Completion and Graduation Rates
In accordance with federal regulations, Centralia College is reporting completion and graduation rates for a select group of students who entered the college in fall 2004. The study identifies the percentages that had completed their programs or transferred by Aug. 31, 2007.The study group, as specified by federal law, is relatively small when compared with the general student population. It includes only students who were:
- enrolled in credit classes full time,
- entering any college for the first time, and
- seeking a degree or certificate or planned to transfer to a four-year college or university
|

|
| The study group is only this percentage of the total fall 2004 enrollment. |

"Completion" includes those who completed an academic or professional technical degree or certificate. Many of these students may also have transferred but are not included in the transfer rate calculation.
"Transfer" students are those who enrolled in another college or university before they completed a degree of certificate. Thus the transfer rate calculation is lower than the actual rate of students who transfer because it does not include students who received a degree or certificate and then transferred.
These rates do not represent the success rates for the other 98.53% of students who attended Centralia College in fall 2004. They don't include any of the students who attended part time that fall, who enrolled full time but had previous college experience, or who took only a course or two to improve job or academic skills.
These rates don't take into account students who started full time, but later enrolled part time because of work or family commitments. They don't recognize that many community college students may take a quarter or more off from school because of other demands. They also don't take into account the students who have completed programs or transferred since Aug. 31, 2007.
The data in this report are from the 2007-2008 IPEDS Graduation Rate Survey (GR 2007), Section III provided by the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges.
