In the United States, many community college students--about 68 percent--enroll part-time, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Unfortunately, graduation rates for part-time students are low. Only 19 percent of people who begin attending community college as part-time students graduate within six years, compared with 36 percent of people who start community college enrolled full-time. Yet there is little information on how to help part-time students stay in college and ultimately graduate. How can higher education better support part-time student success? To address this knowledge gap, MDRC researchers conducted a multifaceted study in which they identified practices likely to support part-time student success. The research team reviewed relevant research literature, spoke with national and state higher education policy and practitioner experts, and interviewed staff and students from four promising student success initiatives.
