Federal regulations governing institutions of higher education require that information on the following data be made available to students upon request:
Graduation rates and transfer-out rates for both first-time, full-time degree seekers and students receiving athletically-related aid
Arizona Western College, in compliance with the Student Right-to-Know Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-542), reports annually on the graduation/completion and transfer-out rates of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students. Students in a given fall cohort are considered to have graduated/completed or transferred to a four-year institution of higher education to continue that education if they have done so within three (3) years of the time they could have normally been expected to complete their program of study.
Graduation data is extracted from the college's computerized records while transfer information is provided with the assistance of the Arizona State Systems for Information on Student Transfer (ASSIST) housed at Arizona State University. Only feedback on students transferring to one of the three Arizona State Universities is available.
