One-Year Retention: Fall 2012 – Fall 2013
Executive Summary
The tables in this document report on Fall 2013 one-year retention rates for Stephen F. Austin State University. Most
tables provide retention rates for full-time first-time (FT-FT) undergraduates; however, a small number of tables include
data for other classifications. All data reflect student status on the census date for the fall semesters. Additionally, Fall
2012 first-time undergraduate cohorts include first-time college students who began at SFA in Summer 2012 and enrolled
again in Fall 2012.
FULL-TIME FIRST-TIME (FT-FT) UNDERGRADUATE RETENTION
Select observations concerning the retention of FT-FT undergraduates include the following:










The overall one-year retention rate for FT-FT undergraduates from Fall 2012 to Fall 2013 was 67.3%, which
reflects an increase of 3.9 percentage points compared to the previous year’s rate (63.4%).
Students who returned had higher average SAT and ACT scores and average 1-year GPA’s than students who
did not return. (Table 2)
Although the College of Fine Arts (FA) has the second smallest population of FT-FT undergraduates (7% of total),
the college boasts success in several areas for FT-FT undergraduates. (Tables 1, 3, 4, 6, and 8)
o Overall retention for FA was the highest of any college at 80.5%. (Table 1, 3)
o FA displayed the lowest net loss in number of FT-FT undergraduate majors at (-33). The College of
Forestry and Agriculture trailed only slightly at (-38) majors. (Table 4)
o Of Fall 2012 returned FA majors, 89.4% of students returned Fall 2013 as FA majors. Only the College of
Education retained more majors in Fall 2013 at 90.3%. (Table 6)
o The FA GPA after one year for returned full-time first-time undergraduates was highest among the
colleges at 3.09. (Table 8)
Retention rates for FT-FT undergraduates with a decided major were 8.9 points higher than rates for undecided
students. (Table 5)
Students who rank in the top 25% of high school graduating classes appear to have higher return rates than
peers ranked at lower levels. (Table 12)
FT-FT undergraduates who received the Academic Excellence Scholarship had retention rates of 80.4% - higher
than students without the scholarship. (Table 14)
Students who apply during the fall term of the high school senior year appear to be more likely to return after one
year than students who apply later. (Table 16)
Retention rates for students who participated in SFA 101 (freshman success course) were 4.2 points higher than
rates for students who did not participate. (Table 17)
Retention rates for first-generation students were 11.1 points lower than rates for students who were not firstgeneration. (Table 25)
Over half of fall 2012 FT-FT undergraduates were admitted in the “Top 10%” or “Level 1” (admitted
unconditionally and automatically) admission categories. The retention rates for these two top categories was
reported at a slightly higher rate than the overall FT-FT undergraduate retention rate. (Table 26)

FULL-TIME SOPHOMORE RETENTION
For full-time SFA sophomores, the following facts were observed:


The overall one-year retention rate for full-time sophomores from Fall 2012 to Fall 2013 was 81.8%, which reflects
a decrease of 0.6 percentage points compared to the previous year’s full-time sophomore rate (82.4%). (Table 9)
The College of Fine Arts (FA) boasted the highest retention rate (89.8%) among colleges for full-time
sophomores. The College of Education and the College of Forestry and Agriculture also reported high sophomore
retention rates at 86.0% and 85.2% respectively. (Table 9).
POINTS TO NOTE
The Table of Contents outlines specific information available in the tables. Significant points to note about the data in this
document include the following:



The first-time undergraduate cohort used in this report includes students who are considered “first-time in college”
during the semester evaluated. Students in the cohort may have earned college credit through advanced
placement or high school dual credit, but this is the first time after high school that they have attended college.
In some instances, (for example, Tables 6,11, and 26) cohort breakdowns produce very small populations;
therefore, care should be taken in interpreting results for those cohorts.
New, federally-mandated race and ethnicity reporting began in fall 2010.
Table 2 provides averages for academic success indicators. Table 10 also provides academic success indicator
information in the form of frequency distributions, and Table 12 provides retention rates by high school class rank
quartiles and high school class rank group ranges.
In Table 9, full-time sophomore population includes transfer students and native students.
Table 18 provides retention rates by state origin. Small cohort sizes prevent meaningful analysis.
Table 21 cross-references high school class size with Texas region of origin. This table provides context for the
success rates of students from high population areas.
Table 23 provides detailed retention rates for students from individual Texas counties. Data is informational, and
small populations prevent in-depth analysis.
Table 33 indicates retention rates for students in SFA housing facilities. Since graduation of upper level students
is not indicated, care should be taken in interpreting results.
Table 34 provides retention rates for FT-FT undergraduate residential versus commuter students. Since campus
residency is required for most lower level students, the population of commuter students is very small.
Table 35 provides retention rates for all “Lower Level” students which includes students classified as freshmen or
sophomores in Fall 2011. Table 35 data represents full- and part-time students.
