- TEX-SIS Research Report, Spring 1985. Montemayor, J. Joaquin And Others College Graduates Community Colleges Dropouts Employer Attitudes Followup Studies Graduate Surveys Outcomes of Education Participant Satisfaction Questionnaires Student Attrition Student Educational Objectives Vocational Followup Withdrawal (Education) In January 1985, Glendale Community College (GCC) began a student follow-up system of data collection called TEX-SIS (Texas Student Information System) designed to evaluate instruction as well as student satisfaction with programs. Five major areas dealing with students were studied: student educational intent, student withdrawal (course, college, and walk-off), non-returning students, graduate follow-up, and employer follow-up. Surveys were conducted from late fall 1984 to June 30, 1985, with the number of survey respondents varying from 9 to 3,352. Highlighted findings included the following: (1) of the respondents to the student educational intent survey (N=3,352), 51% identified preparation for a new job and/or improvement of existing job skills as their primary objectives; (2) respondents to the withdrawal survey included 138 students who withdrew from classes (primarily for personal reasons); 282 students who withdrew from college (primarily because of conflicting job hours) and 9 students who disappeared from class or the college without officially withdrawing; (3) the non-returning students survey indicated that former students (N=319) were satisfied with the college's services, with highest ratings given to quality of instruction and library services; (4) the graduate follow-up survey revealed many similarities between graduates and non-returning students; (5) 81% of the 444 responding graduates rated their university preparatory work as "satisfactory" or "excellent"; (6) the average annual salary for non-returning students was $23,484, while that for graduates was $21,688; and (7) 88% of the 91 employers who responded to the follow-up survey gave an overall rating of "good" or "very good" to former GCC students.
