Retention Rates: IPEDS Measure
GSC is required by federal regulations to make available to current and prospective students the retention rate of certificate- or degree-seeking first-time, undergraduate students as reported to IPEDS. IPEDS calculates retention based on the first-time, full-time students in the highest degree conferred; however, the BSN program is an RN-to-BSN completion program, meaning that all students in the BSN are excluded from the IPEDS formula since they have already graduated from an associate’s programs and become licensed RNs.

| First-time, Full-time Bachelor's Cohort from Fall 2018 | 0 |
| Exclusions from Cohort | 0 |
| Adjusted Cohort | 0 |

Graduation, Completion and Transfer Out Rates
The IPEDS Graduation Rates (GR) survey component collects data on the cohort of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students and tracks their completion status at 150% of the normal time to complete all requirements of their program of study. This information is collected to assist institutions in complying with the requirements of the Student Right-to-Know Act.

Retention Rates: GSC Measure
In addition to calculations required by IPEDS and programmatic accreditors, the College also tracks it’s the retention rate of all students by program and across the institution in order to gauge the efficacy of retention strategies for all students. This retention calculation is based on the number of students in an incoming fall cohort who return to the institution the following fall term.

Post-Graduation Outcomes: Employment and Continuing Education
As a part of its mission to support the lifelong development of health care, the College tracks certain post-graduation outcomes: First, the College tracks the number of graduates who are employed in their field of study. Secondly, the College tracks the number of students in each graduating cohort who continue their formal education in a degree program. These outcomes are tracked institutionally and by program.
