Remington College-Lafayette Campus
Private Community College in Lafayette, LA. Six-year graduation rate 42%. Median 10-year earnings $31,349.
Ten-year median earnings of $31,349 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. The six-year graduation rate is 42%, meaning about three in five students who start do not finish. Graduates leave owing a median of $13,271 — modest by four-year standards.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
42% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. 58% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 247 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $29,592 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($29,259 versus $32,378), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 70% of students at an average of $5,615. 53% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
