FTIC Student Success Suite 

The FTIC student success suite of dashboards provide a series of reports to track and identify degree progression measures such as retention, persistence and graduation performance of FTIC student cohorts. The dashboards include term-by-term retention, persistence and  graduation numbers, term-by-term enrolled and not-enrolled numbers, trends in retention and graduation, student flows by college and access to underlying student data.

Students are tracked starting from the term of entry up until the current term. There are eight different cohorts available through the dashboards. 

Data Source: SID

Refresh schedule:  Each Benchmark. The “Last Refreshed” timestamp on each page indicates the date/time when the data was last refreshed.
