Graduation & freshman retention rates by gender and ethnicity-citizenship group
1999 through summer 2009

Full-time freshmen entering summer/fall only
(full time = 12+ hrs, counted at end of the fall term)

Graduation & freshmen retention rates for freshmen entering in the summer/fall of 1999 through 2009 are shown below.

Note: Counts for the current year are preliminary; freshmen are dropped from the official retention population for a given entry year if they are part-time at the end of their first term. Consequently, the number in the entry population for the current year may be revised at the end of the fall term.
