Fall-to-fall retention and persistence are important early indicators for students working toward degrees and certificates. Data examined by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center indicated that the overall rate for students who began at a community college in fall 2016 and persisted the next fall (enrolled in the same college or transferred to another college) was 62.2 percent. Overall, Asian students followed by Hispanic students had the highest persistence rate. Asians who persisted were also most likely to stay at the college where they started, followed by Hispanics. White students had higher retention than blacks, and they were most likely to have transferred by the second fall. Community colleges should use campus-level data such as these to drive and monitor student success initiatives.
