Ohio SSI Community College Formula History, 2009-2015
FY 2015Elimination of enrollment component
Combination of course completion (50%), success points (25%) & completion metrics (25%) At-risk or access category application
No stop loss
FY 201450% enrollment + 25% course completion + 25% success points
97% stop loss
FY 2009-2013Primarily enrollment-based with inclusion of success points (5% to 10%)Stop Loss (99%-96%)
Background
Higher Education Funding Commission report and House Bill 59 charges:
At-Risk Factors
• …identify the socio-economic, demographic, academic, personal, and other factors that identify a student as being "at-risk" of academic failure….
• study the most appropriate formula weights to: “reward schools that are successful in educating non-traditional and at- risk student populations”
Success & Completion Measures
• …research the most appropriate success points and completion measures that occur during the academic career of community college students…
• Determine how funding shall be distributed among its success points, completion measures and course completion funding…
• Requirement to develop institutional completion plans
OACC Community College Funding Consultation Process
Began meeting in March 2013• Majority of institutions represented• Included representatives from the Ohio Board of Regents,
the Higher Education Funding Commission and the Ohio Office of Budget and Management
Facilitated by the OACC and HCM Strategists• Consultation from HCM provided through Lumina Strategy
Labs
Working group formed in August 2013• Developed formula framework & technical details• Recommendations presented to full consultation
Engagement of OACC Presidents• Presentation and discussion each month from
September to December 2013
FY 2015 Proposed Model: Guiding Principles
Multiple models were reviewed and evaluated based on data, policy implications, and the consultation’s guiding principles:oHold true to the mission and priorities of community colleges
including access, completion, quality, and workforce developmento Incentivize institutions to adopt evidence-based practices to help
them succeedo Include metrics grounded in student success research and best
practicesoAlign with state priorities and initiativesoBe simple to understand and communicateoDevelop a model that is sustainable, consistent, and reliable
FY 2015 Framework Summary
Cost-Based Course
Comple-tions*
50%
Success Points 25%
Cost-Based Completion
Milestones* 25%
*Access Categories Applied
• Adult (age 25 and over at time of enrollment)
• Low-Income, Pell Eligible (ever in college career)
• Minority (African American, Hispanic, Native American)
All data averaged over three years
Component 1: Course Completion (50%)
Cost-Based Calculation• Average statewide cost based on level of course and subject
area (aggregation of CIP codes)• # of FTE who pass course * determined cost
Access category weight:15% for any student with one (or more) risk factors
Component 2: Success Points (25%)
Developmental Education Success• # of Students completing developmental
education Math and enrolling in first college-level math course (1 point)
• # of Students completing developmental education English & enrolling in first college-level English course (1 point)
12 Credit Hours• # of students earning first 12
college-level credits (1 point)
24 Credit Hours• # of students earning first 24
college-level credits (1 point)
36 Credit Hours• # of students earning first 36
college-level credits (1 point)
Component 3: Completion Milestones (25%)
Associate Degree
Completions
Certificate Completions
Transfer w/12+ credit
hours
Cost-Based Model
Access Category Weights:25% for one access category
66% for two access categories150% for three access categories
Access Categories for Weighting Course Completions and Completion Milestones
FY 15 Access Categories: Adult - 25 and older at enrollmentLow-income - Pell-eligible (ever)
Minority: American Indian, Hispanic, African American
Policy: Focus on student background, not enrollment status (e.g. part-time, enrollment in developmental education courses)
Narrow-In: Correlation between factors & policy informed recommended final categories
Significance: How much less likely are students from these groups to complete/graduate compared to students not from group
Data run to determine significance related to graduation and course completion
Aligned with Data or Potential Proxies (9 in total)
Colleges submitted suggested populations (15 distinct categories)
Completion Milestones (COMPLETION)(% of total cost-based completion milestones earned + % of total completion
milestones access add-on earned) *25% of FY 2015 Allocation)
Success Points (PROGRESSION/MOMENTUM)(% share success points earned * 25% FY 2015 Allocation)
Course Completion (ENTRY)(% of (total cost-based Completed FTE Earned + % of total completed
FTE Access Add-on Earned) * 50% of FY 2015 Allocation)
Review of Distribution MethodA proportional distribution model for each component is utilized, consistent with prior methods. Institutions receive a proportional share of the total earned across each component.
Fiscal Year 2016-17 Formula
Process for FY 2016-17
Work group began meeting again in March 2014 and followed the same process with regular updates to the full consultation and OACC Presidents. A guiding principle of the work for the FY 2016 framework development was to maintain as much consistency as possible from the FY 2015 funding model and support institutions in understanding the formula and evaluating the outcomes. The OACC has engaged HCM Strategists for ongoing facilitation support as well as institutional data analysis.
Recommendations for FY 2016-17
Data SSI models have traditionally used projected data for distributions of first-half fiscal year allocations. With inclusion of additional metrics and measures like access populations, projections become more difficult and could result in inaccurate modeling and estimates.
Course completions: The model will continue to use most recent three-year average for course completions. This variable relates most directly to enrollment volume, which has direct current cost implications for institutions.
Success Points & Completion Milestones: The model will use an additional year lagged three-year average for success points and completion milestones.
Projection & Reporting Guidelines: The OACC will work to provide institutions with guidelines and considerations for developing projections for course completions.
Recommendations for FY 2016-17, continued
Add Academic Preparation Access Category Establish HEI reporting process for placement scores Align to Ohio Remediation Free Standards
Short-term certificates and certificates of value Continue to establish common definitions and data collection
processes for short-term certificates (less than 1-year) Seek alternative funding stream
Next Steps: Evaluate & Refine
Additional Policy Issues: Evaluate existing model to understand relation to additional policy priorities and goals. Such as:
Course equivalents/Prior Learning Assessment Dual Enrollment Job placement/workforce training Adjusted allocation across components
Continuous Improvement & Best Practices Support institutions in the evaluation of student outcomes Identify and share best practices for student success Evaluate and refine the formula to ensure fairness and
alignment with statewide priorities and goals
