This handout provides the information that a college must provide to students on graduation rates and transfer-out rates for full-time students seeking degrees at Northwest Technical College (NTC).<\/p>\n<h2>What is a Graduation Rate and What is a Transfer-Out Rate?<\/h2>\n<p>Federal regulations specify how to calculate the graduation and transfer rates. The rates come from a study of Northwest Technical College students who started at the college in the fall of 2020. The study includes all first-time students who enrolled full-time that fall and were seeking to earn a degree, diploma or certificate at the college. The graduation rate is the percentage of these students who graduated from NTC within three years. The transfer-out rate is the percentage of these students who did not graduate from NTC, but instead transferred to another college or university within three years.<\/p>\n<h2>What do I Need to Know About These Rates?<\/h2>\n<p>These rates do not report on all students at Northwest Technical College. The 62 first-time, full-time students in the study were about 8 percent of all students enrolled in fall of 2020.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the Graduation and Transfer-Out Rates for Northwest Technical College Students and how do They Compare to Rates for Other Colleges?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>graduation rate<\/strong> for NTC was 50 percent.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>transfer-out rate<\/strong> for NTC was 19 percent.<\/li>\n<li>The combination of the graduation rate and the transfer-out rate for NTC was 69 percent. The national average combined rate for similar colleges was 48 percent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Don&rsquo;t More Northwest Technical College Students Graduate or Transfer in Three Years?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Some students take jobs before they graduate;<\/li>\n<li>Students who switch from full-time to part-time enrollment or &ldquo;stop out&rdquo; for one or more semesters are more likely to take more than three years to graduate;<\/li>\n<li>Other students delay their education for personal, family or financial reasons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table style=\"height: 468px\"
