, college level data are presented for information. These data are to determine the degree to which the System has met its target levels.
The factors that comprise this section of the report are:
Factor II: Workforce Development
Factor III: Diverse Populations' Learning Needs
Factor IV: Resources
Factor V: Technology
39
CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR II: WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
Supporting North Carolina's economic development has been an important part of the mission of the Community College System since its beginning. The System is a major tool for providing the state's citizens with the education and skills they need to be productive in the workforce. The System's institutions have traditionally worked closely with the businesses in their areas to insure that the programs offered by the colleges prepare citizens to take the jobs that are available. They have also provided citizens with the skills to be self-employed. North Carolina originated customized training programs for new industries that agreed to come into the state, and its approach has been copied widely. This program remains a strong part of the state's economic development arsenal, along with other categorically funded programs for existing industries and small businesses. Along with these specialized programs, the System's ability to stay current with the job market protects the state from skill shortages and protects its citizens from finding their skills outdated by changing technology and market forces. Measures of the success of the System in staying on the cutting edge are difficult to determine, but important. The State Board of Community Colleges has placed renewed emphasis on the role of North Carolina community colleges for workforce development in recent years. The 1999-2001 Strategic Plan established a new mission statement for the System and a new set of System goals have been adopted by the State Board of Community Colleges which emphasize education, training and retraining for the workforce, including basic skills/literacy, occupational and pre-baccalaureate programs. The measures that have been identified for the success of the System in its economic development role are: A. Percentage of Businesses and Industry Satisfied With NCCCS Training Programs B. Percentage of College Tech Prep Students Enrolling in a Community College C. Number of Employers and Trainees Served by Customized Training for Job Growth
(formerly NEIT), Customized Training for Technology Investment (formerly CIT), Small Business Center Network, and Customized Training for Productivity Enhancement (FIT)
D. Employment Status of Graduates E. Employer Satisfaction with Graduates

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MEASURE A:
Percentage of Businesses and Industries Satisfied With NCCCS Training Programs
Description/Definition—The percentage of businesses/industries who have received specialized training programs and services through Customized Training for Job Growth (formerly NEIT), Customized Training for Technology Investment (formerly CIT), Customized Training for Productivity Enhancement (formerly FIT), and the Small Business Centers indicating that their expectations have been met. This measure is intended primarily to determine the satisfaction of organizations that received specialized services from a community college.
Methodology and Data Source—A survey of businesses/industries receiving services from the Customized Training for Job Growth, Customized Training for Technology Investment, Customized Training for Productivity Enhancement, and the Small Business Centers was administered by the colleges to determine the degree to which the customized training meet their needs. The data were submitted annually to the System Office at the end of the fiscal year.
Performance Target— A performance target for this measure has not been established. As the data are collected and analyzed, a target will be determined.
Results— In 2008-2009, 671 companies and 19,861 trainees were served by the Customized Training Program. Average ratings of company’s expectation met, training impact, and training effectiveness were 4.58, 4.56, and 4.54 respectively, when 5 being excellent, no improvement necessary and 1 being unacceptable, needs generally not satisfied.
An analysis for the total response of 42,204 on satisfaction with services provided by the Small Business Center Network (SBCN) indicated that services provided were excellent. Ninety-nine percent (99%) of the respondents rated the services as “Good, Very Good,” or “Excellent.”

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MEASURE B:
Percentage of College Tech Prep Students Enrolling in a Community College
Description/Definition—Percentage of high school graduates who are in a College Tech Prep program in high school and enroll the following year in a community college. This measure is dependent on the ability of the high schools to identify graduates of a College Tech Prep course of study.
Methodology and Data Source— The data on the number of high school graduates who complete the College Tech Prep requirements will be gathered from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. The number and percentage of those students who enroll in a community college the year following graduation is determined from the curriculum registration files submitted by the colleges to the System Office.
Performance Target—Performance target for this measure has not been established. As the data are accurately collected and analyzed, a target level will be determined.
Results— In 2008-2009, 30 percent of the 2008 high school graduates who enrolled in a community college had successfully completed the requirements of the College Tech Prep course of study, which was the same as previous year’s figure. The ABCs of public education, as specified in the high school accountability model, require year-to-year comparison of percentages of students completing the college tech prep course of study.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MEASURE C:
Number of Employers and Trainees Served by Small Business Centers, and Customized Training Program
Description/Definition—Number of employers and individuals served by categorical programs created specifically to address employers’ needs. This measure is designed to provide information on specific activities of community colleges that promote the economic development of the state.
Methodology and Data Source—Information on the number of trainees, projects, businesses, and individuals served through the categorical programs are collected annually by the Technology and Workforce Development Division of the North Carolina Community College System Office.
Performance Target— The programs were designed to provide specialized services and were not intended to be "numbers driven." Fluctuations in numbers from year to year reflect various factors such as funding availability, scope of the projects, and local demand.
Results—In 2008-09, Customized Training for Job Growth (formerly NEIT), Customized Training for Technology Investment (formerly CIT), and Customized Training for Productivity Enhancement (formerly FIT) were consolidated to Customized Training Program. The number of trainees served by the program increased by 16.2%, and number of companies served by the program was 671 thanks to the consolidation.
For Small Business Center Network, number of seminar participants slightly increased by 1.4 percent, and number of counsels increased by 26.3 percent in 2008-09. However, the number of continuing education and curriculum course participants decreased by 7.4 percent during the same period of time.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MEASURE D: Employment Status of Graduates
Description/Definition— Proportion of identified community college completers who are employed within one year of last attendance.
Methodology and Data Sources—The North Carolina Common Follow-up System (CFS) tracks students’ employment status after they leave the colleges. The Common Follow-up System (CFS) is a cooperative venture of participating state agencies under the auspices of the North Carolina State Occupational Information Coordinating Committee (NC SOICC). The CFS provides a highly efficient and cost effective method for collecting follow-up information for education, employment, and training program participants statewide. The CFS is maintained by the Employment Security Commission (ESC).
Each year the agencies involved in the CFS submit unit record data on participants to the ESC. Among the agencies included in this process are the public high schools, community colleges, and the four-year public universities. Each agency's data are matched against the Unemployment Insurance (UI) files and the other participating agencies' files. A database containing information on employment, employer, quarterly wages, receipt of unemployment benefits, and participation in other agencies' programs is returned to each submitting agency. The database each agency receives is limited to the participants that the agency submits for the data match. This is to say, the database received by community colleges has information only on community college students.
Once the CFS database is received, it is matched against the CRPFAR (Curriculum Registration, Progress, and Financial Aid Report) database and the following year curriculum student registration data. This matching is conducted to determine demographic characteristics of the participants, such as students' completion status at the end of the academic year and whether they re-enroll the following year. Students who obtain an associate degree, certificate, or diploma in the year given and do not re-enroll in any of the colleges the following year are defined as "exit completers."
Students who have wages in any quarter during the year are considered employed. Those who are found both in registration records and UI records but have no quarterly wages during the year and have applied for unemployment insurance benefits or job services of the Employment Security Council are considered unemployed. Individuals who are not found in the UI records are omitted from the analysis. This would include individuals who are working out-of-state, who are enrolled in a four-year college or university and not working, who never entered the labor market, etc.
Performance Standard— The standard is 95 percent of completers are to be employed.
49
Results—Data on 17,046 graduates of the 2007-08 academic year were collected. System average employment rate was 99.22 percent. All 58 community colleges met the standard.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR III: DIVERSE POPULATIONS’ LEARNING NEEDS
At the core of the Community College System's mission is its open door policy. Community colleges, in the words of founding father Dallas Herring, "take people from where they are to where they want to be." The special mission of the community colleges is to serve those who did not have opportunities to learn or who missed out on those opportunities, and to serve people who have special problems to overcome. Thus, there is an emphasis on reaching out to the under-served: dropouts, handicapped, economically or educationally disadvantaged and other groups who are not traditionally included in higher education.
There are many issues facing community colleges today, but perhaps none strike at the core of our mission as hard as does the reality of limited resources in this time of economic uncertainty. How long can the "open door" remain open when personnel, services, and facilities are strained to their limits? As the demands on community colleges continue to rise without a corresponding increase in resources, the "open door" that is the path to opportunity for so many closes just a bit more.
The state needs to raise the productivity of its citizens, and these are times in which people have a harder time being self-sufficient and raising families unless they have an education. Providing access to education, a constitutional duty of the state, is increasingly important to individuals and society. A successful community college system will reach out to under-served groups.
The measures identified as indicators of the System's success in meeting the learning needs of diverse populations are:
A. Number and Percentage of Dropouts Annually Served by Basic Skills Programs
B. Number of GEDs and AHSDs Awarded Compared to the Number of Dropouts Statewide
C. Percentage of Basic Skills Students and Recent High School Graduates Enrolling in aCommunity College
D. Unduplicated Headcount in English as a Second Language (ESL)
E. Number of Under-Represented Students Enrolled Per Category
F. Percentage of Students Receiving Financial Aid and Amount of Aid Compared With Costof Attendance
G. Percentage of Population of Service Area Enrolled
H. Goal Completion for Completers

