One Goal

One Goal – Success For ALL Community College Students: 

Achieving the Dream seeks to help more students earn postsecondary credentials, including occupational certificates and degrees. Since community college students often take several years to earn certificates or degrees, Achieving the Dream works with institutions to improve student progression through intermediate milestones.

These indicators include the rates at which students:

1. Successfully complete remedial or developmental instruction and advance to credit-bearing courses
2. Enroll in and successfully complete the initial college-level or gatekeeper courses in subjects such as math and English
3. Complete the courses they take with a grade of "C" or better
4. Persistence from one term to the next
5. Attain a credential
