Student Consumer Information
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) requires colleges and universities participating in federal student financial aid programs to disclose certain information to current and prospective students and College employees. These disclosures are intended to promote transparency, informed decision-making, and institutional accountability. Required information spans areas such as academic programs, costs, financial aid, campus safety, and student outcomes, and must be made readily accessible and kept up to date in accordance with federal regulations.
Student Achievement Outcomes
Student Success Measures: Spartanburg Community College's (SCC) regional accrediting body, The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), requires that all accredited institutions publish a statement of its goals for student achievement and the success of students in achieving those goals.
Student-Right-to-Know
As defined by federal Student-Right-To-Know (SRTK) legislation, Spartanburg Community College’s graduation rate for the 2021 cohort year is 28%, and transfer-out rate for 2021 cohort year is 10%. It is important to note that the SRTK is a “cohort” study. It identifies the students who are first-time, full-time, and degree-seeking in the fall semester of the cohort year. The graduation rate is the percentage of students in the cohort who graduate within 150% of the expected time to graduation (typically within three years for a two-year program). While SRTK has merit in that it provides a standardized measure of effectiveness, it is limited in that the cohort is small when compared to the typical community college or technical college population.
The 4-year Average Student-Right-To-Know Completion or Graduation Rate Calculation for Spartanburg Community College is 28%.
The 4-year Average Student-Right-To-Know Transfer-out Rate is 11%.
