After piloting the collection of Graduation Rate Dashboard (GRD) data with approximately 70 institutions in 2014, WSCUC asked all institutions in the region with undergraduate degree programs to submit GRD data during the May 2015 annual reporting process. WSCUC staff continue to work with institutions to improve the accuracy of GRD data, and to learn and collaborate on how this new method can be used to understand and support the effectiveness of student success efforts.
