Academics
Six-year completion sits at 44%, meaning about three in five students who enroll leave without finishing. Retention of 63% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. A 17% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. The part-time picture is harder: 43% return, against 63% full-time.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,928 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $8,199 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($5,688 versus $9,752), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 64% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,249 — common but not automatic. 9% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $5,688 |
| $30–48k | $3,274 |
| $48–75k | $8,308 |
