Data collected during Program Evaluation are used to calculate and report graduate placement rates. The graduate placement rate is an indicator of how many graduates are employed or continuing education after completing their certificate, diploma, or degree. Colleges collect employment and continuing education information from graduates as part of this reporting process. Graduates may be excluded from the calculation if they are serving in the Armed Forces or with a foreign aid service, on an official church mission, deceased, totally/permanently disabled, or not actively seeking employment due to reasons such as medical, caregiver, incarceration, retirement, or sought credential as a hobby.
