How does the Degree Progress Analysis report outcomes for developmental students?
After the initial cohort is identified based on having attempted 27 credit in two years, the percentage of students graduating, transferring, earning 45 credits in good academic standing, and persisting at the end of the study period are reported for four groups: 1) students who were college-ready when they first enrolled, 2) students needing developmental math who completed all developmental math requirements, 3) students yet to complete their developmental math requirements and 4) all students in the cohort. For this analysis, the term college-ready has been changed to degree-ready. Math requirements vary by program. Some programs require 100+ level math courses that could be transferable to a four-year institution. Other programs require less than 100 level math courses which would not be transferable to a four-year institution, but which would be the highest math level a student would need to complete in order to earn a degree or certificate.
