  1. Graduation within 100% and 150% of time is defined as follows:
    • For the Hampton cohorts in the Nursing AAS program starting Fall Semester with NUR 104, 100% of time graduation is graduation by the end of the second academic year. For example, for the Fall 2012 entering cohort, 100% of time graduation would be graduation by May 2014; graduation in 150% of time would be graduation by May 2015.
    • For the Historic Triangle cohorts in the Nursing AAS program starting Spring Semester with NUR 104, 100% of time graduation is graduation by December of the third academic year of enrollment. For example, for the Spring 2012 entering cohort, 100% of time graduation would be graduation by December 2013; graduation in 150% of time would be graduation by December 2014.
    • For the Nursing AAS/LPN to RN Articulation Program cohorts starting in NUR 115 in Spring Semester at Hampton, completion in 100% of time is graduation by May of the following academic year. For example, for the entering Spring 2012 cohort, 100% of time graduation would be graduation by May 2013; graduation in 150% of time would be graduation by December 2013.
  2. Students in each entering cohort are limited to those who took the first‐semester nursing course (NUR 104 for the AAS, NUR 115 for the AAS/LPN‐to‐RN) for the first time. First time enrollment was verified by checking that the student was not enrolled in that course in either of the previous two years. For example, the students counted as part of the Fall 2012 AAS entering cohort who took NUR 104 in Fall 2012 were not enrolled in NUR 104 in between Fall 2010 and Spring 2012.
  3. No students were enrolled in NUR 115 in Spring 2014.