DIVERSE POPULATIONS LEARNING NEEDS MEASURE A:
Number and Percentage of Dropouts Annually Served by Basic Skills Programs
Description/Definition—The number and percentage of high school dropouts who enroll in a basic skills program at a community college. Basic skills programs include Adult Basic Education, Adult High School, General Educational Development (GED), Compensatory Education, and English as a Second Language.
Methodology and Data Source—Data on last year of high school attendance and number of years of high school completed are gathered at the time a student registers for classes. The last year of high school attendance data is matched against initial enrollment year to determine the number of students who enroll in a community college basic skills program within one year of dropping out of high school.
Performance Target—No performance target level has been established for this measure.
Results—In 2008-2009, community colleges enrolled 16,403 high school dropouts who dropped out of school during 2008-2009, which was a 4.8 percent increase in enrollment for the academic year 2008-2009. This "safety net" feature continues to be an important role played by community colleges.

DIVERSE POPULATIONS LEARNING NEEDS MEASURE C:
Number of Basic Skills Students and Recent High School Graduates Enrolling in a Community College
Description/Definition—Number and percentage increase of basic skills students and recent high school graduates who enroll in a community college. The measure is designed to determine the number and percentage that move directly from basic skills programs into a community college curriculum or occupational extension program, as well as the number and percentage of high school students who directly go to a curriculum program in a community college. The tracking of basic skills students into curriculum or occupational extension is important for determining the success of community colleges in encouraging students to get the necessary skills for today's marketplace.
Methodology and Data Source—The number of recent high school graduates enrolling in a community college is reported annually by the Information Services Section of the North Carolina Community College System Office. The number of basic skills students enrolling in a curriculum or occupational extension course are determined by tracking basic skills students from one year to the next utilizing the registration files submitted by the colleges. This analysis is done by the Research and Performance Management section in the President’s Office, North Carolina Community College System Office.
Performance Target—By 2001, increase the percentage of each target group that enroll in a community college by 10 percent.
Results—Number of basic skills students enrolling in curriculum or occupational extension courses increased by 6.3 percent, from 11,260 in 2007-08 to 11,969 in 2008-09. The enrollment of the 2007-08 high school graduates in community colleges in the academic year of 2008-09 (32,423) represented a 9.5 percent increase from the previous year’s enrollment.

DIVERSE POPULATIONS LEARNING NEEDS MEASURE E:
Number of Under-Represented Students Enrolled Per Category
Definition/Description— This measure is intended to examine the enrollment of under-represented students in community college programs. Methodology and Data Source—Source of the data for this measure is the Curriculum, Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) files maintained by the System Office. For 2008-09, percentage of each ethnicity group in the total North Carolina population was analyzed based on American Community Survey (Table, B02001), American Fact Finder (U.S. Census Bureau) and 2006-2008 American Community Survey 3-Year Estimates: Data Profile Highlights. Performance Target— Identify populations under-represented in community college programs and increase their enrollment by 10 percent. Results— In 2008-2009, Hispanic/Latino ethnicity group was consistently under-represented in the Curriculum programs as well as Occupational Extension programs, except in the Basic Skills programs, where Hispanics were disproportionately over-represented (23.1%). Asian/Pacific Islander was also over-represented in the Basic Skills program. African-Americans were over-represented in the Basic Skills and HRD programs, while Whites were under-represented in the both programs. Overall pattern of ethnic representation in each category was by and large the same as last year’s.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR IV: RESOURCES
For any institution, educational or industrial, there is a critical mass of resources necessary for the organization to perform at an optimal level. When resources fall below this critical mass level, or when increased demand outstrips available resources, performance declines and quality suffers. The level of resources can be thought of as an indicator of the health of an organization.
An examination of the colleges' resources will indicate the capability of the institutions in providing quality educational programs. Whereas resources alone do not guarantee that a quality education will be delivered, without appropriate resources, a college cannot provide students with an adequate learning experience.
The measures selected as indicators of the health of the System and the colleges as determined by resources are:
A. Percentage of College Libraries Meeting ALA Standards
B. Total Dollar Amount of Budget Transfers Between Program Areas Made by CommunityColleges
C. Average Nine-Month Faculty Salaries as a Percentage of the SREB Average
D. Retention Rate for Full-Time Faculty With Less Than Five Years of Experience
E. Number of Faculty and Staff Participating in Professional Development Activities
F. Percentage of Facilities Meeting the "Satisfactory" Building Condition
G. Ratio of Occupational Extension FTE Dollar Allotment to Curriculum FTE DollarAllotment
70
RESOURCES MEASURE A: Percentage of College Libraries Meeting the ALA Standards
Description/Definition— The percentage of colleges meeting the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) standards for community, junior and technical colleges. Specifically, this measure looks at percentage meeting the standards for number of book titles, serial subscriptions, expenditure minus salaries per FTE, library staff, and square footage.
Methodology and Data Source—Library data have been collected by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in odd numbered year. The data were published in the Statistical Abstract of Higher Education in North Carolina, an annual publication of the UNC-General Administration. Data available from this publication were then compared with the standards set by the ACRL to determine which colleges meet the standards. It should be noted that the ACRL standards vary based on FTE of the college.
Performance Target—No performance target level has been set for this measure.
Results— Library data for 2008-09 were not available at the time of 2010 CSF publication. However, historical data showed that most colleges didn’t meet the measures and a handful of colleges met only minimum level of ACRL standard in the past. This raises serious concerns about under-funding of the community college libraries in North Carolina, and its conditions.

