OTHER INITIATIVES * UNOFFICIAL TOTALS

What we understand: MSU’s retention of first-year students shows a pattern

of up and down fluctuations on a two-year cycle Freshmen students do have assigned advisers MSU retains URM freshmen students at the same rate

as the general population of freshmen students For the fall 2011 freshmen cohort, there was a

significant increase in attrition among residential students

Provisional students are retained at a consistent annual rate; typically about 50% each year

On-line classes do not negatively impact retention of freshmen; small number of participants

Extended campus instruction does not negatively impact freshmen retention; small number of participants

There was a 10% increase in the Y2Y attrition for the fall 2011 freshmen cohort having a HS GPA at 2.0 or higher

Fall to spring retention rates are significantly stronger than fall to fall retention rates for both 2010 and 2011 freshmen cohorts

For fall 2011 freshmen, there was a: 4% increase in non-returning students having an ACT

Comp. at 21 or higher; 3.9% increase in non-returning students with an ACT

Comp. at 19 or higher; 3.2% increase for students with an ACT Comp. between

21 and 26 There was a 4.3% (59) increase in non-returning

students for fall 2012 that received <$7,000 in financial aid in fall 2011
