Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) Graduation and Employment Rate Calculation Methodology

The reporting period used to complete the Graduation and Employment Chart is determined by taking the program’s normal length of completion (including vacations and holidays rounded to the nearest whole number) in months multiplied by 150 percent and adding three (3) months for employment, based on the Commission’s report date. Students excluded from the calculation of the placement rate are those considered unavailable for placement due to a medical condition, incarceration, active military, or death. The rates are reported annually in October and include all students who started their program of study during the reporting period.
