Who We Are

The Research team believes students' experiences and aspirations should be at the center of every decision. We transform data into knowledge that includes and honors every student. This knowledge is continuously improved by the college through critical inquiry and reflection, and it serves as the foundation for all college plans and actions.

We support the mission of City College of San Francisco by partnering with college constituents to transform inquiries into insights. We leverage student data, domain expertise, and our data analysis skills to guide the college toward student-focused decisions at all levels.

Reports and Briefs

Four student retention programs, CalWORKs, EOPS, Guardian Scholars, and HARTS, collaborated with the Office of Research and Planning to assess their shared Student Services Outcome: program provides students a welcoming space and community that will serve to encourage persistence. In this qualitative research study, the Office of Research and Planning facilitated focus groups with students from the four retention programs. We found similar themes related to program space needs were often largely shared within a program, and each program shared similarities with other programs related to the goals of students, but each program appears to have overall different space needs. We also found that students value community they find within these programs, actively building community through their interactions with each other both organically and through program facilitated events.

This set of charts and tables describes CTE at City College from AY 2016-17 through AY 2018-19. Data include credit and noncredit total FTES, awards, course success, hours of attendance, and department contribution to FTES -- disaggregated by CTE and non-CTE. Students are compared across CTE and non-CTE for credit and noncredit, disaggregated by age, ethnicity, and residency.

Additional CTE data includes the CTE Employment Outcomes Survey (CTEOS) results for 2019, as well as reports for CTE trends at CCSF.

This annually produced set of charts and tables describe student enrollments in noncredit courses at CCSF over a ten year period. Student demographics for students enrolled in noncredit and credit are compared, including ethnicity and age, along with other characteristics such as enrollment by department and center.

This brief examines noncredit course-taking behaviors and subsequent credit enrollments for first-time noncredit ESL students in three cohorts, disaggregated by age, ethnicity, sex, ESLN level, and location of coursework. Students who begin noncredit coursework at higher ESLN levels transition to credit at higher rates than do those beginning at lower ESLN levels, female students transition at a higher rate than male students, Asian students transition at a higher rate than Latino/a students, and younger students transition at higher rates than older students. This analysis helps inform our understanding of students who transition from noncredit ESL to credit coursework.

This annual report contains disaggregated data used to review equity gaps, assess progress, and plan for improvement. Measures include course success; progress through the math, English and ESL sequence; completion data (i.e. transfer, degrees, certificates); matriculation services and more for credit, as well as for noncredit where applicable. Data are disaggregated by race/ethnicity, gender, and other demographic groups such as foster youth, veterans and students with disabilities.  

Student Equity and Achievement Data - September 2019 

This study incorporates ten years of Positive Attendance Roster Sheet (PARS) data. Open enrollment allows for students to enter at any time in the semester. However, after the semester's halfway point relatively few new students entered into noncredit classes. Enrollment generally peaked at the end of the first month, then slowly declined, with a sharp drop off in the last week or two of the semester. Analysis for the entire college, by department, and by center showed little variation among departments or centers; however, programs with cohorts showed more consistent enrollment across the semester. Individual department or campus reports available upon request.

To better understand the impact of credit class cancellations on overall student enrollment at City College of San Francisco (CCSF), we analyzed enrollment records for students who were dropped from a credit class due to the class’ cancellation in Fall 2016, Fall 2017, and Fall 2018 semesters. In addition, we analyzed demographic characteristics of students enrolled in canceled class sections for Fall 2018, and compared results to those from a similar study completed in Fall 2016.
