schools to provide important information regarding outcome rates in the

On-time completion is defined by the U.S. Department of Education as anyone
who graduates within the normal completion time. When a student completes
their graduation requirements, including all theory and practical
assignments, and the required number of clock hours without missing any
time, that student is considered to have graduated on-time. If a student
misses any time for any reason, such as family responsibilities, day care
issues, and other life events, they are not considered an on-time graduate.
The school’s on-time graduation rate is listed on each course paged under
Gainful Employment. Please note that our graduation rates that are provided
in the school catalog are based on how many students started the program
and how many completed within the reporting period.

Graduation: Based on all students scheduled to graduate from the program in
2021. The scheduled graduation date is a student’s most recent contract end
date (i.e., the contract end date after all leaves of absence, schedule
changes and re-enrollments have been accounted for). A student may count as
a graduate if they have completed all applicable graduation requirements at
the institution.

Licensure: Based on graduates from the graduation cohort who sat for all
parts of their required licensure exam prior to November 30, 2022. A
student in the licensure cohort may count as a “pass” if they pass all
required portions of the examination prior to November 30, 2022.

*Placement: *Based on graduates from the graduation cohort who are eligible
for placement. A student may count as placed if they are employed in a
field for which their training prepared them prior to November 30, 2022.
Students may be excluded from the calculation if they fall into one of the
categories listed.
