Results Achieved to Date

• ExpectedResults: Our team hopes to achieve smoother key transitions for students including, but not limited to, the transitions experience by new students, by change of campus students, by transfer students, and by graduating students. In addition to more traditional metrics such as retention and graduation data, we will measure our success through an analysis of information obtained through focus groups, surveys, etc.
