About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Siena Heights University has an undergraduate body with substantial Pell Grant participation and a sizable transfer pathway. Of its 1,495 undergraduates, 34.2% receive Pell Grants, a federal grant-aid measure, and an estimated 37.2% entered after beginning college elsewhere.
That mix suggests the university serves both students using federal grant aid and those continuing prior college work, rather than relying on one entry route alone. These figures describe the enrolled undergraduate population, not admission priorities or any applicant's odds.
Students considering Siena Heights University face a completion picture that sits below the typical result at comparable institutions. Among full-time bachelor’s-seeking first-year students, 70.0% return for a second year, compared with a peer median of 74.2% for comparable institutions (same type and size).
For the first-time full-time cohort, the six-year graduation rate is 38.6%, versus 54.9% at comparable institutions. Pell recipients in that cohort have a six-year completion rate of 35.4%, below the overall rate by 3.2 percentage points.
Enrolled students can expect persistence and completion measures that trail the comparable-institution medians, with Pell completion lower than the overall figure.
