2019-2020 Key Performance Indicators
The following table displays graduation and employment rates available as of 2020 for the University of Guelph.
Graduation Rates (Undergraduate)
Graduation rates are calculated by the MCU by following a single cohort to determine whether the students graduated within 7 years. The chosen cohort consists of first-time, full-time undergraduate students in their first year based on the official Fall 2011 enrolment file. The records of these students were matched against records of those who were awarded degrees from the University of Guelph from 2012 to 2018. These graduation rates are understated as students who have transferred to another institution are recorded as “not graduating”.
Employment Rates (Undergraduate)
Employment rates result from the Ontario University Graduate Survey (OUGS). In 2020, all 2017 graduates will be asked about their employment situation 6 months and 2 years after graduating.
OSAP Default Rates (Undergraduate and Graduate)
OSAP default rates are the percentage of students issued Canada-Ontario Integrated Student Loans (COISL) in 2017-18 who did not receive loans or grants through OSAP in 2018-19 and who defaulted on their repayment responsibilities as of July 2020. OSAP default rates are calculated by the MCU.
