Credit Accumulation Thresholds
Percentage of credential-seeking students completing credit thresholds by the end of year 1: 15 credits for part-time students; 30 credits for full-time students. Credits completed in the following types of courses are included: College-level courses, graduate level courses attempted by undergraduates, and developmental education courses if the institution counts them toward a credential. Credit accumulations include "D" grades where they are considered as a course completion by the institution. AP/IB, dual enrollment, or transferred-in credits are not included. Based on a student year, not an academic year (i.e., the first 12 months a student is enrolled, regardless of timing of first enrollment). Source: Frontier Set student-level database.
Credit Completion Ratio
Percentage of attempted credits that credential-seeking students completed during their first year. Credits attempted include all college-level courses, graduate level courses attempted by undergraduates, and developmental education courses if the institution counts them toward a credential. Credits completed includes all those completed that were attempted, including "D" grades where they are considered as a course completion by the institution. Credits for courses attempted multiple times are counted each time they are attempted and successfully completed, as reported by the institution. The ratio is based on the average of students' credit completion ratios, rather than the ratio of the total number of credits completed for the year within the institution divided by the total number of credits attempted for the year within the institution. Based on a student year, not an academic year (i.e., the first 12 months a student is enrolled, regardless of first enrollment). Source: Frontier Set student-level database.
Gateway Course Completion Rate
Percentage of credential-seeking students completing required gateway math and English courses within the first year of enrollment. Computed only for students required to take either or both gateway math and/or English; students not required to take either gateway math or English are not included. Students required to take only one of gateway math or English are included, and gateway completion is achieved when the one required subject area is completed. "D" and "P" grades are counted as passing where they are considered as a course completion by the institution. Based on a student year, not an academic year (i.e., the first 12 months a student is enrolled, regardless of first enrollment). Source: Frontier Set student-level database.
Retention Rate
Percentage of credential-seeking students retained to second year. Retained students fall into one of the two following groups:
1. Enrolled at the initial institution at any time during their second year.
2. Completed a certificate or associate's degree at the initial institution by the end of their first year. Note: Some students complete the coursework required for a credential during their first year, do not enroll in courses during the second year, but the degree is conferred during the second year; these students are counted as completing during the first year, and are included as retained for this metric.
Based on a student year, not an academic year (i.e., the first 12 months a student is enrolled, regardless of first enrollment). Source: Frontier Set student-level database.
Graduation Rate
For the cohort of first-time, full-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates enrolled 3 years prior to the reporting year, the percent of students completing a degree/certificate within 150% of normal time. Normal time is two years for an associate's degree, and the various scheduled times for certificate programs. The graduation status is reported as of August 31 of the reported academic year. Source: U.S. Department of Education, Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, Graduation Rate Survey (GRS).
Number of Completions
Number associate's degrees and certificates awarded during the academic year. Note: This is not cohort based, but based on the actual number of completions awarded by the institution(s) in the given academic year. Source: U.S. Department of Education, Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, Completions Survey.
Success Rate
Percentage of credential-seeking students completing certificates, associate's degrees or bachelor's degrees, or transferring to a 4-year institution, within three years of first enrollment at the FS institution. To be considered a transfer, enrollment at the 4-year institution can occur during any term after student's first term of enrollment at the FS institution. The first credential or 4-year transfer is considered. Source: Frontier Set student-level data.
