The following data
depicts Victor Valley College's student statistics for the Fall semester
of 1999.
All data are based upon an overall, unduplicated headcount on the first
day of first census.
Chart 1 illustrates that
VVC credit students represent 90.3% of the overall student population whereas
non-credit students represent 9.7% of the student population.
Chart 2 reveals that
females account for nearly two-thirds of the student population.
The two largest groups
depicted in Chart 3 are 18-20 years of age (26.7%) and 31-40 years of age
(18.2%).
Also of interest, the average age of students is 31.
In most age categories,
females account for a higher percentage of students than males. For instance,
20.3%
of females in comparison to 14.6% of males are at or between the ages of
31 and 40. In contrast, males
(33.4%) show a higher percentage than females (22.9%) at or between the
ages of 18 and 20.
As the findings in Chart
5 indicate, 43.4% of students are enrolled in credit courses during the
day. This
is a larger percentage than students taking day and evening, credit courses
and only evening credit courses
combined.
Chart 6 indicates that
44.9% of students are obtaining a G.P.A. of 3.0 or better.
As indicated in Chart
7, 47.1% of the female population has earned a G.P.A. of 3.0 or better;
whereas, 40.4% of the male
population has earned a G.P.A. of 3.0 or better.
Chart 8 depicts the various
types of female students.
| TYPE
OF STUDENT |
Female |
| New
student = A student enrolled in any college for the first time
after high school and exclusive of summer term enrollment. |
1,466 |
| New
transfer student = A student enrolled at VVC for the first time
and who transferred from another institution of higher education. |
342 |
| Returning
transfer student = A student who has previously attended VVC,
transferred to another college, and has now returned to VVC. |
124 |
| Returning
student = A student enrolled at VVC after an absence of one or
more regular sessions without interim attendance at another college. |
717 |
| Continuing
student = A student who is enrolled in the current session and
who was enrolled in the previous regular session. |
3,643 |
* A student who is enrolled
in college yet continues to attend high school. The female count for this
category is 272.
Male students by type
are depicted in Chart 9.
| TYPE

| New

for the first time and who transferred from another institution of
higher education. |
251 |
| Returning

68 |
| Returning

at another college. |
359 |
| Continuing

who was enrolled in the previous regular session. |
1,769 |
* A student who is enrolled
in college yet continues to attend high school. The male count for this
category is 178.
Chart 10 illustrates
that the largest unit category is 12-15, encompassing 26.4% of the student
population.
Most categories reveal
similar gender proportions as indicated in Chart 11. However, 12.1% of the
female
population in comparison to only 5.5% of the male population are currently
enrolled in non-credit courses (0.0 units).
Chart 12 depicts a large
percentage (30.8%) of students taking a single class. This percentage is
large because
of non-credit students. For example, in adding the percentage of students
taking 0.0 and .5-3.0 units, the total
(29.7%) is very close to the percentage viewed for students taking one class.
Chart 13 indicates that
both males and females are enrolling in a very similar manner.
The table below reveals
the counts depicted graphically in Chart 14 above.