RESOURCES MEASURE B: Total Dollar Amount of Budget Transfers Between Program Areas Made by Community Colleges
Description/Definition—Purpose of this measure is to serve as an indicator of the effectiveness of the resource allocation model being used by the North Carolina Community College System. The measure is simply the total dollar amount of budget transfers across program areas made by the community colleges.
Methodology and Data Source—Source of the data were the budget accounting records maintained by the Business and Finance Division of the North Carolina Community College System Office. The total dollar amount transferred was calculated by the Business and Finance Division by comparing the initial allocation of funds with final expenditures.
Performance Target—No performance target was set for this measure.
Results—In 2008-09, a total of $3,122,911 were transferred into instructional funds. This transfer figure reflects an amount equal to 0.5 percent of the total curriculum and continuing education instructional salaries and fringe benefits that transferred from other programs.

RESOURCES MEASURE C: Average Nine-Month Faculty Salary as a Percentage of the SREB Average
Description/Definition— The nine-month average faculty salary for full-time curriculum faculty compared with the nine-month average faculty salary for full-time curriculum faculty at public, two-year institutions in the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) states. To allow comparisons across states, a nine-month salary figure is calculated for full-time curriculum faculty based on a computed nine-month salary.
Methodology and Data Source—Source of the North Carolina community college faculty salaries was the fall staff data file submitted annually by each college. Total monthly salary for each full-time curriculum faculty was selected from the college data files. A nine-month salary for each full-time faculty was then calculated by multiplying the total monthly salary by 9. An average nine-month salary was then calculated for the college and the System. The SREB nine-month average salary was obtained from an annual publication titled SREB (Southern Regional Education Board) Data Exchange. The average nine-month faculty salary was presented by state and an overall SREB average was calculated and presented.
This measure also presents data on the ranking of North Carolina among the 16 SREB states in faculty salaries and calculates the percentage of North Carolina faculty salaries as a function of the SREB average nine-month faculty salary.
Performance Target—By 2001, increase the average nine-month salaries of full-time curriculum faculty and staff to 83.3 percent of the SREB average.
Results—In 2008-09, the average nine-month salary of full-time curriculum faculty was $47,594 as compared to the SREB average of $51,452. It was 92.5 percent of the SREB average. The performance target of 83.3 percent of SREB average was achieved, and the SREB rank improved to be 11th in 2008-09.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR V: TECHNOLOGY
The application of technology to education represents a critical factor in the success of community colleges meeting the education and training needs of the citizens of North Carolina. Whether it is to meet the demands of employers for workers with the latest high-tech skills or to meet the growing demand for education and training from people throughout the state, the community colleges must continue to integrate technology into the way programs are delivered and upgrade faculty on the uses of the new technology.
In order to meet the challenges of the technological challenges of the future, the community college system must focus on three areas. First, the technological infrastructure that supports the delivery of instruction must be fully developed. Second, faculty must be trained in the use of the new technologies. Third, courses and programs that can be delivered by way of these new technologies must be developed and made available.
The measures comprising the critical success factor of technology are:
A. Curriculum Unduplicated Headcount by Course Method of Instruction
B. Number of Colleges Connected to the North Carolina Information Highway
C. Number of Colleges Possessing the FCC License for Wireless Cable Systems
D. Number of Courses and Programs Offered via Tele-course, Wireless Cable Systems, theInternet, Two-Way Video, etc.
E. Number of Courses Offered Through the NC Virtual Learning Community

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS FOR THE
NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM
Twentieth Annual Report
INTRODUCTION
First mandated by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1989 (S.L. 1989; C. 752; S. 80),
the Critical Success Factors report has evolved into the major accountability document for
the North Carolina Community College System. This twentieth annual report on the critical
success factors is the result of a process undertaken to streamline and simplify accountability
reporting by the community college system. The purpose of this report is twofold. First, this
document is the means by which the community college system reports on performance
measures, referred to as core indicators of success, for purposes of accountability and
performance funding. Second, this document serves as an evaluation instrument for the
System Strategic Plan.
Core Indicators of 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.
System Strategic Plan
Under the leadership of former President H. Martin Lancaster, the North Carolina
Community College System embarked on a strategic planning process in January 1998. The
purpose of the process was to develop a strategic plan that would focus the efforts of the
system on a set of strategic initiatives. The strategic plan is the vehicle that sets the strategic
direction for the System and guides the development of the biennial budget requests.
The purpose of factors two through five of the Critical Success Factors is to monitor the
progress of the system in achieving the objectives in the strategic plan and to report those
achievements. The measures that comprise these factors are the evaluation of the strategic
2
plan objectives. Unlike the measures comprising factor one, the measures included in factors
two through five will change more frequently as new strategic plan objectives are developed.
In addition, the measures in factors two through five are meant to be System measures, rather
than individual college measures. When available, individual college data will be presented,
but the intended focus of these measures is the success of the System in achieving some
predefined level of achievement.
A matrix showing the factors and measures contained in the Critical Success Factors can be
found on page 3.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR I: CORE INDICATORS OF STUDENT SUCCESS
In 1993, the State Board of Community Colleges began monitoring performance data on
specific measures identified in the Critical Success Factors report and in the Annual Program
Review report. Standards of performance were established for measures that were identified
as being critical to ensure public accountability for programs and services.
In 1998, the North Carolina General Assembly directed the State Board of Community
Colleges to undertake a review of all performance measures and standards with the intent of
ensuring stronger public accountability. Concurrently, the General Assembly directed the
State Board of Community Colleges to develop a plan for the implementation of performance
funding.
As a result of efforts undertaken by the community college system, a set of 12 performance
measures of accountability was adopted in February 1999. Recognizing the importance of
these measures in the System’s public accountability efforts, the System Planning Council
decided to designate the 12 measures as the core indicators of student success and include
them as the first factor of the Critical Success Factors report. In the 2007 Session, the North
Carolina General Assembly approved modifications to the North Carolina Community
College Performance Measures as adopted by the State Board of Community Colleges on
March 16, 2007. As a result, the number of performance measures was reduced to eight (8).
System summary data on each measure are presented in the report along with individual
college’s performance data. A table is presented at the end of the text section that
summarizes, by measure, whether or not colleges met the performance standard. Any college
not meeting a standard is required to submit to the State Board of Community Colleges an
action plan for improving performance.
The Core Indicators of Student Success are:
A. Progress of Basic Skills Students
B. Passing Rates on Licensure and Certification Examinations
C. Performance of College Transfer Students
D. Passing Rates of Students in Developmental Courses
E. Success Rates of Developmental Students in Subsequent College-Level Courses
F. Satisfaction of Program Completers and Non-Completers
G. Curriculum Student Retention, Graduation, and Transfer
H. Client Satisfaction with Customized Training

