NCCCS Performance Measures and Standards
Factor I: Core Indicators of Student Success
CFCC Performance Results, 2002-03 through 2007-08
* In February 1999, in response to a mandate from the NC General Assembly to review past performance and define standards of performance to ensure the quality and effectiveness of programs and services, the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges adopted 12 performance measures for all 58 community colleges as the core indicators of student success for public accountability purposes.
In 2007, the NC General Assembly approved modifications to the North Carolina Community College Performance Measures and Standards as recommended by the NC State Board of Community Colleges. The modifications, effective immediately, reduced the number of measures from 12 to 8. To qualify for the Exceptional Institutional Performance rating, colleges must meet or exceed all 8 performance measures, *cannot have any licensure exam (for which the college controls who takes the exam) with a passing rate of less than 70%, and the †performance of students who transfer to a 4-year institution must meet or exceed the performance level of native UNC students.
