Academics
Only 12% finish within six years, so roughly nine in ten students leave without the credential. Retention is weak: only 52% of full-time first-years return, so roughly one in two leave after one year. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. The 12:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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 306 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $8,331 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Income makes less difference than usual: $8,419 at $0–30k, $8,512 at $75–110k. Grant aid reaches 60% of students at an average of $3,113.
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 | $8,419 |
| $30–48k | $7,832 |
| $48–75k | $8,283 |
