Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The success of Â鶹ÊÓƵ students is the heart of Â鶹ÊÓƵ's mission of connecting learning, life and community. Student success is the passion of the faculty and staff who choose to work at Â鶹ÊÓƵ. One way (but not the only way) Â鶹ÊÓƵ looks at that success is through the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Student Achievement Measures. Â鶹ÊÓƵ developed these measures in 2022 to comply with NWCCU's requirements (Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s accreditor), but uses them to support mission fulfillment, evaluate institutional effectiveness and to work for all Â鶹ÊÓƵ students and graduates to achieve their goals.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ Student Achievement Measures (Disaggregated Data and Peer Comparisons)

See Student-Right-to-Know for the specific calculations required by the Student-Right-to-Know Act/Higher Education Act.

RETENTION RATES (MOST RECENT 5 YEARS)

This retention rate is the proportion of students who return to enroll in a second fall semester out of all those who entered Â鶹ÊÓƵ as first years (freshmen) in the previous fall. For example, if 100 students enter and 100 students return the next year, the retention rate is 100%.

GRADUATION RATES (MOST RECENT 5 YEARS)

This graduation rate is the proportion of students who completed their bachelor's degrees within the specified time out of all those who entered Â鶹ÊÓƵ as first-year students (freshman) in the year specified. For example, if 100 students enter and 80 students graduate within 4 years, 90 students graduate within 5 years, and 100 students graduate within 6 years, the graduation rates are 80%, 90%, and 100%, respectively. The time frame specified does not necessarily reflect continuous enrollment. For example, a student who entered in the fall of 2019 and graduated in 2024 (5 years) may have taken a semester or a year away from school during that time.​
