Student Success Index

The Student Success Index (SSI) provides a wholistic view of student success that goes beyond the narrow definition of the IPEDS Graduation Rate Survey (GRS) which is based on students entering as first-time in college with full-time enrollment at entry. The SSI includes part-time and transfer students and provides varying amounts of time to complete a degree or continue enrollment to be counted as success. Please note that not all subcohorts are available for all institutions. This is particularly true for subcohorts based on course enrollments or credits earned. For most of the history of the SCHEV student-level collections, private institutions did not submit course enrollment detail.
