GOAL

Six-Year Graduation Rates

Suspension of MC requirement

• No evidence that the MC suspension is the primary reason for our graduation rate increase of 21 percentage points over six years.

• 2011 cohort had 18 MC suspensions. • Contributed 0.8% to our 47% graduation rate in 2017.

• 2010 cohort had 10 suspensions. • Contributed 0.4% to our 39% graduation rate in 2016.

• We are not graduating large numbers of students who lack college level math skills.

Six Year Graduation Rates for Pell-Eligible Students

• Nationally:• Pell Students: 51%• Non-Pell: 65%

• Many universities have closed the gap.Nichols, Andrew Howard. "The Pell Partnership: Ensuring a Shared Responsibility for Low-Income Student Success." Education Trust (2015).
