Introduction San Diego City College offers tutoring resources to students outside of class for their City College or ECC courses at the Tutorial/Learning Center (TLC), the English Center, and the Math Center. The college also provides Supplemental Instruction (SI) for targeted Biology, English, ESOL, and Math sections. The Tutorial/Learning Center (TLC) helps City College students achieve their academic goals by providing a place to study, do homework, receive academic assistance and support, meet with study groups, and attend study skills workshops. The English Center provides a community-based learning environment to help City College students become more effective, confident, and independent readers, writers, and critical thinkers. In support of the mission, the English Center offers assistance for all disciplines and is dedicated to providing innovation in tutoring strategies, pedagogy, and quality training in all areas of tutoring, as well as ongoing collaboration with faculty, staff, administration, and other tutorial/learning centers. The Math Center provides a flexible learning-centered environment in which students are able to complete their college math requirements. The Math Center strives to provide resources in an environment that is conducive for learning, where students can complete a Math Center course, receive general math tutoring, take a make-up test, study and complete homework assignments. Supplemental Instruction is an academic assistance program that provides peer-facilitated weekly group study sessions to improve student retention and success in difficult courses. SI is available for all students in the targeted course who want to improve their understanding of course material and improve their grades. The sessions are facilitated by SI tutors who attend class lectures, take notes, and act as model students. The program strives to positively impact academic achievement and student retention by creating and maintaining dynamic, interactive learning for individuals of all cultures, abilities, backgrounds and identities. This report is developed to serve multiple purposes at City College: (1) for accreditation in response to the Library and Learning Resources Support of Accreditation Standard IIB, (2) for the tutorial center administrators to determine best practices and to inform planning, and 3) for City College and the District to decide how services are rendered in the future. The key questions that this report will address are: What proportion of City College students participate in tutoring? What is the demographic profile of students who participate in tutoring? How well do tutoring students perform in their courses relative to students who do not receive tutoring? Are students who participate in tutoring more likely to persist from term to term (fall to spring) compared to students who do not receive tutoring? SDCC Office of Institutional Research 1
Methodology This first section of the report examines student characteristics, enrollment, retention, success, and persistence for tutoring students enrolled at City College over the past five years. Students who visited one of the three tutoring centers are compared to those who did not receive tutoring services to highlight differences in enrollment characteristics and student outcomes between those students who received tutoring compared to those students who did not utilize the tutoring center. The second section of the report examines student enrollment and outcomes in courses with Supplemental Instruction at City College over the past five years. Students who enrolled in SI sections are compared to students enrolled in courses without Supplemental Instruction. Over the past five years, supplemental instruction has been offered in BIOL 107; ENGL 12A, 42, 43, 47A, 48, 49, 101; ESOL 19, 20, 30, 32, 40, 45; and MATH 34A, 38, 46, 47A, 96, 115, 116, and 150. Course without SI sections are excluded.

Retention Rates: The percentage of students who complete a course with a grade of A, B, C, D, F, P, NP, I or RD out of total official census enrollments. Tutoring and cancelled classes are excluded. Success Rates: The percentage of students who complete a course with a grade of A, B, C, or P out of total official census enrollments. Tutoring, non-credit, and cancelled classes are excluded. Persistence Rates - Term: The percentage of official census enrolled students in a fall term who received a grade notation of A, B, C, D, F, P, NP, I or RD and who enrolled in at least one course in the subsequent spring term and received a grade notation of A, B, C, D, F, P, NP, I, or RD (SDSU and UCSD-only students and sections are excluded. Intersession, tutoring, in-service, and cancelled classes are excluded). Persistence Rates - Annual: Continuous fall to spring to fall enrollment: The percentage of official census enrolled students in a fall term who received a grade notation of A, B, C, D, F, P, NP, I, or RD and who enrolled in at least one course in the subsequent spring and fall terms and received a grade notation of A, B, C, D, F, P, NP, I, or RD in each term.
