Transfer Rates 04


Cumberland County College reports its graduation rates annually to the state and federal government as required by the federal regulations.

Community college students enroll for a number of reasons other than to complete a degree or certificate. Some of these goals include: to upgrade job skills, to explore different programs, and to take courses prior to enrolling at another type of institution. For the students who entered Cumberland in Fall 2005 as first-time full-time degree-seeking students, 22 percent graduated within three years, 12 percent transferred prior to graduation, 19 percent were still enrolled at Cumberland, and 30 percent had left in good standing. Together, this "success rate" proportion is slightly over 83 percent of the entering cohort.

Sector Averages and Peer Group Comparisons

Graduation and transfer rates also are available for the New Jersey Community College sector which includes information from 19 county colleges as reported to the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education.

Peer Group Comparisons are composed of a national group of community colleges selected by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics based on information provided by all colleges through the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). The Peer Group is selected based on size of enrollment and other factors such as location.
