Student Right to Know

皇冠8868会员登录 Valley College is providing the following information regarding our institution’s graduation and transfer-out rates. 的 information is provided in compliance with the “Student Right to Know and Campus 安全 Act” (P.L. 101-542), which was passed by Congress November 9, 1990. 的se data are based on data submitted to the Department of Education’s National Center for Educational Statistics through the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, commonly known as IPEDS. 

毕业 Rate 

的 graduation rate is based on an entering fall quarter cohort of students who are new to college, attending full time (12 or more credits), taking courses that can lead to a degree or certificate and are not dually enrolled in high school. 的 time allowed for graduation is 150% of the time normally required for the highest undergraduate degree offered by a college 或大学. 

Transfer Out Rate 

的 transfer out rate uses the same cohort of students as the graduation rate, except is looks at the number of students who did not graduate, but transferred to another college 或大学.  This is important, as community colleges have significant numbers of students who transfer to four-year institutions for a baccalaureate degree.  Table of graduation and transfer out rates

*Note that in fall quarter of 2017, 皇冠8868会员登录 Valley College began to offer four-year Bachelors of Applied Science degrees. This moved the college’s 150% cohort timeline from three to six years. 的refore, the fall cohort year moved back to fall of 2011. 

的se numbers do not reflect on the actual graduation or transfer rates of 皇冠8868会员登录 Valley College students. 的 majority of WVC students do not fit into the narrowly defined cohorts required by the Department of Education. 许多 of the college’s students begin their college experience in quarters other than fall quarter, many start college as part-time students or are participants in Washington’s 运行开始 program. 许多 begin their college experience taking courses that do not directly apply to a traditional college degree or certificate. 毕业 and transfer rates for all WVC students 更高.
