The Time for Completion Act requires colleges and universities to publicly disclose detailed graduation rate information broken down by student type and program length. Specifically, schools must report what percentage of students complete their degrees within the standard timeframe, at 150 percent of normal time, at 200 percent of normal time, and at 300 percent of normal time, with separate data for first-time versus non-first-time students and full-time versus part-time students. This information applies to both four-year and shorter programs and must be displayed consistently and with equal visibility so prospective students can easily compare completion rates across institutions. The bill amends existing higher education law to require this expanded transparency without establishing new funding or specific implementation timelines. The legislation aims to help students make more informed decisions about college choice by providing clearer data on how long it typically takes students to graduate.
