Above is current information, prepared by the NCAA, based on data provided by the institution in compliance with NCAA Bylaw 30.1 and the Federal Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act.

A graduation rate (percent) is based on a comparison of the number of students who entered a college or university as first-time full-time students in a given year and a number of those who graduated within six years. For example, if 100 students entered and 80 graduated within six years, the graduation rate is 80 percent.

It is important to note that graduation rates are affected by a number of factors: some students may return as part-time students, some may leave school to work or travel, some may transfer to another college or university, or some may be dismissed for academic reasons.

Academic Success Rates add transfer students, second-term enrolees and those freshmen who did not receive athletics aid but were recruited to the equation and subtracts students from the entering cohort who are considered allowable exclusions (those who either die or become permanently disabled, those who leave school to join the armed forces, foreign services or attend a church mission), as well as those who would have been academically eligible to compete had they returned to your insitution.
