SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee is established to advise the
Secretary of Education in assisting two-year degree-granting
institutions of higher education in meeting the completion or
graduation rate disclosure requirements outlined in section 485 of the
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Specifically, the Committee
shall develop recommendations regarding the accurate calculation and
reporting of completion or graduation rates of entering certificate/
degree-seeking, full-time, undergraduate students by two-year degree
granting institutions of higher education. The Committee may also
recommend additional or alternative measures of student success that
are comparable alternatives to the completion or graduation rates of
entering degree-seeking full-time undergraduate students and that
consider the mission and role of two-year degree granting higher
education institutions. These recommendations shall be provided to the
Secretary no later than April 2012.
The agenda for the Committee's second meeting will include
presentations by Committee working groups regarding the topics of
progression, completion, and alternative measures. The agenda will also
include Committee member discussions of potential findings and
recommendations related to these topics.
