From Fall 2006, a cohort of all certificate, degree and transfer-seeking first-time, full-time students were tracked over a three-year period. The completion and transfer rates are listed below. These rated do not represent the success rates of the entire student population, nor do they account for student outcomes occurring after this three-year tracking period. Based upon the cohort defined above, 42% attained a certificate or degree or became “transfer-prepared” during a three-year period, from Fall 2006 to Spring 2009. Students who were “transfer-prepared” have completed 56 transferable units with a GPA of 2.0 or better. Based on the cohort defined above, 31.6% transferred to another postsecondary institution prior to attaining a degree or certificate, or becoming “transfer-prepared” during a five semester period, from Spring 2003 to Spring 2005. 2 Spring 2011 STEPS TO ENROLLING SPRING 2011 Welcome to Woodland Community College!
