The Stories of DPP Students
A study of lived experiences
DPP Student ExperienceLived Experience Themes
Blending and Swirling: The Student Experience
1. Identifying as DPP student
2. Gaining (re-gaining) momentum at the CC
3. Testing out the University
4. Moving thoughtfully between two institutions
5. Settling into the University
Blending and Swirling: The DPP Student Experience
Community College
Degree Partner University
DPP Student Experience
1. DPP Student Transition and Adjustment Highlights
– Students utilize academic opportunities and services at the CC to prepare for the university environment
– Student enrollment patterns between the two school allow student to transition slowly to the university
– Students utilize opportunities at the university to integrate socially– Students invest social and academic energy at both schools– Students do not report abrupt transitions, feelings of alienation,
and school separation anxiety– Students do not report decreased academic performance at the
university
DPP Student Experience2. Degree Partnership Students Voice Similar Needs
– Lack of self-confidence and positive self-perceptions regarding readiness for university experience
– Desire to gain or re-gain confidence, competency, and momentum for their university experience
– Desire to utilize the diverse, small, and supportive environment of CC
– Concerned about affordability of college– A clear path, identity and connection to OSU
DPP Student Experience3. Degree Partnership Students Utilized Two
Educational Settings
– DPP Students have positive experiences in CC Classes– DPP Students describe CC faculty as preparing them for
university environment– DPP Students utilize community education classes and
centers throughout their student experience– DPP Students have a positive view of CC and it’s role within
community and society– DPP Students value university identity and comprehensive
services
DDP Student Experience4. Students Experience Some Administrative and Social
Difficulties
– Difficultly with financial aid and scholarships– No centralized services or information for DPP students– Not easy to meet other DPP students and mentors– Transportation between schools can be challenging– Not all University faculty, advisors and students know about
DPP• Must explain degree partnership to university personnel
Implications1. DPP is Changing the Transition and Adjustment Student
Experience
– Early integration into the university, even before attending classes– Transition to university is spread out over time and at a slower
pace– Social transition can be separated from the academic transition– The number of academic and social integration opportunities are
increased and diverse– Articulation difficulty reduced– More information about DPP students is needed
Implications2. DPP is Improving Access to Higher Education for
Students Who…
– Lack confidence for the university experience– Lack financial resources– Seek a supportive and diverse learning environment before
entering the university– Need an alternative to departure from the university– Need a clearer path to the university– Want to state their University identity and intention from the
beginning
Implications
3. DPP Provides an Opportunity to Utilize the Strengths of the CC
– CC environment built social and academic confidence in DDP students
– CC small classes and CC faculty were valued by DPP students
– Cohorts formed at the CC support DPP students at the university

What do we still need to learn?
• What data/story surprised you?
• From your perspective, what information tells you how the program is working?
• What questions are still unanswered?
• What are the three most important questions to be answered?
