Retention rates represent the percentages of respective pools of Fall quarter first-time, full-time entering students who are re-enrolled or transferred within the University System in the following Fall quarter. The student pools for which one-year retention rates are calculated are regularly admitted freshmen, black (B) and all other (AO), and Developmental Studies students, black and all other. The institution-specific rates are based on students who are retained in Fall 1996 at the institution at which they matriculated in Fall 1995. The System rates include those students who transferred from the Fall 1995 institution to another System institution.
