2013 NSHE Remedial ReportHighlights
EMBARGOED UNTILMay 6, 2014
Reporting Changes
Historical MethodologyImperfect, but the best we had
Remedial rates based on enrollment – not placement Prior availability of data limited the reporting to enrollment
Nevada Revised Statutes 396.548 requires enrollment reporting
Enrollment rates vary for any number of reasons, including the number of available sections, delivery agreements between institutions, etc.
Enrollment rate captured students who enrolled in summer and fall only – many students defer enrollment to spring and beyond
Enrollment rate historically captured remedial courses only at the home institution, not co-requisite/stretch courses, or skills labs or enrollment at another NSHE institution

Percent of Recent High School Graduates Enrolled in Remediation Immediately Following Graduation
Summer and Fall Enrollments Only
Fewer students enrolling in remedial courses does not mean fewer students need remediation. 3
Reporting Changes
New and Improved Methodology
Remedial rates based on placement The percent of students “placed” into a remedial English and/or
mathematics course in summer, fall or spring immediately following high school graduation based on the institutions’ placement protocols
Students who are “placed” into a remedial course may not immediately enroll in the course
New method captures students who need remediation (based on placement), not just those who enroll in a remedial course
4
Reporting Changes
Providing a broader picture . . . including enrollment rates
Captures all the remedial enrollment options Remedial courses Skills labs, co-requisite/stretch and technical courses – not captured
in the historical methodology
Captures students enrolled in ANY lab or course at ANY institution To eliminate the effects of “swirling” on enrollment rates the new
methodology captures students placed at one institution who may have chosen to enroll in a remedial course at another NSHE institution -- first enrollments only reported
Rate includes recent high school graduates enrolled in summer, fall or spring
