Our initial analysis of the data showed: ‣ at all of our campuses (even at our 2-years)
more than 50% of first time freshmen took 12 to 14 credits
‣ percentage of freshmen completing 30 credits or more in their freshman:
• 4-year campuses 14.5% to 37%
• 2-year campuses averaged 7%
2. Assessing the Current Situation

Subdivided the data for first-time freshmen between those taking <15 credits and those taking ≥15 credits in the first semester of study.
Examined:
‣ Academic Preparation
‣ Demographics
‣ Academic Success
3. Using Data Analysis to Make the Case for Change
![Page 14: STRENGTHENING PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS SUMMITblog.hawaii.edu/hawaiigradinitiative/files/2013/09/Indiana_15toFinish_09-09-13.pdfSUMMIT . September 19, 2013 . Indianapolis, IN . TM](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041117/5f2ce62388300333e11916a7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Students who took 15 more credits in their first semester had higher levels of academic preparation, as measured by:
‣ SAT / ACT test scores
‣ High School GPA / Rank Ratio
‣ Early Admit / Prior Summer Credits
‣ Compass Scores (2-year campuses only)
Results were statistically significant
Initial Findings Academic Preparation
![Page 15: STRENGTHENING PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS SUMMITblog.hawaii.edu/hawaiigradinitiative/files/2013/09/Indiana_15toFinish_09-09-13.pdfSUMMIT . September 19, 2013 . Indianapolis, IN . TM](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041117/5f2ce62388300333e11916a7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
For students who took 15 more credits in their first semester:
‣ Mean age was slightly lower
‣ Lower share for URM and Pell recipients
‣ Higher share with financial need met
‣ Other results mixed
Results were statistically significant for some measures at some campuses
Initial Findings Demographics
![Page 16: STRENGTHENING PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS SUMMITblog.hawaii.edu/hawaiigradinitiative/files/2013/09/Indiana_15toFinish_09-09-13.pdfSUMMIT . September 19, 2013 . Indianapolis, IN . TM](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041117/5f2ce62388300333e11916a7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Students who took 15 more credits in their first semester:
‣ Had higher end-of-semester GPA
‣ Had higher credit completion Rates
‣ Persisted to following Spring and Fall semesters at higher rates
Results were statistically significant
Initial Findings Academic Success
![Page 17: STRENGTHENING PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS SUMMITblog.hawaii.edu/hawaiigradinitiative/files/2013/09/Indiana_15toFinish_09-09-13.pdfSUMMIT . September 19, 2013 . Indianapolis, IN . TM](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041117/5f2ce62388300333e11916a7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Question: is superior academic performance due to better academic preparation? To test this assumption, an Academic Preparation Score (APS) was created, using available data. The APS measure collapses several preparation variables to a single measure that can be used to array success outcomes by preparation level.
Digging Deeper
![Page 18: STRENGTHENING PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS SUMMITblog.hawaii.edu/hawaiigradinitiative/files/2013/09/Indiana_15toFinish_09-09-13.pdfSUMMIT . September 19, 2013 . Indianapolis, IN . TM](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041117/5f2ce62388300333e11916a7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Created the Academic Preparation Score (1 to 4, with 4 being the highest) for: 4-Year Campuses:
‣ SAT Composite Score ‣ ACT Composite Score (if SAT unavailable) ‣ High School GPA ‣ High School Rank Ratio
2-Year Campuses: ‣ Compass Test Scores (4 Math and 2 English)
Academic Preparation Score
![Page 19: STRENGTHENING PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS SUMMITblog.hawaii.edu/hawaiigradinitiative/files/2013/09/Indiana_15toFinish_09-09-13.pdfSUMMIT . September 19, 2013 . Indianapolis, IN . TM](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041117/5f2ce62388300333e11916a7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Students with higher levels of academic preparation (as measured by the APS) performed better than students with lower levels of academic preparation.
More importantly, at all but the lowest levels of academic preparation, students who took 15 or more credits generally had greater academic success, regardless of the APS!
