What we understand: • MSU’s retention of first-year students shows a pattern of up and down fluctuations on a two-year cycle • Freshmen students do have assigned advisers • MSU retains URM freshmen students at the same rate as the general population of freshmen students • For the fall 2011 freshmen cohort, there was a significant increase in attrition among residential students • Provisional students are retained at a consistent annual rate; typically about 50% each year • On-line classes do not negatively impact retention of freshmen; small number of participants • Extended campus instruction does not negatively impact freshmen retention; small number of participants
What we understand: • There was a 10% increase in the Y2Y attrition for the fall 2011 freshmen cohort having a HS GPA at 2.0 or higher • Fall to spring retention rates are significantly stronger than fall to fall retention rates for both 2010 and 2011 freshmen cohorts • For fall 2011 freshmen, there was a: • 4% increase in non-returning students having an ACT Comp. at 21 or higher; • 3.9% increase in non-returning students with an ACT Comp. at 19 or higher; • 3.2% increase for students with an ACT Comp. between 21 and 26 • There was a 4.3% (59) increase in non-returning students for fall 2012 that received <$7,000 in financial aid in fall 2011
