How are graduation rates calculated?

Graduation rates are calculated using the Student Right-to-Know formula in order to comply with U.S. Department of Education requirements. These statistics track all first-time, full-time diploma-seeking students who began school during the start date range and reached program completion within the normal time period or normal program length. The graduation rate is the percentage of first-time, full-time students who have completed their program within the normal time period or normal program length.

Placement Rates

What is the placement rate for graduates of your institution?

Placement rates vary depending on the methods of compiling, calculating, and reporting data by the regulatory agency or institution. Placement rates are intended to provide information on the number of students who have obtained employment in their field of study after graduation. The rates disclosed below reflect historical outcomes and should not be relied on by anyone as an implicit or explicit representation or promise of future outcomes or employability for any student following completion of a program of study at FVI School of Nursing and Technology. Numerous individual and market factors affect a graduate’s ability to secure employment in his/her field or in a related field after graduation, and the institution has little or no control over many of these factors. Therefore, FVI School of Nursing and Technology cannot and does not guarantee employment or estimate the likelihood of securing employment upon graduation for any student.
