The University of North Carolina Retention & Graduation Report, 2013-2014. Revised
University of North Carolina General Administration
This report provides system-level graduation and retention rates for the University of North Carolina (UNC), with campus-level and corresponding peer benchmarks appended. Where possible, corresponding national rates are reported as well. In nearly all measures, UNC surpasses these national rates. Measuring rates of student retention and graduation are important indicators of success at institutions of higher education. Many of these metrics reflect definitions developed by the US Department of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). These commonly used four- and six-year graduation rates exclusively refer to the degree completion of first-time, full-time freshmen cohorts who begin college in the fall semester. Many students attending UNC institutions, such as transfer and part-time students, are not included in these IPEDS cohorts and their exclusion represents a significant number of students. This report presents retention and graduation data using a variety of metrics to offer a fuller picture of student success across the UNC system. [For the previous year's report, see ED586194.]
