Regional Educational Laboratory Midwest
This study examined the early college success of students who graduated from an Indiana high school in 2010 and enrolled immediately in a public two-year or four-year college in Indiana. The study team identified data elements in Indiana's Student Information System that predicted the early college success of this cohort of students. Half of Indiana high school graduates who enrolled in a public college in Indiana were successful, according to three indicators: enrolling in only nonremedial courses in the first semester, earning all attempted credits in the first semester, and continuing on to a second year of college. Early college success was predicted by student demographic and academic characteristics, type of college (two-year or four-year), level of academic preparation, and student behavior. Although several data elements were found to be statistically significant predictors, most of the variation in early college success across students remains unexplained.
