College Research - Project of the Year

Description: Crafton Hills College's summary of findings of the Left Lane Project.

In spring 2012 the Crafton Hills College Student Success and Engagement, Enrollment andManagement Committee (SSEEM), a Crafton Council shared governance committee, developed the Left Lane Project (LLP), funded by the SBCCD Chancellor’s Student Success Initiative Fund. The project incorporates a comprehensive, research-based approach to create clear pathways forstudents from application to completion. The purpose of this report is to examine the relationship of the Fall 2012 and Fall 2013 Left Lane cohorts to enrollments, student success, and fall to springr etention. In addition, the Fall 2012 cohort was tracked to Spring 2014 and their progress on the following is also illustrated in this report: completion of transfer English and/or math, retention to Spring 2014, earning a certificate or degree, and transferring to a four-year college. The purpose of the LLP is to reduce the average amount of time it takes students to earn an AA/AS Degree at Crafton from 5.3 years to four years. To accomplish this the LLP has implemented numerous strategies, such as a Summer Bridge Program to help students transition to college, learning communities and supplemental instruction to provide integrated counseling and tutoring services, Senior Orientation, Application, Assessment, Advising, and Registration) (SOA3R) , and requiring students to enroll in math and English first to maintain their priority registration.'
