SPARC (Success – Progression – Achieve – Retention – Completion) is a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) that grew out of RCC’s retention needs and will provide additional opportunities for growth. RCC developed the QEP topic through a parallel planning process that included faculty and staff input as well as institutional data.

Starting with a beta testing phase in Fall 2019 and leading to full implementation in Fall 2020, the goal is to improve progression, retention, and completion of students enrolled in targeted courses. Faculty will partner with success coaches to positively impact student success.

The launch of Aviso, an early alert system, in late Fall 2019, is further expected to contribute to increased student success. Aviso prioritizes students at risk, identifies intervention opportunities, and quickly informs faculty and success coaches.

The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), established as the core postsecondary education data collection program for the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is a system of surveys designed to collect data from all primary providers of postsecondary education. IPEDS is a single, comprehensive system designed to encompass all institutions and educational organizations whose primary purpose is to provide postsecondary education. The IPEDS system is built around a series of interrelated surveys to collect institution-level data in such areas as enrollment, program completion, faculty, staff, and finances (Source: National Center for Education Statistics)

The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) provides a taxonomic scheme that supports the accurate tracking and reporting of fields of study and program completions activity. CIP was originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in 1980, with revisions occurring in 1985, 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020. Information on the 1985, 1990, 2000, and 2010 CIP can be accessed on the resources page under the section heading Archive and Historical.

ROBESON COMMUNITY COLLEGE (RCC) creates value in many ways. The college plays a key role in helping students increase their employability and achieve their individual potential. The college draws students to the region, generating new dollars and opportunities for Southeastern North Carolina. RCC provides students with the education, training, and skills they need to have fulfilling and prosperous careers. Furthermore, RCC is a place for students to meet new people, increase their self-confidence, and promote their overall health and well-being.

RCC influences both the lives of its students and the regional economy. The college supports a variety of industries in Southeastern North Carolina, serves regional businesses, and benefits society as a whole in North Carolina from an expanded economy and improved quality of life. Additionally, the benefits created by RCC extend to the state and local government through increased tax revenues and public sector savings.

This study measures the economic impacts created by RCC on the business community and the benefits the college generates in return for the investments made by its key stakeholder groups—students, taxpayers, and society.

The Some College, No Credential (SCNC) report series seeks to understand the educational trajectories of millions of U.S. adults who left postsecondary education without receiving a postsecondary credential and are no longer enrolled. As the third in the series, this report identifies the levels of opportunity within each state for re-engaging SCNC students in the postsecondary attainment pipeline by tracking SCNC student outcomes annually: “Re-Enrollment” after stop-out, completion of “First Credential,” and “Perseverance” as indicated by continuous enrollment beyond first re-enrollment.

Highlights

• The number of SCNC students rose to 39 million as of July 2020. Forty-eight states and D.C. experienced a net growth.
• California, Texas, New York, and Illinois account for more than a third of the nation’s SCNC students. However, Alaska shows the largest number of SCNC students per 1,000 currently enrolled undergraduates among all states.
• During the academic year 2020/21, 944,200 SCNC students re-enrolled and 60,400 students earned their first-ever postsecondary credential. An additional 531,700 students were still enrolled after re-enrolling the previous year. (These outcomes reference SCNC students aged 18 to 64.)
• About 62 percent of the 944,200 students changed institutions upon re-enrolling, and those who did change institutions also commonly crossed institution sectors (67%). Re-enrolling in a community college after last attending a community college was the most common pathway for SCNC re-enrollees (363,400 students, 38.5%).
• Seventy percent of the 60,400 completers obtained their credential from a public institution (two- or four-year). Private nonprofit four-year institutions had the highest perseverance rates (64.8%), while community colleges had the lowest (50.2%).
• Women outnumbered men in re-enrollment, credential earning, and perseverance. The share of re-enrollees among minority women was substantially higher than men (63.5% versus 34.6%).
• Associate degrees were the most common credential earned by Latinx SCNC students (42.5%), whereas Black students were most likely to have completed a certificate (42.7%). Asian and White students persevered at a higher rate than other groups.
