Student Intent
The student intent model was originally developed at San Juan College. It is used in conjunction with some of the community college performance based budgeting indicators. The model determines student's intent based on their course taking behavior. There are 5 intent categories: career, transfer, skill attainment, lifelong learner, and developmental. The following criteria for identifying students in each category were:
- Career: took 9 or more vocational credit hours. Intend to attain a vocational degree.
- Transfer: took 9 or more Arts and Sciences hours. Intend to transfer.
- Skill Attainment: 8 or less vocational hours. Intend to update skills.
- Lifelong Learner: 8 or less Arts and Sciences hours. Taking classes casually.
- Developmental: Took only developmental courses.
The distribution of the cohorts into each intent category and their graduation rates are available on the following summary beginning with the fall 1994 cohort.
