Yearly Success and Progress Rates. Fifth in the Series
Causey, J.; 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. This report is designed to help institutions and states better identify and inform effective intervention points to increase student success. It examines yearly academic progress for approximately 2.3 million individuals who began college for the first time in fall 2013 with the intent to earn a credential. 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 addition to providing a national-level outcomes summary, a 50-state data dashboard is available through a hyperlink to an Excel file. Results show the national six-year college completion rate continues to grow. But there is a disadvantage in students who first enroll on a part-time basis, with elevated stop-out rates from the very first year. More than half of them (51%) stopped out by the end of year six, nearly two times larger than full-time starters (26%). The stop-out rate has gone up for part-time starters over the past years, while data shows it is down for full-time counterparts. [For the previous report (2019) in this series, see ED595321.]
