North Carolina Community College System
2020 Performance Measures for Student Success
The Performance Measures for Student Success Report is the North Carolina Community College System’s major accountability document. This annual report is based on data compiled from the previous year and serves to inform colleges and the public on the performances of the 58 community colleges. In 2010, President Scott Rawls established a Performance Measures Committee to develop new performance-based student success measures to go into effect in 2013. In November 2011, the State Board formally approved the eight Performance Measures. These measures were then submitted to the General Assembly by March 2012 and later adopted in June 2012 through Section 8.5 of S.L. 2012-142. The results shown in the North Carolina Community College System’s 2020 Performance Measures for Student Success, are as follows.
