Randolph Community College Meets “Exceptional” Standards for N.C. Community Colleges for the Fourth Consecutive Year

Randolph Community College was one of only two community colleges in North Carolina that achieved “Exceptional Institutional Performance (EIP)” standards for the fourth consecutive year, according to the Critical Success Factors report released by the North Carolina Community College System last week.
           
Of the 58 N.C. community colleges, 27 met or exceeded the System standard on all seven performance measures, with 16 of those colleges receiving recognition for Exceptional Institutional Performance. The exceptional rating indicates
• A college met or exceeded all seven performance measures;
• A college received at least a 70 percent passing rate on all licensure exams for first-time test takers;
• Students transferring from that college into the UNC System perform at a level equal to or above native UNC System students—this year’s standard was 88%.

“These performance measures are very challenging and many colleges never surpass them all even one time. To have surpassed every measure four consecutive years is a great testament to the quality and dedication of RCC’s faculty and staff. They are truly passionate about the success of our students, and I am very proud of them.” said RCC President Robert S. Shackleford Jr.
