About Graduation Rates
Every year, colleges and universities like 黑料传送门 are required to submit data about our institution and our students to the federal Department of Education. This information is then posted on the federal web site,听听where you can search for colleges and compare information. 黑料传送门 is also required by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008, to provide all students and prospective students with specific information about our institution, including the retention and graduate rates on this page.
At 黑料传送门, graduation is our goal.听It鈥檚 the reason we exist: to help every student who enrolls achieve the degree that will turn dreams into realities; so we take graduation rates very seriously. You may have seen graduation rates reported for 黑料传送门, including a rate on the College Scorecard of under 20%. That鈥檚 because the College Scorecard uses Department of Education data that听only counts first-time, full-time students.
In other words,听the nontraditional students who make up more than 98% of 黑料传送门鈥檚 student body are not counted in the College Scorecard data.听The vast majority of 黑料传送门 students have previous college experience before coming to 黑料传送门. These students are not considered first-time students, so their success at 黑料传送门 is not counted in the rate reported by the Department of Education through the College Scorecard.
To put it another way: The College Scorecard data excludes the very students 黑料传送门 was designed to serve.
