The rate was calculated in the manner required for disclosure and reporting purposes under the Student Right-To-Know Act as the total number of completers within the specified time to degree attainment divided by the revised cohort minus any allowable exclusions. The revised cohort is the spring 2007 estimate of the number of students entering the institution in 2000 as first-time, full-time undergraduates seeking a bachelor’s or equivalent degree.
