CAA Notes:

a.) Number Completing on Time is defined as the number of students who completed within the published total number of terms (consecutive and non-consecutive with a university approved leave of absence) to complete the program.

b.) Number Completing Later Than on Time is defined as the number of students who started the program, but who needed more than the program’s published number of terms to complete the program, for academic or clinical progress reasons (e.g., repeat an academic or clinic course, infrequent course offerings, remediation was required, had to carry a reduced load), and were not granted a university approved leave of absence.

c.) Number Not Completing is defined as those students who were dismissed or left the program for academic, ethical, clinical, student integrity, or other program-related reasons.

d.) Students who took more than the published number of terms to complete the program because they were given a university approved leave of absence (e.g., medical, military) or had other non-curricular reasons unrelated to the program (e.g., personal, financial, relocation) and students who left the program for personal reasons unrelated to the program, faculty and staff, or academic or clinical curriculum will not count toward the 3-year average program completion rate.

Updated  September 1, 2021

e.) For the Reporting 2020-2021 Year, students graduating completed an additional semester of clinical practicum due to the closure of their external clinical placements in Spring 2020 during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.
