Western Dakota Tech provides the following information in compliance with the federal Higher Education Opportunity Act.
The graduation rates reflect our cohorts of full-time, first-time, degree-seeking undergraduates that have received financial aid. The graduation rates show the graduation/completion status of students who enrolled for whom 150% of the normal time-to-completion of a four-year, undergraduate degree has elapsed.
Things to keep in mind when viewing this information:
- Graduation rates reflect a specific group of students – summer and fall First-time, Full-time students. While this is an important group to track, it does not represent all of our students, including students who start in the spring, transfer students, part-time students, or non-degree seeking students.
- Students who withdrew for personal or medical reasons are included in the original headcount.
- Western Dakota Tech is committed to developing Transfer Agreements with multiple institutions so students have the option to continue their education, but our primary mission is to prepare students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities they need to be successful in their chosen career. For this reason, we have chosen not to report our transfer-out rate.
*Disaggregated rates are disclosed only for groups in which numbers are large enough to protect student identities.
