Student Success Summary Dashboard

The Student Success Summary is an overview of student success metrics from ten Student Success Reports.  It shows the highest and lowest  values for each metric, along with the difference between those values for academic years 2021–22 through 2025–26.

  • Fall to winter retention was relatively consistent, while fall to fall retention improved overtime.
  • First-term college-level completion of 6+ credits varied over the past 5-years, while completion of 12+ credits changed little.
