The Student Right-to-Know Act, passed by Congress in 1990, requires institutions eligible for Title IV funding, under the Higher Education Act of 1965, to calculate completion or graduation rates of certificate- or degree-seeking, full-time students entering that institution, and to disclose these rates to current and prospective students.
Every institution that participates in any Title IV program and is attended by students receiving athletically-related student aid is required to disclose graduation/completion rates of all students as well as students receiving athletically-related student aid by race/ethnicity, gender and by sport, and the average completion or graduation rate for the four most recent years, to parents, coaches, and potential student athletes. To read more about the Student Right-to-Know Act, please visit the National Center for Education Statistics.
Rogers State University complies with the Student Right to Know Act. The following information is publicly available: graduation rates of IPEDS cohorts to include full-time, first-time, degree-seeking undergraduates and student athletes have received financial aid. Graduation rates include the graduation and completion status of students for 150% of the normal time-to-completion of a four-year, undergraduate degree (six years).
As a note, graduation rates do not include students who left school to serve in the armed forces, to take part in official church missions, or to help with a foreign aid service of the federal government. Students who are deceased or have become disabled and are no longer able to continue in their studies are not included. Students who withdrew for personal or medical reasons are included in the cohort.
Student Body Diversity (NPEC, Summary of HEA Institutional Disclosure Requirements, reference number 8) Brief Description: Institutions must make available to current and prospective students information about student body diversity, including the percentage of enrolled, full-time students in the following categories: male, female, self-identified members of a major racial or ethnic group, and Federal Pell Grant recipients.
Retention Rates (NPEC, Summary of HEA Institutional Disclosure Requirements, reference number 24) Brief Description: Institutions must make available to current and prospective students the retention rate of certificate- or degree-seeking, first-time, undergraduate students as reported to IPEDS.
Completion/Graduation Rates (NPEC, Summary of HEA Institutional Disclosure Requirements, reference number 25) Brief Description: Each institution must annually make available to prospective and enrolled students the completion or graduation rate of certificate- or degree-seeking, first-time, full-time, undergraduate students. The HEOA (Sec. 488(a) (3)) added a provision requiring that the completion or graduation rates must be disaggregated by gender, major racial and ethnic subgroup (as defined in IPEDS), recipients of a Federal Pell Grant, recipients of a subsidized Stafford Loan who did not receive a Pell Grant, and students who did not receive either a Pell Grant or a subsidized Stafford Loan.
