Note: Unless otherwise noted, data are limited to first-time degree-seeking students who initially enrolled full-time in Indiana public institutions. On-time completion rates represent the fall 2016 cohort for four-year institutions and the fall 2018 cohort for two-year institutions. Six-year completion rates represent fall 2014 cohort students for all institutions. Persistence rates include students who continued enrollment into the fall semester of their second year at their original institution or at any Indiana public college. “ *** ” indicates that data were suppressed or otherwise unavailable.

*Cohort profile data include first-time, full-time students enrolling in the last three years subject to on-time completion. For four-year institutions, this represents fall 2014 - fall 2016 starters. For two-year institutions, this represents fall 2016 - fall 2018 starters. Data represent characteristics (age, etc.) reported for the student in the initial term of enrollment. 2014 cohort rates for Purdue West Lafayette may be slightly skewed due to inconsistencies. This may affect 2014 cohort on-time rates for Purdue West Lafayette and for multi-campus averages.
