Data - Data - Data – Transparent data always leads to more questions! Why? There are several paths to take when exploring the data. Comparing Data? Data varies based on many factors and relying on the data to be measured exactly the same each year leads to assumptions.
Contact ir@socc.edu to validate the data you discover! Please be sure to check with IR staff prior to using the data for decision-making and planning purposes. Data varies based on changes in processes and state funding guidelines often impact what may appear as unusually large increases or decreases. Examples: 2019 culinary students are now charged by billing credits resulting in what appears to be a large increase. State reimbursement guidelines changed which courses are reimbursed resulting in what appears to be a large decrease in developmental education FTE. Bet you now have more questions!!!!
