Does the 6 year graduation rate suggest simply “date of first enrollment to date of graduation” or does it take into consideration that is 12 semesters and if someone takes a semester or two off, does that count? i.e. if I enroll Fall of '20 and graduate in spring '26 but only go for 10 semesters did I graduate in 5 years or 6?
But agree with what everyone else has said. There are several programs that by very nature are 5 years. Some kids can’t take full course loads every semester due to financial limitations (which include needing to work). And the 6 year metric is nothing new.
