\1\Includes those students who were not enrolled for more than 4 consecutive months out of the year. Some students may not be enrolled at the time of the
follow-up survey. NOTE.--Data reflect completion and enrollment status by spring 1992 of first-time postsecondary students starting academic year 1989-90. Due to the limited time period covered by the survey, it was inappropriate to calculate bachelor's degree completion rates. Some cells in this table have relatively large sampling errors. See sampling error table in appendix. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Beginning Postsecondary Student Longitudinal Survey, 1992.
