Definition
The estimated percentage of an entering freshman class not graduating in 4 years by the student's race and ethnicity. The measure is derived from the Averaged Freshman Graduation Rate (AFGR), which uses aggregate student enrollment data to estimate the size of an incoming freshman class and aggregate counts of the number of regular diplomas awarded four years later.
