Randolph Community College One of 11 N.C. Community Colleges to Meet "Exceptional" Standards

Randolph Community College was one of 11 community colleges in North Carolina that met "Exceptional Institutional Performance" standards in the annual accountability measures for North Carolina's 58 community colleges, according to a report released yesterday. In addition to meeting or exceeding all eight system standards, these 11 schools met additional performance goals. Those goals were achieving the college performance rates of students who began in, rather than transferred into, the UNC System and attaining at least a 70 percent passing rate for students who sit for a licensure or certification exam for the first time. The accountability measures are based on 2007-08 academic year data.

"I am so proud of our RCC team. Meeting and surpassing these standards says that RCC provides the very highest quality of education and service to our students, as well as to our local businesses and industries," said RCC President Robert S. Shackleford Jr. "The North Carolina legislature and community college system give us these measures that require us to demonstrate how well we are serving our students and community, and we are one of the very few community colleges in the state that made straight As. I am very proud of our faculty and staff who give their dedicated best each day to each student and to our community."
