Student Enrollments and CompletionsFiscal Year 2005

INTRODUCTION

The colleges in the Illinois Community College System submit detailed credit student records twice during each fiscal year. Fall openingenrollment (E1) data for credit-generating students are recorded by the colleges at the end of the regular fall registration period, which is usuallythe 10th day of the term. Annual student enrollment and completion (A1) data are reported for individuals who are officially enrolled at thecollege in credit coursework at any time during the fiscal year. An A1 record is also submitted for students who graduate, but are not officiallyenrolled during the year. Additionally, The N1 submission includes data on students enrolled in noncredit courses. Since fiscal year 1999, theIllinois Community College System has been using a noncredit enrollment database to house demographic and course information on the widerange of noncredit instruction provided annually. Previously, between fiscal year 1994 and 1998, only aggregate noncredit enrollment data wasgathered through the use of an annual survey. During the transition period (1999 through 2002), both detailed data (N1) and aggregate data(internet survey) were gathered. In fiscal year 2003, the transition to the N1 data system as the source of noncredit information was complete.

Fall enrollment data provide a point-in-time or "snapshot" of opening fall term enrollment allowing year-to-year and institution-to-institutioncomparisons and are comparable to fall enrollment data in postsecondary institutions nationwide. Looking at the fall and annual data for fiscalyear 2005 shows the substantial differences in coverage of these submissions for Illinois community colleges. During the fall term included infiscal year 2005, there were 363,204 students enrolled in credit coursework in public community colleges at the start of the semester. Duringthe entire fiscal year of 2005, a total of 698,971 students took credit coursework at the colleges. Hence, the beginning fall term enrollment datacaptures just 52.0 percent of all the credit students who attended a community college during the entire fiscal year of 2005. Stated another way,community college annual enrollments are nearly twice as large as the fall credit opening enrollments reflect. In the noncredit arena, thedifferences are even more pronounced as fall noncredit data only accounted for 32.5 percent of the annual 2005 noncredit enrollments. Hence,annual data more fully show the community college system’s impact.

The diversity of the community college system and its students are best captured in annual student enrollment and completion records. Students"stop in and out" of college according to their individual needs and may not always be enrolled at the beginning of a fall semester. The increasein module classes within traditional semesters adds to the complexity of tabulating student enrollments at any given point-in-time. Additionally,with elevated emphasis on student outcomes and program effectiveness, analyses of student completions have become increasingly important.Therefore, this report focuses on annual enrollment and completion data to provide the most comprehensive information available.

This year’s report is based on fiscal year 2005 enrollments and completions. Comparative information is supplied from four previous fiscal years(2001-2004). Detailed tables comparing fiscal year 2004 and fiscal year 2005 credit headcount, full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments, andgraduates by college are included. FTE enrollments in this report are based on all credit hours attempted (including nonreimbursable credithours).

Detailed comparisons of fiscal year 2001 through fiscal year 2005unduplicated credit and noncredit headcount enrollments for each communitycollege are provided in Appendix tables A-1 and B-1, respectively.

As depicted in Figure 1, credit-generating students account for 73.0 percentof the overall fiscal year 2005 headcount. An examination of the five-yearperiod indicates that the proportion of credit-generating students increasedabout 5 percent since fiscal year 2001, when the proportion of credit-generating students was 68 percent of the overall student population. Therewas a sizable noncredit enrollment decrease from fiscal year 2001 to 2002followed by a limited rebound in 2003. Short- and especially long-termnoncredit enrollments are trending downward.

Statewide, 30,928 students of the 957,051 total enrolled in both credit andnoncredit courses during fiscal year 2005 (A1 and N1). While there is someoverlap, these data suggest that credit and noncredit courses are meetinglargely different student and community needs.

Table A-1 in the appendix provides a comparison of fiscal year 2001 throughfiscal year 2005 headcount enrollments for each community college. Overthe last year among the 48 community colleges, 18 colleges experienceincreases in headcount while 20 exhibited decreases since fiscal year 2004.Ten colleges experienced little or no change (1.0 percent or less) duringfiscal year 2005. Table A-2 contains a comparison of FTE enrollments forfiscal years 2001 through 2005. Over the last year, 31 colleges experiencedincreases in FTE, 14 experienced decreases, and 11 colleges experiencedlittle or no FTE change.

Male/Female DistributionThe male/female distribution of students typically fluctuates little from yearto year. Females comprised 55.6 percent of the student population in fiscalyear 2005. The percentage of male students has averaged 44.3 percent overthe past five years (see Table A-3).

