North Carolina Community College System Critical Success Factors Performance Measures And Standards

According to the North Carolina System Office, “The Performance Measures for Student Success Report is the North Carolina Community College System’s major accountability document. This annual performance report is based on data compiled during the previous year and serves to inform colleges and the public on the performance of our 58 community colleges.”

The System Office formed a Performance Measures Committee in 2010 to develop new performance- based student success measures. The work of the committee resulted in new performance-based student success measures which were implemented in 2013. A three-year review process was established in order to keep the measures and methods of evaluation current. In March of 2015, the committee presented seven measures to the State Board: Recommendations from the most recent review were approved in 2018 resulting in the following updated measures.

Measure	Excellence Level
1. Basic Skills Student Progress	50.6%
2. Student Success Rate in College-Level English Courses	66.6%
