Credits Successfully Completed – Spring
Successfully completing attempted credits propels students toward achieving their educational goals. A higher credit completion rate increases the likelihood that students will efficiently progress through their academic pathways, saving both time and financial resources.
| Term Year | Spr2021 | Spr2022 | Spr2023 | Spr2024 | Spr2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Credit completion rate | 78.5% | 79.0% | 78.8% | 78.0% | 79.9% |
- Although spring credit completion rates typically vary by less than one percentage point from year to year, the rate in spring 2025 is higher than in each of the previous four spring terms.
Equity Gaps
An equity gap refers to any disparity in metrics such at graduation rates or term-to-term persistence across different student characteristics. These gaps prompt the college to ask “What processes, policies or practices are in place that create or contribute to these disparities? ” rather than “What is the student doing wrong?”
| Spr2025 Rates by | Range (low to high) | Equity Gap |
|---|---|---|
| Gender | 79.8 % to 80.1% (Female) | <1% point |
| Pell Status | 76.5% to 82.0% (Awarded Pell to No Pell) | 5.5% points |
| First Generation | 77.9% to 82.1% (First Generation to Not First Generation) | 4.2% points |
| Age | 77.7% to 81.8% (Age 20-24 to Age 30+) | 4.1% points |
| Race/Ethnicity | 70.1% to 84.1% (Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander to Asian) | 14% points |
| Disability | 77.% to 80.4% (Reported Disability to No Known Disability | 2.6% points |
Spring 2025 Findings
- Students who did not report their gender had the highest completion rates (81.6%); female and male students had similar credit completion rates.
- Students who were not awarded Pell grants successfully completed more credits than did Pell recipients.
- First generation students, defined as students whose parents have not completed a bachelor’s degree, tend to complete fewer attempted credits than students with at least one parent who completed a 4-year degree.
- Students age 30 and older had higher credit completion rates whiles those age 20-24 had lower rates.
- Students with a reported disability have slightly lower credits completion rates.
- Spring 2025 credit completion rates were higher for all racial/ethnic groups compared to the previous four years, except for White students whose success rates improved but remained 0.1 below 2023 levels.
