Defining Standard Post-Traditional Student Success Metrics
Non-first time, non-full-time students are becoming the norm in higher education. Yet most colleges don’t track their success rates. UPCEA and InsideTrack surveyed adult-focused programs across the country and found that only 57 percent track retention and 23 percent track completion for post-traditional students.
The primary challenge is the lack of a standard measurement and reporting mechanism. As accreditors and regulators increasingly incorporate student outcomes into their evaluation procedures, the higher education community is coming together to develop a standard approach for measuring adult student success.
