* By definition of the National Center for Education Statistics for Graduation Rate, the student is allowed 150% of the normal time allotted to complete the degree; that is, a student seeking a (4-year) bachelors degree is allowed 6 years for completion.

# A Scholarship Athlete is defined as any intercollegiate athlete receiving institutional monies.

** Union closed the Tennis programs and facilitated the transfer of players if they chose; we do not have their graduation status to consider in this report.

As shown by the information above, >50% of the freshmen entering Union University will graduate or complete their prescribed pre-professional program from Union University. Union University does not formally track graduation of students who transfer to other bachelors programs so very few are included by personal information.
