General Connection Information-
CEDS elements are shown in bold/italicized font and CEDS options are shown in italics. This metric is part of the Education-to-Workforce (E-W) Indicator Framework, specifically “Outcomes and milestones” which pertain to key outcomes and milestones along the E-W continuum that are strongly associated with individuals achieving economic mobility and security. This metric is a measurement for a key indicator, “First-year credit accumulation,” and measures whether students who are first-year college students have attempted or completed a sufficient amount of credits toward on-time completion in their first year. Calculating a Response-
Percentage of students attempting and completing sufficient credits toward on-time completion in their first year: 30 credits for full-time and 15 credits for part-time students. Use the following CEDS elements to determine the school years for which the data will be measured: NOTE: if a student is simultaneously enrolled or changes institutions between terms, you will need to combine those cross-institutional records (or pick up transfer credits). Academic Year Designator = 2023 and Academic Term Designator = Summer, and/or - Academic Year Designator = 2024 and Academic Term Designator = Fall, Spring, Summer
Define your first year. It may cross academic years so adjust them as to how your organization calculates first year. Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of students: Pull all unique students which is determined by using a unique Student Identifier where Student Identification System = State - Where the student is associated with a postsecondary institution through the Office of the Postsecondary Education Identifier, and
- Entry Date into Postsecondary
From the universe of students, narrow the list to first-year college students using the following CEDS elements. - First Time Postsecondary Student = Yes, and
- Enrollment Entry Date is ≥ July 1 of the school year being reported, and
- Enrollment Exit Date is ≤ June 30 of the school year being reported.
- If you define first year as crossing academic years (Summer, Fall, Spring, Summer), your enrollment entry and exit dates may be different than those suggested here. Adjust them to how your organization calculates first year.
Identify which students are full-time or part-time: - Filter records where Postsecondary Enrollment Status = Full-time, or Less than full-time but at least half-time.
Identify which students have attempted or completed enough credits: (NOTE: do not include dual or accelerated credit in this analysis.) - = 30 if Postsecondary Enrollment Status = Full-time, or 15 if Postsecondary Enrollment Status = Less than full-time but at least half-time.
- Credits Attempted Cumulative = 30 if Postsecondary Enrollment Status = Full-time, or 15 if Postsecondary Enrollment Status = Less than full-time but at least half-time.
- Course Level Type = College Level
If students are simultaneously enrolled or have transferred during the school year use the following elements: Using the unique Office of Postsecondary Education Identifier - Filter records where Postsecondary Enrollment Status = Full-time, or Less than full-time but at least half-time.
Divide the number of Full-time students who earned ≥ 30 credits by the end of their first year by the total number of Full-time students in their first year. Multiply by 100. Divide the number of Part-time students who earned ≥ 15 credits by the end of their first year by the total number of Part-time students in their first year. Multiply by 100. Disaggregate by Home Language-
Use the following CEDS element(s) to Disaggregate the final set of students by home language: - Language Type = Home Language, and
- ISO 639-3 Language Code ≠ English, and/or
- English Learner Status = Yes

Use the following CEDS element(s) to disaggregate the final set of students by race: Filter records where Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity = No. Count, by race, where any of the following are true: Race = American Indian or Alaska Native Race = Asian Race = Black or African American Race = Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander Race = White Race = Demographic Race Two or More Races Race = Race and Ethnicity Unknown
Use the following CEDS element(s) to disaggregate the final set of students by Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity: - Filter records where Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity = Yes
Disaggregate by Disability Status-
Use the following CEDS element(s) to disaggregate the final set of students by disability status: Students with a Disability Disability Status = Yes, No; and Status Start Date ≤ Enrollment Entry Date Status End Date is null or ≥ Enrollment Exit Date Section 504 Status = Yes, No Status Start Date ≤ Enrollment Entry Date Status End Date is null or ≥ Enrollment Exit Date
Disaggregate by Urbanicity-
Use the following CEDS element(s) to disaggregate the final set of students by Urbanicity: *NOTE: Urbanicity is meant to identify the school’s location, not the student’s residence. However, If the student is remote, then this would be the student’s location. 1. Rural Residency Status = Yes (indicating rural) or No (indicating urban) Disaggregate by Parental Education Level-
Use the following CEDS element(s) to disaggregate the final set of students by parental education level: Completed = (select the option that best fits the parent/guardian’s education level)

Use the following CEDS element(s) to disaggregate the final set of students by English Learner status: English Learner Status = Yes, No Program Participation Start Date ≤ the school year being reported Program Participation Exit Date ≥ the school year being reported
Disaggregate by Attendance Intensity-
Use the following CEDS element(s) to disaggregate the final set of students by attendance intensity: Postsecondary Enrollment Status = Full time, Less than full-time but at least half-time
Disaggregate by Age Group-
Use the following CEDS element(s) to disaggregate the final set of students byage group: Birthdate = the enrollment date of the school year being reported
Disaggregate by Income Level-
Use the following CEDS element(s) to disaggregate the final set of students by income level: Low-income status = Yes or No
Disaggregate by Individuals or Family Military Status-
