Yearly Success and Progress Rates. Sixth in the Series
Lang, R.; Ryu, M.; Shapiro, D.
National Student Clearinghouse
The "Yearly Success and Progress Rates" report goes beyond traditional student outcome measures by showing year-by-year rates of retention, persistence, transfer, completion and stop-out. It is designed to help institutions and states better identify and inform effective intervention points to increase student success. This report examines yearly academic progress for approximately 2.3 million individuals who began college for the first time in fall 2014 with the intent to earn a credential. Their yearly progress and success rates can be compared with previous cohorts nationally, and by state, through the interactive data dashboards newly added this year. Academic progress is measured in each subsequent academic year for six years after entry. The report shows the highest level of academic progress made, broken out by the type of starting institution and enrollment intensity at entry (full-time vs. part-time). In the latest entering cohort, the steady growth in the six-year college completion rate started to slow down for full-time starters, and the rate declined notably for part-time starters. Full-time starters at community colleges earned a credential at the highest rate in six years whereas the stop-out rate increased sharply for their part-time counterparts. [For the fifth report in the series, see ED609964.]
