About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Financial access is a visible part of the undergraduate mix at The University of Tampa, though Pell Grant recipients are a minority of those enrolled. Pell Grants go to 15.2% of undergraduates, and undergraduate enrollment is 10,572.
The estimated share of entrants outside the first-time, full-time group is 14.8%, so the campus includes both students beginning college there and those arriving after prior college study. This profile suggests a university serving a largely non-Pell undergraduate body with a notable transfer pathway.
Pell-eligible and transfer applicants should compare the aid offer and transfer-credit plan with their own expected costs and completed coursework before deciding.
The University of Tampa retains 85.5% of its full-time, bachelor's-seeking students after the first year. The six-year graduation rate for the first-time, full-time cohort is 63.7%.
Both figures sit below the medians for comparable institutions, which are 90.1% and 80.0%. Pell Grant recipients in the same entering class complete at 55.2%, which is 8.5 percentage points below the overall rate.
