II.A. Graduation and Success Rates
  • Definition: Cohorts align with IPEDS definitions and the GRS and GRS 200 surveys.

  • First-time, full-time, freshmen student graduation and transfers-out from a 2-year to any institution is tracked at each campus where they registered as their home campus.

  • First-Time Freshman students are first-time classified students
    • – 4-year campuses: BA seeking students and excludes DARCH and second BA seeking students
    • – CC campuses: Includes Certificate and Associate degree-seeking students
  • Full-time attendance status is defined as undergraduate students taking 12 or more semester hours.

  • Goals: Using fiscal year 2013 as a baseline:
    • 4-year graduation rate for 4-years through 2025:
      • UH Mānoa from 21.2% to 40%
      • UH Hilo from 11.7% to 25%
