Value Type
Average units and unduplicated counts
Data Source(s)
Chancellor's Office Management Information System
All prior units earned as a special admit student for any student included in the cohort, who started as a general admit student in a primary term of the selected year at the selected locale, will be included.
Information displayed for incomplete years will continue to be updated for this metric as students are found to meet the criteria in the metric definition.
For display on the dashboard, only semester unit buckets will be displayed at the Statewide, Macroregion, and Microregion levels. At the college district and the college level, data displayed will be either in semester units for colleges and/or districts on semesters or in quarter units for colleges and/or districts on quarters.
This metric in the cohort view, which is an average of units earned by students in the cohort, is very different than the 405Sx metric in the snapshot view which displays number of students by unit buckets.
Includes enrollments at all community colleges for each student
Incomplete grades are included in Course Success and Completed Transfer Level Math and English in the District in the First Year but are not included in Earned Nine or More Career Education Units Within the District in a Single Year, Successfully Completed Unit Thresholds in Fall Term, Successfully Completed Unit Thresholds in the Selected Year, and Average Number of Units Accumulated by Associate Degree Earners, due to how the underlying data elements are constructed.
