The Regents Progress Card established graduation rate goals of 65% for our four-year cohort (i.e., the fall 2017 entering freshman class) and 82% for the six-year cohort (i.e., the fall 2015 entering freshman class) by 2021. Currently, our four-, five-, and six-year cohorts are on the right track, trending slightly higher than last year's rates that locked at 63.3%, 75.7%, and 77.69% respectively.
Our potential graduation rates are based on the number of students whose degrees have been awarded, plus the number of students who have applied for degree. Reaching those rates depends on every student who applied to graduate through summer 2016 actually receiving their degree.
To assist students financially in completing their degree, ASR currently has money available in the form of "Completion Funds.” While an ASR committee reviews each student on a case-by-case basis, priority is given to students who could benefit from registering for summer in order to get back on track for four-year degree completion or who are ready to graduate this summer. Preference is also given to students who are struggling to pay off their spring 2016 balance and need to register for summer or fall. If you have any students that you would like to nominate for completion funds, or any questions about who would be a good candidate, contact ASR Student Degree Progress (asr-sdp@umn.edu).
