Drawn from data housed at the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, this report explores: ■ Total enrollment and changes across years, by institution sector and control; ■ Enrollment totals and changes across years, nationally and by geographic region; ■ Full-time and part-time enrollment by institution type and geographic region; and ■ First-year retention and persistence rates, based on individual student pathways across institutions.

College graduates have higher earnings (Leslie & Brinkman, 1988; Perna, 2003), healthier lifestyles, more life satisfaction, and greater community ...

This chapter documents the ascendancy of information systems in the scheme of institutional priorities and considers the strengths and weaknesses associated with vended and homegrown systems.

They can help determine the short- and long-term success of new systems.

PATTERNS DIFFERED ACROSS GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS Enrollment trends were further examined in this study for patterns by U.S. Census region. Each region saw distinct enrollment patterns during the period explored, for example, ■ In the Northeast, enrollment increases were largely concentrated in 2009. Other regions saw relatively large increases in 2009, but the West, Midwest, and South saw noticeable increases with the 2007 and 2008 cohorts as well; ■ Midwest institutions saw less dramatic changes in enrollment, as compared to institutions in other regions; ■ Enrollments in the South increased steadily through 2009 and dropped in 2010, reflecting the national pattern most closely of all the regions; and ■ The West had greater proportions of students enrolled in public two-year institutions. Moreover, relatively large enrollment increases in the West occurred earlier (e.g., in 2007) than in other regions. These differences are in part a result of the varying types of educational offerings provided within each region and may also reflect regional variations in economic conditions across the U.S.

Signature Reports have been written especially for college administrators and postsecondary education policymakers, serving as a national resource for the continued study of student pathways and college enrollment patterns. Future topics will examine degree completions, concurrent enrollment patterns, dual credit enrollment patterns, and more.
