Fall 2022 COHORT
The Student Right-to-Know Act Also known as the “Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act” (P.L. 101-542) was passed by Congress November 9, 1990. Title I, Section 103, requires institutions eligible for Title IV funding to calculate completion or graduation rates of certificate- or degree-seeking, full-time students entering that institution, and to disclose these rates to all students and prospective students. These rates must be calculated after three years from initial entry, which is 150% of the time for a two-year degree.
Of the Jefferson State Community College’s Fall 2023 population of 8,769 students enrolled there was an initial cohort of 954 first time, degree or certificate seeking full- time students. Of this initial cohort (206 students), 22% graduated from Jefferson State Community College in the 150% - 3-year time span and 38% of this initial cohort (358 students) transferred to another college or university.
