AAS: Associate of Arts in Science   

AC: Advanced Certificate   

BC: Basic Certificate   

Enrollment: The number of new-to-CCC students enrolled and declared in the program for the first time in a given fall term. The students enrolled in the program in the specified academic term are designated as an enrollment cohort for that year. Subsequent reporting of outcomes (i.e., retention and completion) are based on enrollment cohort for that year.  

Retention: The percentage of the enrollment cohort who or re-enroll in the subsequent spring term during their first year. For students who are seeking a BC, retention is the completion of the program.    

Completion: The percentage of the enrollment cohort who completed their declared program within 150% of normal completion time. For students seeking an AAS degree or an AC, this is 3 years (6 semesters, excluding summers). For students seeking a BC, this is one year (2 semesters).
