Utah High School Students Transition to College. Issue Brief
Mayne, Carrie
Utah System of Higher Education
During the 2018-19 academic year, over 178,000 students walked the eight Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) campuses. Of those students, approximately 9.3% came directly from Utah's high school graduating class of 2018. The transition from high school to postsecondary learning is a major step in an individual's life. Leaders on both ends of that academic bridge seek to understand how well students in our state navigate the transition. To that end, the Utah System of Higher Education has collaborated with the Utah State Board of Education for the last five years to share data describing the number of students making that transition and the degree to which they succeed in college. Each year, the data has been summarized in USHE's High School Feedback reports, a compilation of student data used to inform secondary teachers and policymakers of the trends in higher education enrollment for their newly graduated students. This report is an initial exploration of how this student data can be used to inform the college access conversation for the state's education policymakers.
