Enrollment and Performance at Holyoke Community College (A report prepared for School Principals and Superintendents)
Purpose and Content: The purpose of this report is to help area school superintendents and principals better understand college readiness, enrollment, performance, and persistence patterns of
students who graduate from their schools and subsequently enroll at Holyoke Community College. In order to provide some frame of reference for understanding data specific to your own high
school, several of the sections include data for All HCC students and/or All Recent High School graduates. In order to protect the confidentiality of student records, no data are presented for items
when data exist for fewer than 6 students.
Data Sources: For the most part, data presented in this report have been collected from HCC's administrative database and/or the longitudinal files maintained by HCC's Office of Institutional
Research. The National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) is the source for transfer data (i.e., data regarding HCC students' subsequent enrollment at other institutions). Participation in the NSC is
voluntary and not all institutions participate. As a result, data collected may not accurately reflect all transfer activity. Data are presented in six sections:

Report for School Principals and Superintendents: Spring 2015 Glossary of Terms
The following definitions may be useful for understanding/interpreting the charts and tables in the report:
Fall-to-Spring Retention Rate – percent of students enrolled in the Fall who enrolled in the subsequent Spring semester; Not adjusted for graduates or transfers.
Status at 3 years/4 years - for the purposes of the "status" charts on page 5, students are coded as only one of the following: graduate, transfer, still enrolled, leaver,
where "statuses" are given priority in that order. For example, a student who entered HCC in the Fall 2009, completed a degree in June 2011, then transferred to UMass is
counted in these charts as a "graduate."
Transfer - transfer information presented in Section VI is based on the first transfer for all students who entered HCC as a "Recent High School Graduate" during any
Fall semester between 2009 and 2013. That is, a student who was enrolled at HCC as a recent high school graduate in Fall 2009, transferred to STCC in Fall 2011, and
then transferred to UMASS Amherst in Spring 2012, is counted as a transfer to STCC.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Enrollment – students enrolled in one or more credit bearing course as of the college’s official “freeze” date (i.e., on or before October 15th
for Fall semesters, and on or
before February 28th
for Spring semesters).
Recent High School Graduates – students who graduated from high school during the 12 months prior to the start of the Fall semester. Percentages of recent high school
graduating classes that enrolled at HCC are based on the total number of recent high school graduates enrolled and the total number of students who graduated from the
high school as reported by school officials contacted by HCC’s Office of Admissions.
Developmental Placements – "need" for developmental level courses in Math and English are determined by scores on the Accuplacer exam - a standardized
Computerized Placement Test (CPT). For both Math and English, the placement data presented in this report are based on placement into any of the developmental levels
offered.
Grade Point Average (GPA) – based on a 4-pt scale (A=4, A-=3.75, etc.); GPA calculations DO NOT include grades associated with Developmental Level courses.
Course Completion Rate – the total number of "successful" course outcomes divided by the total number of course enrollments; "Successful outcome" is defined as a
final grade of C- or better in Developmental Level and ESL courses, and D- or better in all other courses; "Course enrollments" include all registrations for all classes as
of "end of term".
