Undergraduate retention and graduation—why some undergraduates stay
enrolled in an institution to complete a degree while others transfer, stop out,
or drop out—is one of the most
well-studied areas of higher education research.
This site provides information about retention and
graduation at UC Santa Cruz, including:
- a primer on retention and graduation issues in Q&A
format;
- statistics about rates at UCSC and at comparable
institutions; and
- links to higher education research.
A 2006 campus forum framed the
issues that are the subject of this website. The Committee on Educational
Policy (CEP) issued its report in spring 2006.