CORE INDICATORS OF
SUCCESS MEASURE A:
Progress of Basic Skills Students
Description/Definition—Basic skills students include all adult literacy students. Progress of
basic skills students is a composite measure that includes the percent of students progressing
within a level of literacy, the percent of students completing a level entered or a
predetermined goal, and the percent of students completing the level entered and advancing
to a higher level.
Methodology and Data Source—Data on basic skills students are collected by the college
providing the instruction and entered into the Literacy Education Information System (LEIS).
Data on the progression of basic skills students are submitted to the North Carolina
Community College System Office annually. The data are compiled at the system office, and
the composite measure and adjustment for each college were calculated.
Performance Standard—Standard for the progress of basic skills students is 75 percent for
the composite measure. This measure is a required performance funding measure.
Results: For the year 2007-08, 56 community colleges met the required standard. The
average composite measure for the system was 82 percent. The range in the composite
progress measure was from a low of 71 percent to a high of 95 percent.

CORE INDICATORS OF
SUCCESS MEASURE B: Passing Rates on Licensure & Certification
Examinations
Description/Definition—The percentage of first-time test takers from community colleges
passing an examination required for North Carolina licensure or certification prior to
practicing the profession. A licensure requirement for an occupation is one that is required
by state statute for an individual to work in that occupation. Certification is generally
voluntary but may be required by employers or an outside accrediting agency. Purely
voluntary examinations are not reported.
Methodology and Data Source—Data are collected by the Research and Performance
Management section in the President’s Office of the North Carolina Community College
System Office from the agencies issuing the license or certification. Examination data are
reported only for those licensure/certification exams for which data are available from the
licensure/certification agencies. The data for most examinations are reported on a fiscal year.
However, the data on nursing, emergency medical technician, physical therapy assistant, and
veterinary medicine technology are reported on a calendar year.
Passing rates are calculated by dividing the number of persons who successfully pass an
examination the first time they take the exam by the number of persons who sat for the exam
for the first time. An aggregate institutional passing rate is calculated by dividing the total
number of first-time test takers for all reported examinations by the total number of persons
who sat for the exam for the first time. For privacy and statistical validity, no examination
data are reported when the number of first-time test takers was fewer than 10.
Performance Standard— Performance standard for the aggregate institutional passing rate is
80 percent. To be rated EIP (Exceptional Institutional Performance), a college must meet the
80 percent standard and cannot have any licensure/certification exams for which the college
controls who was eligible to sit for the exam with a passing rate less than 70%.
Results— For the year 2007-08, 45 community colleges met or exceeded the aggregate
institutional passing rate of 80 percent; 28 community colleges achieved the EIP level of
performance. The System average of aggregate institutional passing rate was 86 percent.

CORE INDICATORS OF
SUCCESS MEASURE C:
Performance of College Transfer Students
Description/Definition—College transfer programs provide educational experiences that will
enable transfer students to make the transition to a baccalaureate program and perform as
well as the students who enroll as first-time freshmen at universities. The purpose of this
measure is to compare the performance of community college associate degree students
(Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate in Fine Arts) who transfer to public
North Carolina universities with students native to the four-year institutions.
Methodology and Data Source—Data on two cohorts of college transfer students entering
the public universities each year are analyzed. One cohort analysis compares the
performance of college transfer degree recipients (AA, AS, AFA) at the end of two semesters
at the public university to the performance of native juniors. The second cohort analysis
compares the performance of college transfer students completing at least 24 hours or more
of college transfer courses at a community college but not completing the degree to the
performance of native sophomores. A cell size of at least 10 students is required for
reporting this measure.
Community colleges may elect to work with private colleges and universities in collecting
data on students who transfer to those institutions. The data must be consistent with the
methodology employed by the UNC- General Administration in calculating the data for
transfer to public universities. If colleges submit data from private or out-of-state
institutions, then the System Office includes the data with the public university data. When
the total number of students is less than 10, the total number of students in previous three
years and the respective percentage are reported.
Performance Standard— 83% of students in both associate degree recipients and the
students who transferred with 24 or more semester hours at community colleges had a GPA
equal to or greater than 2.0 after two semesters at a university. To be identified as EIP
(Exceptional Institutional Performance), performance of community college transfer students
has to be equivalent to the performance of native UNC sophomores and juniors: 87% for this
year.
Results— For students who completed an AA, AS or AFA degree in 2006-07 and transferred
to a UNC institution or a private institution within a year, 91 percent had a GPA equal to or
greater than 2.0 after two semesters at a university. For those students who completed 24 or
more semester hours in community colleges and transferred to a UNC institution or a private
institution, 86 percent had a GPA equal to or greater than 2.0 after two semesters at a
university. When the data for both groups were combined, 88 percent of the transfers had a
GPA equal to or greater than 2.0 after two semesters at a UNC institution or a private
institution. Forty-four (44) community colleges met the 83 percent performance standard; 30
community colleges met the EIP level of performance.

