However, a significant share of current undergraduates will eventually disengage from college before earning a degree or other credential. They will join tens of millions of other adult Americans who are Some College, No Credential (SCNC) .  \nThe SCNC population has been consistently rising over time. In 2019, it comprised 36 million adults. Although some SCNC students have re-enrolled in college or earned a credential since then, the majority remain out of college with no degree or other postsecondary credential. In fact, today’s SCNC population is 41.9 million students, 36.8 million of whom are between the ages of 18 and 64. This represents 18.1 percent of the total United States population between 18 and 64 years old. Re-engaging those who stop out remains a persistent challenge and a priority for the forty states that have set ambitious postsecondary attainment goals. It will also help to increase the national credential attainment rate, which currently stands at 54.3 percent for those 25 to 64 years old according to Lumina Foundation’s Stronger Nation initiative.  \nThis report aims to provide timely insights into the SCNC population, offering state leaders and policymakers accurate data on its current status, along with tracking progress and outcome measures for SCNC students. The first section of this report describes who makes up the SCNC population and how it has changed since our last report. In this section, we pay particular attention to Recent Stopouts, who joined the SCNC population after being stopped out between January 2021 and July 2022. In the second section, we report on SCNC re-enrollment in the 2022-23 academic year as well as first-year credential earning for re-enrollees. We also provide new updates on continued enrollment and secondyear credential earning for SCNC re-enrollees in the 2021-22 academic year, whom we first reported on last year.  \nHIGHLIGHTS  \n◼ The SCNC population currently under 65 stood at more than 36.8 million at the end of July 2022, an increase of 2.9 percent from the previous year.  \n◼ Pandemic-related enrollment declines at community colleges led to fewer Recent Stopouts between January 2021 and July 2022 compared with the same period a year prior.  \n◼ Declines in Recent Stopouts did little to impact the SCNC population, which increased in nearly all states.  \n◼ The SCNC population continues to be less White and more male than the overall undergraduate population. Recent Stopouts, however, continue to be younger and more female than the overall SCNC population.  \n◼ SCNC student re-enrollment increased in the 2022-23 academic year (+9 . 1%) .  \n◼ Primarily online institutions (POIs) are an increasingly popular destination sector for students who switch schools at re-enrollment, although students re-enrolling at POIs have the lowest credential earning rate of all sectors after two years.  \n◼ Although men and Hispanic, Black, and Native American students are disproportionately represented among the overall SCNC population, women and White and Asian re-enrollees are more likely to complete a credential in the first year or persevere into a second year of enrollment.  \n◼ Potential completer re-enrollees earn credentials at nearly twice the rate of their SCNC peers and earn more associate and bachelor’s degrees within two years.  \nReport Contents  \nIntroduction ............................................................................................................................................. 2  \nReport Overview ...................................................................................................................................... 4","cbCaiiIlGXGjTMOK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiIlGXGjTMOK","pdf",861277,18,"English","# Introduction\n## Report Overview\n# The SCNC Population at the Start of the 2022-23 Academic Year\n## SCNC Population: Overview and Growth Since Last Report\n## SCNC Population: Demographic Stability\n# Progress and Success for SCNC Students During the 2022-23 Academic Year\n## Re-Enrollment: Trends and Student Pathways\n## Outcomes for Re-Enrollees: Perseverance, Progress, and Credential Earning\n## Outcomes for Re-Enrollees: Strong Advantages for Potential Completers, Limited Advantages for Recent Stopouts\n## Outcomes for Re-Enrollees: Demographic Disparities\n## Credential Earning: Award Types and Pathways Among Re-Enrollees\n## Credential Earning: Credentials After Stopout Without Re-Enrolling\n# Summary and Implications\n## Methodological Notes","[{\"question\":\"What does “Some College, No Credential (SCNC)” mean and how large is the population?\",\"answer\":\"SCNC refers to adults who attend college but do not ultimately earn a degree or other postsecondary credential.
