Strategic Indicator Reports
What is a Strategic Indicator Report?
Valencia College's Strategic Indicator Reports provide an overview of key areas of importance to Valencia College —student demographics, student progression, online students, etc. The individual reports incorporate State of Florida accountability measures as well as Valencia College-generated data to present a succinct overview of self-defined student performance and student success indicators.
Additional Strategic Indicator Reports will be added in the future and current reports will be updated annually.
