Students’ Planned Length of Attendance, those intending to stay long enough to complete a degree only, includes both state and contract students.

Note:  These data are for students who initially enrolled during Fall Quarters of 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001.  “Progress” in this context is gauged by college attendance during a two-year period after the student’s initial enrollment.  “Substantial progress” indicates that a student attended four or more quarters during the two-year period; “some progress” indicates that a student attended two or three quarters.

 Students’ Planned Length of Attendance, those intending to stay long enough to complete a degree only, includes both state and contract students.

Note:  These data are for students who initially enrolled during Fall Quarters of 1997, 19985, 1999, 2000, and 2001.  “Early leaver” indicates a student who attended for just one quarter during the two years following that initial enrollment date.
