Time for Completion Act
This bill requires colleges to publicly disclose standardized graduation and completion rates for different student groups. Specifically, it mandates that institutions report the percentage of students completing degrees or certificates within four timeframes (normal program length, 150%, 200%, and 300% of normal) for four distinct categories: full-time/part-time and first-time/non-first-time students. These rates must be displayed consistently and with equal visibility for all students and prospective consumers. The bill directly affects prospective students, parents, and consumers who use this data when choosing educational programs. It standardizes existing reporting requirements under the Higher Education Act without changing graduation timelines or requirements.
