ON-TIME GRADUATION RATE CALCULATION GUIDELINES

The established threshold for On-Time Graduation Rateis 70%, meaning that at least 70% of the number of students who graduate with their enrollment cohort (i.e., within thirty (30) days of their expected graduation date) divided by the total number of students in that class who ultimately graduated. The enrollment date and the expected graduation date of each cohort are specified by the program.

The CoARC reviews this threshold over the most recent 3-year average reported.
