Student Right-to-Know Graduation & Transfer-Out Rates

What is Student Right-To-Know?

Student Right-To-Know is a federal law that requires all colleges and universities to disclose certain information to students. This handout provides the information that a college must provide to students on graduation rates and transfer-out rates for full-time students seeking degrees at Â鶹ÊÓƵ Tech.

What is a graduation rate and what is a transfer-out rate?

Federal regulations specify how to calculate the graduation and transfer rates. The rates come from a study of Â鶹ÊÓƵ Tech students who started at the college in the fall of 2020. The study includes all first-time students who were enrolled full-time that fall and were seeking to earn a degree, diploma or certificate at the college. The graduation rate is the percentage of these students who graduated from Â鶹ÊÓƵ Tech within three years. The transfer-out rate is the percentage of these students who did not graduate from Â鶹ÊÓƵ Tech, but instead transferred to another college or university within three years

What do I need to know about these rates?

These rates do not report on all students at Â鶹ÊÓƵ Tech. The 226 first-time, full-time students in the study were 6 percent of all students enrolled at Â鶹ÊÓƵ Tech in fall of 2020.

What are the graduation and transfer-out rates for Â鶹ÊÓƵ Tech students and how do they compare to rates for other colleges?

  • The graduation rate for Â鶹ÊÓƵ Tech was 44 percent.
  • The transfer-out rate for Â鶹ÊÓƵ Tech was 12 percent.
  • The combination of the graduation rate and the transfer-out rate for Â鶹ÊÓƵ Tech was 56 percent. The national average combined rate for similar colleges was 48 percent.

Why don’t more Â鶹ÊÓƵ Tech students graduate or transfer in three years?

  • Some students take jobs before they graduate;
  • Students who switch from full-time to part-time enrollment or “stop out” for one or more semesters are more likely to take more than three years to graduate;
  • Other students delay their education for personal, family or financial reasons.
