Update on retention and graduation report from Spring 2012 S14_retention and graduation.xls more complete picture this time

• Retention - 1st to 2nd year stay in CS around 70% recently, but 1st-2nd year stay at IIT is over 80% recently. Still need to work on this, but biggest factor seems to be admissions recruiting the right students.
• Action: Matt is increasing first year in person advising appts from 1 to 2 per term. School target is over 90% 1st-2nd year stay at IIT
• Graduation rate - 6 year rate is what is reported mostly (i.e. US News). If you just count students who started as first year CS majors and finished in 6 years with BS in CS, we had a couple first year classes (F07 & F08) that we only graduated 50-50% in 6 years. But if you included internal transfers into CS we are over 60%. F09 class looks promising, already over 75% graduated in 5 years. Target is over 75% graduation in 6 years.
• Action: Matt is implementing the degreeworks planner so both advisor and student see the effect of any withdraws or fails of classes.
