North Carolina Community College System 2009 Critical Success Factors
Factor I:  Core Indicators of Student Success

(Performance Measures and Standards)

In response to a special provision of the NC General Assembly, the State Board of Community Colleges approved, in 1999, twelve performance measures and standards to enhance accountability in North Carolina Community Colleges.

In the 2007 Session, the General Assembly approved modification to the North Carolina Performance Measures and Standards as adopted by the State Board of Community Colleges.  As a result, the number of performance measures was reduced to eight. 

Each college is required to publish its performance ratings on these eight measures.  The data represent 2009-10, as shown in the North Carolina Community College System's 2010Critical Success Factors Report.
