BOC Pass Rate
Once a BOC ID is matched to each student in a cohort, and the student has taken the BOC exam, this table will populate from data directly from the BOC. The aggregate pass rate is calculated by the number of graduates taking the exam divided by the number of graduates who pass the exam. Important note: The first time pass rate and total pass rate may be different than what was previously received by programs from the BOC in the Institution Pass Report . The BOC pass rate on previous reports from the BOC was calculated without regard to student cohort and was based on the BOC exam year (April-February of each year). BOC pass rate data posted on the program's website MUST match the data on this table.
| 3 yr aggregate | |
|---|---|
| Number of students graduating from program. | 48 |
| Number of students graduating from program who took examination. | 48 |
| Number of students who passed the examination on the first attempt. | 30 |
| Percentage of students who passed the examination on the first attempt. | 63 |
| Number of students who passed the examination regardless of the number of attempts. | 41 |

Program Retention Rate
Measures the percentage of students who have enrolled in the professional program who return to the institution to continue their studies in the program the following academic year. Program retention rate includes the number of students who enrolled in the program, the number of students returning for each subsequent academic year, and the percentage of students returning for each subsequent academic year.
Please note: Our system began automatically calculating the retention rate percentage beginning in 2020-21. Prior year data for the retention rate percentage is not available through our system and will display at n/a. Program retention rates are only calculated and updated one time per year. Program Administrators: Please ensure student cohort information is updated each year to ensure accurate information is reflected in the outcomes tables.
