Retention Rate
Freshman Retained to Second Year: 1994 through 2013
Fall to Fall; All First-Time, Full-Time Freshmen
Regarding Retention Rates
Retention rates are calculated for all first-time, full-time freshmen students enrolled in the fall term ("cohort year") who return the following fall term. Savannah State University retention numbers are available beginning with the Fall 2013 cohort.
The University System of Georgia tracks both freshmen matriculating in and retained by their freshman institution ("SSU retained") and those matriculating in an institution and transferring to somewhere within the University System of Georgia ("USG retained"). The difference between institution retained and system retained is greater for smaller institutions offering fewer majors as successful students may transfer from their original institution seeking curriculum offered elsewhere.
