Research & Planning i March 2017

El Camino College IPEDS Data Feedback Report 2016 Summary of Findings The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) distributes a standard report to college and university leaders each year entitled IPEDS Data Feedback Report. The report summarizes demographic, enrollment and achievement data from the previous year (in this report, data through 2014-15 academic year and Fall 2015) and includes comparative references from earlier reports. Median results from a comparison group developed by each institution are displayed next to institutional results. The darker bars on all charts represent El Camino College (ECC) while the lighter bars represent the comparison group median. The median is the value for the college located in the middle of an ordered list of college values; each measure may have a different institution at its median. Methodological notes are on pages 8 through 10 of the report.

Current comparison group members, or peers, include the following, some of which serve as the same comparison group used for ECC’s Academic Performance Profile: • Cerritos • East Los Angeles • Glendale • Long Beach

• Los Angeles Harbor • Los Angeles Pierce • Mt. San Antonio • Pasadena

• Rio Hondo • Riverside • San Diego Mesa • Santa Monica

Note: Members of the comparison group may be changed annually by the institution

Figure 1. Race/Ethnicity and Gender The racial/ethnic and gender distributions at El Camino College are similar to comparison colleges, with ECC having a slightly lower percentage of Hispanic/Latino students and a greater percentage of African-American students. These similarities and differences have remained consistent over the past few years.

Figure 2. Headcount, FTE While full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment is a good indicator of relative institutional size, full-time (student) enrollment is a positive indicator of college persistence and goal completion. ECC is one of the larger schools in the comparison group, serving 4% more students and generating 10% more FTE enrollment than the medians for the group during the 2014-2015 school year. ECC experienced a slight decline of 4% in the number of full-time students enrolled at ECC in Fall 2015 (7,960) compared to Fall 2014 (8,298). However, ECC served 12% more full-time students in Fall 2015 compared to the peer institutions’ median (7,137). ECC continues to be among the top colleges within the comparison group in enrolling full-time students.

Figure 3. Number of Degrees and Certificates ECC awarded more degrees than the peer median in 2014-2015 (40%). In contrast, the number of medium-term certificates earned are notably fewer in number at ECC compared to the majority of our peer institutions. Most of the certificate growth at ECC was found among short-term awards.

Research & Planning ii March 2017

Figures 4-5. Academic Year Tuition and Fees These figures show 3- or 4-year trends of college costs. Figure 4 shows that ECC’s academic year tuition and fees in 2015-16 were slightly lower ($1,142) compared to its peer group ($1,220). However, Figure 5 indicates that the average net price of attendance in 2014-15 was higher for ECC students ($9,939) than the peer group median ($7,324).

Figures 6-9. Grant/Scholarship Recipients The percentage of all students from ECC receiving some form of reported financial aid was 56% in 2014-15, which is lower than the peer group median of 63% (see Figure 8). Although a slightly greater percentage of ECC students received Pell grants in 2014-15 (30%) compared to 2013-2014 (28%), this percentage is lower compared to 34% for the comparison group. Average award amounts (in dollars) were similar to the peer median. Figure 9 also shows that ECC students received no federal loans (see Figure 9). As of August 2013, ECC no longer participates in the Federal Direct Loan Program.

Figure 6 shows that the percentage of first-time, full-time, degree/certificate-seeking (FTF) students at ECC who received financial aid (66%) was lower than the median college (74%). Two percent of FTF students received institutional grants (scholarships), compared to no institutional grants reported for peer group median in 2014-15. In terms of levels of aid (in dollars), FTF students received similar grant awards as the peer group median (Figure 7). ECC reported no loans.

Figures 10-13. Graduation & Transfer-Out Rates These figures reflect a variety of graduation and transfer rates along with fall-to-fall persistence (IPEDS refers to this rate as Retention).

Graduation levels in this report indicate that ECC’s graduation rates for the Fall 2012 FTF cohort are higher than at least half of its peer institutions. Graduation rates for first-time, full-time degree-/certificate-seeking students in 2015 (Figure 11) were considerably higher for ECC than the peer median, with a graduation rate of 32% which is 5 percentage points higher than the median.

Figure 12 represents graduation rates disaggregated by student ethnicity. It shows that although ECC’s overall graduation rate is higher than the median group, Black or African American students (14%) graduated at rates lower than the group median (18%). However, these rates largely depend on the structure of the cohort. While Fall 2012 cohort shows lower graduation rates for Black or African American students, Fall 2011 cohort indicated graduation rates that were 2 points higher than the median. For disaggregated completion rates of all students who received program awards in the 2015-16 academic year, please see the 2015-16 Time to Completion Report.

