Abstract	The North Carolina Community College System's mission includes a responsibility to "open the door to high-quality, accessible educational opportunities that minimize barriers to post-secondary education" and "maximize student success." Access and academic progress are essential for North Carolinians as they explore career opportunities, complete credentials of workplace value, seek fulfilling careers, and maximize their personal potential. Unfortunately, rates of access and academic progress differ across subgroups of the population, which impacts the educational outcomes and social and economic mobility of those groups. The purpose of this report is to call attention to patterns of inequity at the system and college levels by documenting gaps in access and academic progress across demographic populations, specifically race/ethnicity and gender. It is organized into four different sections: (1) Access; (2) First-Time Curriculum Student Characteristics; (3) First-Term Curriculum Student Progression; and (4) First-Year Curriculum Student Progression. The Access section contains a mix of college and county measures centered around who is accessing educational opportunities, with a focus on North Carolina community colleges. This section includes the race/ethnicity and gender makeup of the community colleges across the Curriculum, Basic Skills, and Continuing Education divisions. The next three sections focus on a cohort of fall 2017 first-time (non-high school) Curriculum students who have no post-secondary enrollment prior to summer 2017. Concurrently enrolled high school students are excluded from the first-time cohort. The "Characteristics" section describes first-time students' characteristics at entry, including credits attempted. The last two sections focus on first-term and first-year leading indicators of academic success, including course success, persistence, and credit accumulation. (ERIC).
