Robeson Community College history

In 1993, the State Board of Community Colleges began monitoring performance data on specific measures to ensure public accountability for programs and services.

In the summer of 1995, the construction of the Emergency Services Training Center began.

The College Transfer program replaced the General Education program in curriculum in 1997, opening up many more educational opportunities for RCC students who choose to further their education through one of the state’s universities.

In 1998, the General Assembly directed the State Board to review past performance measures and define standards to ensure programs and services offered by community colleges in North Carolina were of sufficient quality.

In 2004, the College completed its Continuing Education facility at COMtech.

In 2010, a review process was established to ensure the measures and methods for evaluating colleges were current and remained focused on improving student success.

As previous performance measures were being finalized in 2012, a Performance Funding Committee was appointed to develop a performance funding model incorporated into colleges’ regular formula budget allocations.

The outcomes funding model associated with the performance measures was implemented in 2013.

The Committee formally presented the following seven measures to the State Board in March 2015:

These measures were approved by the State Board and adopted by the General Assembly in 2016 through Section 10.1 of S.L.2016-94.
