Federal institutional reporting lists Ottawa University-Online's overall graduation rate at 43%, with a four-year rate of 29% and a six-year rate of 43%. These figures describe defined student cohorts; they are not an individual student's probability of finishing.
Traditional IPEDS bachelor's graduation measures primarily follow first-time, full-time students from entry through specified time limits. That makes them an imperfect description of an online population that includes transfer and adult learners. The reported retention rate is 100%, but retention measures continued enrollment over a shorter interval and should not be confused with graduation. Students comparing schools should ask for completion information relevant to their own entry route, degree level, and enrollment pace.
College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings one year after completion for certain federally aided Ottawa University students. They are historical measures for groups of former students, not salary offers or predictions for new graduates.
These are field-level reported earnings figures; they should not be taken to isolate the effect of the degree or online instruction. Prior work experience, location, occupation, further education, and whether someone is working full time can all affect earnings. Because figures are not published for every field, the listed programs also should not be treated as a complete ranking of Ottawa University's degrees.
