Student Success KPI: Retention Rate

Definitions: Retention Rate is the percentage of first-time degree/certificate-seeking students from the previous fall who either re-enrolled or successfully completed their program by the current fall.

• Full-time retention rate is calculated using the percentage of full-time (those who enrolled in 12 or more credit hours), first-time degree/certificate-seeking students.
• Part-time retention rate is calculated using the percentage of part-time (those who enrolled in less than 12 credit hours), first-time degree/certificate-seeking students.
