2 About the Student Fact Book The North Hennepin Community College Community College Student Fact Book aims to serve as a reference tool to provide general information about the college for use in planning, assessment, grant writing, preparing reports, and other projects. The data provided is the most recent available and in most cases looks back ten years. Most of the data is provided by fiscal year (July 1 June 30), however calendar year (January 1 December 31) and cohort tracking ( 20XX) is also utilized and noted as such. Operational data reported here for 2015 is preliminary and subject to modification in the next update. Care has been taken to align the data in the fact book to other MnSCU reports. Despite these attempts the data may still differ slightly from other college or system reports due to use of different sources, reporting time periods, reporting dates, or data definitions. Please refer to the appendix for definitions of terms. Please contact NHCC Institutional Effectiveness Office staff with questions or concerns about the data reported in the fact book. 2 About the Student Fact Book North Hennepin Community College

49 First Generation Status First generation status essentially describes the educational attainment of a student s parents or guardians. A first generation student is a student whose parents or guardians did not go to college or did not complete a four year degree. As shown in the next few sections, there are multiple definitions for the term first generation. The federal definition of the term includes more students than the Minnesota definition (see Appendix for more information). In fiscal year 2015, nine percent of North Hennepin students were had an unknown status that is, the college does not have data about their parents educational attainment and cannot determine whether the student is a first generation students or not. The proportion of students in the unknown category has decreased from 19 percent in First Generation Federal Definition: Neither parent has a bachelor s degree Between fiscal years 2006 and 2015, the percent of students identified as meeting the federal first generation definition increased slightly from 56 percent to 59 percent.

51 Underrepresented Status A student is considered underrepresented if he or she fits into one or more of the following categories: (1) student of color, (2) low income, or (3) first generation. Note that while there are two definitions of first generation, only the Minnesota definition is used for underrepresented (see Appendix for more information). Approximately one quarter to one third of NHCC students each year have an unknown status that is, the college does not have data about their race, Pell eligibility status, or parents educational attainment and cannot determine whether they are underrepresented students or not. The percent of students who are underrepresented is calculated as a percent of those with known status. Underrepresented Minnesota Definition of First Generation Nearly two of every three students at North Hennepin meets the underrepresented definition (e.g., student of color, low income, or Minnesota first generation) in The proportion of North Hennepin students who meet the underrepresented definition has increased from 50 percent in 2006 to 66 percent in Underrepresented MN Definition of First Generation 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 50% 51% 53% 54% ,510 3,411 3, ,178 1,077 1,100 4,607 4,718 5, % 63% 64% 64% 65% 66% ,671 2,555 2,668 2,580 2, ,286 1,253 1,250 1,171 1, ,760 6,863 7,104 7,092 6, Underrepresented Status Unknown Not Underrepresented % Underrepresented MN Definition Source: EPM11/Accountability Framework/Enrollment Analytic Tool North Hennepin Community College Student Profile Credit Students 51

52 Average Credit Load by Semester The average credit load is the average number of credits that NHCC students register for in a given semester. Overall the average credit load has decreased by approximately one half a credit in the fall and spring terms. The average credit load has remained fairly constant for full time students each term. Part time students have generally increased their credit load by one half credit in both fall and spring terms. Despite the increase in average credits taken by part time students, when coupled with the growing proportion of part time students at the college, leads us to decline in average credits overall. Credit loads taken in summers terms has been consistent over time.

59 Student Engagement Community College Survey of Student Engagement The Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) is a national survey focusing on student engagement, or the amount of time and energy that students invest in meaningful educational practices. CCSSE includes five benchmarks calculated from conceptually related survey items to provide an overview of critical student behavior and institutional practice necessary to promote and support student engagement. The CCSSE benchmarks include active and collaborative learning, student effort, academic challenge, student faculty interaction, and support for learners. North Hennepin first administered the CCSSE in Since 2005, MnSCU has required college participation one time per biennium for inclusion in accountability and performance measures. The graph below shows NHCC s benchmark scores over the past seven administrations. Benchmarks are standardized to compare with a national mean of 50 for all community colleges. The Support for Learners benchmark continued to increase in 2015 and is currently North Hennepin s only benchmark measuring above the national cohort. Academic Challenge and Active & Collaborative Learning benchmarks each declined four percent since the 2013 administration. North Hennepin CCSSE Benchmark Scores Academic Challenge Active and Collaborative Learning Student Effort Student Faculty Interaction Support for Learners Source: CCSSE Institutional Report (various years) Notes: Benchmark scores are computed by averaging scores for survey items that comprise the benchmark. Data is weighted by full time and part time enrollment status to compensate for disproportionately large numbers of full time students taking the survey.

63 Student Outcomes Retention, Transfer and Graduation Students are placed in cohorts as they enter MnSCU to facilitate tracking student retention, transfer, and graduation rates. Each cohort refers to the fall semester the student entered North Hennepin Community College. Cohorts are tracked each subsequent term and students who are retained, transferred, graduated are flagged as successes. The fall to fall or second fall Student Persistence and Completion rate of full time students is one of North Hennepin s performance measures in MnSCU s Strategic Framework. The success rate is a combination of retention, transfer, and graduation rates. The system s analytic tool also allows us to look more closely at the outcomes of students with specific characteristics such as full or part time attendance, first generation status, Pell Grant eligibility, and race/ethnicity. Graphic displays of this data are included in the next sections. Currently the system analytic tool only tracks students who enter in a fall terms.
