Profile of Non-Returning Undergraduate Students Using National Student Clearinghouse Data

Fall 2004 to Fall 2005

This report contains descriptive information about undergraduate students who were enrolled at Baylor University during Fall 2004 but did not return in Fall 2005. Included in this report is information about the following topics: Gender Racial/Ethnic Group Minority Status Citizenship Status

State of Permanent Address Religious Affiliation

Entrance Test Scores High School Quartile Academic Unit

There were 11,469 undergraduate students enrolled in Fall 2004. Of these students, 7,821 (68.2%) enrolled in Fall 2005 and 1,168 (10.2%) did not return. The remaining 2,480 (21.6%) graduated from the university. In order to seek additional information on the students who did not return, the Office of Institutional Research & Testing (IRT) submitted a file of these students to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). The NSC is a national repository of student records used for student degree and enrollment verification. The “Student Tracker” service from the NSC enables institutions to tap the nation’s largest enrollment database and track where students ultimately enroll. IRT submitted the file of the 1,168 non-returning undergraduate students. The NSC had enrollment information on 642 (55.0%) of these students. NSC provided information for each of these students including institution of matriculation, matriculation dates, institution type, and institution location. One item to note is that the University of Texas – Austin does not participate in the NSC database. Therefore, UT will not be listed as a transferring institution in this report. The largest group of the non-returning students tracked using the NSC enrolled in two-year institutions. Table 1 breaks down enrollment by type of institution.

Appendix I contains detailed information for the Fall 2004 undergraduate students who returned to Baylor in Fall 2005 compared to those who did not return. The entire population of non-returning students (1,168) is examined as well as those students who were tracked by NSC according to institution type as defined in Table 1. Appendix II contains detailed information for students who enrolled at one of the top four transferring institutions as tracked by NSC.

Notes:1. Although submission of entrance test scores generally is required in the admission process, in each entering class there were a small number of studentswho were admitted without entrance test scores. Therefore, the sum of SAT N plus ACT N does not necessarily equal the total class size (N).

2. In this table, the highest SAT score is compared to the highest ACT score, and only the better score is retained.

Notes:1. Although submission of entrance test scores generally is required in the admission process, in each entering class there were a small number of studentswho were admitted without entrance test scores. Therefore, the sum of SAT N plus ACT N does not necessarily equal the total class size (N).

2. In this table, the highest SAT score is compared to the highest ACT score, and only the better score is retained.
