Definitions and Calculations
Below are reporting definitions and calculation timeframes:
- Program Graduation Rates: All programs are associate degrees; the rate represents the percentage of students who completed their degree within three years of starting the program (150% of the published length of the program).
- ACF Certification Rate: The percent of graduates during the summer, fall or spring semesters who applied for and received ACF certification. Certification is confirmed based on a review conducted through the ACF certification verifier available on the ACF website.
- Employment Knowledge Rate: The percentage of graduates who completed the First Destination Survey (FDS) indicating their employment status. For example, the Knowledge Rate for the 2023-2024 graduating class is the percentage of graduates from the summer 2023, fall 2023, or spring 2024 who completed the FDS survey by December 2024.
- Related Job Placement Rate: The percentage of graduates who completed the First Destination Survey indicating that they are employed in a position that is related to their degree.
