RETENTION AND GRADUATION/COMPLETION RATES

Retention Rates

Retention Rates are calculated based on parameters defined by the U.S. Department of Education must be reported annually to the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES). Each fall, all first-time, full-time degree /certificate-seeking undergraduates form a cohort. The following fall, the cohort is examined to determine the number of students who have returned. This is also known a Fall to Fall retention.

The rates below show the percentage of degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who began in the fall term who return the next fall (1 year later).

Graduate Rates are calculated based on parameters defined by the U.S. Department of Education must be reported annually to the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES). Each fall, all first-time, full-time degree /certificate-seeking undergraduates form a cohort. Students in the cohort are tracked for 150% of the normal time of their program (6-years) to see how many complete their degree.

The rates below show the percentage of degree/certificate-seeking first-time, full-time, undergraduate students who begin in a specific fall term (cohort) and complete their programs within 150% of normal time to completion, as defined by NCES. For HLGU students enrolled in a 4-year academic degree program, for instance, the graduation rate shows the percentage of the students in a specific entering class who graduate within 6 years.
