3. 3 Agenda  Introductions  Four Key Points:  APR OMB Clearance Status of APRs  GPRA 2 Definition  GPRA 2 Calculation & Knowledge Checks  Reporting GPRA 2 in the APR  Wrap-Up  Q & A

4. 4 Key Point #1 – APR Clearance Status  HEP APR Clearance Status  Cleared OMB No. 1810-0684  DRAFT version is not cleared (due to pending changes)  Expected to be cleared within 10 business days  APR Due Date is November 15, 2012  CAMP APR Clearance Status  Cleared OMB No. 1810-0689  DRAFT version is not cleared (due to pending changes)  Expected to be cleared within 10 business days  APR Due Date is November 15, 2012

5. 5 Key Point #2: What is GPRA 2?  GPRA stands for Government Performance and Results Act.  2012 HEP National Target for GPRA 2= 80%  80% of the no. of GED attainers will be placed into postsecondary education, vocational training, upgraded employment, or the military.  2012 CAMP National Target for GPRA 2 = 85%  85% of CAMP 1 st academic year completers will continue into postsecondary education

6. 6 Key Point #2: What is GPRA 2? (Pgs. 13-14 of APR)  HEP - What does it mean to be “placed?”  Actual placement and not anticipated placement into one of the 3 placement options  Placed students can be counted up until the performance report is due (i.e., Nov. 15 th )  Postsecondary program should lead to an A.A., B.A., or B.S. degree  Vocational program should lead to a credential, certificate, or degree that leads to upgraded employment  Upgraded employment is a job position improvement whether it’s with current employer or different employer (p. 13-14 of HEP APR)  Military-Enlisted

7. 7 Key Point #2: What is GPRA 2? (Pgs. 13-14 of APR)  CAMP - What does it mean to continue into postsecondary education?  Actual enrollment and not anticipated enrollment into postsecondary education  Continuing students can be counted up until the performance report is due (i.e., Nov. 15 th )  Student must remain enrolled past the date when students can no longer add courses, or a census date (whichever is the point when a student’s official enrollment status for the academic term is evaluated).

8. 8 Key Point #2 : GPRA 2 Measure Definition HEP :  GPRA 2 Measure: The percentage of HEP General Educational Development (GED) attainers. CAMP:  GPRA 2 Measure: The percentage of CAMP first academic year completers who continue into a postsecondary education program.

9. 9 Key Point #3: HEP: GPRA 2 Calculation For grantees who actually SERVE LESS than the number funded to be served and SERVE EXACLY the total number funded to be served: Formula for GPRA 2 Measure = no. of GED attainers placed no. of GED attainers

10. HEP: Knowledge Check √ Q1. Red Carpet HEP Project is funded to serve 60 students per year. The HEP served 52 students during the 11-12 budget period. Out of the 52 students served, 45 students attained their GED and 41 of the GED attainers were placed. A1. GPRA Measure 2: ___41___ 45 = 91% 10

12. 12 Key Point #3: CAMP: GPRA 2 Calculation For grantees who actually SERVE LESS than the number funded to be served and SERVE EXACLY the total number funded to be served: Formula for GPRA 2 Measure = no. of CAMP 1 st academic yr. completers who continue no. of CAMP 1 st academic yr. completers

13. CAMP: Knowledge Check √ Q2. Velvet Rope University is funded to serve 75 students per year. The university served 68 students during the 11-12 budget period.

14. CAMP: Knowledge Check √ Q3. Oscar Award University is funded to serve 50 students per year. The university served 88 students during the 11-12 budget period. Out of the 88 students served, 54 students successfully completed their first year of college and 40 of the those students continued their postsecondary education. A3. GPRA Measure 2: ___40____ 54 = 74% 14
