Ä¢¹½´«Ã½

The success of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ students is the heart of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½'s mission of connecting learning, life and community. Student success is the passion of the faculty and staff who choose to work at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½. One way (but not the only way) Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ looks at that success is through the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Student Achievement Measures. Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ developed these measures in 2022 to comply with NWCCU's requirements (Ä¢¹½´«Ã½’s accreditor), but uses them to support mission fulfillment, evaluate institutional effectiveness and to work for all Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ students and graduates to achieve their goals.

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Student Achievement Measures (Disaggregated Data and Peer Comparisons)

See Student-Right-to-Know for the specific calculations required by the Student-Right-to-Know Act/Higher Education Act.

RETENTION RATES (MOST RECENT 5 YEARS)

This retention rate is the proportion of students who return to enroll in a second fall semester out of all those who entered Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ as first years (freshmen) in the previous fall. For example, if 100 students enter and 100 students return the next year, the retention rate is 100%.

GRADUATION RATES (MOST RECENT 5 YEARS)

This graduation rate is the proportion of students who completed their bachelor's degrees within the specified time out of all those who entered Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ as first-year students (freshman) in the year specified. For example, if 100 students enter and 80 students graduate within 4 years, 90 students graduate within 5 years, and 100 students graduate within 6 years, the graduation rates are 80%, 90%, and 100%, respectively. The time frame specified does not necessarily reflect continuous enrollment. For example, a student who entered in the fall of 2019 and graduated in 2024 (5 years) may have taken a semester or a year away from school during that time.​
