San Francisco State University is pleased to provide the following information regarding our institution's graduation rates. The information is provided in compliance with the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990). The rates reflect the graduation/completion status of students who enrolled during the 2002-2003 school year and for whom 150% of the normal time-to-completion has elapsed.

During the Fall of 2002, 2,131 first-time, full-time, degree-seeking freshmen entered San Francisco State University. After 6 years (as of August 31, 2008), 43.7% of these students had graduated from our university. An additional 10% were still enrolled in Fall 2008 and pursuing their degrees at the university.


While reviewing this information, please bear in mind:

The graduation/completion rate is based on 6 years of attendance that equates to 150% of our longest program.

This one-page summary is for public information as required by federal law. The intent is to present the required information in the context in which it should be considered.
