Institutional Data & Reports

Enrollment

By Attendance Level

This count reflects all individual undergraduate students enrolled for credit at any point during the 12-month academic year, with each student counted only once. It includes full-time, part-time, credential-seeking, and non-credential-seeking students, including high school students enrolled for college credit. Attendance level shows the number of students based on their credit load based on their first full term of enrollment. Full-time students are counted if enrolled in 12 or more credits, while students are considered part-time if enrolled in less than 12 credits.

By Educational Goal

Enrollment by education goal groups students based on their primary reason for attending. Credential-seeking students are enrolled in programs leading to an undergraduate certificate or degree, while non-credential-seeking students are taking college courses for personal enrichment or skill development purposes without pursuing a full credential. High school students enrolled for college credit are considered non-degree/certificate-seeking students.

By Entry Status

Enrollment by entry status categorizes all undergraduate students seeking a degree or certificate based on how they entered the institution, with each student counted only once for the academic year. New entering students are starting college for the first time, transfer students have previously attended another college or university, and continuing students are either continuing from a previous academic year or re-enrolling after a break in their studies, highlighting the different pathways students take to pursue their education. This count does not include students not seeking a degree or certificate nor high school students enrolled for college credit.

Retention

First-to-Second Year Fall Retention

The percentage of first-time, degree- or certificate-seeking students who start in fall semester and return the following fall semester, reported separately for full-time and part-time enrolled students and overall for all credential-seeking students. It does not include transfer students, returning students, non-degree-seeking students, or students who start in spring or summer semesters. Strong retention rates are a sign that students are finding the support they need to stay on track.

Completion

Total Completions

The total number of degrees and certificates awarded to students during each academic year. Completions include the number of awards, not individual students. Students who complete more than one program in a year are counted for each credential awarded.

150% Normal Time Completions (Student Right to Know Graduation Rate)

The percentage of first-time, full-time degree- or certificate-seeking students who complete their program within 150% of the normal time. For a two-year associate degree, three years would be considered 150% of normal time.
