At 2-year institutions, counts are degrees, i.e. a single student that received a certificate as well as an Associates is counted twice. The Graduation Rate of transfers only includes degrees attained by transfers at Colorado institutions reporting to SURDS. Transfers to private schools that don't report to SURDS or out of state are not included. For two-year transfers, the rate only includes those that attained an associate degree or certificate after transfer, at Colorado institutions reporting to SURDS.
