Program Completion Rate/Graduation Rate
Program Completion Rate measures the percentage of graduates completing the program within 150% of the normal completion time. The Program Completion Rate is calculated by dividing the number of graduates that completed the program within 150% of the normal completion time by the number of students that were enrolled in that class as of the first day of the first nursing course. The timeframe encompasses the initial entry into the program (August 1) until 1 year post scheduled graduation (July 31). (3 year period)

Graduation Rate for Full-time, First-time, Certificate-Seeking Students
Completion Rate for full-time, first time undergraduates measures the percentage of full-time, first-time students that complete the program within 150% of the normal completion time. This rate is calculated by dividing the number of full-time, first-time students completing the program within 150% of the normal completion time by the number of full-time, first time students enrolled in that Class as of October 15 of the entering year. For students entering prior to Fall 2016, in order to fulfill preadmission requirements, students must have attended another post-secondary institution prior to entering Trinity. Therefore only students that completed the 8 required college course equivalents while in high school or during the Summer term prior to entering Trinity were considered full-time, first-time students. The timeframe encompasses the initial entry into the program (August 1) until 1 year post scheduled graduation (July 31). (3 year period)

For students entering prior to Fall 2016, in order to fulfill preadmission requirements, students must have attended another post-secondary institution prior to entering Trinity. Therefore only students that completed the 8 required college course equivalents while in high school or during the Summer term prior to entering Trinity were considered full-time, first-time students.
