The Student Right-to-Know Act was enacted in 1990 by federal law. The law requires institutions that receive Title IV HEA student financial aid to collect, report and/or disclose graduation rates and campus security reports to current and prospective students. It is a federal mandate designed to help enrolled and prospective students make informed decisions. Click on the links below to view Graduation Rate and Graduate Placement Rate.
Graduation and Placement Rates
Every postsecondary education institution is required by law to disclose its graduation rates annually. For the 2004 cohort, the graduation rate for Savannah Technical College was 42.9% within 150% of normal time of completion. This graduation rate includes both full and part-time students.
Students attend technical colleges for a variety of reasons. While many attend with the intention of completing a program of study, others may desire only to upgrade their skills to a point sufficient for initial employment or promotion. In 2006, the job placement rate at Savannah Technical College was 87.9%.
Georgia's strong economy and the demand for qualified employers place a high premium on the skills possessed by technical institute/college students. This demand results in an increasingly high number of students being hired prior to graduation.
The Clery Act
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, as a part of the Higher Education Act of 1965, is a federal law that requires colleges and universities to disclose certain timely and annual information about campus crime and security policies. All public and private institutions of postsecondary education participating in federal student aid programs are subject to it. To view crime statistics for STC, click on the link below.
