Retention, Capstone Completion and Graduation Rate
Retention, Capstone Completers and Graduation Rates are measured by creating a cohort of students who meet specified criteria, then determining the percentage of those students who subsequently enrolled in additional quarters (retention rates), successfully completed the capstone course for the program (capstone completion rates), or graduated (graduation rates).
For the purpose of this report, a cohort was created that includes students who enrolled in their first program course during the quarter indicated. The cohort does not include students who have been accepted into a program but are enrolled only in general education coursework. For most programs, the cohorts are for fall quarter. However, there are a few programs that do not have fall starts. For those programs, the entering cohorts are for winter or spring quarters. The cohort quarter is listed in the matrix.
Retention: is measured by determining if the students in the Entering Cohort are also enrolled in the quarter indicated.
For example, if a group (cohort) of students takes their first professional technical course in the fall, then retention for them would be measured as follows:
2nd Qtr Retention: students enrolled the next quarter (winter) 3rd Qtr Retention: students enrolled in the 3rd quarter (spring)
Note: If your program is shorter than the number of quarters indicated for retention on the graph on the next page, you should have a retention rate that reflects that. For instance, a program that is two quarters in length should have a high 2nd quarter retention rate, but a low or 0% 3rd quarter retention rate as the students should have completed their program prior to the 3rd quarter. Some students take longer to complete a program than expected. If the student is still enrolled in the program past the normal length, the retention rate can help to illuminate this.

Estimated Job Placement
The estimated job placement rate is a two year average based on data matching with employment security, across all fields. The data match includes students who are no longer enrolled at the college regardless of graduation status. This means that students may have graduated or may be early leavers (non-graduates).
These students were last enrolled at the college during 2008/09 or 2009/10.
