Student Right to Know

In compliance with the Student Right-To-Know (SRTK) Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-542), it is the policy of our college district to make available its completion and transfer rates to all current and prospective students. Beginning in Fall 2019, a cohort of all certificate-, degree-, and transfer-seeking first-time, full-time students were tracked over a three year period. Their completion and transfer rates are listed above. These rates do not represent the success rates of the entire student population at the College nor do they account for student outcomes occurring after this three year tracking period.

A student is included in the Completion Rate if they attained a certificate or degree or became “transfer prepared” within the three-year period, from Fall 2019 to Spring 2022. Transfer-prepared is defined as having completed 60 transferable units with a GPA of 2.0 or better.

A student is included in the Transfer Rate if during a five semester period, from Spring 2020 to Spring 2022, they transferred to another postsecondary institution, prior to attaining a degree, certificate, or becoming "transfer-prepared."

The table below compares CC's Completion and Transfer Rates to the statewide community college average.

2019 SRTK Cohort Completion Rate Transfer Rate
CC 29.11% 12.03%
Statewide 34.28% 8.62%

These rates do not represent the completion and transfer rates of the entire student population at Cerro Coso Community College, nor do they account for student outcomes occurring after the three-year tracking period.