Ethnic OriginIn fiscal year 2005, just over one-third (35.5 percent) of those participatingin credit coursework in community colleges were minority (non-white)students. Minority representation remained virtually the same from fiscalyear 2004 to fiscal year 2005. Similarly, during the past five years,minorities have comprised an average of just over one-third (35.7 percent)of the student population. Latino students (now numbering 108,397) becamethe largest minority group in 2000, followed by African American students(now numbering 103,084). In fiscal year 2005, the number of AfricanAmerican students enrolled in Illinois community colleges increased by 1.6percent and the number of Latino students enrolled decreased by 1.3 percent(see Table A-4).

Student AgeIn fiscal year 2005, the average age of the Illinois community college studentwas 30.8 years, slightly younger than in fiscal year 2004. The median agewas 26.1 years, again slightly younger than last year. The largest proportionof students (23.6 percent) were between age 17 through 20, an increase of2.0 percent over fiscal year 2004. The second largest proportion of students(21.4 percent) was age 21 through 24, a decrease of 0.2 percent over fiscalyear 2004. The third largest proportion of students (18.5 percent) were 40through 55 years of age, a decrease of 0.8 percent over fiscal year 2004.During fiscal year 2005, 15.0 percent of students were age 31 through 39 and15.7 percent were age 25 through 30. Always the smallest in size, the 16 andunder age group grew substantially (13.2 percent), but still represented only1.2 percent of the student population in fiscal year 2005 (see Table A-5).

Summary of Enrollments by Instructional Program AreaThe baccalaureate/transfer program is the largest instructional programoffered in the Illinois Community College System. Statewide, enrollment inthis program area has increased 3.3 percent over the past year and 16.8percent from fiscal year 2001 to 2005.

Career and technical education programs are the second largest creditprogram in the Illinois Community College System. Career and technicaleducation enrollments have increased only slightly at 0.1 percent over lastyear and 7.6 percent over the most recent five-year period. In the past year,enrollment in vocational skills programs decreased by 2.4 percent andenrollment in general studies certificates decreased by 11.6 percent.Enrollment in general associate degree programs increased by 2.4 percent infiscal year 2005 (see Table A-6a).

Students enrolled in adult education courses comprised 17.3 percent of thecredit generating students in fiscal year 2005. Hence, nearly one out of fivecommunity college students is enrolled in adult education skills buildingcoursework. Statewide, there was a 4.6 percent decrease in adult educationenrollments over the previous year. In fiscal year 2005, 58.8 percent of thestudents in adult education were enrolled in English as a Second Language(ESL) courses. This is up slightly from 58.3 percent ESL students in fiscalyear 2004.

The City Colleges of Chicago account for 40.0 percent of statewidecommunity college adult education enrollment. Adult education enrollmentat the City Colleges of Chicago decreased compared to last year (-7.8percent). This coincides with the decrease in overall enrollment (-6.1percent) for the Chicago colleges. Excluding the City Colleges of Chicago,there was a 2.3 percent decrease in adult education enrollment in fiscal year2005 compared to last year. Hence, across the rest of the community collegesystem, there is less of a short term decrease in adult education enrollments.(see Table A-6a and A-6b).

Longer term, excluding the City Colleges of Chicago, the rest of the systemexperienced an overall increase in enrollments (8.4 percent) between 2001and 2005. Analysis of instructional program area information, excluding

City Colleges of Chicago data, produces mostly positive results. A moderateincrease was exhibited in baccalaureate/ transfer programs (15.8 percent)between fiscal years 2001 and 2005. Overall adult education enrollmentdecreased slightly 0.1 percent over the same five-year period. The generalassociate programs recorded 43.7 percent growth excluding the CityColleges of Chicago. There was a moderate increase (9.9 percent) in Careerand Technical Education program enrollment and a slight decrease (-0.3percent) in vocational skills program enrollment (see Table A-6b). WhileCareer and Technical Education credit enrollment has increased moderatelyduring this five-year period, the number of students enrolled in noncreditcourses, has decreased (-17.6 percent). A review of noncredit courseenrollments is provided in the next major section of this report.

Instructional Program Enrollments by Gender. During fiscal year 2005,females outnumbered males in all instructional areas; the career andtechnical education programs contained the highest proportion of malestudents (46.8 percent). The highest proportion of female students wereenrolled in the general associate degree program (61.3 percent) followed bythe general studies certificate program (58.9 percent). Thebaccalaureate/transfer program consisted of 57.4 percent female students,while 55.1 percent of those enrolled in vocational programs were female (seeTable A-7).

