PDP: Impact of College Readiness on Time to Credential for First-Time Students

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) Time to Credential and Credentials Conferred Dashboard to explore the relationship between college readiness and time to credential among first-time students. Participants will learn to apply filters, use disaggregated metrics by Math and English preparation, and interpret differences in time-to-degree completion. These insights can support strategies to accelerate student success and improve support services for underprepared learners.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Navigate the Time to Credential and Credentials Conferred Dashboard.
  • Compare time-to-degree outcomes for students ready and not ready for college-level math and English.
  • Understand how academic preparedness impacts credential completion timelines.
  • Use data insights to inform institutional practices and student support interventions.
