Achieving the Dream Initiative FAQs
  • Revision 6-23-11

2
By which criteria were the cohort groups selected?
  • In order to be selected into an AtD cohort group
    the student must       -- have designated the
    institution as his/her home campus for the first
    time (styp code is M, F, N, or T),      -- be
    enrolled (for the first time) at the home
    institution in at least one credit course at the
    time of the census,      -- be in a
    degree-seeking program (degree code is not
    'ND','000000', 'SC','SPE', 'SPND', and
    'UCERT'),      -- not be unclassified (major
    is not 'UNCL'), early admit
  • (major is not SPEA/SPCC/SPEH/SPOT), or running
    start,      -- not MAN, WOA or HIL
    home-institution students CC students only.
  •      -- have never attended classes at
    that institution in previous terms (e.g.,
    exclude previous early admit students and other
    students who took classes at the institution)

3
By which criteria are the 15 additional
gatekeeper courses selected?
  • Gatekeeper courses are those courses where one
    half of one percent of your fall headcount (
    total fall 04, fall 05, and fall 06
    headcount) registered for the course (as
    measured at the end of the semester -- includes
    all registrations),
  • and, where the success rate (grades of A, B, C,
    pass, CR, or equivalent grade that allows a
    student to enroll in the next course in a
    sequence) is less than 70.
  • Gatekeeper course criteria set by UHCC Chief
    Academic Officers and capped at HawCC at 15.  
  • See next slide for breakdown

4
The 15 courses with the highest enrollments were
selected as the additional" gatekeeper courses
for HawCC
5
HawCC additional gatekeeper courses
  • English 21 Developmental Reading
  • English 22 Intro to Expository Writing
  • History 151 World Civilization I
  • Math 22 Pre-Algebra Mathematics
  • History 152 World Civilization II
  • English 20W College Writing Grammar
  • Math 24X Elementary Algebra I
  • Hawaiian Studies 124 Hawaiian Myths Legends
  • Math 50 Technical Mathematics
  • Math 26 Elementary Algebra
  • Math 100 Survey of Mathematics
  • Philosophy 110 Intro to Logic
  • Math 1B Basic Mathematics B
  • Math 1C Basic Mathematics C
  • Math 1D Basic Mathematics D

Why are the 15 gatekeeper courses additionalin
addition to what?
The AtD term records are grouped into a series of
course levels. The highest level is college
level Math and college level English. These
college level Math and English course(s) are
defined by AtD as, The gatekeeper Math/English
variable as defined by your institution. In
addition to these 2 college level courses we have
15 additional gatekeeper courses that we will
want to track, based upon the criteria set by our
Chief Academic Officers.
7
What is the difference between our additional
gatekeeper courses and a remedial/developmental
course?
Additional Gatekeeper courses are those courses
that are both high enrolled and that have success
rates of less than 70. They are a combination
of our remedial/developmental courses and our
college level courses. Remedial/Developmental
courses are not college level courses
(degree/certificate applicable) and usually have
a course number less than 100. There may be
exceptions to this rule like Math 27, which is
treated as a college level course at Hawaii
Community College.
