4-Year Average Summary Statistics
Student Success Outcomes by Race/Ethnicity and Gender
Understanding the Metrics
This report reflects the 4-year average Graduation, Transfer-Out, Success, and Still Enrolled rates of the full-time, first-time, degree/certificate seeking students (Right-to-Know Cohort) enrolled in Fall 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. Graduation or transfer-out status is determined within 150% (3 years) of the normal time to program completion.
Graduation Rate: Percentage of students who completed their program within 150% of normal time (3 years for associate degrees)
Transfer-Out Rate: Percentage of non-completers who transferred to another institution within the 150% timeframe
Success Rate: Combined percentage of students who either graduated or transferred (Graduation Rate + Transfer-Out Rate)
Still Enrolled Rate: Percentage of students from the cohort still enrolled after 3 years but not yet completed