The data in Figure 11 also shows a transfer-out rate of 10%, which is slightly lower than the peer median of 12%. This rate, mandated under Student Right-to-Know, measures all college transitions, including to other community colleges. California Community College and local transfer rates, such as reported in the Annual Factbook, are better measures of actual 4-year transfer.

Research & Planning iii March 2017

College retention rates in Figure 10 show higher retention rates for full-time students (78% versus 74% for peers) and slightly lower for part-time students (49% versus 52% for peers). Looking at time-to-degree measure in Figure 13, ECC had slightly higher rates of completion for all time spans (normal time, 150% time, 200% time) compared to the peer median.

Figure 14-17. Staffing, Salaries, Revenues & Expenses Similar to Figure 3, the comparative staffing levels reported in Figure 16 may reflect differences in enrollment levels, local definitions and institutional organization, so comparison is less meaningful. Also, revenue sources and expenses as detailed in Figures 14 and 15 are affected by institutional size and local definition.

Figure 17, which compares average salaries of full-time instructional staff, shows that salaries at ECC are slightly higher than the median institution.

Conclusion Despite demographic similarities with peer institutions, ECC had better student outcomes in many categories of the 2016 report than the median institution, especially in terms of degree and certificate counts, time to graduation rates, and persistence rates. The report does not give an indication of where ECC ranks numerically within the peer group but the rates demonstrate that El Camino College is continuing to perform among top colleges in the group in these outcomes.

METHODOLOGICAL NOTES

Overview

This report is based on data supplied by institutions to IPEDS during the 2015-16 data collection year. Response rates exceeded 99% formost surveys. Detailed response tables are included in IPEDS First Look reports at http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/getpubcats.asp?sid=010.

Use of Median Values for Comparison Group

The value for the comparison institution is compared to the median value for the comparison group for each statistic included in the figure. Ifmore than one statistic is presented in a figure, the median values are determined separately for each indicator or statistic. Medians are notreported for comparison groups with fewer than three values. Where percentage distributions are presented, median values may not add to100%. To access all the data used to create the figures included in this report, go to ‘Use the Data’ portal on the IPEDS website(http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds).

Missing Statistics

If a statistic is not reported for your institution, the omission indicates that the statistic is not relevant to your institution and the data were notcollected. Not all notes may be applicable to your report.

Use of Imputed Data

All IPEDS data are subject to imputation for total (institutional) and partial (item) nonresponse. If necessary, imputed values were used toprepare your report.

Data Confidentiality

IPEDS data are not collected under a pledge of confidentiality.

Disaggregation of Data by Race/Ethnicity

When applicable, some statistics are disaggregated by race/ethnicity. Data disaggregated by race/ethnicity have been reported using the1997 Office of Management and Budget categories. Detailed information about the race/ethnicity categories can be found athttp://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/reic/resource.asp.

Cohort Determination for Reporting Student Financial Aid and Graduation Rates

Student cohorts for reporting Student Financial Aid and Graduation Rates data are based on the reporting type of the institution. Forinstitutions that report based on an academic year (those operating on standard academic terms), student counts and cohorts are based onfall term data. Student counts and cohorts for program reporters (those that do not operate on standard academic terms) are based onunduplicated counts of students enrolled during a full 12-month period.

DESCRIPTION OF STATISTICS USED IN THE FIGURES

Admissions (only for non-open-admissions schools)

Admissions and Test Score Data

Admissions and test score data are presented only for institutions that do not have an open admission policy, and apply to first-time,degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students only. Applicants include only those students who fulfilled all requirements for considerationfor admission and who were notified of one of the following actions: admission, non-admission, placement on a wait list, or applicationwithdrawn (by applicant or institution). Admitted applicants (admissions) include wait-listed students who were subsequently offeredadmission. Early decision, early action, and students who began studies during the summer prior to the fall reporting period are included. Forcustomized Data Feedback Reports, test scores are presented only if they are required for admission.

Student Enrollment

FTE Enrollment

The full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment used in this report is the sum of the institution’s FTE undergraduate enrollment and FTE graduateenrollment (as calculated from or reported on the 12-month Enrollment component). Undergraduate and graduate FTE are estimated using 12-month instructional activity (credit and/or contact hours). See “Calculation of FTE Students (using instructional activity)” in the IPEDSGlossary at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/glossary/.

