These dashboards show retention and graduation rates. The data are displayed by entering year of the students. The retention pages start with students who entered the college 10 years ago and track the percentage of each entering cohort that is enrolled 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years later.
The graduation pages start with students entering in 2012 and have data through the most recent graduates. The most recent 4-year graduation rates are for students who started at St. Olaf in 2020 and graduated by 2024. The most recent 6-year rates are for students who entered in 2018 and graduated by 2024. These rates are based on completion of the degree by August 31 of the year that is 4 or 6 years past the entering year. For example, a student who entered in 2015 would need to complete the degree by August 31, 2019 to be counted as graduating in 4 years.
Note: Annual updates may introduce minor changes to prior years, as our data are updated or corrected each year.
