About these student measures The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns. Pell Grant recipients make up 54.3% of undergraduates at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, placing financial access at the center of who attends. Undergraduate enrollment is 7,582, and an estimated 31.1% of the undergraduate body enters as transfers or part-time students, so the campus includes both first-time and transfer entrants. In its 2025-26 Common Data Set, the university reported 26,494 first-year applicants, 9,884 admitted applicants, and 1,232 enrolled first-year students. It also reported 1,541 degree-seeking transfer applicants, 779 admitted transfer applicants, and 502 enrolled transfers. Pell-eligible and transfer applicants should review the university's aid and transfer-credit information alongside their own plans. Students who begin full time have a strong likelihood of returning for another year: the first-year retention rate is 89.2%, above the peer median of 73.7% for comparable institutions. The [six-year graduation rate](/analysis/what-the-graduation-rate-doesnt-count/) for the first-time full-time cohort is 53.3%, also above the peer median of 49.1%. Pell recipients in that cohort have a six-year completion rate of 49.5%, below the overall rate by 3.8 percentage points. Enrolled students can expect high first-year persistence and completion above the comparable-institution median, though Pell recipients' completion rate remains lower than the overall figure. The retention and overall completion figures point in the same direction against peer medians. ## Data & methodology Sources and reporting periods: [methodology](/methodology/).
