On-Time Graduation Rates

Colleges and universities are required to disclose "On-Time Graduation Rates," also referred to in the regulations as completion rates, for each group of students that graduates from the institution in the previous award year. The rate is calculated by dividing the number of on-time completers by the total number of graduates for the year.

NECI additionally provides the number of graduates during an award year who completed their programs within 150% of the normal program length. This is a common measurement used in reporting graduation rates in other federal reporting and to accrediting agencies.
