Students who used Learning Connection tutoring services in the last few years have had higher success rates
and lower withdrawal rates than students in the same course who did not use these services. The table below
shows higher success rates for many of the major high-enrollment basic skills and general education courses.
The Learning Connection includes the following lab centers that provide direct tutoring to students: Peer,
Academic Tutoring Help (PATH) Center, the Writing and Reading Across the Curriculum (WRAC) Center,
the Math Lab, the Language Center, and the World Languages Center. Students could have received
tutoring in any of the centers, and they were compared to students in the same section who had not received
any tutoring. Higher success rates mean that more students can go on to the next course rather than repeating
the course and preventing others from taking it. This increases the number of students that Chabot can serve
as well as the number of students who can succeed, persist, graduate, and transfer.

*Learning Connection tutoring could take place in any center (PATH, WRAC, Math, Language, or World Languages Lab)
*Success rates are from sections that had both students who were and were not tutored. **May not add to 100% due to rounding
*Success = a grade of 'A', 'B', 'C', 'CR', or 'P' ; Non-success = a grade of 'D', 'F', 'I', 'NC', or 'NP'; Withdrawal= 'W' or 'MW'.
NOTE: Spring 11 Tutoring data includes only WRAC, Language Lab, and World Language Lab tutoring.
