Completion/Graduation Rate
The U.S. Department of Education requires all colleges who receive federal Title IV funding to make available to current and prospective student’s information about retention, graduation, transfer-out, and placement rates each academic year. Information is disclosed each semester to current students, faculty, and staff and are available on the STC website at http://www.savannahtech.edu/about-savannah-technical-college/student-consumer-information/retentiongraduationtransfer-outand-placement-rates/
Retention rates are based on first-time, certificate or degree seeking students each academic year. This information is reported each year and is available through the Department of Education College Navigator.
Graduation and Transfer-Out rates track the progress of students who began their studies as full-time, first-time degree or certificate-seeking students to see if they graduated or transferred-out within the 150% of “normal time” for completing the program in which they are enrolled. This information is also reported each year and is available through the Department of Education College Navigator.
Placement rates are based on the unduplicated graduates and their latest placement record for the academic year. The rates are calculated by the Technical College System of Georgia Data Center. The total placement rate is based on graduates employed in field, military, employed in related field, employed in unrelated field, employed in field and continuing education, employed in related field and continuing education, employed in unrelated field and continuing education, and continuing education. Placed in field includes those employed in field, military, employed in related field, employed in field and continuing education, employed in related field and continuing education.