Instructional Program Enrollments by Racial/Ethnic Origin. Figure 2illustrates the distribution of minorities in the two largest program areas,baccalaureate/transfer and Career and Technical Education. An examinationof each racial/ethnic group's representation across program areas in fiscalyear 2005 indicates that the largest percentage of white (42.9 percent), Asian(43.2 percent), African American (39.8 percent), Native American (40.3percent), and Nonresident Alien students (38.4 percent) were enrolled inbaccalaureate/transfer programs. The highest percentage of Latino (46.2percent) students and were enrolled in English as a Second Languageprograms. Overall, minority students were least represented in thevocational skills (14.7 percent), general studies certificate (18.3 percent), andbaccalaureate/transfer (29.4 percent) areas (see Table A-8).

Instructional Program Enrollments by Age. During fiscal year 2005, 45.8percent of community college students were under 25 years of age. Morethan half (53.9 percent) of the students under 25 were enrolled inbaccalaureate/transfer programs. Almost one-third (30.4 percent) of thestudent population was between 25-39 years of age. Over thirty-one percent(31.3 percent) of Illinois' community college students in this age group wereenrolled in the Career and Technical Education program area, while nearlyone-third (30.1 percent) were enrolled in baccalaureate/transfer programs.More than one-fifth (22.9 percent) of Illinois' community college studentswere at least 40 years of age. Nearly one-third (31.7 percent) of students 40years of age and older were enrolled in Career and Technical Educationprograms. Students 40 years of age and older also had substantialenrollment in vocational skills (24.8 percent) and baccalaureate/transfer(21.4 percent) programs (see Table A-9).

Largest Occupational Programs. An examination of Career and TechnicalEducation curricula with at least 4,500 students enrolled during either of thelast two years revealed some changes in the top five curricula according toprogram size. With 14,338 students, Associate Degree Nursing remained thelargest program, as enrollment increased by 1.3 percent (178 students). ChildCare Provider/Assistant became the second largest program despite adecrease of 3.0 percent (246 students). Criminal Justice decreasedsubstantially (28.7 percent; 2,361 students) and dropped to the third largestprogram in 2005. Although experiencing a decrease of 6.0 percent (295students), Nurse Anesthetist became the fourth largest program in 2005.Although Business Administration & Management showed a substantialdecrease in enrollment of 23.4 percent ( 1,405 students), it remained the fifthlargest program (see Table A-10).

Instructional Program Enrollments by Intent. Intent data convey the primarygoal that the student wants to achieve as a result of his/her studies. Intentdata are self-reported by students when they initially enroll at the college.College staff are asked to require students to update this informationperiodically by providing a current intent, as well as entry intent. Anexamination of the intent data across program areas illustrates the diversityof student interests and needs that Illinois community colleges serve. Threegoals represented the aspirations of 60.1 percent of community collegestudents: 29.1 percent were preparing for transfer to a four-year institution,14.2 percent were improving their basic skills/preparing for the GED, and16.8 percent were preparing for a job immediately after community college.

Examination of student intent by program area reveals interestingobservations. With the exception of adult education, career and technicaleducation, and baccalaureate/transfer programs, less than half of the studentsin any program area were pursuing the particular goal most often associatedwith a given major. Only 56.3 percent of those students enrolled inbaccalaureate/transfer programs indicated they intended to transfer to a four-year institution. Similarly, just 61.2 percent of the students in occupationalprograms enrolled with the intent of preparing for a job after communitycollege or to improve their present job skills. About three-quarters (74.7percent) of the ABE/ASE and ESL students listed a desire to remedy basic


Page 5

skills deficiencies or to prepare for the GED test as their reason for enrollingin these programs (see Table A-11).

Instructional Program Enrollments by Degree Objective. Degree objectivedata are also self-reported and are designed to assist colleges in classifyingstudents by curriculum or course enrollee category. The objective conveysthe student's expected outcome from attending the community college. Infiscal year 2005, 52.1 percent of all students indicated that they wereenrolling with no intention of pursuing a degree — only to complete one orseveral courses. A review of student objectives by program area revealsexpected results: 59.0 percent of the baccalaureate/transfer students plannedto complete an associate degree, while 37.3 percent were interested incompleting one or several courses. Less than half (43.6 percent) of theCareer and Technical Education students indicated they expected tocomplete an associate degree, while 34.7 percent expected to complete oneor several courses. Approximately 21.8 percent wanted to complete acertificate. These data illustrate the variety of aspirations among studentsenrolled in community college Career and Technical Education programs.Many students complete an entire program, while others simply want toimprove their current skills or obtain new skills to enter a different career.Particularly in a strong economy, employers often do not require thecompletion of a formal certificate or degree, only that individuals acquirethe skills necessary to perform specific job duties. In ESL, general studies,ABE/ASE, and vocational programs, the vast majority (95.6; 97.1; 93.6; and94.7 percent respectively) of students planned only to complete one orseveral courses (see Table A-12).

