The number of former students with some college credit but no degree increased to 40.4 million between July 2020 and July 2021. That’s up 3.6% from 39 million the previous year.
But despite the increase in numbers, fewer “some college, no credential” students reenrolled in college, persevered past their first year of reenrollment, or completed a credential in the 2021-2022 academic year over the previous year.
