Placement information

The College publishes its completion, placement, and licensure examination figures at Consumer Information, Student Outcomes. Program-level figures are published on the program pages and are calculated under the same methodology. This page describes how placement information is gathered. It does not restate figures.

How placement information is gathered

Career Services contacts each graduate after completion to record employment status. The Office of Institutional Effectiveness calculates the figures under the Placement and Outcomes Methodology Statement, the methodology statement of record (revised August 15, 2025; next review August 2028). In summary:

• Placement is employment in the field of training or a related field within 180 days of completion, divided by the number of graduates available for placement.
• Graduates enrolled full-time in further education, on active military duty, or with documented health or family circumstances are unavailable for placement and are not counted in the denominator.
• Self-directed, informal, seasonal, or family-arranged work is counted only where the employment is verifiable by a third party. Graduates reporting such work are otherwise retained in the denominator.
• A graduate who does not respond after three documented contact attempts is retained in the denominator.
• Programs with fewer than ten completions in the cohort year carry no program-level figure.

The methodology statement is provided in printed form on request from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness, Room A-118A, ext. 2235. Where a figure in another College publication differs from the Student Outcomes page, the Fact Book governs. Custom data requests: data request.
