In compliance with US Dept. of Education sub section 602.16(a)(1)(i) on Institution Set Student Achievement Measures, College of Alameda has established multiple institutional student achievement benchmarks known as Institutional Set Standards. These standards include but are not limited to: course completion rates, persistence rates, program/certificate data, graduation rates, transfer rates and job placement rates for Career Education Programs.
All standards are in alignment with our college mission to serve the educational needs of its diverse community by providing comprehensive and flexible programs and resources that empower students to achieve their goals. Standards are evaluated annually by the Institutional Effectiveness Committee, reviewed by shared governance and approved by the College Council.

Methodology
For each metric, the Institutional Set Standard represents a minimum baseline or floor standard. The set standard is determined by gathering the most recent three years of data, calculating the standard deviation of the metric, then subtracting one standard deviation from the mean.
For each metric, the Institutional Stretch Goal represents an aspirational or stretch goal. The stretch goal is determined by gathering the most recent three years of data, calculating the standard deviation of the metric, then adding one standard deviation from the mean.
