As part of our student success efforts, in Fall 2019 we encouraged first-time freshmen to enroll in 15 or more units, based on a robust body of research that credit momentum (taking 15 or more units in the first semester, or 30 or more units in the first year) is associated with higher graduation rates, especially for minoritized students.  Now that we are nearly 5 years into this work, we have refreshed our Credit Momentum dashboard where we share demographics of momentum students and outcomes associated with momentum status.  Explore the dashboard to learn more about momentum students in your college and outcomes disaggregated by student characteristics!
