Graduation, debt and earnings cover different groups. Read each chart's entering class or fiscal period; they are not one group's journey.
The share of first-time, full-time bachelor's entrants who completed at this institution within six years. Other students are not included.
The six-year graduation rate at University of Florida-Online rose from 75% (entered 2014) to 84.7% (entered 2018).

Median debt at exit (completers vs non-completers)

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