Assessment information is used as part of the PBA process to inform the Planning effort. This information includes:

The Butte-Glenn Community College District Snapshot provides service area information, demographic data, enrollment patterns and other information about the institution.

Program Review Data provides the information required in the new program review that is currently being piloted. It includes student demographics, success/retention/efficiency data, course-level information, detailed student success data, faculty demographics and cost-effectiveness data for each discipline.

The Balanced Scorecard provides institutional outcomes for the core processes and measurements of effectiveness for the goals in the District’s Strategic Direction. This information is used to inform the annual refinement of the District's Strategic Direction.

Periodically, the District conducts surveys to determine student, faculty and staff satisfaction with services and processes. Student, faculty, and staff surveys are provided at the following links:

In Spring 2008 and Spring 2011, the college administered the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE). This nationally normed student survey enables the college to compare itself to other large community colleges across the nation in the areas most likely to lead to student success. Butte College CCSSE results include a Benchmark Comparison showing the college's performance on the five areas most likely to lead to student success, the Five Highest and Five Lowest Aspects from the survey, and a college generated CCSSE Report that describes the responses to each question along with a comparison to the large college peer group and to the 2008 survey results and a campus CCSSE presentation.

Each year Butte College publishes its Accountability Reporting for Community Colleges (ARCC) results. The ARCC is mandated by AB 1417 and provides a variety of system-wide and college indicators.

The ARCC report provides the following system-wide indicators:

• Number and percentage of baccalaureate students graduating from UC and CSU who attended a community college
• Annual number of community college transfers to four year institutions
• Transfer rate to four year institutions from the California Community College System
• Annual number of degrees and certificates conferred by vocational programs
• The increase in personal income as a result of a vocational degree/certificate
• The annual number of basic skills improvements
• System-wide participation rates (by selected demographics)
  
  

College indicators tracked in the ARCC report include the following:

• Student progress and achievement
• Percentage of students who earn at least 30 units
• Persistence rate
• Annual successful course completion rate for credit vocational courses
• Annual successful course completion rate for credit basic skills courses
• Improvement rate for credit basic skills courses
• Improvement rate for credit ESL courses
  
  

The college's Reports Server provides a wide variety of reports that are helpful for a number of reports on student demographics, enrollment management, instructional programs, student services, and institutional research.
