College Participation and Completion of Utah High School Graduates Executive Summary
Relying on the data from Utah System of Higher Education (USHE), Utah State Board of Education (USBE), and National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), this report examines college participation rates of Utah high school graduates (cohorts 2008–2017), with a focus on the gap in college participation between Caucasians and minorities. The report also includes a brief examination of college completion rates of Utah high school graduates (cohorts 2008–2017) enrolled in college.
Key findings:
1. On average, 49 percent of Utah high school graduates (cohorts 2008–2017) attended a postsecondary institution in the first year after high school graduation. The college participation rate increases to 64 percent by the end of the third year, 69 percent by the end of the fifth year, and 71 percent by the 10th year after high school graduation.

2. In October 2012, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced that, effectively immediately, men may begin serving missions at age 18 instead of 19 and women at age 19 instead of 21. This change in age requirement for missionaries has led to a 7% decrease in college participation within the first year and the first two years after high school graduation. However, the impact of the change in missionary age requirement disappears three years after high school graduation (see Table B1 for more details).

4. On average, 60 percent of Utah female high school graduates attended a postsecondary institution in the first year after high school graduation, while 39 percent of male graduates did so. However, the gap in college participation rates between males and females gradually narrowed over time.

5. Comparisons between ethnic groups showed a gap in college participation based on ethnicity. On average, Asian American and Caucasian students had much higher college participation rates, while Hispanic graduates consistently had lower college participation rates.

6. The family income level, measured by a student’s eligibility for free or reduced price lunch, was an important correlate to college participation rate. Specifically, the college participation rate for students from a low-income family was much lower than for students who were not considered low-income.

7. Limited English proficiency at high school graduation was another factor that adversely affected college participation. In other words, Utah high school graduates without limited English proficiency enrolled in college at a much higher rate than those with limited English skills.

9. Among Utah high school graduates (cohorts 2008–2010) enrolled in college, 52 percent earned a postsecondary degree or certificate within eight years after their initial entry into a postsecondary institution. Specifically, 58 percent of female students graduated from their institutions within eight years, while the comparative rate for male students was 47 percent. Additionally, students not from a low- income family (55 percent) or not graduating from high school with limited English proficiency (53 percent) were more likely to graduate from college within eight years than those from a low-income family (38 percent) or graduating from high school with limited English proficiency (26 percent), respectively.
