Florida State University sees record student retention for spring semester
Florida State University saw a historic 99.2% first-year retention rate this spring semester with 6,400 students returning.
That translates to roughly 6,400 first-year Seminoles choosing to continue their college journey at FSU, marking a significant milestone for the Tallahassee institution.
The university's commitment to retention extends beyond first-year students. FSU also recently set another record with 97% first-year retention, meaning students who started as first-year students in fall 2025 returned for their second fall semester.
Brown emphasized that strong retention rates don't just reflect current student success. They can also lead to higher graduation rates in the future.
University leaders say these historic numbers follow deliberate investments in support programs and engagement opportunities designed to keep students connected to campus life and academic success.
