4 Retention rates drop from year to year. Many get discouraged and drop out Students in 2-year colleges who return to campus Start Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Start Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 100% 100% 63.5% 44.7% Students in 4-year colleges who return to campus 100% 80.3% 100% 60.5% after falling off track early. Students who earn expected first-year credits (24 credits) Associate Bachelor s (12 credits) Associate Bachelor s Staying enrolled is particularly tough for part-time students, who must often balance jobs and school.

5 Precious time and money are lost when students don t graduate on schedule. Students are taking too much time Certificate Associate Bachelor s Should take 1 year for full-time students Should take 2 years for full-time students Should take 4 years for full-time students and too many credits. Certificate Associate Bachelor s Should take 30 credits Should take 60 credits Should take 120 credits More students must graduate on time.

6 More time isn t giving us enough success. For certificate and associate degree students, graduation rates are very low even when more time. Certificate Associate 21.4% In 1 year In 1.5 years In 2 years In 2 years In 3 years In 4 years On-time graduation rates for bachelor s degree students are shockingly low. And adding time beyond six years produces little additional success. Bachelor s 59.2% In 4 years In 6 years In 8 years Data: NCHEMS Information Center Even modest progress provides little comfort when overall graduation rates are so low. = Data not readily available as part of the IPEDS Survey.
