The crux of the information is that over the last three semesters of online courses, Spring 2014, Fall 2014, and Spring 2015, non-first time freshmen had a success rate (% of grades as A, B, or C) in the 55-60% range. This is lower than other classifications over the same time period: sophomores = 62-80% range, juniors = 75-80% range, and seniors = 77-80% range. This data, however, does not look at the performance of Freshmen in on-line versus traditional courses. A look at that data will be needed to evaluate possible reasons for the differences in success."

Another Senator pointed out that 230+ students were admitted before the standards were enforced, their admission was honored and that will not happen in the future. A Senator said that on appeal some were admitted considerably below standards and another reported seeing an ACT score of 12 for one admit."