Enrollment Hours by Term and Type of AttendanceMore than nine out of ten students (92.7 percent) attending during thesummer term of fiscal year 2005 were part-time (less than nine credit hours).Almost 71 percent of the students attended college on a part-time (less than12 credit hours) basis during the fall semester. The part-time proportion wasslightly higher (72.4 percent) in the spring. In a pattern not typical amonghigher education institutions, Illinois community colleges enrollment duringthe fall (417,389) and spring semesters (417,294) was similar (see Table A-13). Statewide, 237,360 students attended in both the fall and springsemesters.

Highest Degree Earned by Students Prior to AttendingCommunity College

The prior earned degree data reiterate that community colleges servediverse populations. Figure 3 illustrates the educational background of fiscalyear 2005 students. Among the 66.3 percent of students who reported theirprior degrees (excluding adult education students who would typically notpossess earned degrees), 17.8 percent earned some type of postsecondarycertificate or degree. More than 14 percent had already earned degrees at orbeyond the community college level (see Table A-14).

Attempted vs. Earned Credit HoursAt all colleges and universities, there are students who, for a variety ofreasons, are unable or unwilling to complete the requirements for theclass(es) in which they enroll. In fiscal year 2005, Illinois communitycollege students completed 5,565,356 credit hours, 75.8 percent of theirattempted hours. Overall, full-time students earned a higher percent ofattempted hours than did part-time students (see Table A-15).


Page 6

Accumulated College-Level Credit HoursOf the 485,315 students (nearly 70 percent) for whom data were available,about two-thirds (65.6 percent) had accumulated less than 30 college-levelhours (freshman level). About one-fifth (20.4 percent) had accumulatedbetween 30 to 59 credit hours (sophomore status), and 14.0 percent earned60 or more credit hours (See Table A-16).

Grade Point AveragesCumulative grade point average data were available for 66.4 percent ofthe students enrolled in fiscal year 2005. Approximately 82.8 percent ofthe students had grade point averages of 2.01 or higher, which is a “C”average or above. Slightly more than 36 percent had achieved grade pointaverages between 2.01 and 3.00 (“C” to “B”), while 46.5 percent hadachieved grade point averages in the 3.01 to 4.00 (“B” to “A”) range (seeTable A-17).

High School Graduation Percentile RankHigh school class rank was reported for 14.7 percent of the fiscalyear 2005 community college students. Of this population, 5.5 percentwere in the top tenth percentile of their graduating class, while 52.5percent graduated in the top half of their class (see Table A-18).

ACT Scores of Community College StudentsACT score data were available for 13.8 percent of the students enrolled infiscal year 2005. Approximately 61 percent of the students received a 19 orhigher on the ACT exam. A minimum of 18 on the ACT exam is typicallyrequired for acceptance into many colleges or universities. For those fiscalyear 2005 students from whom data were gathered, the average ACT scorewas 19.9. The median score was 20.0 (see Table A-19).

Remedial/Developmental EnrollmentDuring fiscal year 2005 an average of 20.7 percent of students enrolled inIllinois Community Colleges – not enrolled in ABE/ASE/ESL, VocationalSkills or General Studies – took at least one developmental course (102,566).This represents a slight decrease of 0.9 percent since fiscal year 2004 whenthere were 103,542 remedial students. Over the most recent five-year period(2001-2005) the percent of students enrolled in at least one developmentalcourse has remained very stable (see Table A-21). Nationwide, accordingto the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, 23.2 percent of thestudents enrolled in two-year public institutions took at least onedevelopmental course (fiscal year 2000).

During fiscal year 2005 Illinois Community College System students earnedalmost two-thirds (63.3 percent) of the remedial credits they attempted. Thisis a decrease from fiscal year 2004 when students earned 66.8 percent ofremedial credits attempted. Over the five year period of 2001 to 2005, thepercent of remedial credits earned rose from 61.2 percent in 2001 to 66.8percent in 2004, but then declined to 63.3 percent in 2005 (see Table A-22).

FISCAL YEAR 2005 STUDENT NONCREDIT COURSE ENROLLMENTS

Student Noncredit Course Enrollment by Community CollegeIllinois community colleges provide a wide range of noncredit instruction tomeet a variety of community needs. Table 3 contains comparative noncreditenrollment data for the last five years. Fiscal year 1994 was the first year inwhich annual noncredit course enrollment data were collected. Note thatnoncredit course enrollment figures for fiscal year 2001 is the higher valueof information generated by the Noncredit Course Enrollment Datasubmission (N1) or the Annual Noncredit Enrollment Survey. Beginning infiscal year 2002, data are from the Noncredit Course Enrollment database(N1) which includes an individual records for each student.

