STUDENT RIGHT-TO-KNOW INFORMATION
Southwestern Community College is committed to informing enrolled and prospective students about the probabilities of success in each program as well as current job market information. The United States Department of Education requires that each institution of higher education publish completion rates for individuals who entered as full-time students and who completed their curriculum programs within 1-1/2 times the time allowed for the program in the academic catalog. The average rate of persistence toward degree completion of students in each curriculum at SCC is available from the Registrar. The Career Center can provide current job market infor- mation and job-placement data for each academic program. Human Resources can provide campus crime statistics. All information is available at www.southwesterncc. edu.
