STUDENT RIGHT-TO-KNOW GRADUATION RATES

Federal Graduation Rate
The Federal Graduation Rate report gives graduation information about students and student-athletes who entered as full-time students for the first time in the fall of 2002.  This is the most recent graduating class for which the required six years of information is available.  The report provides information about student-athletes who received athletics aid in one or more of eight sports categories:  football, men's basketball, baseball, men's track/cross country, men's other sports and mixed sports, women's basketball, women's track/cross country, and other women's sports.  For each of those sports categories, it includes information in six self-reported racial or ethnic groups:  American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black, Hispanic, Non-Resident Alien, White, and Other (not included in one of the other six groups or not available) and the total (all seven groups combined).

A graduation rate (percent) is based on a comparison of the number (N) of students who entered a college or university and the number of those who graduated within six years.  For example, if 100 students entered and 60 graduated within six years, the graduation rate is 60 percent.  It is important to note that graduation rates are affected by a number of factors:  some students may work part-time and need more than six years to graduate, some may leave school for a year or two to work or travel, some may transfer to another college or university, or some may be dismissed for academic deficiencies. Please note that if any of the above factors occur, the institution receives a 0 for that individual graduating.

Academic Success Rate
Bryant University will continue to report the ASR until our reclassification period is complete.  At that time, we will begin reporting the Division I Graduation Success Rate (GSR).

For Division II institutions, the academic success rate (ASR) adds transfer students, second-term enrollees, and those freshmen who did not receive athletics aid to the equation.  Students from the entering cohort who are considered allowable exclusions (those who either die or become permanently disabled, those who leave the school to join the armed forces, foreign services or attend a church mission), as well as those who would have been academically eligible to compete had they returned to that institution are removed from the equation.
