By Steve Robinson | Special to The Tribunes for each of the state’s eight public colleges and universities.the stagnation of the COVID-19 pandemic and defying declining college enrollment trends across the country.students are counted is as important as the final tally.

These are classes that pique your curiosity, engage your mind, update your skillset and serve our economy — whether as a high school student, tradesperson or a retiree. We encourage high school students to get as much college credit as they can between AP classes, summer leveling-up courses and concurrent enrollment. Career and technical education prepare students for high-demand jobs important to our economy. And continuing education is one of the great joys of life.
At some Utah colleges and universities, one of every three students enrolled is non-matriculated. At another, 45% of the student body is non-matriculated. When nearly half a university’s students are not pursuing a degree, and not on campus, it’s a mismatched comparison with the U. We define student success as graduation. Two-thirds of U. graduates complete their degrees within six years — the highest timely graduation rate among Utah’s public universities. These degree-earning students are essential to Utah’s healthy economy and workforce development. The University of Utah’s high matriculation and graduation rates are the numbers behind the numbers.
