South Orange County Community Coege District IRVINE VALLEY COLLEGE Institutiona Effectiveness Annua Report 2007-2008 Genn R. Roquemore, Ph.D. President Presented To: Raghu P. Mathur, Ed.D. Chanceor South Orange County Community Coege District Board of Trustees South Orange County Community Coege District December 2008
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Since 1985, Irvine Vaey Coege (IVC) has been improving the quaity of ife for residents of southern Orange County. More than 14,000 students are enroed in IVC s day, evening, and onine programs. With the highest transfer rate in the county and the third highest transfer rate in the state, IVC prides itsef on exceence. To ensure continued distinction, the coege fosters and encourages a cuture of panning and assessment in which institutiona refection and action are prompted and supported by data about student earning and institutiona performance. The anaysis of this data, which incudes an examination of past performance as we as an identification of areas for improvement and growth, constitute the heart of this Institutiona Effectiveness Annua Report. The primary purposes of the Institutiona Effectiveness Report are to inform Irvine Vaey Coege s instructiona and student services programs, and support the deveopment of initiatives designed to promote student success. The resuts from this evauation, aong with program reviews and assessments of student earning outcomes, assist the coege in achieving those fundamenta purposes. The report is divided into five major areas reated to the coege s mission, functions, and resources. These areas incude: (1) Student Learning and Achievement; (2) Student Outreach and Responsiveness to the Community; (3) Facuty and Staff; (4) Appications of Technoogy; and (5) Faciity and Fisca Support. Whie a detaied anaysis defines the content of the document, the summary findings are noted beow: Institutiona Effectiveness in the Area of Student Learning and Achievement IVC has maintained high overa course success rates and exceptionay high success rates in weekend courses; however, the course success rates in onine education ag behind the overa course success rates. Students progression from basic skis Engish courses into coege eve Engish is high. The annua transfer rates to UC and CSU have remained stabe; in fact, IVC has consistenty exceeded its expected transfer rates. The number of degrees and certificates awarded annuay, however, has decined over the ast five years. In terms of state Accountabiity Reporting for the Community Coeges (ARCC) performance measures, IVC has fared we, surpassing its peer group average for four out of the seven measures and reaching the highest within its peer group for student progress and achievement rate and the improvement rate for credit basic skis courses. Institutiona Effectiveness in the Area of Student Outreach and Responsiveness to the Community Over the past five years, the coege has made progress in enhancing student access. The coege has created new instructiona options through its onine and hybrid offerings as we as diversified Emeritus Institute courses. The data indicates that IVC is becoming increasingy the coege of choice for many of its oca high schoo graduates. IVC has been successfu in deveoping and maintaining a student body that refects the diversity of the coege s service area in terms of ethnicity. Institutiona Effectiveness in the Area of Facuty and Staff The tota number of permanent empoyees has grown steadiy over the past five years. The number of permanent cassified empoyees has experienced the greatest growth, whie the number of administrators and managers has remained somewhat stabe. The number of permanent facuty has fuctuated.
Institutiona Effectiveness in the Area of Appications of Technoogy IVC and the District have made significant progress in the depoyment of various technoogies in support of instruction, services, and overa operations. Since 2004-05 the coege has received over $4.5 miion from basic aid funding for technoogy infrastructure and projects. As a resut, the tota number of computers on campus has increased by 20%. The coege staff who provides oca server maintenance has remained stabe as has the staff who provides user support. Institutiona Effectiveness in the Area of Faciity and Fisca Support The coege is committed to maintaining a physica environment that provides the best possibe conditions for teaching and earning, and this commitment is apparent in its increase in instructiona square footage and the annua expenditures for maintenance.

