Student Right to Know Act – Student Outcomes – Fall 2013 Cohort/Job Placement Rates

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 2022 population of 8,435 students enrolled, there was an initial cohort of 963 first time, degree or certificate seeking full-time students. Of this initial cohort (224 students), 23% graduated from Jefferson State Community College in the 150%, 3-year time span and 37% of this initial cohort (353 students) transferred to another college or university.
