‡ Reporting standards are not met.
NOTE: Remedial courses taken during HS were not included, only those after high school graduation.
NOTE: PETS transcript for first after HS attendance was required for this analysis sample of after graduation fall college attendance. Those that had a transfer transcript indicating a posiitive event of remedial course taking were an exception to this rule. Only students with complete high school and postsecondary transcripts were included in these analyses.
NOTE: Since figures were computed based on high school type, only those students that attended the same school type in last year and in freshman year were included.
NOTE: W5PSTRANS weight was used.