Fiscal year 2005 is the seventh year that the Illinois Community CollegeSystem has undertaken data collection through a noncredit course enrollmentdatabase (N1). The transition period from the paper survey to the databaseis complete.

During fiscal year 2005, Illinois community colleges conducted 27,825noncredit course sections, about 5.5 percent more than the previous year.This number of course offerings was still well below the number offered infiscal year 2001. From fiscal year 2001 to fiscal year 2005, the total numberof course sections offered through the colleges decreased 14.0 percent.

Despite a decrease in course offerings over the past five years, noncreditofferings continue to be an important part of college efforts to meetcommunity and employer needs. Figure 4 indicates that student enrollmentshave decreased slightly since last fiscal year. During fiscal year 2005, theunduplicated noncredit headcount (in which students are counted only once,regardless of the number of noncredit courses in which they enroll)decreased 0.9 percent. Over a longer time frame, unduplicated noncreditheadcounts have decreased 17.6 percent over the last five fiscal years. Theduplicated headcount (also known as “seatcount”) during fiscal year 2005was 1.2 percent lower than the previous fiscal year and 17.6 percent lowerthan five years earlier.

The number of noncredit course offerings and enrollments at the communitycolleges often varies from year to year, depending on the needs of thesurrounding communities. Comparisons of fiscal year 2001 through fiscalyear 2005 noncredit headcount enrollments and course sections conductedfor each community college are provided in Appendix Tables B-1, B-2, andB-3.

Reasons for the recent declines in noncredit activity and participation varyby locality. Part of the reason for these declines may be the overalleconomic climate in the state. The state’s economy has been in arecessionary period over the last four years including a sizable part of fiscalyear 2005. Some individuals and businesses have fewer discretionary fundsand are searching for ways to cut their expenses. The latest economic news


Page 8

shows that the Illinois economy is improving. We will monitor the data tosee if this contributes to increases in noncredit enrollments for fiscal year2006 in next year’s report Additionally, selected colleges may still beencountering some resistence from participants in noncredit courses aboutproviding complete information to create the Noncredit Course EnrollmentData submission (N1). Likewise, noncredit coursework is offered bymultiple entities within each college. While some parts of the college havebeen quick to gather the needed information for the noncredit database, othersegments of the college that deliver noncredit courses may not be collectingthe necessary information and are therefore missing from the counts in fiscalyear 2005. Records were not added to the noncredit database unless thecategory of activity information was supplied – business/industry contract;professional/vocational development; personal/ social development; andyouth programs. Overall, the noncredit database is a movement towardmore stringent and detailed reporting.

Fig. 4. Noncredit Course Enrollments, FY2001-2005

Characteristics of Noncredit StudentsCollege officials are recognized for the substantial effort they put intocollecting these detailed data on noncredit students. Due to extensive workby college officials, sufficient information is available to provide additionalinformation about the characteristics of the students enrolled in noncreditcoursework at community colleges in fiscal year 2005. Yet, there tends to bemore unknown/unreported information in the noncredit submission than inthe credit submission. Cited percentages among noncredit enrollments arebased on the reported (known) data. Student characteristic information isbased on unduplicated counts. Information pertaining to course offerings isbased on duplicated counts, since course attributes change.

Noncredit Student Gender. Similar to the distribution for credit programs,female students accounted for 57.2 percent of 2005 noncredit enrollmentsfor which gender data were reported. Approximately 15.5 percent of studentsdid not provide gender data. Gender data by category of activity show thatmost missing gender information was among individuals enrolled in personaland social development courses (see Table B-4).

Noncredit Student Ethnic Origin. Racial/ethnic reporting among noncreditstudents was less complete than among credit students, as nearly one-third(29.2 percent) of noncredit records were missing racial/ethnic data. Minoritystudents accounted for nearly one-quarter (21.9 percent) of the individualsenrolled in noncredit programs who supplied racial/ethnic data. In creditprograms during the past five years, minorities accounted for an average ofabout one-third of the student population. Available noncredit data indicatedthe following racial/ethnic distribution: White(78.1 percent), AfricanAmerican (9.2 percent), Latino (8.2 percent), Asian (3.6 percent), Alien (0.7percent), and Native American (0.3 percent) (see Table B-5).

Noncredit Student Age. Based on available data, the average age of studentsenrolled in noncredit coursework during fiscal year 2005 was 37.6 years andthe median age was 37.1 years. Age information was missing for just overone-quarter (25.4 percent) of noncredit students. As depicted in Figure 5,


Page 9

available data indicated that during 2005 noncredit programming served amore mature clientele than credit courses. One-half (50.4 percent) ofnoncredit students were 40 years of age or older. One-third (33.1 percent)of noncredit students were age 40 to 55 and another 27.8 percent were age25 to 39. Just over one-fifth (21.9 percent) of noncredit students were under25 years of age (see Table B-6).

