The intent of the student equity planning process is for colleges to conduct a self-evaluation on their own improvement or lack thereof in improving successful outcomes for all students. Completing this campus-based research includes determining the level of disproportionate impact of students within each of the success indicators.

Success Indicators:

1. Access: The percentage of each population group that is enrolled compared to that group's representation in the adult population within the community served. This percentage is frequently calculated as a participation rate.
2. Course Completion: The ratio of the number of credit courses that students, by population group, complete compared to the number of courses in which students in that group are enrolled on the census day of the term
3. ESOL Basic Skills: The ratio of the number of students by population group who complete a degree applicable course after having completed the final ESL or basic skills course compared to the number of those students who complete such a final ESL or basic skills course.
4. Degree and Certificates Awarded: The ratio of the number of students by population group who receive a degree or certificate to the number of students in that group with the same informed matriculation goal as documented in the student educational plan developed with a counselor/advisor.
5. Transfer: The ratio of the number of students by population group who complete a minimum of 12 units and have attempted a transfer level course in mathematics or English, to the number of students in that group who actually transfer after one or more (up to six) years.
