The percentages reported in this table are based on the enrollment and completion records maintained by the National Student Clearinghouse. An analysis of these records resulted in a national cohort of over 2.3 million college students who were classified as degree-seeking, first-time freshmen in fall 2014. The enrollment and completion records of these students were then analyzed through the six-year period ending June 30, 2020. Each student was classified by the state of the institution where the student first entered college, not by the student’s residential home state. The percentage of Nebraska institutions with Clearinghouse records varied by type of institution. The historical data coverage rate for Nebraska’s four-year public institutions was 100.0%, Nebraska's four-year private nonprofit institutions was 98.1%, and Nebraska’s two-year public colleges was 99.6%. First-time enrollment status was established by confirming that a student (1) did not show any postsecondary enrollment record prior to fall 2014 (not counting dual enrollments while still in high school), and (2) did not receive a degree or certificate from any postsecondary institution prior to fall 2014, according to Clearinghouse data. Since Clearinghouse enrollment data does not include a flag for dual enrollment, students were classified as dual enrollment if their enrollment/degree records prior to fall 2014 were before the student turned 18 years old.