Noncredit Category of Activity (Duplicated)For state reporting purposes, noncredit coursework is grouped into fourbroad categories: Business and Industry Contract, Professional/VocationalDevelopment, Personal and Social Development, and Youth Programs.Records were not added to the database unless the category of activityinformation was supplied. Duplicated noncredit enrollment counts are usedin the category of activity information depicted in Figure 6 (also see TableB-12).

Based on a duplicated count, 56.3 percent of the noncredit offerings were inthe personal and social development category. Personal and socialdevelopment programming is an important community service provided bythe colleges. Typically, these courses are offered as long as demand issufficient to at least cover the cost of course delivery. Nearly one-third (28.8percent) of the noncredit coursework was dedicated to developing workplaceskills: professional/vocational (19.0 percent) and business and industrycontractual training (9.8 percent). These courses meet the needs of arearesidents who are interested in acquiring specific new skills without earningacademic credit. Providing customized training is an important economicdevelopment activity in which colleges tailor instruction to the specificneeds of local employers. Illinois Community Colleges are relied uponextensively to develop and deliver coursework addressing the uniquetraining requirements of area businesses, industries, and governmentorganizations. The remaining 15.0 percent helped serve the needs of youthin the community (i.e., academic enrichment activities, athletic skillsbuilding, study skills, etc.).


Page 10

Largest Noncredit Offerings (Duplicated)Two-digit classification of instructional program (CIP) codes provideadditional information about the areas where noncredit instruction wereprovided. Percentages cited are based on known CIP codes.

Across all categories of activity, eight programs (two-digit CIP) had over7,000 noncredit students enrolled. These eight program areas accounted fornearly two-thirds (65.8 percent) of the students enrolled in noncredit courseswhere CIP data were reported. Over one-third (35.0 percent) of theenrollments accounted for in Figure 7 are in work-related programs:business management (17.6 percent), transportation workers (9.9 percent),health professions (3.8 percent) and computer information systems (3.7percent). The two largest programs, each enrolling over 60,000 studentswere in the following areas: leisure and recreation (33.2 percent) and selfimprovement (25.1 percent). Basic skill development accounted for 3.4percent of those enrolled in these eight programs (see Table B-7).

Noncredit Term of Attendance (Duplicated)Term of enrollment was provided for all noncredit coursework for fiscal year2005 (see Table B-9). The distribution of enrollments by term was as

follows: Spring (40.2 percent), Fall (32.5 percent), Summer (25.5 percent),and Winter (1.8 percent). Overall, the distribution is similar to fiscal year2005 credit offerings with somewhat higher summer noncredit activity andlower fall noncredit enrollments.

Noncredit Enrollment Distribution by Site/Location (Duplicated)For state reporting purposes, five broad instructional site locations have beenidentified: Main Campus, Off-campus College Owned, Off-campus CollegeLeased, Community Based and Business Based. Acquiring more completeinformation about community college facility utilization and needs was oneof the underlying reasons for collecting more detailed noncredit data.Complete data were available on the instructional site and Figure 8 showsthat most enrollment occurred on main college campuses (See Table B-8).

Further information about the differences between the categories follows.Community-based sites are rented or leased, with site maintenance andupkeep the responsibility of the organization furnishing the space. Off-campus college-leased sites are controlled by the college, with sitemaintenance and upkeep the responsibility of the college. Off-campuscollege-owned facilities are college-controlled branch or extension centersites located away from the main campus. Business-based sites are providedby businesses who contract for training services.

FISCAL YEAR 2005 COMPLETIONS

Degrees and Certificates Awarded by Community College The number of collegiate-level degrees and certificates awarded to Illinoiscommunity college students in fiscal year 2005 totaled 51,444. Table 4contains comparative completion data for the last five years. The number ofdegrees and certificates awarded increased by 7.2 percent over fiscal year2004. Compared to fiscal year 2001, the total number of fiscal year 2005completions increased 33.9 percent.

Table C-1 in the appendix provides a comparison of fiscal year 2001 throughfiscal year 2005 duplicated completions for each community college.Compared to last year, among the 48 colleges, 33 experienced

increases in degree and certificate awards, while 11 exhibited decreases inthe past year. Four colleges experienced little or no change.

