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 2023 → 2024	26% · R	23	0% · R	1
Fall 2022 → 2023	15% · R	40	0% · R	2
Fall 2021 → 2022	20% · R	56	25% · R	8

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.
