“Student Right to Know” Outcome data:
The Institutional Effectiveness Office recently completed the annual federal graduation rate report that requires us to follow a cohort of entering full time students and report on their status three years later. Sometimes these statistics are referred to as the “Student Right to Know” data, because of the requirement that we make them available to prospective and current students. Below is a summary of the results. The data reported to the federal government breaks the data down further, into race/ethnic group and gender categories. These detailed breakdowns are available upon request from our office.

Total # in full time entering cohort (entered fall 2009): 1803

Outcomes three years later (fall 2012):

  • All graduates within three years of entry: 275 or 15.3% (prior year = 14.5%)
  • Did not graduate, attending another college/university: 364 or 20.2% (prior year = 24%) (attendance verified by National Student Clearinghouse)
  • Didn't graduate, didn't transfer, still enrolled at the College: 319 or 17.7% (prior year = 16.3%)
  • Total "positive" outcomes - graduated, transferred, still enrolled: 53.1% (prior year = 54.8%)
