Under the Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act of 1990, Public Law 101-542, DACC is required to calculate (using a prescribed formula) and disclose graduation rates for all first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students who enrolled at DACC in Summer and Fall 2022. This cohort consists of 934 students. The number of graduates who earned either a certificate or an associate degree by Summer 2025 was 160 (17%). The four-year average, Student-Right-to-Know graduation rate was 17 percent.
Rates for previous cohorts after three years are as follows:
| Cohort | Rate |
|---|---|
| Fall 2021 Cohort | 19% |
| Fall 2020 Cohort | 16% |
| Fall 2019 Cohort | 17% |
The first-to-second retention rate for first-time, full-time DACC students from Fall 2023 to Fall 2024 was 63 percent.
