Who We Are

The Office of Research & Planning believes student equity and success should be at the center of our work. We seek to cultivate a culture of inquiry that keeps students' experiences and aspirations at the forefront through disaggregated quantitative and qualitative data to inform planning and decision-making.

Vision 2030 includes the goal of equitably increasing the number of California community college students who earn a living wage. CCSF’s many Career Education programs contribute to this goal. Data updates each year include employment outcomes results that inform the ACCJC Annual Report.

Vision 2030 includes the goals of equity in success and equity in access. Data updates each year include the most recent access and outcomes data disaggregated by race/ethnicity and other demographics such as disability, first generation, and foster youth status. These data inform the CCSF Student Equity Plan and help focus the College on working to close opportunity gaps.

Additional studies provide insights into which students have been more likely to transition to credit and when student enrollment has traditionally peaked within each semester for open-entry courses:  

Transition to Credit - April 2020

Positive Attendance (PARS) - May 2019

Qualitative research tools, like focus groups, provide invaluable insights about student needs. In recent years, focus groups and "Listen & Learn" sessions, a type of quasi-focus group, have been conducted both internally by the Office of Research and Planning and externally by contractors. These efforts have yielded important insights for student services, enrollment management, and program design. By sharing these findings, we aim to amplify student voices and inspire action toward fulfilling CCSF’s mission and fostering institutional equity.
