Institutional Effectiveness

Credits Successfully Completed – Winter

Successful completion of attempted credits propels students toward the achievement of their educational goals. The higher the credit completion rate, the greater the likelihood students will efficiently progress through their academic pathway saving time and financial resources.

Time period W2022 W2023 W2024 W2025 W2026
Credit completion rate 79.3% 78.8% 78.1% 80.0% 80.0%
  • The winter 2026 completion rate matched that of winter 2025 and exceeded those of the prior three winter terms.

Equity Gaps

Equity gap refers to any disparity along racial, socioeconomic, gender or other demographic grouping.? These gaps lead the college to ask “what processes, policies or practices are in place that create or exacerbate these disparities? ”

Characteristic Range (groups at lowest and highest) Equity Gap *Compared to W2025
Gender 79.8% to 80.3% (Male to Female) <1% point no change
Pell Status 77.1% to 82.0% (Awarded Pell to No Pell) 4.9% points Narrowed
Race/Ethnicity 72.25% to 83.0% (Black/African American to Asian) 10.75%? points Narrowed
Age 77.3% to 83.3% (Age 20-24 to Age 30+) 6% points Widened
1st Generation 78.2% to 82.0% (1st Generation to Not 1st Generation) ?3.8% points Narrowed
* Interpretation of Comparisons:? Narrowed = improved more than one percentage point;? Widened = Worsened more than one percentage point
Comparison of Winter 2026 to Winter 2025 Equity Gaps
  • The gender equity gap remains the smallest among all demographic characteristics.
  • While the race/ethnicity equity gap is the widest, it narrowed due to increased completion rates among Black/African American students.
  • The gap between age groups widened due to higher completion rates among students age 30 and older and lower completion rates among those age 20–24.
  • With the exception of age, equity gaps narrowed among all groups.
