Academics
Only 17% finish within six years, so roughly four in five students leave without the credential. Just 30% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. At 18:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a public community college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 425 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $1,763 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($-144 versus $3,239), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 90% of students get grant aid averaging $3,783, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $-144 |
| $30–48k | $54 |
| $48–75k | $4,779 |
