Percent of Bachelor's Degrees Without Excess Hours
Percent of Bachelor's Degrees Without Excess Hours report provides information on the percentage of baccalaureate degrees awarded within 110% of the credit hours required for a degree based on the Board of Governors Academic Program Inventory. This metric excludes the following types of student credits: accelerated mechanisms, remedial coursework, non-native credit hours that are not used toward the degree, non-native credit hours from failed, incomplete, withdrawn, or repeated courses, credit hours from internship programs, credit hours up to 10 foreign language credit hours, and credit hours earned in military science courses that are part of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program. Starting in 2018-19, the calculation for this metric included a new type of statutory exclusion of up to 12 credit hours for students who graduated in four years or less. This metric does not report the number of students who paid the “Excess Hour Surcharge” (Section 1009.286, Florida Statutes).
The Hours to Degree (HTD) file only includes single‐major bachelor’s degree recipients who were awarded a bachelor’s for the first time during the academic year (summer, fall, and spring terms). The file is submitted to BOG in mid Nov.
