IntroductionTennessee Higher Education Adult Student Fact Book 2014-2015 i

Introduction

History The Tennessee Higher Education Commission was created in 1967 by the Tennessee General Assembly to coordinate

and foster unity within higher education. The Commission coordinates two systems of public higher education: the

University of Tennessee institutions, governed by the University of Tennessee Board of Trustees, and the state

universities, community colleges, and colleges of applied technology governed by the Tennessee Board of Regents.

There are currently nine public universities, 13 community colleges, and 27 colleges of applied technology in Tennessee

that serve over 240,000 students collectively. Tennessee’s independent institutions (non-profit and for-profit) bring

statewide enrollment for fall 2014 to more than 380,000 students.

The Commission is composed of nine lay members appointed by the Governor for six year terms who represent the

state’s congressional districts, three Constitutional Officers who are ex-officio voting members (Comptroller of the

Treasury, State Treasurer, and Secretary of State), two ex-officio student members who serve two year terms, and the

Executive Director of the State Board of Education, who is an ex-officio non-voting member.

Current Context In January 2010, the General Assembly passed the Complete College Tennessee Act (CCTA), a comprehensive reform

agenda that seeks to transform public higher education through changes in academic, fiscal and administrative policies

at the state and institutional levels. While the higher education landscape has been shaped by the CCTA, higher

education is evolving to adopt Governor Bill Haslam’s statewide reform agenda, collectively known as the “Drive to 55.”

The goal of the Drive to 55 is to raise the proportion of the state’s working-age population with college credentials to 55

percent by the year 2025.

The success of this goal relies largely on the recruitment, retention, and completion of adults in higher education.

Tennessee Reconnect, the adult‐focused efforts of the Drive to 55, works to engage the over 900,000 Tennessee adults

over 25 who have some college but have not completed their degree, and the 1.4 million Tennesseans over 25 with only

a high school degree.

Beyond meeting baseline metrics for labor market demand, state-level initiatives intend to ensure that postsecondary

education is a viable option for any adult Tennessean who chooses to pursue it. This is accomplished by 1) providing

research for building the policy framework; 2) coordinating community and regional initiatives; 3) developing and

leveraging employer and workforce partnerships; 4) supporting and building capacity within institutions to serve adults

more effectively; and, 5) supporting and reaching out to adult learners.

Caucasian African American Other

Source: THEC SIS Notes: “Other” consists of Alaska Native, American Indian, Asian or Pacific Islander, Hispanic, Multiracial, and Unknown. These racial groups were combined because few students fall into each category which would lead to dramatic suppression across the table. Retention rates are inter-institutional within the public system.

Adult Remedial & Developmental Student Success

Source: THEC SIS Notes: "Remedial and Developmental Success" uses the definition set forth in the funding formula, and refers to the number of full-time and part-time students who were enrolled in any remedial or developmental course who then successfully completed college-level courses in a subsequent semester within three years of their initial enrollment. Census date is used instead of end-of-term date because THEC does not collect course level data. For example, if a student is enrolled for 15 credit hours at the census date and finishes the semester with 12 credit hours, THEC is unable to determine which class the student did not complete. The Complete College Tennessee Act enacted in January 2010 requires that Tennessee public universities cease delivering remedial and developmental courses by July 1, 2012.

Glossary

Definitions Auxiliary Enterprise: An entity that exists to furnish goods or services to students, faculty, or staff, and that charges a fee directly related to the cost of the goods or services (essentially self-supporting). Examples include: residence halls, food services, college stores, parking garages, etc. Census Date: The traditional date on which the first degree credit headcount and full-time equivalent enrollment reports are generated for all Tennessee public institutions. Beginning fall 2010, institutions also report end-of-term data. Table 1.3 provides an end-of-term enrollment figure. Degree Credit: Credit that the institution designates as regular, occupational, certificate, extension or co-op. Formula Units: Academic entities that derive their operating funds from the public higher education funding formula. Includes public universities, community colleges, and colleges of applied technology. Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Enrollment: For undergraduate students, fall term FTE is the total number of credits attempted divided by 15. For graduate students, the fall term FTE is the total number of credits attempted divided by 9. For students in clock hour courses, the academic year FTE is the total number of clock hours divided by 900.

University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UT HSC) FTE: At UT HSC, the number of full time students cannot be reliably calculated based on credit hours due to the high (and variable) number of credit hours taken by students in the health professions. Many programs are year round, with ‘semesters’ lasting 6 months, and students are enrolled in a number of sequential courses during this period. In addition, many of the courses involve clerkship experiences requiring 40 hours per week for 4 or more weeks such that credit hours accumulate quickly. Since the curriculum is fixed for most of these programs and students proceed in a lock step manner without options to pursue coursework part time, UT HSC reports FTE based on the number of students enrolled in each of the professional programs. Exceptions that allow for part time students (e.g. in the graduate school and in Nursing) occur in some programs and are tracked for THEC reports.

Full-Time Student: A student who is enrolled for 12 or more hours of degree credit in a semester. Mandatory Fees: A required fee for all students, as opposed to a fee attached to specific course. Non-Formula Units: Non-academic entities that derive their operating funds from public higher education funding other than the outcomes based formula. Includes all entities other than universities, community colleges, and colleges of applied technology. Examples are the UT Veterinary School, the Space Institute, and the Centers of Excellence. Part-Time Student: A student who is enrolled for less than 12 hours of degree credit in a semester. Restricted Current Funds: Funds expendable for operating purposes but restricted by donors or other outside agencies as to the specific purposes for which they may be expended.

Southern Regional Education Board (SREB): The nation’s first interstate compact for higher education, the Atlanta based SREB is a coalition of educators, government officials, and civic leaders interested in advancing knowledge and improving the social and economic life of the South. Special Student: At the undergraduate level, a student who does not hold a bachelor’s or advanced degree and who is not working toward a certificate or degree. At the graduate level, a student who holds a bachelor’s degree or higher, is not working toward a degree and is not a post-doctoral student. Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT): There are 27 colleges of applied technology across the state that are governed by the Board of Regents. The workforce development mission of the TCATs is to give Tennessee residents the opportunity to obtain the technical skills and professional training necessary for advancement in today's competitive job market. The non-credit bearing Regents Online Continuing Education Program (ROCE), the non-credit bearing Special Interest Course, and the Continuing Education Unit (CEU) are excluded from TCAT total headcount.
