5 Placement Rate is calculated by dividing the number of graduates gainfully employed in the field by the number of graduates available for employment.
(f) License Examination Passage Rates. If license examination passage rates are not available from the appropriate state agency, an institution shall collect the information directly from its graduates. If an institution demonstrates that, after reasonable efforts, it is unable to obtain the examination passage information from its graduates, the institution shall report the number of students it could not contact and note in a font the same size as the majority of the data on the Performance Fact Sheet, "License examination passage data is not available from the state agency administering the examination. We were unable to collect data from [enter the number] graduates."
Reporting of license examination passage rates for the Annual Report and the Performance Fact Sheet shall include, for each educational program: the number of students completing the program within 150% of published program length in the reported year, the number of documented graduates who passed the first examination, number of documented graduates who failed the first examination, the number of graduates for whom data is not available. An optional column may be added to separately report licensing examination data for students who take and pass the exam after failing initially. The Annual Report shall also include a description of the processes for attempting to contact those students.
For licensing examinations that are not continuously administered, license examination passage rates shall be included in the Performance Fact Sheet in a format substantially similar to the chart below, including the footnoted information below (dates, numbers, and other data shown are for example only):
