The purpose of this website is to inform the reader about Time to Completion (TTC) issues. Terms used in the navigational bars may be new to some users. Please use the definitions below to help guide your TTC experience.
Policy Levers presents research on key issues impacting time to completion. Research points to four key issues that can have the greatest impact on time to completion: Degree/Program Requirements; Transferring Credit; Developmental Education; and Financing College. Each lever has an overview page and links to sources both in the TTC Research Database and on the web.
Policy Options features policy suggestions for changes at the federal-, state- and institution-level that can begin to reverse current time to completion trends.
The Idea Library details policies, programs, and practices that states, systems, and colleges and universities have implemented to impact time to completion. The ideas listed range from "tried and true" to new, untested approaches.
TTC Research Database is a database containing reports and research relevent to time to completion. The database is organized by four main categories: Demographics, institution Type, Policy Lever, and Policy Level. A user is able to search resources using multiple categories, in flexible combinations.
Delicious is a social bookmarking service that allows users to tag, save, manage, and share web pages from a centralized source. The TTC project uses delicious to save articles, mostly from higher education trade publications, newspapers, blogs, or institutions, that reference time to completion, or any of the factors impacting time to completion.
