FALL SEMESTERS PAGE 1 OF 2

A way to quantify the activity in the courses offered by each academic area is to count the number of credit hours students register for in that discipline. A generated credit hour is calculated by:

Multiplying the number of students in a particular section by the credit value for the course

Calculating the sum of all sections and courses in the discipline, division, or college.

CREDIT ENROLLMENT DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILES

AGE More than half of Manchester Community College students are “traditional college age,” 18-21 years old. The number of students in this age group, and the share of MCC enrollment they account for, has been decreasing for several years, reflecting larger demographic trends and decreasing numbers of Connecticut High School graduates.

Age distributions for MCC students are different for Full-time and Part-time students. About 75% of full-time students are of “traditional” college age, 18-21 years old. Part-time students are more evenly distributed across a range of age groups. In Fall 2015 for example, 42% of part-time students were age 21 or younger, and another 33% were 22-39 years old.

of 31



GENDER

Historically, women have outnumbered men among MCC students, and for much of the 1990s represented 60% or more of the credit students. Through the 2000s, however, that gap closed, and over the past five years women have represented about 53% of the credit students

Gender distributions are different for Full-time vs. Part-time students. Among Full-time students men and women each account for about 50% of the credit enrollment; among Part-time students, women outnumber men (54% women vs. 46% men in Fa15).

First year retention rates are slightly better for women than men. Among new full time students over the past five years, 64% of women returned the following Fall. Among men, 60% returned for a second Fall semester. Historically, women have been more likely than men to earn MCC degrees. Over the past five years 57% of the awards were earned by women.

ETHNICITY AND RACE

Manchester Community College educates a diverse group of students. One way to measure diversity is students’ self-identified ethnicity and race. While 57% of the students who report a race and/or ethnicity are White, the proportion of minority students has increased over the past decade.

As we continue phasing-in new federal categories for race and ethnicity, it is important to note that calculations related to the percentage of minority students at MCC are typically based on those who responded to these new federal questions, and exclude non-resident aliens (15 in Fa15). In Fa15 94% of students responded with a race or ethnicity. In addition to the groups shown in the chart and table on this page, many students self-identify as “two or more races” (150, 2% in Fa15).

Black, Non-Hispanic 14% 16% 17% 17% 16%

Valid Total 7036 7214 7167 6935 6476

Valid Total as % of Total Enrolled 94% 94% 95% 95% 94%

Retention rates for minority students have exhibited an upward trend over the past several years, but there are still differences. Among new full-time students over the past five years 64% of white students, 58% of Hispanic students, and 54% of Black students return to MCC the following fall semester.

APPLICANTS AND YIELD The Admissions office has experienced a dramatic increase in the number of applications over the past decade. Over this period (2015 vs. 2005) the number of Fall semester accepted applications has increased over 30%. More than half the applicants for the Fall 2015 term were new 1st time college students; 33% were transfer-in students.

“Yield” is used to describe the share of applicants who actually register for classes at the College. Over the past ten years, MCC’s yield rate has typically fallen between 50% and 60%.

FINANCIAL AID MCC has seen a dramatic increase over the past decade in the number of students applying for Financial Aid. Last year (Fa14-Sp15), we had over 10,000 potential students apply for financial aid. MCC offered a financial aid award to 57% of the applicants, and disbursed almost $13.4 million to 4,163 students.

Among the 7,300 Fa14 credit students 62% applied for financial aid, and 42% were Pell eligible.

Among the 6,891 Fa15 credit students 61% applied for financial aid, and 40% were Pell eligible.

About 75% of the $13.2 million in 2014-15 disbursed funds were Federal grants. About $780K was from the State of Connecticut. In addition to Federal, State and Institutional aid, the MCC Foundation distributed almost $270K in student awards and scholarships to MCC students in 2014.

FACULTY LOAD SHARE OF INSTRUCTIONAL WORKLOAD

TAUGHT BY FULL TIME FACULTY

MCC’s Full-time faculty account for about one-third of the instructional workload each fall semester. Full time faculty are critically important for the academic quality of the institution, as their role includes creating new programs, updating curriculum in existing areas, working with employers and other stakeholders in the region, coordinating the work of part-time faculty, advising students, and more. In Fall 2015 the share of instructional workload taught by 108 FT faculty is 36%.

PLACEMENT AND DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION

SUMMARY

Entering students take assessment tests to determine their appropriate class placement in Math and English. In many cases we focus on those students coming to MCC direct from HS – spring HS grad and fall MCC student. Among these New direct from HS students in Fall 2015, 57% were ready for college level English, and 69% were ready for college level Math – 48% were college-ready in both English and Math.

In Fall 2015, credit students registered for about 20,000 seats. Only 6% of these seat registrations were in developmental classes. Of the 6,891 Fall 2015 credit students, 928 were registered in at least one developmental course, and 186 students were enrolled exclusively in developmental courses.

Passing English 101 and Math 138 are important milestones for most students, and can be considered gatekeeper courses since they are prerequisites for many program courses. An increasing share of new full time students are passing these classes within their first year.

of 31


RETENTION RATES SUMMARY

Federal graduation and retention rates are typically calculated by following cohorts of “first time, full time, degree seeking freshmen.” The retention rates below reflect the number of these cohort students who are registered in the following spring and fall terms.

College readiness is one of the more powerful predictors of retention rates at MCC. More than 2/3 of college-ready students return for a second fall semester, vs. about half for students who are in both developmental English and developmental Math.

of 31


GRADUATION RATES SUMMARY

Federal graduation and retention rates are calculated by following cohorts of “first time, full time, degree seeking freshmen.” The graduation rates below reflect the number that have earned an award after “150%” of normal time, or three years for Associate degree seeking students.

Over most of the past ten years, MCC’s graduation rate had been around 13%. Recent changes to policy and practice have resulted in several cohorts achieving higher rates, with a high of 18% for the 2010 cohort. Adding a fourth year to the time period (200%) increased the Fa10 cohort’s graduation rate from 18% at 3 years, to 23% after four years.

Community Colleges complement graduation rates by measuring how many students in these cohorts, after three years, had transferred to another higher education institution, or were still enrolled at their starting institution. Among students in the 2011 cohort who had not earned an MCC degree, 25% had transferred and 22% were still enrolled at MCC.

CREDIT-FREE ENROLLMENT SUMMARY

Credit-free offerings represent an important part of MCC’s efforts to meet our mission. The College’s Continuing Education Division provides programs relevant to changing community needs and promotes the college as a focus of life-long learning. Measuring the enrollments of credit-free courses requires a different set of measures than what we use to count credit enrollments.

o Credit-free counts both “seat registrations” and unduplicated headcount, but not FTEs. Since credit-free courses vary in the number of hours or meetings, counting seats allows us to better capture the level of activity, and unduplicated headcounts minimize the impact of students who take several classes within a program.

o Credit-free uses academic years as opposed to semesters or annualized counts. Credit-free offerings do not follow the traditional academic calendar, and using a full year enables us to better capture the level of activity.

Credit-free offerings include classes for personal enrichment, professional development, and custom training for business and industry.
