Student Right to Know Outcome Data听

The Institutional Effectiveness Office recently completed the annual federal graduation rate report that requires us to follow a cohort of entering full time students and report on their status three years later. Sometimes these statistics are referred to as the 鈥淪tudent Right to Know鈥� data, because of the requirement that we make them available to prospective and current students.
