Students who enrolled in "student life skills" (SLS) courses were 8 percent more likely than their peers to earn a credential

According to data analysis in a 2007 CCRC study, students who enrolled in SLS courses were 8 percent more likely than their peers to earn a credential, holding all else constant. Among students who never enrolled in remediation, SLS course enrollment is associated with a 9 percent increase in the probability of success. For students who enrolled in one or more credits of remediation, SLS enrollment is associated with a 5 percent increase.