CORE INDICATORS OF
SUCCESS MEASURE D:
Passing Rates of Students in Developmental Courses
Description/Definition — Percent of students who complete developmental English,
mathematics, or reading courses with a grade of "C" or better.
Methodology and Data Source — At the end of each semester, colleges submit a Curriculum
Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file to the North Carolina
Community College System Office. These student unit record files are loaded into the
System data warehouse and are the official data of record for state level reporting. In the
CRPFAR file, the number and percent of students completing developmental courses with a
grade of "C" or better is calculated.
Performance Standard—Seventy-five percent (75%) of students who complete a
developmental course in English, reading or mathematics will have a grade of "C" or better
for that course.
Results—Seventy-seven percent (77%) of the students who completed a developmental
course(s) had a grade of “C” or better in 2007-08. Forty-eight (48) colleges met the
performance standard.

CORE INDICATORS OF
SUCCESS MEASURE E: Success Rate of Developmental Students in Subsequent
College-Level Courses
Description/Definition—Performance of developmental students in subsequent college level
courses will be measured. Specifically, performance of who took developmental English
courses and subsequently took college-level English courses was assessed. Likewise, the
performance of who took developmental math courses and then took college-level math
courses was tracked.
The purpose of this measure is to provide evidence that developmental courses equip
students with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in their college studies. Once
students have successfully completed the developmental courses, they should be able to pass
curriculum courses.
Methodology and Data Source— At the end of each semester, colleges submit a Curriculum
Registration, Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file to the North Carolina
Community College System Office. These student unit record files are loaded into the
System data warehouse and are the official data of record for state level reporting. Using the
CRPFA data file, students who took developmental level English, reading, and math course
are identified. These students’ records are then matched with subsequent performance in
college-level English and math courses.
Performance Standard— Eighty percent (80%) of students who completed a developmental
course in 2006-07 and completed subsequent college level course in 2007-08 will have a
passing grade for the college level course.
Results— In 2007-08, eighty-nine percent (89%) of the students who completed a
developmental English and/or math course(s) had a grade of “D” or better in subsequent
college-level English and/or math courses. Fifty-seven (57) colleges met the standard in
2007-08.

CORE INDICATORS OF
SUCCESS MEASURE F: Satisfaction of Program Completers and Non-
Completers
Description/Definition—This indicator reports the proportion of graduates and early-leavers
who indicate that the quality of the college programs and services meet or exceed their
expectations.
Methodology and Data Source—Data are collected by a college administered survey, with
each college using a standard set of questions. For colleges with fewer than 250 non-
returning students, a minimum of 25 valid surveys must be obtained from non-returning
students. For the colleges with more than 250 non-returning students, a response rate equal to
10% of the total non-returning students or a statistically valid sample size must be obtained.
For graduates, a 50 percent response rate or a statistically valid sample size must be obtained.
Performance Standard—Ninety percent (90%) of the combined respondents will report to
be satisfied with the quality of the college's programs and services.
Results—Ninety-seven percent (97%) of program completers responded that they were
satisfied with the academic programs of community colleges, while ninety-five percent
(95%) of program non-completers responded that they were satisfied. The total percentage
of satisfied (completers and non-completers combined) was ninety-six percent (96%). Fifty-
six (56) community colleges met the performance standard in 2007-08.

CORE INDICATORS OF
SUCCESS MEASURE G: Curriculum Student Retention, Graduation, and
Transfer
Description/Definition—This composite indicator consists of
1. Number of individuals completing a curriculum program with a certificate,
diploma, or associate degree;
2. Number of individuals who have not completed a program but who are continuing
enrollments in either curriculum or occupational extension programs;
3. Number of individuals who transferred to a university or another community
college.
This composite indicator will consist of the above three measures, each reported separately
for each college. Sum of the three will be divided by the total number of curriculum students
in the cohort to compute an indicator of curriculum student progress and success.
Methodology and Data Source: Cohorts are defined each fall based upon the number of
students enrolled in award granting curriculum programs (associate degree, certificate, and
diploma). At the end of each semester, colleges submit a Curriculum Registration, Progress,
Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) data file to the North Carolina Community College System
Office. These student unit record files are loaded into the System data warehouse and are the
official data of record for state level reporting. The cohort is tracked from fall to fall using
data from the data warehouse to determine those who have graduated and those who have
continued to be enrolled. Transfer rates are determined by matching the students who do not
graduate and who do not re-enroll with data at the National Student Clearinghouse. A
composite success measure is calculated by adding the number of graduates, returning
students and transfers and then dividing that sum by the number of students in the original
cohort.
Performance Standard—Performance standard for this measure is 65 percent of the fall
cohort will have completed their program, still be enrolled the following fall at the
community college, or transferred to another community college or university.
Results—Sixty-nine percent (69%) of the fall 2007 cohort had graduated, returned to enroll,
or transferred by fall 2008. Fifty-seven (57) community colleges met the performance
standard.

NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM
STRATEGIC PLAN, 2007-2009
EVALUATION OF PROGRESS
The Critical Success Factors report is the mechanism employed for assessing the progress
of the System in achieving measurable objectives identified in the System's strategic plan.
Factors two through five provide measures that monitor the success of the System in
meeting its target levels of success.
Most of the data presented in this section of the report are System level data, and where
appropriate, college level data are presented for information. These data are to determine
the degree to which the System has met its target levels.
The factors that comprise this section of the report are:
Factor II: Workforce Development
Factor III: Diverse Populations' Learning Needs
Factor IV: Resources
Factor V: Technology
39
CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR II: WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
Supporting North Carolina's economic development has been an important part of the
mission of the Community College System since its beginning. The System is a major
tool for providing the state's citizens with the education and skills they need to be
productive in the workforce. The System's institutions have traditionally worked closely
with the businesses in their areas to insure that the programs offered by the colleges
prepare citizens to take the jobs that are available. They have also provided citizens with
the skills to be self-employed.
North Carolina originated customized training programs for new industries that agreed to
come into the state, and its approach has been copied widely. This program remains a
strong part of the state's economic development arsenal, along with other categorically
funded programs for existing industries and small businesses.
Along with these specialized programs, the System's ability to stay current with the job
market protects the state from skill shortages and protects its citizens from finding their
skills outdated by changing technology and market forces. Measures of the success of
the System in staying on the cutting edge are difficult to determine, but important.
The State Board of Community Colleges has placed renewed emphasis on the role of
North Carolina community colleges for workforce development. The 1999-2001
Strategic Plan established a new mission statement for the System and a new set of
System goals have been adopted by the State Board of Community Colleges which
emphasize education, training and retraining for the workforce, including basic
skills/literacy, occupational and pre-baccalaureate programs.
The measures that have been identified for the success of the System in its economic
development role are:
A. Percentage of Businesses and Industry Satisfied With NCCCS Training Programs
B. Percentage of College Tech Prep Students Enrolling in a Community College
C. Number of Employers and Trainees Served by Small Business Centers and
Customized Training Programs (NEIT, FIT, and CIT)
D. Employment Status of Graduates
E. Employer Satisfaction with Graduates
40
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
MEASURE A:
Percentage of Businesses and Industries
Satisfied With NCCCS Training Programs
Description/Definition—The percentage of businesses/industries who have received
specialized training programs and services through Customized Training for Job Growth
(formerly NEIT), Customized Training for Technology Investment (formerly CIT),
Customized Training for Productivity Enhancement (formerly FIT), and the Small
Business Centers indicating that their expectations have been met. This measure is
intended primarily to determine the satisfaction of organizations that received specialized
services from a community college.
Methodology and Data Source—A survey of businesses/industries receiving services
from the Customized Training for Job Growth, Customized Training for Technology
Investment, Customized Training for Productivity Enhancement, and the Small Business
Centers is administered by the colleges to determine the degree to which the customized
training meets their needs. The data are submitted annually to the System Office at the
end of the fiscal year.
Performance Target— A performance target for this measure has not been established.
As the data are collected and analyzed, a target will be determined.
Results— In 2007-2008, the average ratings of 77 respondents from Customized Training
for Job Growth program (formerly NEIT) on “Company’s Expectations Met”, “Training
Impact”, and “Training Effectiveness” exceeded the “Very Good” level with average
ratings of 4.60, 4.61 and, 4.61, respectively on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = Unacceptable,
company’s need not satisfied; 5 = Excellent, no improvement necessary, exceeds highest
expectations).
The average ratings of 18 respondents from Customized Training for Technology
Investment (formerly CIT) were 4.61, 4.56, and 4.39, respectively for the same
questionnaire items and on the same scales as in the Customized Training for Job Growth
program.
Customized Training for Productivity Enhancement (formerly FIT) program provided
training to 465 industries. Satisfaction with services provided averaged 4.5 on a scale of
1 to 5. The data indicated that the companies’ needs were met at a highly acceptable
level.
An analysis for the total response of 41,753 on satisfaction with services provided by the
Small Business Center Network (SBCN) indicated that services provided were excellent.
Ninety-nine percent (99%) of the respondents rated the services as “Very Good” or
“Excellent.”

MEASURE B:
Percentage of College Tech Prep Students
Enrolling in a Community College
Description/Definition—Percentage of high school graduates who are in a College Tech
Prep program in high school and enroll the following year in a community college. This
measure is dependent on the ability of the high schools to identify graduates of a College
Tech Prep course of study.
Methodology and Data Source— The data on the number of high school graduates who
complete the College Tech Prep requirements are gathered from the North Carolina
Department of Public Instruction. The number and percentage of those students who
enroll in a community college the year following graduation is determined from the
curriculum registration files submitted by the colleges to the System Office.
Performance Target—Performance target for this measure has not been established. As
the data are accurately collected and analyzed, a target level will be determined.
Results— In 2007-2008, 30 percent of the 2007 high school graduates who enrolled in a
community college had successfully completed the requirements of the College Tech
Prep course of study, which was a 0.06 percent decrease over previous year’s figure. The
ABCs of public education, as specified in the high school accountability model, require
year-to-year comparison of percentages of students completing the college tech prep
course of study.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
MEASURE C:
Number of Employers and Trainees Served by
Small Business Centers and Customized
Training Programs (NEIT, FIT, and CIT)
Description/Definition—Number of employers and individuals served by categorical
programs created specifically to address employers’ needs. This measure is designed to
provide information on specific activities of community colleges that promote the
economic development of the state.
Methodology and Data Source—Information on the number of trainees, projects,
businesses, and individuals served through the categorical programs are collected
annually by the Technology and Workforce Development Division of the North Carolina
Community College System Office.
Performance Target— The programs were designed to provide specialized services and
were not intended to be "numbers driven." Fluctuations in numbers from year to year
reflect various factors such as funding availability, scope of the projects, and local
demand.
Results—In 2007-08, number of trainees in Customized Training for Job Growth
(formerly NEIT) decreased by 11.8 percent over last year’s figure, while the number of
trainees in Customized Training for Technology Investment (formerly CIT) increased by
19.6 percent during the same period of time. Number of trainees in Customized Training
for Productivity Enhancement (formerly FIT) significantly decreased by 42.5 percent in
the fiscal year of 2007-08.
For Small Business Center Network, number of seminar participants slightly decreased
by 0.7 percent in 2007-08. Number of counsels and number of continuing education and
curriculum course participants also decreased by 11 percent and 23.7 percent,
respectively. However, number of projects in Customized Training for Technology
Investment (formerly CIT) grew by 79 percent in 2007-08.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
MEASURE D:
Employment Status of Graduates
Description/Definition— Proportion of identified community college completers who are
employed within one year of last attendance.
Methodology and Data Sources—The North Carolina Common Follow-up System
(CFS) tracks students’ employment status after they leave the colleges. The Common
Follow-up System (CFS) is a cooperative venture of participating state agencies under the
auspices of the North Carolina State Occupational Information Coordinating Committee
(NC SOICC). The CFS provides a highly efficient and cost effective method for
collecting follow-up information for education, employment, and training program
participants statewide. The CFS is maintained by the Employment Security Commission
(ESC).
Each year the agencies involved in the CFS submit unit record data on participants to the
ESC. Among the agencies included in this process are the public high schools,
community colleges, and the four-year public universities. Each agency's data are
matched against the Unemployment Insurance (UI) files and the other participating
agencies' files. A database containing information on employment, employer, quarterly
wages, receipt of unemployment benefits, and participation in other agencies' programs is
returned to each submitting agency. The database each agency receives is limited to the
participants that the agency submits for the data match. This is to say, the database
received by community colleges has information only on community college students.
Once the CFS database is received, it is matched against the CRPFAR (Curriculum
Registration, Progress, and Financial Aid Report) database and the following year
curriculum student registration data. This matching is conducted to determine
demographic characteristics of the participants, such as students' completion status at the
end of the academic year and whether they re-enroll the following year. Students who
obtain an associate degree, certificate, or diploma in the year given and do not re-enroll in
any of the colleges the following year are defined as "exit completers."
Students who have wages in any quarter during the year are considered employed. Those
who are found both in registration records and UI records but have no quarterly wages
during the year and have applied for unemployment insurance benefits or job services of
the Employment Security Council are considered unemployed. Individuals who are not
found in the UI records are omitted from the analysis. This would include individuals
who are working out-of-state, who are enrolled in a four-year college or university and
not working, who never entered the labor market, etc.
Performance Target— The performance target is 95 percent of completers are to be
employed.
51
Results—Data on 18,021 graduates of the 2006-07 academic year were collected.
System average employment rate was 99.69 percent. All 58 community colleges met the
performance target.

