Remediation in Maryland Higher Education, Part 5: First-Year Outcomes
Van Orden, Alexia
Maryland Higher Education Commission
There are longstanding concerns regarding whether remedial coursework at the college or university level is the most effective and efficient way to increase student success for students deemed not "college ready" upon entry to college. Requiring students to complete these courses (often non-credit-bearing) prior to becoming eligible for college-level, credit-bearing courses may hinder their progress toward a degree or other credential. Parts 1 through 4 of the research series on remediation at Maryland colleges and universities have evaluated a number of issues. Beginning with defining what remediation is and why it matters (Part 1, ED604255), followed with a first-time, full-time cohort entering in Fall 2017, this research has explored the rates of assessment (Part 2, ED604259), completion (Part 3, ED611937), and credit-bearing "gateway" course completion within the first year of enrollment (Part 4, ED611938). This report, Part 5 of the series, presents students' first-year academic outcomes by examining their grade point average (GPA) and credits accumulated by the end of the first year.