Degrees and Certificates Awarded by Program CategoriesOf the 51,444 completions during fiscal year 2005, 70.0 percent were Careerand Technical Education degrees or certificates. Baccalaureate/transferdegrees accounted for 28.0 percent of all the collegiate-level completions. Among these baccalaureate/transfer degrees (see Table C-2), the associatein arts degree was most commonly awarded (61.1 percent). Almost onethird (30.9 percent) of the baccalaureate/transfer degrees earned wereassociate in science degrees. The proportion of AA degrees granted hasbeen remarkably stable over the past five years. The total number ofbaccalaureate/transfer degrees awarded increased 2.8 percent from last fiscalyear. Overall, the number of baccalaureate/transfer degrees awarded in fiscalyear 2005 increased moderately from fiscal year 2001 (12.3 percent).

An examination of the Career and Technical Education degrees andcertificates awarded in fiscal year 2005 indicates that 27.0 percent wereassociate in applied science degrees (Table C-2). More than one-half (56.5percent) of the completions were for Career and Technical Educationcertificates of less than one year. Overall Career and Technical Educationcompletions are up 8.9 percent from last year. There was a moderatedecrease in the number of vocational skills certificates awarded in fiscal year2005 (56 graduates). Longer term, a comparison of fiscal year 2005 Careerand Technical Education completions to those awarded five years earlierreveals that the total number of awards increased by 46.2 percent. A closerexamination shows that this is due to the substantial increase in short-termcertificates (8,974 graduates or 78.9 percent). The number of long-termcertificates awarded also increased (904 graduates or 18.9 percent), butmuch less dramatically. Between fiscal years 2001 and 2005, there was anoverall increase in associate in applied science degrees (1,371 graduatesor16.4 percent) and a large increase (138 graduates or 146.8 percent) invocational skills certificates awarded.

Summary of Graduates by Degree CategoriesGender of Graduates by Degree Category. As indicated in Table C-3, duringfiscal year 2005, nearly six out of ten degrees and certificates were earnedby females (56.1 percent). The three degrees and certificates attained by thehighest proportion of females were the associate in vocational skillscertificate (65.5 percent), associate in applied science (65.0 percent), andassociate in arts (63.2 percent). Although small in overall number (85),associate in engineering science — one of the newest degree programs in theIllinois Community College System — had the highest proportion of malegraduates (90.6 percent). Certificates of less than one year were the specificaward category with the largest number of male graduates (10,736). Themale/female distribution within the baccalaureate/ transfer degree and Careerand Technical Education degree and certificate areas drive the overallgender proportion.

Racial/Ethnic Origin of Graduates by Degree Category. Twenty-ninepercent of all degrees and certificates in fiscal year 2005 were awarded tominority (nonwhite) students. According to Table C-4, slightly over twentypercent of all fiscal year 2005 baccalaureate/transfer degrees were earned byminority students, the majority of which were associate in arts degrees (71.4percent), while 24.3 percent were associate in science degrees. The overallproportion of minority baccalaureate/transfer completers was similar to lastyear (71.2 percent associate in arts and 25.7 percent associate in science).Nearly four times as many minority graduates completed Career andTechnical Education degrees and certificates (11,511) thanbaccalaureate/transfer degrees (2,900). Almost twice as many AfricanAmerican students (7,485) completed collegiate-level programs than didLatino students (4,268) in fiscal year 2005 (see Table C-4). Figure 8illustrates the distribution of minority students who successfully completeddegree programs in the Illinois Community College System during fiscalyear 2005.

Age of Graduates by Degree Category. Nearly thirteen percent of allcompleters were in the under 21 year old age group. These graduates werein Career and Technical Education (54.3 percent) and Transfer (45.1percent) programs. The 21-24 age group accounted for 30.6 percent of allgraduates, while the 25-30 and 31-39 age groups accounted for 18.5 and16.8 percent, respectively. Thirty-nine percent of students 30 and under

completed baccalaureate/transfer degrees, while only 10.1 percent ofgraduates over the age of 30 completed baccalaureate/transfer programs.More than four out of five (87.4 percent) of graduates over 30 earned Career and Technical Education degrees and certificates. In general, theproportion of Career and Technical Education graduates increased as ageadvanced (see Table C-5).

Intent of Graduates by Degree Category. Self-reported intent data disclosethe primary goal a student wants to achieve as a result of his/her studies.The community colleges examine current intent versus student intent at the


Page 13

time of initial enrollment at the college. In these analyses, current intent(when available) was analyzed to reflect the changing needs and desires ofthe community college student. Only about three out four (72.8 percent) ofstudents who attained a baccalaureate/transfer degree in fiscal year 2005indicated that they intended to prepare for transfer to a four-year institution.Just over one-tenth (10.7 percent) of these successful students indicated adesire to either prepare for a job immediately after community college or toimprove present job skills — intent that would most often be associated withseeking a Career and Technical Education degree or certificate. Likewise,only two out three (63.7 percent) of those students who attained a Career andTechnical Education degree or certificate indicated they were preparing fora job immediately after completing community college or improving presentjob skills. Nearly one-fifth (17.9 percent) of the Career and TechnicalEducation graduates indicated that they were preparing for transfer to afour-year institution. Pursuing a Career and Technical Education degreedoes not preclude a student from transferring to a four-year institution (seeTable C-6).

