SERP Fate Data

“For students in a given fall semester, in a given SERP population, college, department, and either academic level or program type, where were they one year later?”Boise State’s Strategic Enrollment and Retention Plan (SERP)

The SERP addresses two questions: How can we create more access to a Boise State degree, especially for Idaho students we’ve traditionally underserved? And once students have joined our community, what can we do to support each student to have a rich, high-quality experience that leads to a degree? More details about SERP including the full plan are available on the Boise State SERP Webpage.

The data represents 10th-day snapshots for each given fall semester. Department, college, and university totals are unduplicated with order of preference for students with multiple statuses at that level given to the higher Fates on the previous list. In a similar fashion, in the rare case when a student ends up with multiple Fates from one Fall to the next, the student is classified according to the highest Fate. Additional views of the fate data are available on the Boise State Fate Dashboard.

Users are advised to consider the varied structure and composition of departments (the number of programs they have, whether they have limited enrollment or competitive admission, etc.) when reviewing this data to avoid making inappropriate comparisons.
