## Summary

**Clear, time-based completion and graduation rates.** The Time for Completion Act would require colleges to disclose, for each program length and student type, the share of students who finish within four time thresholds: normal time, 150% of normal time, 200% of normal time, and 300% of normal time. - Students and families: Gives clearer, comparable completion data by student type and program length using the four time thresholds.
