Part-time Students 2 Returning Returning Persistence Rates Fall 2012 - Fall 2016 Cohorts Degree Seeking Students Returning Returning 1st-time College Student Cohorts* Returning Returning After ONE Semester Persistence: The tracking of students from one semester to the next. This measure is derived by isolating a cohort of students and then calculating the percent of the original group that returns with each advancing semester. Based on this definition, students who leave for one or more semester(s) and then return to the college still contribute to the persistence rates for each semester they attend. Persistence is best measured by tracking first-time college student cohorts. After TWO Semesters Full-time Students 1 Returning Returning All Students
