Progress Measure 3 (Part 1)
Reduce disparities in retention and graduation
rates between majority and minority student
populations…
Original Design Concept
White six-year graduation rate – Minority six-year
graduation rate = Disparity Rate
The outcome? Reduce the disparity rate to zero,
ideally.
Challenges:
Small sample size, regression to the mean, changes
in classification, difficult to understand…etc.

Progress Measure 3 (Part 2)
…Increase the proportion of student
enrollments from historically underrepresented
groups to achieve a critical mass necessary to
enrich the education of all UNCW students.
Calculating Underrepresented
Enrollments 101
• Take out unknown denominator to get
adjusted number
• Leave in IBEC (conversation w/ GA- reported
to IPEDS)
• Report each group and MR separate
• When calculate total minority add each in
minority group (not MR and not INT) divide by
adjusted number
• If determined appropriate, MR can be added
How the calculation breaks out:
Resident and Extension students --Fall 2010
• Total Population
13071
• Adjusted population: 12754 (13071 – 317)
• African American:
572/12754 =
4.5%
• Hispanic:
587/12754 =
4.6%
• American Indian:
81/12754 =
0.6%
• Multi-Racial
241/12754 =
1.9%
• Asian
235/12754 =
1.8%
• Pacific Islander
15/12754 =
0.1%
• White
10919/12754 = 85.6%
• International (not a race) 104
• Total Minority: 572+587+81+235+15 = 1490/12754 =
11.7%
Increase the proportion of student enrollments from
historically underrepresented groups.

UNCW compared to peers (2009)
What happened to the 6-year graduation
rate? Consider Retention
• Before the class of 2009, the 2003 cohort had the
highest 2nd year retention rate.
• 2003 cohort had 123 fewer students than 2004
cohort.
• Large increase in out of state freshmen for 2004,
give or take 6.5 percentage points higher than
previous cohort.
– The increase in SAT was due in part to the out-of-state
influx but these students tend to drop out at a higher
rate than students who attend closer to home. Rule of
thumb is 90 miles, farther than 90, more likely to
show attrition.

Progression Rates
• Crafted from the College Portrait through the
Voluntary System of Accountability.
• track migration patterns of former students
through the National Student Clearing House.
• Intent is to provide evidence of success in
student achievement to parents, students and
stakeholders.

• Data not updated for 2009-10 for UNC peers
• For benchmark peers we have the following
for 2009-2010:
– Western Washington at 88.7%
– Wisconsin-Eau Claire at 88.6%
• For 2008-09:
– College of NJ at 92.7%
– Towson at 90.6%
Progress Measure 8
By fall 2010, increase the international student
population to 3% of the total student population.
Increase the study abroad participation rate to 20%
of undergraduates completing UNCW degrees by
2010, and to 25% by 2015.
How do we ‘count’
international students?
• Open Doors method
– Much more inclusive than IPEDS
– Challenge, does not meet federal reporting
requirements nor does it match General
Administration reporting
– Useful for study abroad as there is no fed reporting
requirement
• IPEDS method this year
– Can compare peer institutions by official means
– Figures are different than what Open Doors would
note
By fall 2010, increase the international student
population to 3% of the total student population.
