Graduation Rate<\/strong> (Indicator for Goals 1, 2, 3)<\/p> Graduation Rate<\/strong> (GR) (4-Year) is reflective of full-time, first-time, degree-\/certificate-seeking students who started and finished at the same institution. Students included in graduation rates do not represent all of the students at an institution (e.g., GR excludes part-time and transfer students). The IPEDS graduation rate is calculated as:<\/p>\n GR = # of students who completed their program within a specific percentage of normal time to completion<\/u><\/p>\n # of students in the entering cohort (adjusted)<\/p>\n Targets and Actuals: 4 Year Graduation Rate<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/i><\/i><\/i><\/span> 2.

Enrollment <\/strong>(Indicator for Goals 1, 2, 3)<\/p> Undergraduate headcount is defined as the sum of the institutional counts (non-duplicated) of students taken on a prescribed census date after the end of the drop\/add period. A graduate credit hour is defined as an institutionally established equivalency that reasonably approximates some minimum amount of graduate student work reflective of the amount of work expected. A credit hour, graduate or undergraduate, is a unit of measure that gives value to the level of instruction, academic rigor, and time requirements for a course taken at an educational institution. At Ramapo, undergraduate headcount and graduate credit hours are calculated based on fall semester frozen file data.<\/p>\n Targets and Actuals: Undergraduate Headcount<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Targets: Graduate Credit Hours<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/i><\/i><\/i><\/span> 4.
