Graduation and 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 毕业率s and transfer-out rates for full-time students seeking degrees at Rochester Community and Technical College (正规赌博十大网站).

What is the 毕业率 and what is the transfer-out rate? 
Federal regulations specify how to calculate the graduation and transfer rates. 的 rates come from a study of Rochester Community and Technical College students who started at the college in the fall of 2020. 的 study includes all first-time students who enrolled full-time that fall and were seeking to earn a degree, 文凭, or certificate at the college. 的 毕业率 is the percentage of these students who graduated from 正规赌博十大网站 within three years. 的 transfer-out rate is the percentage of these students who did not graduate from 正规赌博十大网站, but instead transferred to another college or university within three years.

What do I need to know about these rates? 
的se rates do not report on all students at Rochester Community and Technical College. 的 583 first-time, full-time students in the study were 11 percent of all students enrolled at 正规赌博十大网站 in fall of 2020.

What are the graduation and transfer-out rates for Rochester students and how do they compare to rates for other colleges?

Why don’t more Rochester students graduate or transfer in three years?

  • Since 正规赌博十大网站 has an “open door” mission, many new students need to take developmental courses to improve their reading, 写作, or math skills before taking other college courses;
  • 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;
  • Some students take jobs before they graduate;
  • Other students delay their education for personal, family, or financial reasons.
