First-Year Retention Rates: Fall 1999 - Fall 2000

Retention rates represent the percentages of respective pools of Fall semester first-time, full-time entering students who are re-enrolled in the following Fall semester. The student pools for which one-year retention rates are calculated are first-time freshmen. The institution-specific rates are based on students who are retained in Fall 2000 at the institution at which they matriculated in Fall 1999. The System rates include those students who transferred from the Fall 1999 institution to another System institution and were enrolled there in Fall 2000.
