DEFINITIONS AND NOTES:
Demographic Data:
Student success data are the sum
of Fall semesters when offered.
Enrollments/Dup. Headcount:
Sum of end-of-term enrollments.
Retention %:
The percentage of enrollments
with a grade of A, B, C, D, F, CR,
NC, I, at end-of-term. (Only
excludes W’s.)
Success %:
The percentage of enrollments
with a grade of A, B, C, CR at
end-of-term.
NOTE:
In some cases there may be
discrepancies between the totals
for "Enrollments/Duplicated
Headcount" and the "Successful
Course Completion Rates." This
discrepancy is not an error. The
course-completion rates may
reflect the fact that some
students dropped before
receiving a "W," and, therefore,
are not included in the enrollment
count.
