UConn's Fiscal Year is July 1 - June 30. Each of these KPIs will be reported by Fiscal Year unless otherwise noted.

Undergraduate 6-year Graduation Rate (U.S. News)

Increasing the six-year graduation rate is critical to UConn’s commitment to student success, affordability, and national leadership. Graduating on time reduces student debt, improves career outcomes, and strengthens lifetime earnings. While UConn’s six-year graduation rate is already well above the national average of 63%, the university remains committed to further improving student outcomes and ensuring that more students graduate on time, ready to lead and thrive.

The dark blue line below represents UConn's actual 6-year undergraduate rate for the past five years (hovering between 83% and 84%), while the light blue represents the university's aspirations of achieving a 90% 6-year graduation rate by 2030.

The first year of reporting on this KPI after the implementation of the plan is Fiscal Year 2025 (July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025). Results will be published in September 2025.
