Formula
Campus Retention Rate formula
((SPD D+E+F + NPE Q1+Q2a+Q2b) – (SPD L) – (CED Q1)) – (SPD P) /
((SPD D+E+F + NPE Q1+Q2a+Q2b) – (SPD L) – (CED Q1))
Program Retention Rate formula
SPD ((D+E+F+G) – (L+H) – P)) / SPD ((D+E+F+G) – (L+H))
SPD D = Continuing ,             SPD E = New Starts
SPD F = Reentries          SPD G =Transfer In
SPD H = Change of Program         SPD L = Transfer Out
SPD P = Other Withdrawals
NPE Q1 = Non-Program Continuing
NPE Q2a = Non-Program New Starts
NPE Q2b = Non-Program Reentries
CED Q1 = Enrolled in 2 Programs
Campus Placement Rate Formula
(SPD Q+R+S) / ((SPD I+J) – (SPD T+U+V+W+X+Y))
Program Placement Rate Formula
SPD (Q+R+S) / ((I+J) – (T+U+V+W+X+Y))
SPD Q,R,S = Placed in Program Related Fields
SPD I = Students Who Completed Programs
SPD J = Students Who Graduated Programs
SPD T, U, V, W, X, Y = Not Available
