Source: Three-year Official Cohort Default Rates for Schools by US Dept of Education for 2011 by FY Published Sept. 2014

Historically Harrison College’s cohort default rates have been below the proprietary school average, as well as national and Indiana state averages. However, with the elimination of the William D. Ford Federal Education Loan Program (“FFELP”), under which private lenders were backed by guaranty agencies who provided significant default prevention services (along with Stafford Loan origination and servicing), cohort default rates rose across all sectors of higher education. In addition to the elimination of the FFELP program, the national credit crisis resulted in less capital being available to lend to students. As a result, the U.S. government authorized the private lenders, who held significant student loan portfolios, to put a significant amount of their recent student loan issuances back to the U.S. government. These loans were transferred to the U.S. government’s sole Direct Loan servicer, who was unable to provide the same level of loan servicing or guarantor default prevention services.

As a result of this poor loan servicing during this period, and the cessation of default prevention services, Harrison’s cohort default rates began to climb, along with the rest of the higher education sector. In late 2012, Harrison recognized this issue and began to aggressively work with our former students to enter into alternative repayment arrangements and other federally-approved forms of relief. Harrison has also partnered with a nationally-recognized default prevention assistance partner to help with contacting and working with our former students to identify their best repayment options. As a result, Harrison is projecting a decrease in its 2012 rate from 23.1% to 17.2%. Additionally, Harrison is projecting that its 2013 rate will be approximately 14%.

School of Business School of Criminal Justice School of Health Sciences The Chef’s Academy

Only first-time, full-time degree, certificate and diploma seeking students are included in graduation rate calculations. Full-time students are enrolled in 12 or more credit hours. Students who began as part-time who later became full-time are not included in the graduation rate calculations. As of fall 2013, the only two-year granting campus at Harrison was the Morrisville, NC campus, which contains only The Chef’s Academy. This campus was not open in 2007 and thus did not have any first time, full-time students at this time. Cohorts were extremely small.
