CCR Data and Transparency Quiz

If a state has made data available from the two most recent graduating cohort years (2014-15 and 2015-16), they earned points for this category. Any data older than two years did not earn points for timeliness. Postsecondary indicators have a longer lag time in reporting and a different definition of timeliness. For the full details on this and other point-awarding criteria, see the transparency report methodology.
