The six-year graduation rate at Randolph-Macon College has wandered from Fall 1996 to Fall 2018 entering cohorts — up to 86.7% at the peak — but ends near where it began, at 70.5%.

A six-year rate can only describe a class that entered six or more years ago — by definition the last point on the line is that old.

Each point combines two years. Neighboring points share one year, so changes should be read with that overlap in mind.

These two-year windows closed before today's students borrowed — they describe past cohorts, not the current price of a degree.
