TMCC FactBook 2018

Truckee Meadows Community College FactBook 2018 21st Edition Page OM-1 Institutional Research Office Red Mountain Building, Dandini Campus Outcome measures for TMCC, such as Retention, Persistence, Graduation Rate, Capture Rate, and more, can be found in this section of FactBook 2018 . DEFINITIONS: # Retained: The number of students who remain in a class until the end of the semester and receive A, B, C, D, Pass (P), Satisfactory (S), In Progress (X), or Audit (AD) grade notations. Transfer (TMCC Transfers to UNR & UNLV): Students who have previous college experience and have earned more than 24 transferable college credits with 2.5 GPA in all coursework. Co-Enrollment: Student enrollment at more than one institution during the same semester. Subsequent Enrollment: Students who attend another post-secondary institution after attending TMCC. Retention Rate: The number of students retained in a course or program divided by the total number of students enrolled (a.k.a. % Retained). 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 (ps_status = New). Graduation Rate: Based on a cohort of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students graduating within 150% of normal time. This is the rate reported to IPEDS.
