• The associate degree is not required for transfer to NSHE universities and state college.
• A high percentage of NSHE community college students enroll part-time. (77% enrolled part-time in Fall 2004, second highest in the WICHE states)
• Students can receive the Millennium Scholarship at the community colleges by enrolling in only 6 credits.
• Open admission at community colleges makes capturing student educational intent difficult.
