Abstract	The Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) is a service of the National Student Clearinghouse established in 2017 to empower institutions with more comprehensive data, easier analysis, centralized reporting functions, and interactive visualizations. Since its inception, over 500 colleges and universities have participated in the PDP. The 2022 PDP Insights report focuses on two primary metrics: students' first year credit completion ratio (CCR) and credit accumulation rate (CAR). The CCR is the ratio of credits earned to credits attempted. This measure of student success and credit attainment can provide insights into students' overall course completion outcomes and measure the efficiency of students' movement through coursework. The CAR directly measures students' timely accumulation of college credits by identifying the share of students who surpassed specific credit-hour thresholds within a given period. This early momentum measure can offer insights into students' progression toward degree completion and provide indicators of when and where gaps in ultimate degree attainment between groups may begin. Students in this analysis are first-time (including first-time in college and first-time, transfer-in), degree-seeking students entering a PDP-participating institution in the 2019-20 cohort. (ERIC).
