Success Points are awarded for the following: college readiness; completing 15 and 30 semester credit hours (SCH); transfer to a 4-year institution; completing a first college-level course; degrees earned; and degrees earned in critical fields. For tracking readiness in math, reading and writing, only students who are not ready as FTUG can potentially qualify for a point. Only if the student was not ready when FTUG at either the same district or another district, but became ready for the first time at the same district as the cohort record in year measured, will the point be awarded. If an eligible student is reported ready for the first time by two districts in the same semester, each district receives credit. Points for completing 15 or 30 SCH are determined by accumulating a student’s successfully completed SCH from 3 previous years, plus the year being measured. If the student reaches at least 15 or 30 completed SCH at same district as the cohort record for the first time in year measured, then a point is awarded. If a point was awarded in previous two prior fiscal years, no point is awarded. Transfer point is awarded to a student found enrolled for first time at public/private university in year measured who has a record of successfully completing at least 15 SCH at a two-year institution prior to university enrollment. The 15 SCH at the community college must be earned during the 3 years prior to the year found at a university for the first time. Points for first college level course in math, reading and writing are awarded to students passing the course at same district as the cohort record with a grade of “A”, “B” or “C” in fiscal year measured. If an eligible student is reported as successfully completing a first college-level course for the first time by two districts in the same semester, each district receives credit. Points are awarded to students who complete a degree, certificate, or are a core curriculum completer (CCC). Points are awarded for degrees and certificates in critical fields in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM) or allied health major. Majors include CIPs “11” “14” “15” “27” “40” "3001" "5138" "5139" "5102" "5106" "5107" "5108" "5109" "5110" "5118" "5123" "5126" "5127" "5131" "5132" "5133" "5134" "4102" "4103" "4703" Unduplicated degrees and certificates awarded by the district in the fiscal year being measured are counted (one degree or award per student). Critical fields are given priority over non-critical fields. Weights are applied to points as follows: college ready math=1, reading=.5, writing=.5; successful completion of 15 SCH=1, 30SCH=1.5; transfer=3; first college-level math=1, read=.5, write=.5; degree or certificate (non-critical)=1.2, critical=3.25.
