Complete College America: How states are
utilizing the Common Completion Metrics in performance funding formulas and other
state policy initiatives.
SHEEO Higher Education Policy ConferenceAugust 10, 2012
Complete College AmericaFounded in 2009 with a single focus on working with states to:
Significantly increase the number of students successfully earning degrees and credentials of value in the labor market, and
Close attainment gaps for traditionally underrepresented populations, including minority and low-income young adults.
Goal: By 2020, six out of ten young adults in the U.S. will have a college degree or certificate of value.
The Alliance of States COMMITMENT TO STATE AND CAMPUS GOALS• Commit to set state and campus numerical goals to increase completion and close
attainment gaps by 2020
COMMITMENT TO MEASURING PROGRESS & SUCCESS• State and campus leaders pledge to measure and publicly report annual progress
on key progression and completion metrics
COMMITMENT TO BOLD ACTION• Ensure all students are ready to start and succeed in freshman credit courses• Redesign remediation strategies to substantially improve success• Reduce time to degree and increase the number of students completing on time• Provide financial incentives to students and colleges for progress• Develop new, shorter and faster pathways to degrees and certificates of value

COMMON METRICS UNDERLIE EVERY CCA ACTIVITY
Purpose of CCA/NGA Common College Completion Metrics
INFORM: To help policymakers and the public understand how students, colleges, and the state are doing on college completion
ANALYZE: To help policymakers and colleges identify specific challenges and opportunities for improvement
SHOW PROGRESS: To establish a fair baseline and show progress over time
HOLD ACCOUNTABLE: To hold students, colleges, and the state accountable to the public and to policymakers investing taxpayer dollars in higher education

Public Agenda for College & Career Success
Goal 1: Increase educational attainment to match best-performing U.S. states and world countries• Performance Measures
– Education Level of Adult Population– Goal of 60 x 2025– Ethnic/Racial Groups: High School Graduates– Ethnic/Racial Groups: College Graduates– Students with Disabilities: College Graduates– Remedial Courses
• State Accountability Report

Illinois Longitudinal Data System (ILDS)
• Commitment to a statewide P-20 data system• Collect student data, facilitate evaluation of
education programs, and facilitate education research
• Illinois Higher Education Consortium (IHEC)– Public universities, community colleges,
proprietary and not-for-profit institutions– Standing Committee for Data Elements
IBHE Presentation 20
Source of data for future performance funding measuresFor example:
• Articulation and retention of transfer students • Progress of students requiring remediation (math/language arts)• Credit hour accumulation (e.g., 24/48/72) • Time to completion (e.g., 100%, 150%, 200%)• Students defined as first generation• Students by age• Students by geographical location
Illinois Longitudinal Data System (ILDS)
IBHE Presentation 21
Higher Education Performance Funding
• Rewards institutions that meet state goals• Focuses on outputs, not inputs
– Course completion instead of course enrollment– Degree recipients instead of degree candidates
• Encourages at-risk students• Maintains quality• Increases funding with meeting more goals
IBHE Presentation 22
Illinois’ Principles for Performance Funding
1) Focus on the fundamental goal of increasing completion
2) Reward performance of institutions in advancing the success of students who are:• Academically or financially at risk• First generation students• Low-income students• Students traditionally underrepresented in higher education
IBHE Presentation 23
Illinois’ Principles for Performance Funding
3) Recognize and account for the differentiated missions of institutions of higher education
4) Recognize the unique and broad mission of public community colleges
5) Maintain the quality of degrees, certificates, courses, and programs

Step 2: Collect Best Available Data
Step 3: Award Premium for Student
Success
Step 4: Normalize Data (or Scale)
Step 5: Weight by Mission (Carnegie)

What We Accomplished
• Developed a workable performance funding model• Model and budget recommendations were approved by both
the Steering Committee and the IBHE Board• A performance funding component was included in the FY
2013 Higher Education Budget Submission by IBHE• The IBHE funding recommendation was included in the
Governor’s Budget without change• The Illinois General Assembly allocated funding based on
performance consistent with the IBHE performance funding recommendation
29
FY 2013 Performance Funding Results
• At Public Universities: – 0.5% of the base ($6.15M) was re-allocated based on the
performance funding model
• At Community Colleges: – $360K was re-allocated based on their model’s six
performance measures
30
Continually Improve & Refine Performance Funding
• Fiscal Year 2013 performance funding model is the starting point
• Performance Funding Refinement Committee meets quarterly to consider performance measures, data collection and analyses, and new calculations
• Working on the Fiscal Year 2014

PRESENTATION TO SHEEOCHICAGO, AUGUST 10TH
TONY HUTCHISON, VICE CHANCELLOR FOR STRATEGIC PLANNING & ANALYSIS AND WORKFORCE & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Complete College AmericaA Plan for Increasing Postsecondary Credentials to Fuel a Strong Economy
1 FOCUS ON READINESS Higher education and K-12 will work together to develop and implement a strategy that seeks to identify students not on target to be college-ready by graduation and targets activities in the 11th and 12th grades to reduce remediation demands in the transition from high school to college.
2 TRANSFORM REMEDIATIONEvery Oklahoma institution will implement transformational models of remedial placement and support through a statewide phased implementation and refinement process.
3 BUILD BRIDGES TO CERTIFICATES & DEGREES
Develop and implement a "Program Equivalent Project" that bridges Career Tech credit hour completion to certificate and A.A.S. degree completion in the community colleges.
4 REACH HIGHER FOR ADULT COMPLETION
Further expand and develop Reach Higher as a degree and certificate completion effort that involves the entire system of postsecondary education.
5 TRACK & REWARD PROGRESS & COMPLETION
Reform Oklahoma’s successful Brain Gain Performance Funding Program to provide metrics and accountability for measuring state and campus progress toward completion goals.

HOW WE ARRIVEDCONFLUENCE OF FACTORSState Question 744Complete College America – OSRHEOklahoma Secretary of Education Phyllis Hudecki
Oklahoma Governor Mary FallinCouncil of Presidents Desire for Funding Formula reform
MORE THAN A YEARS WORTH OF WORK BY THE OSRHE COUNCIL OF PRESIDENTS
Several factors needed to be addressed. They included:• Dramatic Reform of the old cost
base/peer institution model• Replacement with performance metrics• Addressing equity issues from the old
model
NEW FORMULA BUILDS OFF OF OLD “BRAIN GAIN”
Old Model98% of funding flowed through a cost/peer model
2% performance from Brain GainGraduation RatesFirst year Retention RatesDegrees ConferredTwo unique campus measure
NEW FORMULA100% of New Money goes through a CCA Performance Based Formula.

PHASE IN
First Two Years OSRHE acceptance of campus completion plan is weighted heavily.By year three all the performance factors are implemented and weighted plan phased out.OSRHE can withhold 10% of New Funds for Base adjustments.
