Its overall six-year graduation rate stands at 56%, with a four-year rate notably lower at 42%. Both figures reflect an average performance, ranking near the 48th and 48th percentiles respectively, indicating that the university graduates fewer students on time compared to many peers.

The six-year graduation rate for women is 61%, whereas men graduate at a rate of 47%. These rates also fall into the lower percentiles nationally, with women around the 49th percentile and men near the 40th percentile. This suggests that female students have a better likelihood of completing their studies within six years compared to male students at this institution.

The institution's retention rate, which measures the percentage of first-time students who continue beyond their first year, is 72%. This retention figure places University of Mobile below the national average, residing near the 40th percentile. Retention rates often correlate with graduation rates, and this comparatively moderate retention could contribute to the university's overall completion statistics.