CHAPTER I Student Learning and Achievement Tracking and evauating the academic success of students is the primary focus of this institutiona effectiveness report. Successfu Course Competion Rates Successfu course competion is important for students progression through the sequence of courses they need to meet their educationa goas. The percentage of successfu grades (A, B, C, or CR) remained fairy stabe at 71% over the five-year period (see Figure I. 1). Figure I. 1 Overa Annua Successfu Course Competion Rates 75% 70% 70.7% 71.2% 70.7% 71.6% 71.0% 65% 60% 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 The course success rates in Basic Skis Engish have fuctuated over the ast five years (see Figure 1.2) from a ow of 49.21% in 2003-04 to a high of 65.8% for 2007-08. In response to a decine of 6.1% in 2006-07 (from 60.2% in 2005-06 to 54.1% in 2006-07), the Engish department instituted a series of changes to address success rates in the Basic Skis casses (2007-08). The primary changes incude 1) adding Basic Skis workshops for facuty teaching courses in Basic Skis Engish, 2) revising the curricuum so that students take compementary casses in the writing center (instituting a co-requisite), 3) increasing the number of required hours in the writing center, and 4) instituting mandatory conferences for course credit for the writing center. The Engish department is aso coecting data and conducting severa studies to measure student success in ~ 1
IRVINE VALLEY COLLEGE Institutiona Effectiveness 2007-2008 Basic Skis Engish courses. The areas being studied are appropriate pacement, programmatic factors that affect student success, and aignment of the course sequence. The 2007-08 data indicates a success rate of 65.8%, an increase of 11.7% over 2006-07 (54.1%), an increase attributabe, it is hoped, to the changes instituted during the 2007-08 schoo year. 65% 60% 55% 50% Figure I. 2 Annua Successfu Course Competion Rates in Basic Skis Engish Casses 65.8% 60.9% 60.2% 49.2% 54.1% 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 Basic skis math success rates have increased substantiay over the first four years, but have faen sighty in the ast year (see Figure I.3). This sight decrease coud be simpy a natura fuctuation or a resut of the statistica methods used to anayze the data. It coud aso be a refection of the remova of the supervision of the Math Tutoria Center from the mathematics department that resuted in a major decrease in the number of students seeking suppementa instruction at the center. Irvine Vaey Coege recognizes the need for focused support in assisting students in basic skis math courses. Through the Coege s strategic panning efforts and the Basic Skis Initiative, the coege has dedicated resources to improve support in this area. The coege has returned supervision of the Math Tutoria Center to the mathematics department. The coege has aso estabished the mathematics tutor-training program, increasing both the number of trained tutors and the avaiabe hours for assistance. The mathematics department is seeking funding to return the eve of services in the Math Tutoria Center to what it was prior to Spring 2007, which incuded staffing the Center not ony with tutors but aso with discipine experts. In addition, in fa 2008 the mathematics department began offering a sequence of eight arithmetic modues to hep students master their basic skis. New modes of co-requisite, zero-unit courses for basic skis and deveopmenta mathematics courses are being deveoped as part of the mathematics department s master pan to provide a sustainabe earning center for assisting students in need of additiona hep outside the cassroom.

STUDENT LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT The coege has made a commitment to providing instruction in aternative deivery modes to meet the educationa needs of students. Weekend courses have the highest rates of successfu competion, exceeding the rates of any other type of courses (see Figure I. 4). Short term courses have a 71% success rate simiar to the overa coege success rate (see Figure I. 5). Distance education courses continue to have success rates ower than the coege wide rates or other aternative deivery modes (see Figure I. 6).

IRVINE VALLEY COLLEGE Institutiona Effectiveness 2007-2008 Progression from Basic Skis to Coege Leve Courses Basic Skis courses are defined as courses that are two or more eves beow coege eve Engish or Math courses. Students enroed in any basic skis Engish or Math courses in three consecutive fa semester cohorts were each tracked over a three-year period to determine the extent to which students progress into coege eve Engish or Math and compete with a grade of C/CR or better. Over five years the average rate for students who moved from a basic skis Engish to a coege eve Engish cass was 73%. For students who started in basic skis Math and succeed at a coege eve Math course the average rate over five years was 45%. Since the graduation requirements for an associates degrees incude a coege eve Engish course but ony a pre-coegiate eve Math course, the ower average rate of competion of a coege eve Math course is expected.

STUDENT LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT Matricuation and Persistence Rate for First-time Coege Students 17-20 Years Od Persistence through the first academic year into the second year is an important step in subsequent achievement of educationa goas, particuary for degree competion and transfer. First-time coege students, 17-20 years od, who have competed matricuation orientation, assessment and advisement sessions were tracked to determine whether they persisted into the next academic year. Over the five years, the average persistence rate for the cohorts was 60% (see Tabe I. 2).

Certificates awarded have fuctuated from a high of 107 in 2005-06 to a ow of 71 in 2007-08 (see Figure 1. 7). Irvine Vaey Coege is monitoring the number of degrees and certificates awarded as part of the strategic panning process. A factor that may have contributed to the decrease in degrees awarded reated to the change in associate degree requirements set forth by the CCC System s Office. The System s Office recenty approved associate degrees with broady defined areas of emphasis which may resuts in an increase in degrees awarded in 2008-2009. The coege is aso reviewing the Career Technica Education certificates to ensure that the certificates currenty offered are we-aigned with industry needs and are offered in a timey manner. The Career Technica Education fieds have increased their reiance on certificate advisory boards and conduct program review every two years to ensure reevancy, fu enroment, and competion of certificates.