MEASURE E:
Employer Satisfaction With Graduates
Description/Definition—Percentage of a sample of businesses who employ individuals
trained or educated by a community college indicating that they are satisfied with the
quality of those employees as it relates to the community college training and education.
This measure is intended primarily to determine the satisfaction of organizations whose
employees have been trained through a community college.
Methodology and Data Source — Data are collected through a college administered
survey, with each college using a standard set of questions. The results of the surveys are
submitted to the Research and Performance Management section of the System Office
annually
Performance Target — Eighty-five percent (85%) of employers surveyed will report
satisfaction with the skills of employees trained or educated by community colleges.
Results— In 2007-2008, 9,251 employers of community college graduates were
surveyed. A total of 2,405 surveys were completed and returned by employers, for a 26
percent response rate. Overall, 94 percent of those employers who responded to the
survey indicated that they were satisfied with the job preparation of community college
graduates. Fifty-seven (57) colleges met the performance target for this measure.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR III: DIVERSE POPULATIONS’ LEARNING NEEDS
At the core of the Community College System's mission is its open door policy. Community
colleges, in the words of founding father Dallas Herring, "take people from where they are to
where they want to be." The special mission of the community colleges is to serve those who
did not have opportunities to learn or who missed out on those opportunities, and to serve
people who have special problems to overcome. Thus, there is an emphasis on reaching out
to the under-served: dropouts, handicapped, economically or educationally disadvantaged
and other groups who are not traditionally included in higher education.
There are many issues facing community colleges today, but perhaps none strike at the core
of our mission as hard as does the reality of limited resources in this time of economic
uncertainty. How long can the "open door" remain open when personnel, services, and
facilities are strained to their limits? As the demands on community colleges continue to rise
without a corresponding increase in resources, the "open door" that is the path to opportunity
for so many closes just a bit more.
The state needs to raise the productivity of its citizens, and these are times in which people
have a harder time being self-sufficient and raising families unless they have an education.
Providing access to education, a constitutional duty of the state, is increasingly important to
individuals and society. A successful community college system will reach out to under-
served groups.
The measures identified as indicators of the System's success in meeting the learning needs
of diverse populations are:
A. Number and Percentage of Dropouts Annually Served by Basic Skills Programs
B. Number of GEDs and AHSDs Awarded Compared to the Number of Dropouts Statewide
C. Percentage of Basic Skills Students and Recent High School Graduates Enrolling in a
Community College
D. Unduplicated Headcount in English as a Second Language (ESL)
E. Number of Under-Represented Students Enrolled Per Category
F. Percentage of Students Receiving Financial Aid and Amount of Aid Compared With Cost
of Attendance
G. Percentage of Population of Service Area Enrolled
H. Goal Completion for Completers

DIVERSE POPULATIONS
LEARNING NEEDS
MEASURE A:
Number and Percentage of Dropouts Annually Served
by Basic Skills Programs
Description/Definition—The number and percentage of high school dropouts who enroll in a
basic skills program at a community college. Basic skills programs include Adult Basic
Education, Adult High School, General Educational Development (GED), Compensatory
Education, and English as a Second Language.
Methodology and Data Source—Data on last year of high school attendance and number of
years of high school completed are gathered at the time a student registers for classes. The
last year of high school attendance data is matched against initial enrollment year to
determine the number of students who enroll in a community college basic skills program
within one year of dropping out of high school.
Performance Target—No performance target level has been established for this measure.
Results—In 2007-2008, community colleges enrolled 15,652 high school dropouts who
dropped out of school during 2007-08, which was a 3.9 percent increase in enrollment for the
academic year 2007-08. This "safety net" feature continues to be an important role played by
community colleges.

MEASURE C:
Number of Basic Skills Students and Recent High
School Graduates Enrolling in a Community College
Description/Definition—Number and percentage increase of basic skills students and recent
high school graduates who enroll in a community college. The measure is designed to
determine the number and percentage that move directly from basic skills programs into a
community college curriculum or occupational extension program, as well as the number and
percentage of high school students who directly go to a curriculum program in a community
college. The tracking of basic skills students into curriculum or occupational extension is
important for determining the success of community colleges in encouraging students to get
the necessary skills for today's marketplace.
Methodology and Data Source—The number of recent high school graduates enrolling in a
community college is reported annually by the Information Services Section of the North
Carolina Community College System Office. The number of basic skills students enrolling
in a curriculum or occupational extension course are determined by tracking basic skills
students from one year to the next utilizing the registration files submitted by the colleges.
This analysis is done by the Research and Performance Management section in the
President’s Office, North Carolina Community College System Office.
Performance Target—By 2001, increase the percentage of each target group that enroll in a
community college by 10 percent.
Results—Number of basic skills students enrolling in curriculum or occupational extension
courses decreased by 2.5 percent, from 11,549 in 2006-07 to 11,260 in 2007-08. The
enrollment of the 2006-07 high school graduates in community colleges in the academic year
of 2007-08 (29,603) represented a 14.7 percent increase from the previous year’s enrollment.

