Graduation Rate

Based on the time period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020: 66 individuals graduated with 28 graduating on time at the end of 12 quarters, with a completion rate of 50.51% and 56.00% completing the program within the normal time frame.

From Fall 2016 to Summer 2017, we had 99 total students start the program.  Of those total starts, 32 withdrew or were terminated, 17 are still enrolled at Platt, and 50 of those were graduates (the other 16 grads were students from previous starts and/or re-entry students).  So 50/99 = 50.51% completion rate.  28/50 graduated within the normal time frame = 56.00%.  (*Note: 66 graduated total during the time period.  28 out of the 66 completed the program in 12 quarters or less.  38 other individuals graduated afer the 12 quarter measurement.  The totals for the remaining 38 are as follows: 13 quarters:  23 students; 14 quarters:  11 students; 15 quarters:  2 students; 16 quarters:  2 students)

Transfer-Out-Rate is based on the percentage of full-time, first-time students who transferred to another institution from Platt College.  For Fall 2019-2020, 1 student out of 241 were categorized as full-time, first-time students.  Zero students transferred to another institution.
