* Persistence Rate data for 2010 is based on student enrollment in college at the beginning of September 2011 while the other years reflect student enrollment throughout the entire year. Because of this, you may find much lower 2010 rates in comparison to the other years.
 Data Disclaimer:

Results with fewer than 10 students are not shown. Results not shown may also indicate data is unavailable.

Students in college have the opportunity to block the release of their college status information thus resulting in underreporting of college enrollment and graduation rates. The percent of students doing so is relatively small, usually not greater than 3-4%. This percentage used to be lower at 1-2%, but in July 2011 NSC changed the way they handle FERPA blocks. NSC released the following statement describing the change:

"In order to enhance our protection of student privacy, we recently adopted a more conservative response to the FERPA blocking information that we receive from postsecondary institutions. Specifically, we now treat student FERPA blocks reported at any phase within their education records at a particular institution as applying to both enrollment and degree records at that institution.”
