First-year sector mix
Public four-year, public two-year, and independent enrollment
THECB's separate GPA report assigns each student to the sector where they earned the most semester credit hours during the academic year. Because this is an academic-year measure, it may differ from the fall-only destination count above.
First-year performance
GPA bands by public college sector
| College sector | Below 2.0 | 2.0–2.49 | 2.5–2.99 | 3.0–3.49 | Above 3.5 | Unknown |

Methodology and caveats
- Enrollment source: Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board campus files.
- GPA source: Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board first-year GPA files.
- Tracked enrollment rate equals enrolled graduates divided by graduates excluding records THECB classifies as not trackable.
- Not found does not necessarily mean a graduate did not attend college; it means the graduate was not located in the records covered by this Texas report.
