Course Enrollment Patterns The course enrollment section contains data describing the number of sections and course enrollments by discipline, time of day, and online/on ground. The count of sections refers to the number of classes offered in a given term. Each course may offer more than one section, therefore, the number of sections will always be equal to or greater than the number of courses offered. For example, in fall of 2010, there were 19 math courses offered in 242 class sections. The count of course enrollments is the total number of course enrollments all students have amassed in the program or department. This count is duplicated by student as students are counted once for each enrollment in a class section. Day/Evening Status: Day: First class session or meeting of the week has a start time beginning on or after 6:00AM and before 4:30PM and has days scheduled of Monday through Friday.

Achievement The achievement section contains data describing the successful course completion rates, course retention rates, and a link to a database with the number of Associate Degrees and certificates of achievements awarded by the department. Course success rates are provided by discipline, day/evening status, and online/on ground status as well as student demographic variables (gender, ethnicity/race, and age group). Degrees and certificates are provided by program. Course Success: Successful course completion rates were calculated by dividing the number of A, B, C, CR, or P grades divided by the number of A, B, C, CR, D, DR, F, I, NC, NP, P, and W grades. Grades of RD (report delayed) and IP (in progress) were excluded from the analyses. Course Retention: Course retention rates were calculated by dividing the number of A, B, C, CR, P, D, F, I, NC, and NP grades by the number of A, B, C, CR, D, DR, F, I, NC, NP, P, and W grades. Grades of RD (report delayed) and IP (in progress) were excluded from the analyses.
