Figure 16. Retention rates of first-time bachelor's degree-seeking students, by attendance status: Fall 2021 cohort

Figure 17. Graduation and transfer-out rates of all full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students within 150% of normal time to program completion: 2016 cohort

NOTE: Retention rates are measured from the fall of first enrollment to the following fall. Academic reporting institutions report retention data for the Fall 2021 cohort of students who are still enrolled as of the institution's official fall reporting date or as of October 15, 2022. Program reporters determine the cohort with enrollment any time between August 1 - October 31, 2021 and retention based on August 1, 2022. Four-year institutions report retention rates for students seeking a bachelor's degree. For more details, see the Methodological Notes. N is the number of institutions in the comparison group.
