Student-Right-to-Know & Campus Security Act

Under the provisions of the Student-Right-To-Know & Campus Security Act, the College is required to compile and release to currently enrolled degree or certificate students and to prospective degree or certificate students upon request the following:

• Information on financial assistance, which is available in the Student Handbooks, the Financial Aid area of the College’s website, and upon request from the Financial Aid Office.
• The Crime Security component of the Act, also known as the Clery Act, requires Colleges to collect specified information about crimes and security on campus and to publish and distribute three years of data in an annual security report to current and prospective students/employees.  The College’s annual crime report is available on the College's Emergency Resources page or upon request from the Student Affairs Office.  
• Information on the College's graduation rate for full-time, degree or certificate-seeking students. Goddard College strives to recruit and admit students who will thrive and succeed in our academic programs.  The goal of the Admissions Office is to work with prospective students closely and provide them with information to assist them in making an informed enrollment decision.  Graduation and retention rates are a good measure of student satisfaction and success and Goddard is fortunate to enjoy above-average graduation and retention rates. Graduate students, which make up two-thirds of college enrollment, graduate at a rate of 84% and remain enrolled from first year to second year at a rate of 86%.  Undergraduate students graduate at a rate of 66% and remain enrollment from initial enrollment to second year at a rate of 68%.  If you have additional questions about graduation and retention figures, please feel free to contact the registrar, [email protected].
