Student Retention Rate
The full-time retention rate is the percent of the fall full-time bachelor's-seeking cohort from the prior year that re-enrolled at the institution as either full-or part-time in the current year.
This data comes from the IPEDS data files, ef[academic year]D (ex. ef2022D), that contains data on the total entering class, first-year retention rates and the student-to-faculty ratio.
