In California community colleges, state-mandated matriculation consists of services intended to enhance student success and processes to improve institutional effectiveness by developing capacities for evaluation, coordination, and training. Each year, the Chancellor's Office conducts evaluations to assess the extent to which matriculation is being implemented by the state's community colleges. In 1990-91, the evaluation approach shifted to a detailed, on-site examination of matriculation evaluation, including the impact of matriculation on students. Site visits were conducted at 18 colleges by 3- to 6-member teams of professionals. The 1990-91 matriculation evaluation revealed that most colleges had made substantial progress since the previous year's initial evaluations, but at each there were some components requiring additional development. In general, admissions, counseling, and orientation components were the most thoroughly developed. Assessment (beyond placement testing), student follow-up, coordination and training, and research and evaluation were most often the weakest components. The 1990-91 report provides information on the status of the following: (1) coordination and training; (2) admission; (3) orientation; (4) assessment; (5) counseling and advisement; (6) student follow-up; and (7) research and evaluation. Also noted are effective aspects of matriculation components occurring in California colleges which can serve as examples for other colleges. The "Team Member's Guide to the Matriculation Evaluation" at Compton College is appended. (KP)
