Student Success

CCV Graduation, 2012

CCV is wholly committed to the academic success of CCV students.  The College is committed to helping students achieve their goals of staying in college and earning a degree.  In 2009, CCV joined the Achieving the Dream initiative.  As part of this initiative we have been tracking and using data to bring to light patterns of student success.  In 2011, CCV was identified as an Achieving the Dream Leader College that is recognized for using data to identify practices that best support our students' success and degree completion.  Through our collaborative team efforts, work with national experts, pilot programs and data analysis, we have begun to identify successful practices that we hope CCV students will follow to optimize their success.
