The most recent data available is for Cohort Group 2014, which shows the graduation and transfer-out rates for students who started college as freshmen in Fall 2014. Federal IPEDS definition for graduation rate for degree-seeking freshmen is the percentage of full-time, first-time students completing a degree in 150% of normal time for the degree. For Associate degree-seekers, that time would be three years after entry, and for baccalaureate degree-seekers, that time would be six years after entry. The time period for the Fall 2014 entering baccalaureate degree-seeking freshmen ended in Summer 2020.
