Yearly Progress and Completion

Yearly Progress and Completion

The Yearly Progress and Completion report contains many elements previously published in the NSC Research Center’s two primary reports focused on student progress toward credential attainment, Yearly Success and Progress and Completing College. This report combines the year-over-year look at a cohort’s journey toward completion (Yearly Success and Progress) with the in-depth analysis of six-year and eight-year cohort completion rates (Completing College) into an interactive dashboard.

Transfer and Progress

Transfer and Progress

Transfer enrollment represents 13.2 percent of all continuing and returning undergraduates in fall 2023. The number of students who transferred into a new institution in fall 2023 grew 5.3 percent in fall 2023 compared to fall 2022 (+62,600), driven by students transferring from a two-year institution to a four-year institution (upward transfer, +7.7%).
