These moments are concentrated early in the college experience—some even before they reach their first class—and occur less frequently as students build academic momentum and the confidence required to persist. –Momentum Point: Moments or junctures throughout the student experience that are likely to increase student success. Completion by Design aims to mitigate the loss points and fortify the momentum points for students. –Completion: defined as an associate’s degree, a successful transfer or a credential with labor market value. –Low income: Pell eligible –Gateway Courses: typically defined as college algebra and freshman composition courses, or the transition courses after developmental education. –30+ Hours: FTIC students that are currently enrolled with 30+ hours from Lone Star College but no certificate or degree. –EDUC 1300: Students who have placed into 2 or more Developmental Education courses. –Business Concentrators: Students who have completed 9 or more hours in a Business related field, to include courses from the AAS in accounting, AAS in business and management, as well as business classes in the AA and AS business field of study.
