Time for Completion Act

This bill changes the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require more detailed reporting of college completion and graduation rates. Colleges' rates would be reported separately for first-time and returning students, and for full-time and part-time students. For programs of 4 years or longer, rates would be shown at the normal completion time, 150 percent of that time, and 200 percent of that time; programs shorter than 4 years would also report rates at 300 percent of the normal time. The Secretary of Education would have to display each rate in a consistent way with equal visibility, and colleges would have to give these rates to current and prospective students.
