| NOTE: The graduation rate was calculated as the total number of students who completed a degree within 150 percent of the normal time to degree attainment divided by the number of students in the revised cohort (i.e., the cohort minus any allowable exclusions). For this indicator, the revised cohorts are the spring 2011 estimates of the number of students who entered a 2-year institution in fall 2007 and the spring 2003 estimates for the number of students who entered a 2-year institution in fall 2000 as first-time, full-time undergraduates seeking a certificate or associate’s degree. Students who transferred to another institution and graduated are not counted as completers at their initial institution. Included in the totals, but not shown separately, are estimates for persons with unknown race/ethnicity and nonresident aliens. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. For more information on race/ethnicity and classification of postsecondary education institutions, see Appendix C - Commonly Used Measures. For more information on the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), see Appendix B - Guide to Sources. |
