About these student measures

The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.

The undergraduate body of 4,411 is shaped by two large currents: an estimated 62.0% of students arrive as transfers or part-time students, and 38.6% receive Pell Grants. That means a majority of the student body did not start at University of Michigan-Flint, and a substantial share rely on federal grant aid to attend.

The University of Michigan-Flint shows a mixed persistence picture: first-year retention runs ahead of peers, while the [six-year graduation rate](/analysis/what-the-graduation-rate-doesnt-count/) trails them. Among full-time bachelor's-seeking first-year students, 77.8% return for a second year, above the peer median of 73.7% for comparable institutions (same type and size).

The six-year graduation rate for the first-time full-time cohort is 40.3%, below the peer median of 49.1%. Pell Grant recipients in the same entering class complete at a rate of 46.3%, above the overall six-year rate by 6.0 percentage points.

Enrolled students can expect a university where the first year supports persistence above the norm for comparable institutions, and where the six-year completion rate sits below the peer median.
