Graduation and Retention Rates
In compliance with the Student-Right-to-Know Act of 1991, FFCU reports the following graduation and retention rates.
Retention Rates for First-Time Students Pursuing Bachelor’s Degrees – Retention rates measure the percentage of first-time students who are seeking bachelor’s degrees who return to the institution to continue their studies the following fall. Please note that FFCU’s smaller enrollment numbers can cause a greater fluctuation in percentages than those of a larger institution.
Overall Graduation and Transfer-Out Rates – Known as the “Student Right to Know” or IPEDS graduation rate, this rate tracks the progress of students who began their studies as full-time, firsttime degree- or certificate-seeking students to see if they complete an academic program within 150% of “normal time.” These rates are determined from students who began their studies in Fall 2011. FFCU also reports a transfer-out rate, which is the percentage of the full-time, first-time students who transferred to another institution.
Bachelor’s degree graduation rates – Bachelor’s degree graduation rates measure the percentage of entering students beginning their studies full-time and are planning to get a bachelor’s degree and who complete their degree program within a specified amount of time.
Percentage of Students who began studies in Fall 2015 and returned in Fall 2016 = 100%
Overall Graduation Rate = 67% Overall Transfer-Out Rate = 33%
Students beginning in Fall 2011 graduating in 4 years = 67%
Students beginning in Fall 2011 graduating in 6 years = 67%
Students beginning in Fall 2009 graduating in 8 years = 33%
