State Chancellor's Office Definition:
The Partnership for Excellence is a mutual commitment by the State of California and the California Community College system to significantly expand the contribution of the community college to the social and economic success of California. It is structured in phases, with substantial financial investment by the State in exchange for a credible commitment from the CCC systems to specific student and performance outcomes.

As its responsibility with the Partnership, the CCC system shall commit to achieving outcomes by 2005 which reflect high priority policy objectives of the state of California. The performance outcomes are derived from the mission of the CCC, and are projected based primarily on 1995-96 data. These goals are not intended to be exhaustive, rather, to provide a basis from which community colleges may expand and develop their own operational goals.

Five performance goals were established in the areas of transfer, degrees and certificates, successful course completion, workforce development, and basic skills improvement, and it is those goals which are addressed in this publication.

Goals for the LACCD and Pierce:
Goals for the District and for Pierce were established by the District Research Office and include a suggested "path" toward the goals. In some cases, the Colleges have differing targets for the same goal based on the assessment of the achievement of a District-wide goal.

Goal 1: Transfer (UC and CSU)
By 2005-06, an increase from 69,574 to 92,500 in the number of students who transfers from community colleges to baccalaureate institutions. Specifically:
· CSU sub-goal: an increase from 48,688 to 64,200 (31.9% over 10 years).
· UC sub-goal: an increase from 10,886 to 14,500 (33.2% over 10 years).

Goal 1B: Transfer Prepared
An increase in the number of students who are Transfer Prepared from 106,951 in 1997-98 to 135,935 in 2005-06. Transfer prepared is defined as the net number of students systemwide who earned, within a six-year period, 56 transferable units with a minimum GPA of 2.00. A student reaching transfer prepared status in a prior academic year and is still enrolled is not counted during the current academic year.

Goal 2: Degrees and Certificates Awarded
By 2005-06, achieve an increase from 80,799 to 110,500 in the number of degrees and certificates awarded.
· AA/AS Degrees sub-goal: an increase from 57,076 to 78,000 (36.7% over 10 years).
· Certificates sub-goal: an increase from 23,723 to 32,500 (37.0% over 10 years).

Goal 3: Successful Course Completion (Transfer, Basic Skills, and Voc. Ed. Courses)
By 2005-06, achieve an increase from 68.1% to 70.6% (3.6% increase) in the overall rate of successful course completions (A,B,C,CR).
· Sub-goal for Transferable Courses: an increase from 68.3% to 70.8%.
· Sub-goal for Vocational Courses: an increase from 77.2% to 80.0%.
· Sub-goal for Basic Skills Courses: an increase from 60.3% to 62.5%.

Goal 4: Workforce Development
By 2005-06, achieve 35.6% increases (over 10 years) in successful (A,B,C,Cr) course completions in the following areas:
· "A" (Apprenticeship courses) from 16,810 to 22,788
· "B" (Advanced-level Vocational Courses) from 242,436 to 329,041
· "C" (Introductory Vocational Courses) from 684,385 to 927,887

Goal 5: Basic Skills Improvement
By 2005-06, achieve an increase from 108,566 to 150,754 (38.9% over 10 years) in the number of students completing coursework at least one level above their prior basic skills enrollment.

Note: To be counted as "improved" a student must have enrolled in a basic skills course, then in a subsequent term, they must enroll in a course with a program code in the same group but which is at a higher level within 3 academic years. The higher course must have been completed with a grade of "C" or better (or minimum attendance of 75% in non-credit). A student is only counted once in mathematics and/or English regardless of how many times they improve.
