3. IPEDS: Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System
The completion of all IPEDS surveys, in a timely and accurate manner, is mandatory for all institutions that participate or are applicants for participation in any Federal financial assistance program authorized by Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended.
IPEDS data are a public face of our institution.  They are used by students and parents, through the College Navigator website, to aid in the college search process; at the federal, state, and local level for policy analysis and development; at the institutional level for benchmarking and peer analysis; and by professional associations, private businesses, and the media.

COD will be included on the College Navigator website ( a college search tool designed for parents, prospective students, and high school counselors.
The IPEDS Data Feedback Report, produced annually, compares COD to a group of similar institutions on a number of indicators.  This report is available through the Executive Peer Tool (
IPEDS data are tabulated at the national, state, and sector level; tables are available through the Tables Library (

13. ARCC – Accountability Reporting for Community Colleges
In 1995 the State of California and the California Community College system implemented the Partnership for Excellence (PFE). PFE was designed to improve student performance on five outcome measures over a 10-year period. The measures were: 1a. Transfers; 1b. Transfer Prepared; 2. Degrees and Certificates; 3. Successful Course Completion; 4. Workforce Development; and 5. Basic Skills Improvement.
Beginning with the 2006 academic year, the State of California and the Community College system have renewed their commitment to improving student performance. The new program is called Accountability Reporting for Community Colleges (ARCC).

The purpose of ARCC is to evaluate each college’s performance based on the state’s educational outcomes priorities, to present a fair picture of how colleges across the state are performing, and to provide colleges with information that will help them to improve their programs. ARCC indicators track a cohort of students as they progress through the California Community College system.
