It is required by the U.S. Department of Education that Florida Vocational Institute reports and discloses specific information about its school’s programs in a clear, prominent, user-friendly, and easily understood manner. The intent of the requirement is to enable students to make an informed choice about a program of study. To this end, Florida Vocational Institute will provide the following information:

3. Graduation Rate
Who is considered a completed student? Who is considered a graduate?

How are graduation rates calculated?
Graduation rates are calculated using the Student Right-to-Know formula in order to comply with U.S. Department of Education requirements. These statistics track all first-time, full-time diploma seeking students who began school during the start date range and reached program completion within the normal time period or normal program length. The graduation rate is the percentage of first-time, full-time students who have completed their program within the normal time period or normal program length.
*The Institution did not report any first-time full-time undergraduate students in the cohort year; therefore, graduation information was not reported via the IPEDS website.
4. Placement Rate
What is the placement rate for graduates of your institution?
Placement rates vary depending on the methods of compiling, calculating, and reporting of data by the regulatory agency or institution. Placement rates are intended to provide information on the number of students who have obtained employment in their field of study after graduation. The rates disclosed below reflect historical outcomes and should not be relied on by anyone as an implicit or explicit representation or promise of future outcomes or employability for any student following completion of a program of study at Florida Vocational Institute. Numerous individual and market factors affect a graduate’s ability to secure employment in his/her field or in a related field after graduation, and the institution has little or no control over many of these factors.
Therefore, Florida Vocational Institute cannot and does not guarantee employment or estimate the likelihood of securing employment upon graduation for any student.
The graduation and placement program data reported in the institution’s 2016 Annual Report filed with the Council on Occupational Education (COE) is for the reporting period of 7/1/2015 – 6/30/2016.