Total Entering Undergraduate Students

Total entering students are students at the undergraduate level, both full- and part-time, new to the institution in the fall term (or the priorsummer term who returned in the fall). This includes all first-time undergraduate students, students transferring into the institution at theundergraduate level, and non-degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates entering in the fall. Only degree-granting, academic year reportinginstitutions provide total entering student data.

Charges and Net Price

Average Institutional Net Price

Average net price is calculated for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates who were awarded grant or scholarship aidfrom the federal government, state/local government, or the institution anytime during the full aid year. For public institutions, this includesonly students who paid the in-state or in-district tuition rate. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Average net price is generated bysubtracting the average amount of federal, state/local government, and institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost ofattendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books and supplies, and the average room and boardand other expenses.

For the purpose of the IPEDS reporting, aid awarded refers to financial aid that was awarded to, and accepted by, a student. This amountmay differ from the aid amount that is disbursed to a student.

Retention and Graduation Rates

Graduation Rates and Transfer-out Rate

Graduation rates are those developed to satisfy the requirements of the Student Right-to-Know Act and Higher Education Act, as amended,and are defined as the total number of individuals from a given cohort of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates whocompleted a degree or certificate within a given percent of normal time to complete all requirements of the degree or certificate programbefore the ending status date of August 31, 2014; divided by the total number of students in the cohort of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates minus any allowable exclusions. Institutions are permitted to exclude from the cohort students who died or weretotally and permanently disabled; those who left school to serve in the armed forces or were called up to active duty; those who left to servewith a foreign aid service of the federal government, such as the Peace Corps; and those who left to serve on an official church mission.

Transfer-out rate is the total number of students from the cohort who are known to have transferred out of the reporting institution (withoutearning a degree/award) and subsequently re-enrolled at another institution within the same time period; divided by the same adjusted cohort(initial cohort minus allowable exclusions) as described above. Only institutions with a mission that includes providing substantial preparationfor students to enroll in another eligible institution are required to report transfers out.

Retention Rates

Retention rates are measures at which students persist in their educational program at an institution, expressed as a percentage. For four-year institutions, this is the percentage of first-time bachelors (or equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduates from the previous fall who areagain enrolled in the current fall. For all other institutions this is the percentage of first-time degree/certificate-seeking students from theprevious fall who either re-enrolled or successfully completed their program by the current fall. The full-time retention rate is calculated usingthe percentage of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates, while the part-time rate is calculated using the percentage ofpart-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates.

Finance

Core Revenues

Core revenues for public institutions reporting under GASB standards include tuition and fees; state and local appropriations; governmentgrants and contracts; private gifts, grants, and contracts; sales and services of educational activities; investment income; other operating and

Endowment Assets

Endowment assets, for public institutions under GASB standards, and private, not-for-profit institutions under FASB standards, include grossinvestments of endowment funds, term endowment funds, and funds functioning as endowment for the institution and any of its foundationsand other affiliated organizations. Private, for-profit institutions under FASB do not hold or report endowment assets.

Equated Instructional Non-Medical Staff Salaries

Institutions reported total salary outlays by academic rank and gender, and the number of staff by academic rank, contract length (9-, 10-, 11-,and 12-month contracts), and gender. The total number of months covered by salary outlays was calculated by multiplying the number of staffreported for each contract length period by the number of months of the contract, and summing across all contract length periods. Theweighted average monthly salary for each academic rank and gender was calculated by dividing the total salary outlays by the total number ofmonths covered. The weighted average monthly salary was then multiplied by 9 to determine an equated 9-month salary for each rank.

Salaries, Wages, and Benefits

Salaries, wages, and benefits, for public institutions under GASB standards, and private, not-for-profit institutions under FASB standards,include amounts paid as compensation for services to all employees regardless of the duration of service, and amounts made to or on behalfof an individual over and above that received in the form of a salary or wage. Frequently, benefits are associated with an insurance payment.Private, for-profit institutions under FASB standards do not report salaries.

Staff

Student-to-Faculty Ratio

The guidance provided to institutions for calculating their student-to-faculty ratio is as follows: the number of FTE students (using FallEnrollment data) divided by the total FTE instructional staff (using the total Primarily instruction + Instruction/research/public service staffreported on the EAP section of the Human Resources component and adding any not primarily instructional staff that are teaching a creditcourse). For this calculation, FTE for students is equal to the number of full-time students plus one-third the number of part-time students;FTE for instructional staff is similarly calculated. Students enrolled in "stand-alone" graduate or professional programs (such as medicine, law,veterinary, dentistry, social work, or public health) and instructional staff teaching in these programs are excluded from the FTE calculations.
