Rationale:
The above retention rate targets reflect a combination of trend
analysis (see tab for CSU RR Trends), increased admission requirements, and
intervention strategies described in step 3 of this plan. The increase in the
minimum high school GPA required and the change in the application deadline
is expected to be implemented for the cohort entering fall 2007. Efforts
directed toward at-risk groups, including African-American males, are
expected to be realized as early as the fall 2005 entering cohort. In
addition, a more centralized and less fragmented advising and student
mentoring process should have an immediate effect on retaining students
at-risk. Finally, the number of students living in campus housing is increasing
steadily and is expected to continue to have a positive effect on student
retention.
|
|
|
| Note: Retention rate targets for the two certificate and three
associate degree programs are not included. Projected target rates are not
realistic due to the low enrollment of full-time first-time students in
recent years. And, because of the low enrollment in these programs, CSU is
considering the deactivation of some, if not all, of these programs. |
