Student Achievement: Vatterott College calculates achievement rates in accordance with the laws and standards of the organizations that license and accredit the College’s locations.

ACCSC Graduation & Employment Rates:  All locations of Vatterott College are accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges.  The Commission requires each Vatterott College location to calculate a graduation rate and an employment rate each year, for each program offered, which the institution submits in its Annual Report to ACCSC.  As discussed in the ACCSC Standards of Accreditation, a school demonstrates successful student achievement by maintaining graduation and employment rates that meet or exceed certain “Benchmarks” established by the Commission. 

The Program Page you’re visiting sets out the graduation and employment rates for the program, as reported in the location’s most recent ACCSC Annual Report.  In addition, the Program Page provides the ACCSC Benchmarks that apply to the program, thus enabling students to quickly determine whether the program is meeting or exceeding the expectations set by the Commission. 

Federal On-Time Graduation Rate: Beginning July 1, 2011, in accordance with federal regulations, Vatterott College will make available an “On-Time Graduation Rate” for each program.  This federal rate is calculated using the following, specific methodology:

1. Determine the number of students who completed the program during the most recently completed award year;
   
   
2. Determine the number of such students who completed the  program within normal time, regardless of whether the students transferred into the program or changed programs at the institution; and
   
   
3. Divide the number of students who completed the program within normal time by the total number of students who completed the program and multiplying the result by 100.

The Program Page you’re visiting includes the program’s current Federal On-Time Graduation Rate.
