Retention and Graduation Update

Annual UCSC Retention and Graduation Updates provide a summary of retention and graduation rates and time to degree for two student cohorts, new freshmen and junior transfer students. Data is available for each of these cohorts by gender, ethnic groups, admission status, residential college, and SAT scores. The reports also include comparisons with other UC campuses and national retention and graduation rates.

Retention rates describe the percentage of an entering fall student cohort (e.g., frosh, junior transfers) that enrolls for successive fall quarters. Graduation rates describe the cumulative proportion of that entering group who graduate within four, five, and six years.
