Information displayed will continue to be updated for this metric. CTEOS responses are not available until two years after the student was included in the CTEOS cohort to be surveyed since it is necessary to wait a year to make sure that the student has exited all postsecondary and then another year to survey that student. In addition, since students may exit and respond within a three, four or six year timeframe, the values displayed will continue to be updated for the cohort view as more survey responses from exiting cohort students are recorded.
A student included as a 4 year cohort student in 2014-15, exited and has no enrollment in 2018-2019, and then responds to the survey question in 2019-2020 when surveyed as part of CTEOS.
The exiter definition only includes students as exiters if they re-enrolled at any postsecondary institution from 07/01 of the selected year to 06/30 of the subsequent year.
All CTEOS respondents will be counted in this metric even if they did not have an enrollment record in the selected year.
The state student ID (SB01) has been included with the CTEOS file shared with the LaunchBoard team to improve the match rate for the transfer exclusion by using the Transfer bucket which contains data reported by CSU, UC, and the National Student Clearinghouse