Number of Under-Represented Students Enrolled Per
Category
Definition/Description— This measure is intended to examine the enrollment of under-represented
students in community college programs.
Methodology and Data Source—Source of the data for this measure is the Curriculum, Registration,
Progress, Financial Aid Report (CRPFAR) files maintained by the System Office. For 2007-08,
percentage of each ethnicity group in the total North Carolina population was analyzed based on 2007
American Community Survey (Table, B02001), American Fact Finder (U.S. Census Bureau) and
2005-2007 American Community Survey 3-Year Estimates: Data Profile Highlights.
Performance Target— Identify populations under-represented in community college programs and
increase their enrollment by 10 percent.
Results— In 2007-2008, Hispanic/Latino ethnicity group was consistently under-represented in the
Curriculum programs as well as Occupational Extension, except in the Basic Skills programs, where
Hispanics were disproportionately over-represented (20.7%). Asian/Pacific Islander was also over-
represented in the Basic Skills program. African-Americans were over-represented in the Basic Skills
and HRD programs, while Whites were under-represented in the both programs. Overall pattern of
ethnic representation in each category was by and large the same as last year’s.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR IV: RESOURCES
For any institution, educational or industrial, there is a critical mass of resources necessary
for the organization to perform at an optimal level. When resources fall below this critical
mass level, or when increased demand outstrips available resources, performance declines
and quality suffers. The level of resources can be thought of as an indicator of the health of
an organization.
An examination of the colleges' resources will indicate the capability of the institutions in
providing quality educational programs. Whereas resources alone do not guarantee that a
quality education will be delivered, without appropriate resources, a college cannot provide
students with an adequate learning experience.
The measures selected as indicators of the health of the System and the colleges as
determined by resources are:
A. Percentage of College Libraries Meeting ALA Standards
B. Total Dollar Amount of Budget Transfers Between Program Areas Made by Community
Colleges
C. Average Nine-Month Faculty Salaries as a Percentage of the SREB Average
D. Retention Rate for Full-Time Faculty With Less Than Five Years of Experience
E. Number of Faculty and Staff Participating in Professional Development Activities
F. Percentage of Facilities Meeting the "Satisfactory" Building Condition
G. Ratio of Occupational Extension FTE Dollar Allotment to Curriculum FTE Dollar
Allotment
72
RESOURCES MEASURE A: Percentage of College Libraries Meeting the ALA
Standards
Description/Definition— The percentage of colleges meeting the Association of College and
Research Libraries (ACRL) standards for community, junior and technical colleges.
Specifically, this measure looks at percentage meeting the standards for number of book
titles, serial subscriptions, expenditure minus salaries per FTE, library staff, and square
footage.
Methodology and Data Source—Library data have been collected by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) in odd numbered year. The data are published in the Statistical
Abstract of Higher Education in North Carolina, an annual publication of the UNC-General
Administration. Data available from this publication are then compared with the standards
set by the ACRL to determine which colleges meet the standards. It should be noted that the
ACRL standards vary based on FTE of the college.
Performance Target—No performance target level has been set for this measure.
Results— Library data for 2007-08 were not available at the time of 2009 CSF publication.
However, historical data showed that most colleges didn’t meet the measures and a handful
of colleges met only minimum level of ACRL standard in the past. This raises serious
concerns about under-funding of the community college libraries in North Carolina, and its
conditions.

RESOURCES MEASURE B: Total Dollar Amount of Budget Transfers Between
Program Areas Made by Community Colleges
Description/Definition—Purpose of this measure is to serve as an indicator of the
effectiveness of the resource allocation model being used by the North Carolina Community
College System. The measure is simply the total dollar amount of budget transfers across
program areas made by the community colleges.
Methodology and Data Source—Source of the data were the budget accounting records
maintained by the Business and Finance Division of the North Carolina Community College
System Office. The total dollar amount transferred was calculated by the Business and
Finance Division by comparing the initial allocation of funds with final expenditures.
Performance Target—No performance target was set for this measure.
Results—In 2007-08, a total of $1,754,355 of instructional funds were transferred from
personnel to other costs and other program areas by community colleges. This represents 0.3
percent of the total initial allocation.

RESOURCES MEASURE C: Average Nine-Month Faculty Salary as a Percentage
of the SREB Average
Description/Definition— The nine-month average faculty salary for full-time curriculum
faculty compared with the nine-month average faculty salary for full-time curriculum faculty
at public, two-year institutions in the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) states. To
allow comparisons across states, a nine-month salary figure is calculated for full-time
curriculum faculty based on a computed nine-month salary.
Methodology and Data Source—Source of the North Carolina community college faculty
salaries is the fall staff data file submitted annually by each college. Total monthly salary for
each full-time curriculum faculty is selected from the college data files. A nine-month salary
for each full-time faculty is then calculated by multiplying the total monthly salary by 9. An
average nine-month salary is then calculated for the college and the System. The SREB
nine-month average salary is obtained from an annual publication titled SREB (Southern
Regional Education Board) Data Exchange. The average nine-month faculty salary is
presented by state and an overall SREB average is calculated and presented.
This measure also presents data on the ranking of North Carolina among the 16 SREB states
in faculty salaries and calculates the percentage of North Carolina faculty salaries as a
function of the SREB average nine-month faculty salary.
Performance Target—By 2001, increase the average nine-month salaries of full-time
curriculum faculty and staff to 83.3 percent of the SREB average.
Results—In 2007-08, the average nine-month salary of full-time curriculum faculty was
$46,253 as compared to the SREB average of $50,191. It was 92.2 percent of the SREB
average. The performance target of 83.3 percent of SREB average was achieved, and the
SREB rank improved to be 12th
in 2007-08.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR V: TECHNOLOGY
The application of technology to education represents a critical factor in the success of
community colleges meeting the education and training needs of the citizens of North
Carolina. Whether it is to meet the demands of employers for workers with the latest high-
tech skills or to meet the growing demand for education and training from people throughout
the state, the community colleges must continue to integrate technology into the way
programs are delivered and upgrade faculty on the uses of the new technology.
In order to meet the challenges of the technological challenges of the future, the community
college system must focus on three areas. First, the technological infrastructure that supports
the delivery of instruction must be fully developed. Second, faculty must be trained in the
use of the new technologies. Third, courses and programs that can be delivered by way of
these new technologies must be developed and made available.
The measures comprising the critical success factor of technology are:
A. Curriculum Unduplicated Headcount by Course Method of Instruction
B. Number of Colleges Connected to the North Carolina Information Highway
C. Number of Colleges Possessing the FCC License for Wireless Cable Systems

80% of students who took developmental courses will pass the “gatekeeper” English and/or mathematics course for which the developmental course serves as a prerequisite
To be included in the analysis, a student must take the “gatekeeper” course within one academic year of completing the developmental course that served as the pre-requisite. Course record data submitted by the college to the data warehouse as part of the CRPFAR collection will be used to calculate this measure.
Student Satisfaction of Completers and Non-completers
90% of survey respondents satisfied with college programs and services
To be considered for performance funding, the following conditions must be met: 1. Completer Survey: A 50% return rate or a statistically valid sample size2. Non-Completer Survey: For colleges with fewer than 250 non-returning students, a
minimum of 25 valid surveys must be obtained. For colleges with more than 250non-returning students, a response rate equal to 10% of the total non-returningstudents or a statistically valid sample size must be obtained.
Curriculum Student Retention, Transfer and Graduation
65% of Fall degree seeking students will either re-enroll, transfer or graduate by the subsequent Fall.
The National Student Clearinghouse database will be used to determine student transfer.
Business/Industry Satisfaction with Services Provided
90% or respondents will rate services provided as “Very Good” or “Excellent”
