Credits Successfully Completed – Fall
Successful completion of attempted credits propels students toward the achievement of 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.
Fall 2025 success rates showed a modest increase from the prior year, reaching the highest level of the past five fall terms. This marked a steady improvement since the 75.9% low in Fall 2022.
Equity Gaps
Equity gap refers to any disparity along racial, socioeconomic, gender or other demographic grouping. These gaps lead the college to ask “what processes, policies or practices are in place that create or exacerbate these disparities? ”
| Fall 2025 | Rate Range (low to high) | Equity Gap | *Compared to F2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gender | 77.8% to 78.8% (Male to Female) | 1% point | no change |
| Pell Status | 74.5% to 80.4% (Awarded Pell to No Pell) | 4.9% points | Widened slightly |
| Race/Ethnicity | 69.8%, 69.8% to 81.4% (Black/African American and American Indian/Alaska Native to Asian) | 11.6% points | Narrowed |
| Age | 76.5% to 81.7% (20-24 to 25-29) | 5.2% points | Widened |
| First-Generation | 76.5% to 84.4% (1st Gen to Not 1st Gen) | 7.9% points | Widened slightly |
| Disability | 75.0% to 78.7% (Disability to No Reported Disability) | 3.7% points | Widened |
| Veteran | 77.8% to 78.% (Veteran to Not a Veteran) | 1% point | Narrowed |
| * Interpretation of Comparison: Narrowed = Improved, Widened = Worsened, Slightly indicates difference of < 1 percentage point | |||

Equity gap = highest credit completion rate – lowest credit completion rate
First-generation = neither parent nor guardian completed a 4-year degree
