Abstract | This document addresses the retention of second language students at Miami-Dade Community College in October 2002. Overall, retention of second language students has improved since the previous year. It should be noted that despite the increase in retention, fewer students are passing all of their lower level EAP courses. The report contains campus retention rates data, progression of second language students' summary data, and EAP progression by level data for the following five campuses: Kendall Campus, Hialeah Center, InterAmerican Campus, Wolfson Campus, and North Campus. The data was gathered from the Student Data Base files. The report makes two major recommendations based upon the data. First, results from Enrollment Management focus groups suggest the need to better articulate Level 6 students into M-DCC credit programs. Secondly, retention rates by campus and level will be forwarded to campus chairs and discipline conveners to discuss with their faculty strategies to increase retention with a focus on level 1 students at Kendell Campus and Level 5 & 6 students at Haileah and InterAmerican. Contains fourteen tables, which provide data summary for individual schools. (MZ) |
