330C: All Cohort Students Who Earned Their First Associate Degree
Number of students in the cohort who earned their first associate degree in the system in the selected year
Value Type
Unduplicated count of students
Data Source(s)
Chancellor's Office Management Information System
Metric will not be displayed on the dashboard but will be used as a denominator
Units earned while a student was enrolled as a special admit (dual enrollment) will be included in the sum of units accumulated for this metric
Since enrollment is not required in the selected year when a student earns the associate degree, demographic info is used from the most recent term of enrollment at the institution level anywhere in the system regardless of whether or not that is the same college where the student earned the AA/AS. For gender and ethnicity, if the most recent enrollment is in the same term at different institutions and there is conflicting information, then assign the student to the "multiple values reported" category. For the 2022-23 build, the "multiple values reported" subgroup will be calculated but always suppressed. Since students in that subgroup are more likely to have conflicting student records, there is the possibility that results for multiple students are aggregated into one student especially when a regional or statewide selection is made, values are possibly inflated for that subgroup.
