Historical undergraduate admissions
Fall 2020 · first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate applicants.
Reported enrolled first-time undergraduates: 21.
Compare reported admission years
These first-time undergraduate populations are separate reporting periods. Admission rate is admitted ÷ applicants; enrollment yield is enrolled ÷ admitted. Neither percentage is an individual admission probability.
| Fall year | Applicants | Admitted | Enrolled | Admission rate | Enrollment yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 118 | 38 | 21 | 32.2% | 55.3% |
| 2019 | 165 | 67 | 42 | 40.6% | 62.7% |
| 2018 | 130 | 60 | 29 | 46.2% | 48.3% |
Calculated as admitted ÷ applicants. This institution-wide historical figure is not a personal admission probability, international-student rate, transfer rate or program-specific rate. Open-admission institutions may not report this survey.

Published first-year retention
Connected EF part-D observations concern prior-fall first-time degree/certificate-seeking cohorts assessed a year later. NCES describes persistence or completion; four-year institutions' cohorts are bachelor-seeking. Entry study status remains the grouping even if a student later changes between full- and part-time.
| Entry cohort → assessment | Full-time source rate | Adjusted full-time cohort | Part-time source rate | Adjusted part-time cohort |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fall 2019 → 2020 | 100% · R | 14 | Not reported · A | 0 |
| Fall 2018 → 2019 | 95% · R | 20 | Not reported · A | 0 |
| Fall 2017 → 2018 | 91% · R | 35 | Not reported · A | Not reported |
Percentages are retained from the source rather than recalculated. R means reported; P means carried forward. Other source flags remain in the evidence. Missing rates remain unavailable and a published 0% remains zero. These are institution-level historical observations, not programme graduation rates, current service-quality rankings or individual predictions.
