RIGHT-TO-KNOW PROGRAM COMPLETION
In compliance with the Student Right-to-Know (SRTK) and Campus Security Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-542), it is the policy of our college district to make available its completion and transfer rates to all current and prospective students. Beginning in Fall 2018, a cohort of all certificate-, degree-, and transfer-seeking first-time, full-time students were tracked over a three-year period. Their completion and transfer rates are listed above. These rates do not represent the success rates of the entire student population at the College, nor do they account for student outcomes occurring after this three-year tracking period.
Completion Rate: Based upon the cohort defined above, a Completer is a student who attained a certificate or degree or became 'transfer prepared' during a three-year period, from Fall 2018 to Spring 2021.
Transfer Rate: Students who have completed 60 transferable units with a GPA of 2.0 or better are considered 'transfer prepared '. Students who transferred to another post-secondary institution, prior to attaining a degree, certificate, or becoming 'transfer prepared' during a five-semester period, from Spring 2019 to Spring 2021, are transfer students.
2018 sRTK Cohort | Completion Rate | transfer rate |
---|---|---|
Merced College | 34.63% | 4.70% |