Degree Objective of Graduates by Degree Category. The self-reporteddegree objective provides an indication of the student's expected outcomefrom attending the community college, and one might anticipate that theywould mirror student completion patterns. Four out of five (80.9 percent)of the students who earned baccalaureate/transfer degrees in fiscal year 2005indicated that they enrolled with a desire to complete an associate degree.However, 15.6 percent indicated that they wanted to complete only one orseveral courses and were not pursuing a degree. A review of Career andTechnical Education graduates reveals the same pattern; 78.4 percent of theCareer and Technical Education students who earned an associate in appliedscience degree had listed completing an associate degree as their objective,but 14.1 percent of the students who had planned to only complete one orseveral courses or a certificate ended up surpassing their goal by earning anassociate in applied science degree (see Table C-7).

SUMMARY

As indicated by the demographic data presented in this report, the IllinoisCommunity College System serves a diverse student clientele through avariety of credit and noncredit programs and courses. For students enrolledin credit coursework, more than half are female (55.6 percent), more thanone-third are minorities (35.5 percent), and roughly two out of every fivestudents are 31 years of age or older (38.1 percent). Available informationon students enrolled in noncredit courses show nearly identical genderrepresentation (57.2 percent female), less minority participation with nearlyone-quarter minority noncredit enrollments, and the participation by a moremature population in noncredit courses with just over two-thirds of thestudents 31 years of age or above.

In the past year, based on fiscal year 2005 annual data, there was virtuallyno change in credit enrollment in the community college system. That,coupled with a decrease of 0.9 percent in noncredit enrollment, produced aminimal decrease of 0.2 percent in overall community college systemenrollment. Community colleges as a whole experienced an increase incompletions (7.2 percent).

In fiscal year 2005, slightly over one-fifth (20.7 percent) of IllinoisCommunity College students (not enrolled in ABE/ASE/ESL, VocationalSkills and General Studies) were enrolled in at least one developmentalcourse – down slightly from 21.3 percent in fiscal year 2004. Also in fiscalyear 2005, Illinois Community College students earned 63.3 percent of theremedial credits they attempted. This percentage is down from 66.8 percentin fiscal year 2004.

Steps to assist underrepresented students in their efforts to arrive collegeready and enroll full-time would benefit all students. Better secondaryacademic preparation can position students for more timely degree or

certificate completion for those individuals seeking workplace skills theopportunity to reach their goals at an accelerated pace. Indeed, legislationpassed last spring at the state level to elevate high school graduationstandards that should provide positive movement in this area.

In an era of increased accountability, fully capturing and reporting graduatesthrough the Annual Enrollment and Completion Submission (A1) isimportant. At the same time, it is recognized that there are individualsserved by community colleges who attend with an exclusive interest incompleting particular courses to provide specific skills for success in theirchosen field. Fiscal year 2005 data show that 52.1 percent of all studentsidentify themselves as not pursuing a formal award. Approximately one-third (34.7 percent) of the career and technical education students reportedattending to complete one or several courses. Yet, there are individualsattending community colleges who meet certificate and sometimes degreerequirements but either do not recognize that they have done so or do not filethe necessary paperwork to receive their formal award. To promote studentsuccess, each achievement should be recognized as it is accomplished.Degree audit processes help the colleges and students capture and promptlyrecognize program completion outcomes.

Systemwide over the past three years, community colleges have beenundertaking projects to develop, implement, or expand local computerizedautomated degree and certificate audit systems. These initiatives willcontinue through fiscal year 2006. Results of these systemwide efforts havebecome remarkable as the number of certificates awarded has increasednearly 62 percent over the past five fiscal years. Over the same period oftime, the system has seen an increase of nearly 34 percent in the totalnumber of certificates and degrees awarded. Computerized certificate anddegree audits are useful tools to recognize student accomplishments and canhelp encourage students to pursue additional goals. Automated degree auditsystems require an ongoing commitment to make further refinements andkeep the system updated. Degree and certificate requirements changefrequently and the permitted electives tend to be extensive. Communitycolleges have made investing in processes that promote student success andstudent outcomes a priority.

The large number of students served through credit and/or noncredit coursesaffirms that the Illinois Community College System continues to adapt to theevolving educational needs of the communities the colleges serve. Effortsto promote degree and certificate completion for students with an interestin earning a formal academic award are paying dividends for students, areaemployers, and the colleges.
