  • Entering class size
    • Number of students newly enrolled for the admission cycle PLUS number of students who are reentering from a different cohort.

  • Graduation rate calculation:  Number of cohort graduates divided by the (entering class size + number joining class cohort).
  • “Comments” are not required but may provide supplemental narrative to enhance understanding of the data presented.

Publishing the ARC-PA Student Graduation Rate Template:

  • The completed table must be published without any edits beyond inserting your program’s most updated data.
  • You may publish the Attrition Table through ‘copy’ and ‘paste’ or by saving the table as a separate file that is attached to your program’s website. 
  • Some program websites will not accept an upload of the table or an image of the table. In this case, the program may recreate the table using its web design system in a manner that resembles the ARC-PA table. Contact Accreditation Services with questions. 
  • The ARC-PA directions for table completion are not required to be published.
  • This table is the minimum information that needs to be published according to standard A3.11i.  Programs may provide additional information as long as that information accurately reflects the program offered (standard A3.10)

Programs should refer to the ARC-PA glossary definition of ‘attrition’ when completing accreditation application materials.
