About 2.3 million students stopped out of college between January 2021 and July 2022, a 2.9 percent increase from the year prior, according to a report out today from the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) Research Center.
For the first time, the NSC did not include adults over 65 in this year's data in order to align more closely with the workforce goals of states investing in re-enrollment programs. The 25-35, 25-45 and 45-64 age groups all had roughly the same share of the some college, no degree population: about 30 percent.
The report contained some positive news: the number of students re-enrolling in the 2022-23 academic year increased by about 78,000, nearly reversing the prior year's 80,000 student decline in re-entry.
