1 Two or more races was an optional reporting category in IPEDS 2009-10, and 295 institutions reported graduation rates using this option. The figures reported here should not be considered representative of all individuals who could be classified into Two or more races.
NOTE: The graduation rate was calculated as required for disclosure and reporting purposes under the Student Right-to-Know Act. This rate was calculated as the total number of completers within 150 percent of normal time divided by the revised cohort minus any allowable exclusions. The revised cohort is the current (spring 2010) estimate of the number of students entering the institution as full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates in the reference year. Allowable exclusions include those students who died or were totally and permanently disabled; those who left school to serve in the armed forces; those who left to serve with a foreign aid service of the federal government, such as the Peace Corps; and those who left to serve on official church missions.
