Note: Only degree-granting two-year colleges eligible to participate in Title IV federal financial-aid programs, with at least 50 students in the degree-seeking cohort, are included in the rankings. Institutions in which more than half of completing students finished programs of less than two years’ duration are excluded from the rankings. Overall figures for each sector, however, include all the degree-granting two-year colleges eligible for federal financial aid. Dashes indicate that information was not applicable or not available. The only institutions that were required to report the total number of students who transferred out without earning a degree or award within 150 percent of the normal time were those whose mission includes providing substantial preparation for students to enroll in another eligible institution without having completed a program. For other institutions, reporting of transfer-out data was optional. As a result, the overall percentages for students who transferred out probably underrepresent that group. Students who transferred and then graduated from another institution are not counted in the data as having graduated. Cohorts were adjusted to exclude students who died, were permanently disabled, or left to serve in the military or with a foreign-aid agency or an official church mission. Percentages were rounded, but institutions were ranked before rounding. Percentages may not add up to 100 because of rounding.
