Fall-to-Fall Retention of all First-Time-in-College Students
This bar chart displays fall-to-fall retention rates for first-time-in-college students at Chipola College across three reporting years. The data shows a positive upward trend: retention improved from 54% in Report Year 2022 to 59% in Report Year 2023, reaching 61% in Report Year 2024. This represents a 7-percentage point improvement over the three-year period, suggesting strengthening institutional efforts in student persistence.
