UH Strategic Directions Measures

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
Transfers-out from a 2-year to any institution are students who transfer to internal (UH) and external (other than UH) institutions.
Full-time attendance status is defined as undergraduate students taking 12 or more semester hours.
Success Rates for UHCCs = Graduation Rate + Transfer Out to any institution rate.

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%
  • UH West Oʻahu from 9.8% to 20%
