Weiss  \nMDRC  \nThis paper presents new estimates of the effects of the City University of New York’s (CUNY’s) Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) model, evaluated using a randomized controlled trial first in New York and later through a replication in Ohio. It presents longer-term effects of CUNY ASAP in New York, showing that the program’s effect on associate’s degree receipt persisted through 8 years and likely represents a permanent increase in degree receipt. It also presents an analysis from the pooled study samples in New York and Ohio. The findings indicate that the program had consistent effects on degree receipt across the two states but also for somewhat different levels of service contrast, such as the number of additional advising visits.  \nKeywords: community colleges, program evaluation, postsecondary education, experimental research, multi-site studies  \nPostsecondary education provides an important stepping-stone to well-paying jobs and the middle class for many low-income individuals. The nation’s community colleges play a vital part in that effort, serving about 40% of all postsecondary students and a disproportionate number of students from families with low-incomes (Ginder et al., 2019, Table 3) . They are accessible, typically with open admission policies, and they are, on average, much less expensive than 4-year colleges or private 2-year colleges.  \nUnfortunately, however, graduation rates from community colleges are low. Among firsttime, full-time, degree-seeking students entering public 2-year schools, only 25% graduate within 3 years (McFarland et al., 2019) . Policymakers and higher education administrators across the nation are striving to increase those rates. Such increases would benefit students and society inan economy that increasingly demands a highly educated workforce.  \nThere have been numerous reforms designed to increased students’ persistence in and completion  \nof community college. These include financial supports, enhanced advising, learning communities, pedagogical reforms, and messaging campaigns (see, for example, Angrist et al., 2009; Attewell et al., 2012; Bettinger & Baker, 2014; Bettinger et al., 2012; Castleman & Page, 2015; GoldrickRab et al., 2012; Miller et al., 2020; Patel et al., 2013; Richburg-Hayes et al., 2009; Scrivener et al., 2015; Scrivener & Weiss, 2009; Weiss et al., 2019) . These reforms often include one or two changes to business as usual, such as increased financial aid or increased aid combined with enhanced advising, and typically last for one or two semesters. When evaluated, many of these reforms led to modest increases in student progress and, occasionally, modest effects on graduation.  \nAmong the tested policies, one program model stands out: the City University of New York’s (CUNY’s) Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) . Designed and implemented by CUNY to help more students graduate and to help them graduate more quickly, ASAP is a comprehensive, integrated, 3-year student support program  \nASAP Synthesis  \nserving community college students from families with low-incomes. The program requires students to attend college full-time and encourages them to take remedial courses early, enroll in the summer, and graduate within 3 years. Students receive frequent advising, enhanced career services, and additional tutoring. Three forms of financial supports alleviate students’financial need: a tuition waiver, free use of textbooks,","cbCaikCFjedYQYfm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikCFjedYQYfm","pdf",1128428,24,"English","# Background and Motivation\n# Existing Reforms and Limits\n# The ASAP Model\n# Evaluation Design and Settings\n# Main Findings and Longer-Term Effects\n# Updated Results and Additional Outcomes","[{\"question\":\"How were the ASAP effects evaluated in this study?\",\"answer\":\"The paper estimates impacts using randomized controlled trials, first in New York and later through a replication in Ohio.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the findings say about graduation and degree receipt over time?\",\"answer\":\"In New York, the program’s effect on associate’s degree receipt persisted through 8 years and likely reflects a lasting increase.
