Term to Term Persistence
Period Covered: Fall 2023 to Fall 2024
For first-time students with a goal of degree or transfer, the persistence rate from fall 2023 to winter 2024 is 82% overall, dropping to 77% of the original cohort from winter 2024 to spring 2024, and to 69% of the original cohort from spring 2024 to fall 2024.
The rates follow a similar trend for Black, Latinx, low-income and first-generation students, but persistence rates for each group are lower in comparison to the overall rates for all students.
