2012-13 Reporting
Going forward, skills certificate counts will be used in reporting for Complete College America goals,
NSHE accountability metrics, and in future iterations of the NSHE Performance Pool.
12
Shifting GearsPromoting Student Completion through Policy
60/120 Credit Policy Limiting the number of credits for an associates or bachelor’s
degree to 60 and 120 credits, respectively
Low Yield Policy Requiring institutions to review programs on a regular
basis in the context of degree productivity. Institutions must develop a plan for increasing productivity or eliminate the low-yield program
Excess Credit Policy Tough love policy – charging students a 50 percent surcharge
if they accumulate more than 150 percent of the credits required for their degree program
13
Performance Based Funding
Shifting the focus from enrollment to graduation through funding
Base Formula driven by course completions
Performance Pool with metrics focused on graduating students
14
Are NSHE Institutions Affordable?It Depends . . . .
Factors in Affordability The Price Tag
o Tuition and Fees, Room and Board
Student/Family Ability to Payo Family Income
Institutional Supporto Financial Aid
Historically, discussions on tuition and fees of NSHE
institutions focused on the price tag as compared to the prices in
the regional western United States.

College Participation Rates for Students from Low Income Families in Nevada
Getting better, but not good enough . . . . the national rate for college participation among students from low income families
was 39.4% in 2012, Nevada ranked 44th among states at 28.6%.
In these difficult economic times, access and affordability must be maintained.

How Accessible are Nevada’s Access Institutions?
22
Access and AffordabilityAs Nevada focuses increasingly on creating policies to
encourage degree completion, it is becoming more and more apparent that financial aid policy cannot be considered in isolation from other state policies and practices. Likewise, it seems clear that a consistent
state-wide policy to ensure that all students have the chance to attend college will have the greatest positive effect on student completion rates. Nevada students need a clear commitment from the State to provide a stable and adequate source of funding for need-based financial aid to ensure access for low income students.

Benefits include: Progress from freshman to
sophomore status after first year More likely to graduate Pay less in tuition and living
expenses Gain additional years of earnings Free up limited classroom space
