Student right to know

Porterville Community College

Student Right-to-Know Rates for Fall 2020 Cohort
Completion Rate: 29.40 %
Transfer Rate: 3.80 %

 

In compliance with the federal Student Right-to-Know (SRTK) Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-542), it is the policy of Porterville College (PC) to publish its student completion and transfer rates. These rates are based on a limited cohort (or group) of students which are tracked for a three-year period. The cohort is limited because it includes only students who entered PC in the fall term as first-time, full-time students seeking a degree, certificate or transfer. Students included in the 2020 SRTK Cohort were tracked from Fall 2020 through Spring 2023 to determine their academic outcomes during the time period.

 

A student is included in the Completion Rate if they attained a certificate or degree or became ‘transfer prepared’ within the three-year period. Transfer-prepared is defined as having completed 60 transferable units with a GPA of 2.0 or better.

 

A student is included in the Transfer Rate if, within the three-year tracking period, they transferred to another postsecondary institution prior to receiving a certificate or degree or becoming ‘transfer-prepared’.
