Rationale:  The small size of disaggregated entering cohorts and the fluctuation in previous graduation rates make it difficult to predict future rates. In addition, the last entering cohort (2004) to be included has already entered CSU and new intervention strategies have not as yet been implemented. However, the continued expansion of campus housing is expected to have a positive effect on the campus environment and, thus, increased graduation rates.
Note: Graduation rate targets for the two certificate and three associate degree programs are not included. Projected target rates are not realistic due to the low enrollment of full-time first-time students in recent years. And, because of the low enrollment in these programs, CSU is considering the deactivation of some, if not all, of these programs.
