Overall Graduation and Transfer-Out Rates

Known as the “Student Right to Know” or IPEDS graduation rate, this rate tracks the progress of students who began their studies as full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking students to see if they complete an academic program within 150% of “normal time.” These rates are determined from students who began their studies in Fall 2005. FFCU also reports a transfer-out rate, which is the percent-age of the full-time, first-time students who transferred to another institution. (Note: not all students at the institution are tracked for these rates. Students who have already attended another postsecondary institution, or who began their studies on a part-time basis, are not tracked for this rate. At this institution, 50% of entering students were counted as “full-time, first-time” in 2011.)
