• Graduation and Transfer-Out Rates
  • In accordance with federal regulations, Richland Community College reports overall graduation and transfer-out rates for a select group of students who entered the college in fall semester 2014. Note that not all students at Richland are tracked for these rates. Students who have already attended another postsecondary institution, or who began their studies on a part-time basis, are not tracked for this rate. At Richland, 25% of entering students were counted as "full-time, first-time" in fall 2016.
  • The overall graduation rate is also known as the "Student Right to Know" or IPEDS graduation rate. It tracks the progress of students who began their studies as full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking students to see if they complete a degree or other award such as a certificate within 150% of "normal time" (3 years for a 2-year degree) for completing the program in which they are enrolled. Richland also reports a transfer-out rate, which is the percentage of the full-time, first-time students who transferred to another institution.
  • Overall Graduation Rates for students who began studies in Fall 2014 (IPEDS): 40%
  • Overall Transfer-our Rates for students who began studies in Fall 2014: 17%
• Retention Rates
  • Retention rates measure the percentage of first-time students who return to the institution to continue their studies the following fall. The percentage of tull-time students who began their studies in fall 2015 and returned in fall 2016 was 64%.
