About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Vermont State University is a public university in Randolph, Vermont, enrolling 3,590 undergraduates. An estimated 49.0% of undergraduates did not enter as first-time full-time students.
34.1% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants, a federal aid program for students with financial need.
Pell Grant recipients in the first-time full-time cohort complete at 67.4%, which is 20.2 percentage points above the overall six-year graduation rate of 47.2%. First-year retention stands at 67.8%, below the median of 73.7% for comparable institutions (same type and size).
The six-year graduation rate sits below its peer median of 49.1%. A student who enrolls should weigh the below-peer persistence rates against the fact that Pell recipients here complete at a rate that exceeds the overall figure.
