Academic Success Rate

In keeping with its mission, the college compiles academic success rates using both graduating students and students who successfully transfer to their chosen institutions. The graduation rate used is 150% of the standard time or three years since first enrolling at the college. The transfer-out rate would consider anyone who had transferred within three years of enrollment. For example, the academic success rate for 2012 represents students who had enrolled in 2009.

Dean and Honor's Lists

The college legitimately seeks to stimulate and reward exceptional achievements in all worthy lines of student endeavor; therefore, the academic dean and the registrar issue two honor lists to recognize these achievements. Each semester the college recognizes full-time students with a GPA of 3.50 to 4.00 by placing them on the Dean's List and students with a GPA of 3.00 to 3.49 by placing them on the Honor List.

SAT and ACT Scores

Louisburg College requires SAT or ACT scores for first-time students seeking an associate degree. The college reports both 25th and 75th percentile scores to IPEDS. Please note that the 2017 IPEDS began to require the submission of “new” SAT scores using a 2400 range. The “old” version used a 1600 range. The college accepted both new and old SAT scores from its students and used conversion charts.

The admissions department does not require SAT writing scores; therefore, they omitted “old” SAT scores without the writing scores from the comprehensive report to IPEDS, as well as the calculation for the 75th percentile below. In other words, the SAT score 2017 forward will be slightly different from 2016 prior. For information on SAT conversions between the “old” and “new” SAT scores, please review the College Board's Concordance Tables.

To adequately display this on the graph below, dotted lines instead of solid the college used from 2016 to 2017.

Course Completion

Louisburg College tracks successful completion rates by assessing courses where grades of A, B, C, D*, RA, RB, RC, and RP are earned ("R" indicates Remedial). The College utilizes a 10-point grading scale.

*Note: While the college counts some Ds as “successful” when graduating, courses with D’s will not be transferrable, as many institutions do not accept them. To represent the data in the graph below relatively, the college omitted its courses requiring a C or higher for graduation that have Ds.  In other words, for the following years and college courses, the college did not count Ds as a success toward the course completion rate.

2010-2012:  ENG 111, ENG 112, ENG 230, MAT 105

2013:  ENG 111, ENG 112, ENG 230, MAT 104, MAT 105

2014-2017:  ACA 122, ENG 111, ENG 112, MAT 171
