Retention & Graduation Rates

The retention & graduation reports detail retention, continuation, and graduation rates for first-time, full-time baccalaureate students from the fall 2014 through fall 2023 incoming cohorts at UMaine and UMaine Machias, both overall and disaggregated by college. The non-retained student report examines where first-time, full-time undergraduate students who were not retained at UMaine went.
