ChartObject Retention and Graduation Rates
* Beginning in 1998 and revised back to 1993, the definition of full-time degree-seeking first-time freshmen was changed to include summer entrants
continuing to fall and early entry students.
Notes:
1) This report includes full-time degree-seeking first-time freshmen.
2) The retention rates are adjusted to include Health Science Center transfers. The graduation rates reflect those students starting on the
Norman Campus and graduating from the Health Sciences Center.
