AB 705 Implementation
Under the implementation of AB 705,Citrus College made changes to transfer-level math courses with the purpose of increasing completion of transfer-level math within a one-year timeframe. These changes included students' placement in the math course sequence, classroom redesign, and pedagogy. To better understand the student experience as a result of these modifications, students were surveyed about their experience in the newly redesigned courses.

Citrus College participates in the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) every two years. This nationwide survey examines student's experiences and perceptions as they relate to their engagement and learning at the college.

Beginning with the 2018 administration of the survey, the college has opted to provide some of the more in-depth results through an interactive dashboard experience.

Introductions
From time to time, members of Citrus College have received requests from persons wishing to conduct research on campus involving Citrus employees or students. In order to ensure that research participants are fully aware of the nature of the study, their rights are protected, and that the research aligns with the mission, vision, values and strategic objectives of Citrus College, this Research Project Approval Form has been established to protect class time, employee and student rights and college liability.

Guidelines
The following guidelines apply to all external research projects involving Citrus College. An external research project is defined as: "any research project or study which is outside the normal day-to-day operations of Citrus College." A typical example of an external research project is one conducted by a masters or doctoral student who wishes to ask Citrus College students or employees to participate in a study. Examples of normal day-to-day operations include program reviews, student learning outcomes and assessment, and projects which are part of a Citrus College course.

Obtaining Permissions
Anyone - employees, students or external persons - who wishes to initiate an external research project must secure permission by first completing the Research Project Approval Form. All campus constituents should forward any external research request to the office of institutional research, planning and effectiveness (IRPE). The Citrus College Research Review Board (CCRRB) will review the application, discuss changes/implications with the principal investigator, and make final recommendations to the appropriate vice president. As a sub-committee of the Institutional Research and Planning Committee (IRPC), CCRRB is composed of the IRPC chair, a faculty representative, and a dean from academic affairs or student services. A copy of all research findings will be kept in the IRPC office.

Citrus College employees and students as well as external persons wishing to conduct on-campus research projects should be directed to Lan Hao, Ph.D, director of Institutional Research, at (626) 914-8521 or lhao@citruscollege.edu  

Download the Research Project Approval Form
and when completed send all required documents via email to lhao@citruscollege.edu.

2020 Online Forms Survey · January 2021
In fall 2019, the Admissions and Records Office worked with TeCS to implement new software that would make it easier for students to submit online forms, such as the graduation petition form. To assess the implementation and effectiveness of these online forms, a survey was administered to students. Forms examined were Exceptional Action Petition, Graduation Petition, Incomplete Grade Contact, Pass/No Pass Petition, Prerequisites Clearance Form, and Transcript Evaluation Request.

Spring 2020 Transfer-Readiness and Fall 2020 Transfer-Readiness
In collaboration with the Career/Transfer Center, the IRPE office decided to use the RP Group's Through the Gate statewide transfer study as a guide to conduct our own students’ transfer-readiness using spring 2020 term data. In a follow-up project, fall 2020 students’ transfer-readiness was examined, as well as students’ completion of the four basic skill general education transfer requirements. This data can be used to support conversations about transfer and what strategies can facilitate this transition for more students.
