A Study of GUST 0303: Examination of Enrollment, Demographics and Success Factors.
Houston Community Coll. System, TX. Office of Institutional Research.
GUST 0303, Orientation/College Study Skills, at the Houston Community College System (HCCS) (Texas), is designed to help students succeed in the college classroom. Students learn time management, goal setting techniques, listening and note taking skills, and strategies for studying and taking exams. This document offers a system-wide analysis of the program. All students who were enrolled in GUST 0303 in fall 1999, 2000, and 2001 are represented in the report. Sections 1 and 2 examine the HCCS students as a whole, while Section 3 consists of a college supplement that provides specific data for GUST 0303 students by HCCS college. Course enrollment was 809 in 1999, 1,769 in 2000, and 1,325 in 2001. At least 3% of enrollees were nonresident aliens, 0.2% were American Indian/Alaskan, 14% were white, 17% Asian/Pacific Islander, 28% black, and 37% Hispanic. Almost 67% of enrollees were between 18 and 21 years old. Completers of GUST 0303 earned an average of 9 units during the fall terms, in contrast with noncompleters, who earned an average of fewer than three units. Completers earned a mean grade-point average of 2.87, compared to just over 0.99 for noncompleters. More than 80% of completers returned for the following spring term, whereas fewer than half of noncompleters returned. (Contains 22 figures and 23 tables.) (NB)
