In compliance with the Student Right to Know Act, Waynesburg University provides the following graduation/completion rate information. Graduation rates are based on a cohort of full-time, first-time, bachelor degree-seeking students who enrolled at the institution during the fall term and for whom 150% of the normal time to completion has elapsed.
| Fall '14 | 57% |
| Fall '15 | 58% |
| Fall '16 | 58% |
| Fall '17 | 54% |
| Fall '18 | 53% |
- The cohort may be adjusted for the following reasons:
- Students who died or became permanently disabled
- Students who left school to serve in the armed forces (or have been called up to active duty)
- Students who left school to serve with a foreign aid service of the Federal Government
- Students who left school to serve on an official church mission
- Graduation rates do not include students who have transferred into the University from another institution.
- Providing substantial preparation for students to enroll in other institutions is not part of the University’s mission. Therefore, transfers-out is not reported.
