Data Source(s)

Chancellor's Office Management Information System

Information displayed will continue to be updated for this metric as students are found to meet the criteria in the metric definition. Since the timeframe for data collection to construct this metric within this cohort view is still open, the data displayed for these metrics will continue to be updated.
To align to the SCFF definition for completion, the student has to be enrolled in the selected year at any college in the district.
For FY2019-20 SCFF, if a student earns multiple awards in a year, that student is only counted once for the attainment of the highest level of award, which is considered to be an associate degree for transfer. Therefore, the student count for this metric will NOT match with SCFF counts if there are students who are excluded from this category because they earned award in higher levels.
Students who have earned multiple Chancellor's Office Approved Certificates are counted once and deduplicated
Does not include local awards
The Vision Goals include Chancellor's Office certificates with 12 to fewer than 18 semester units (or SP02 = B) and certificates with 8 to fewer than 16 units (SP02 = M). However, the Student Centered Funding Formula does not include B or M. The metric here is aligning to the Vision Goals.
"N" was added in summer 2019 for Certificate requiring 16 to fewer than 30 semester units
"M" was added in summer 2019 for Certificate requiring 8 to fewer than 16 semester units
