Clovis Community College
Public Community College in Fresno, CA. Six-year graduation rate 45%.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Completion is middling: 45% finish inside six years. First-year retention is 73% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. The part-time picture is harder: 40% return, against 73% full-time. At 30:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 6,759 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $8,482 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $3,529 at $0–30k against $10,904 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 73% get grants averaging $3,512, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
