Students' Right to Know Disclosure

Disclosure of Institutional Graduation / Completion and Transfer Out Rates

Montana Tech of The University of Montana is pleased to provide the following information regarding our institution’s graduation/completion rates. The information is provided in compliance with the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. The rates reflect the graduation/completion status of the first-time, full-time undergraduate degree/certificate seeking cohort who enrolled during the specified year.

When reviewing this information, please keep in mind:

150% of the normal time-to-completion equates to 6 years for a Bachelor, 3 years for an Associate, and 1 ½ years for a Certificate.
Though we are not required to report transfer-out rates, we’ve reported that information because many local area students plan to attend Tech for a year or two prior to transferring to another institution to complete a degree not offered at Tech.
Graduation (and transfer-out) rates do not include students who left the school to serve in the armed forces, on official church missions, or in the foreign service of the federal government.
Students who died or were totally and permanently disabled are also excluded.
This information does not identify the reasons why students may have withdrawn; therefore, students who withdrew for personal or medical reasons are included in the non-completer or transfer-out group.
A pound sign (#) denotes any cohort/sub-cohort with five or fewer students. Montana Tech is not required to disclose this information and chooses not to disclose due to student privacy issues.
