Abstract	Enrolling in college and completing a degree or certificate is one of the primary pathways to economic success. In 2017, median weekly earnings of full-time workers with an associate degree was 17 percent higher than full-time workers with a high school diploma only. Despite the economic advantages of educational attainment, only 32 percent of students enrolled in two-year institutions complete their programs within three years. The first year of college is critical, as 38 percent of first-time, full-time students in 2-year institutions fail to return to the same institution for their second year. As a result, several programs have been designed to support student retention and degree completion among college students. One example is the City University of New York's (CUNY's) "Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP)." "ASAP" is a three-year program that is designed to remove barriers to college success and completion for students seeking associate degrees. "ASAP" offers students financial supports (tuition waivers, free use of textbooks, free public transportation), academic supports (tutoring, early registration), and personal supports (advisors, seminars, blocked or linked courses). "ASAP" students are required to enroll full time and are encouraged to take any required developmental education courses in the first semester. This What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) report, part of the WWC's Supporting Postsecondary Success topic area, explores the effects of "ASAP" on enrollment, credit accumulation, and graduation rates. The WWC identified 11 studies of "ASAP," two of which met WWC standards. The evidence presented in this report includes studies of the impacts of "ASAP" on community college students, including students who were White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian or Pacific Islander.
