Oregon Coast
Community College
Public Community College in Newport, OR. Six-year graduation rate 36%.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Only 36% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. Retention is weak: only 58% of full-time first-years return, so roughly two in five leave after one year. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. 19% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. Retention drops to 38% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 321 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $6,784 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($7,489 versus $13,086), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 65% get grants averaging $7,143, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 27% of students.
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 | $7,489 |
| $30–48k | $9,020 |
