Spotlight On ... the College Closures & Student Outcomes Dashboard

By Clearinghouse Today Blog

The Research Center recently introduced an interactive College Closures and Student Outcomes dashboard that provides insights from the reports and enables a closer view of the impact of college closures on student education pathways.

Key Features of the Dashboard

• Closed Institution Characteristics: See completions rates by students impacted by a college closure, cross-referenced by reenrollment at a branch campus or a distinct institution. Filter the data by institution section (private vs. public) and institution size by student count. 
• Some College No Credential (SCNC) - Closure Students: See the juxtaposition of SSNC students impacted by a college closure compared to those not affected by a college closure.
• Potential Completer Status: The new dashboard also presents reenrollment rates of SCNC students who had completed at least two years of full-time enrollment (potential completer) versus those who had not completed at least two years of full-time enrollment when their institution closed (non-potential completer).

“This study shows that any college closure is damaging to student success, leaving too many learners – more than half – without a viable path to fulfilling their educational dreams.” - Doug Shapiro, Executive Director, National Student Clearinghouse Research Center
