2013-14 Remedial Placement and Enrollment Report
For Presentation to theLegislative Committee on Education
July 15, 2014
Today’s Presentation
Setting the stage Creating a culture of completion
in Nevada White House commitment
Reporting changes Remediation Rates -- Not the same
old story you’ve heard before
New metric for measuring success Gateway course completions

Creating a Culture of Completion
3
The Skills Gap By 2020, 58% of jobs in Nevada will require a career
certificate or college degree Only 28% of young adults in Nevada have an associate’s
degree or higher 30% skills gap
Ensuring that students are prepared for the rigors of college level coursework remains one of NSHE’s greatest challenges
One key to remediation is to get it done quickly and get students in the college level course in their first year of enrollment
White House Summit
4
Nevada is committed to achieving a significant increase in the number of college students assigned to remediation completing college level math and English their first year, recognizing that most of these students will need additional academic support. Completion of
these gateway courses will lead to many more students completing their
degrees.
December 2013 Summit on increasing access and success in higher education among low-income students
NSHE’s Commitment to the Obama Administration
Reporting Changes
Imperfect, but the best we had
Remedial rates based on enrollment – not placement Prior availability of data limited the reporting to enrollment
Nevada Revised Statutes 396.548 required enrollment reporting to capture the cost of remediation
Enrollment rates vary for any number of reasons, including the number of available sections, delivery agreements between institutions, etc.
Enrollment rate captured students who enrolled in summer and fall only – many students defer enrollment to spring and beyond
Enrollment rate historically captured remedial courses only, not co-requisite/stretch courses, skills labs, or enrollment at another NSHE institution

Fewer students enrolling in remedial courses does not mean fewer students need remediation. 7
Reporting Changes
New and Improved Methodology Remedial rates based on placement
The percent of students “placed” into a remedial English and/or mathematics course in summer, fall or spring immediately following high school graduation based on the institutions’ placement protocols
Students who are “placed” into a remedial course may not immediately enroll the course
New method captures students who need remediation (based on placement), not just those who enroll in a remedial course
8
Reporting Changes
Providing a broader picture . . . including enrollment rates Captures all the remedial enrollment options
Remedial courses Skills labs, co-requisite/stretch courses and technical courses – not
captured in the historical methodology
Captures students enrolled in ANY lab or course at ANY institution To eliminate the effects of “swirling” on enrollment rates the new
methodology captures students placed at one institution who have chosen to enroll in a remedial course at another NSHE institution -- first enrollments only captured
Rate includes recent high school graduates enrolled in summer, fall or spring

Lessons Learned
Important to take the time to ask if the data is answering the question Enrollment rates alone will not tell the whole story Placement rates alone will not tell the whole story More is better
Too soon to tell what this change in methodology really means for our institutions One year’s worth of placement and enrollment
data is NOT ENOUGH
Data is great, but not sufficient Listening to institutional stories

Impacts on Graduating Students
Students who complete the gateway course in mathematics in the first two years of enrollment are significantly more likely to graduate.
22
Gateway Course Completions
Shifting focus Gateway course completion
Graduating students
More work to be done Deeper dive in examining institutional placement
protocols is needed
Getting students to complete the gateway course in the first year of enrollment – critical to success
