Accountability System - Goal 3: Student Success

Are students succeeding in getting through college?

Student success should be measured through outcomes. Performance indicators that focus on measuring completion, educational quality, and satisfaction with the educational experience will provide an overall picture of student success. Measures should vary slightly for the different systems of higher education so that they are consistent with institutional missions and reflect the student populations attending each segment.
