Graduation rates of the first-time entering, full-time cohort are analyzed by the institution to track the percentage of students who successfully graduate from the institution within 150% of normal time to a degree. This metric is published in the Online Factbook in accordance with SACSCOC Standard 8.1.
Definition
Calculates the percentage of students in the first-time entering full-time cohort that graduate within 150% of normal time to a degree.
Expected Outcome
Optimally, 50% of the first-time entering, full-time cohort will graduate from the institution within 150% of normal time to a degree (target). The minimum threshold for the 150% graduation rate is the national average of the 150% graduation rates for the first-time entering, full-time cohort at two-year public community colleges as reported by IPEDS.