IRVINE VALLEY COLLEGE Institutiona Effectiveness 2007-2008 Annua Voume of Transfers & State Derived Transfer Rates The number of annua transfers to both UC and CSU campuses has fuctuated over the past five years. The number of annua transfer to CSU campuses reached a high in 2004-05 at 445 students; the average rate for the five year period is amost 400 transfers a year. The number of annua transfers to a UC campus has been stabe at around 215 students a year (see Figure I. 8).

STUDENT LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT Many community coege students transfer to private four-year institutions. Over the ast two years the Caifornia Community Coege (CCC) System Office has produced a report that totas the number of students who have transferred to private institutions (see Tabe 1.4). Over the ast two years the in-state private institutions that received the argest number of transfers from IVC are University of Phoenix, Chapman University, the University of Southern Caifornia and Concordia University.

As opposed to annua numbers, transfer rates are a more defined measure of actua transfers of a particuar group/cohort of students. The CCC System Office has deveoped a methodoogy for cacuating transfer rates that has been widey recognized and accepted statewide as one of the best approaches for cacuating expected and actua transfer rates. The methodoogy tracks cohorts of first-time coege freshmen who competed a minimum of 12 units and enroed in a transfer eve Math or Engish course during enroment (transfer oriented first-time freshmen). Each cohort is tracked for subsequent transfer to a four-year institution within six years, incuding UC, CSU, private Caifornia and out-of-state coeges and universities. Over 55% of transfer oriented first-time coege freshmen who started at IVC in 2001-02 transferred within six years. IVC s actua transfer rates have been consistenty higher than its expected transfer rates (see Figure I. 9). Expected transfer rates are cacuated taking into account factors outside the contro of the coege such as percentage of students 25 years or oder (the arger the percentage of students 25 or oder, the ower the expected transfer rate) and the Bacheor of Arts/Sciences Pus Index. The index represents the bacheor degree attainment of the popuation, 25 years or oder, in a coege s service area. This index combines the enroment patterns of students by ZIP code of residence with educationa data for ZCTA (ZIP Census Tabuation Area) codes that the CCC System s Office staff obtained from Census 2000. The higher the index, the higher is the expected transfer rate. 70% Figure I. 9 Expected and Actua Transfer Rates 60% 50% 40% 55.64% 48.47% 1998-99 cohort foowed through 2003-04 58.39% 56.44% 55.55% 49.13% 1999-00 cohort foowed through 2004-05 48.85% 2000-01 cohort foowed through 2005-06 Expected Actua 47.34% 2001-02 cohort foowed through 2006-07 ~ 7
IRVINE VALLEY COLLEGE Institutiona Effectiveness 2007-2008 2008 Accountabiity Reporting for Community Coeges (ARCC) Indicators In 2004, Assemby Bi 1417 triggered the creation of a performance measurement system for the Caifornia Community Coeges. That egisation and ensuing budget action authorized the CCC System Office to design and impement a performance measurement system that contained performance indicators for the system and its coeges. The information in this section presents the 2008 ARCC performance indicators for IVC. ARCC Student Progress and Achievement Rate This rate represents the percentage of first-time students within a given academic year who showed intent to compete and who achieved any of the foowing outcomes within six years: 1) transferred to a four-year institution 2) earned an AA/AS degree 3) earned a certificate (18 units or more) or 4) achieved Transfer Directed or Transfer Prepared status. Sixty-six percent of such IVC first-time students achieve at east one of the stated outcomes (see Figure I. 10).

This measure recognizes that many students take courses to improve specific skis or attaining knowedge in certain areas without achieving a degree or transferring. It is aso a measure of persistence within the system. Seventy percent of first time students who start at IVC earn at east 30 units within six years (see Figure I. 11). 75% 70% 65% Figure I. 11 ARCC Percentage of Students who Earned at Least 30 Units 69.4% 70.6% 69.2% 60% 1999-2000 to 2004-05 2000-2001 to 2005-06 2001-2002 to 2006-07 8 ~
STUDENT LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT ARCC Persistence Rate This measure represents the percentage of first-time students at IVC with a minimum of six units earned in a fa term and who returned and enroed in the subsequent fa term anywhere in the system.

The purpose of peer grouping is to compement the other ARCC sources of information about coege eve performance by giving decision makers a way to compare each coege s performance with the performances of other ike coeges on each seected performance indicator (each ARCC outcome measure) in a fair and vaid manner. The composition of each peer group resuted ony from statistica anaysis of the avaiabe uncontroabe factors reated to each outcome. Therefore, the peer groupings may ist some coeges as peers when we customariy woud consider them as quite dissimiar. ~ 11
