Graduation Rates

The IPEDS GRS (Integrated Postsecondary Education System Graduation Rates Survey) annual report is now the vehicle to consistency in graduation rates reporting, while also being comparable to the NCAA graduation rates report.

The cohort consists of full-time beginners. Graduation rates are calculated based upon the number of students that receive any degree within 150% of the appropriate program length." Similarly, degrees are to be reported by the same distinction which creates the potential for multiple graduation rates (i.e., bachelor's degree-seeking students who received other degrees, other degree-seeking students who received bachelor's degrees, etc.).
