Retention Rate
Retention rate is the percent of Hawkeye Community College’s first-time, full-time undergraduate degree seeking students who continue at Hawkeye the next year. The information reported is based on IPEDs report on a Fall 2022 cohort.
Hawkeye Community College’s current first-time, full-time retention rate is 58%.
Transfer-Out Rate
Hawkeye Community College’s Transfer-Out rate based on first-time, full-time Fall 2020 is 11%.
Transfer-Out rate is defined as the total number of students who are known to have transferred out of the reporting institution within 150% of normal time to completion divided by the adjusted cohort.
An Adjusted Cohort is defined as the result of removing any allowable exclusions from a cohort (or subcohort). For the Fall Enrollment component, it is the cohort for calculating retention rate; for the Graduation Rates component, this is the cohort from which graduation and transfer-out rates are calculated; and for the Outcome Measures component, these are the four cohorts (full-time, first-time; part-time-first-time; full-time, non-first-time; and part-time, non-first-time) for which outcomes rates are calculated at 4, 6, and 8 years.
