This report contains trend data on the retention, graduation, and transfer rates of first-time, full-time students at Maryland community colleges from 1997 to 2007. Specifically, the report presents retention and graduation data for students two, three and four years after matriculation into a community college. The data is presented for the state, by each community college and further disaggregated by race and gender. The first part of the report includes an analysis of community college students' four-year "success rate," which is the percentage of first-time, full-time community college students who either graduate and/or transfer to a Maryland four-year institution within four years. The second section of the report provides an analysis of interim measures of "progress to degree," which examines graduation, transfer and "successful persister" rates after four years based on students' remedial needs and academic readiness at the time of entry to the community college. This analysis separates students into three groups based on their level of academic preparedness upon entry to the community college: (1) "college-ready"; (2) "developmental completers"; and (3) "developmental non-completers." Maryland's community colleges began measuring "successful persister" rates beginning with the 2000 cohort of students from 14 of the 16 institutions. Data for all 16 community colleges is now available starting with the 2001 cohort of students. The final section of this report includes an analysis of students who enrolled for one term at a community college, but who do not return for the next. The data for this analysis comes from a bi-annual survey conducted since 2000 by the community colleges. The survey focuses on respondents' educational goals, thus providing valuable information about students who never intended to earn a degree or certificate or to transfer to a four-year college.
