General Connection Information-
CEDS elements are shown in bold/italicized font. 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 program of study concentration," 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. are those included in IHEP's Postsecondary Metrics framework: education; arts and humanities; social and behavioral sciences and human services; science, technology, engineering, and math; business and communications; health; trades. (NOTE: states may have different definitions for meta-major. Use whatever definition is applicable to your state and adjust the criteria for calculating a response as needed.) Calculating a Response-
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the school years for which the data will be measured: Academic Year Designator = 2023 and Academic Term Designator = Summer, and/or - Academic Year Designator = 2024 and Academic Term Designator = Fall, Spring, Summer
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, and Where the student is associated with a postsecondary institution through the Office of Postsecondary Education Identifier, and Entry Date into Postsecondary is within the Academic Year being reported.
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 being reported, and Enrollment Exit Date is < June 30 of the school year being reported.
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 completed at least 9 credits within a meta-major: Number of Credits Earned = 9 Credits Earned Cumulative = 9 se Level Type = College Level Course Credit Basis Type = Credit associated with the student's major
Divide the number of students who are completing at least 9 credits by the total number of first-year students. Multiply by 100. Disaggregate by Home Language-
