Approved Program Sequence Code (APS)

2014 OSAP Default Rates

 

The "OSAP Loan Default Rates" reflect the repayment status of students who were issued Ontario Student Loans in 2010-2011 academic year and did not receive an Ontario Student Loan in 2011-2012, and who defaulted on their repayment obligations approximately two years after leaving the institution. Student loan recipients/defaulters are, for the purpose of calculating default rates, assigned to the last institution/program they attended in 2010-2011. The status of these loans was assessed as of July 2013 or about two years after entering into repayment.

An Ontario Student Loan is in default when the Ontario government has paid the bank's claim for an inactive loan. A loan is inactive when no payments were made by the student for at least 90 days. Responsibility for recovery of defaulted accounts was transferred to private collection agencies in January 1999.

The 2013 default rate average for all programs at Seneca College is 10.6%. This compares to 13.2% for all programs at Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology. Approximately 62.4% of Seneca College students apply for OSAP.

2013 - 2014 Graduate Employment Rates

 

The "Graduate Employment Rates" provides data on the 2012-2013 Seneca College graduates, by program, based on graduate surveys undertaken in 2013.

At Seneca College, the average graduate employment rate has reached 78.0%!

For Employment Profile of college graduates, go to

2013 - 2014 Graduation Rate

 

For the 2013-2014 reporting year, graduation rate calculation is based on information collected as of 2012-2013 measurement year.

Individual student tracking methodology is used to capture student entry date, transfers in and out of a program, and the program of study the student graduates from within the program completion time frame. The calculation for each program is:

(program graduates * 100) / (program entrants + transferin students - transferout students)

The program completion time frame refers to the maximum total calendar time allowed for completing a program, in order to be counted as a graduate in the graduation rate calculation. The completion time frame equals approximately 200% of the normal program duration. A student who graduates after the allowed completion time frame, is not counted as a graduate.

It excludes:

  • students who find employment in their area of study before completing final credits and often return as part-time students, extending the period of study required before they are eligible to graduate;
  • students who undertake additional studies toward graduation (i.e. the large new immigrant population in the Seneca College northern GTA catchment area who achieve Seneca exit standards by participating in extra remedial English classes);
  • students who interrupt their studies as a result of family responsibilities; for temporary employment to earn tuition funds; or other personal reasons, many returning at a later date to full or part-time study;
  • students who transfer to another college or university.
