Explanation: Graduation rate data first became available from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) for FY 2003. 4-year data for 2003-04 (which had been erroneously placed in FY 2003) was used to establish the baseline. 2-year data were recomputed. This data replaces previously reported data that was not as accurate.
 
Objective 4 of 4: Maintain or improve the efficiency of service delivery to TCCU students.
Indicator 4.1 of 1: Efficency measure: Cost per successful program outcome.
 
Measure 4.1.1 of 1: Federal cost per successful undergraduate enrollment at TCCU institutions.

Explanation: The calculation is the appropriation for the Strengthening TCCU program divided by the number of undergraduate enrollments. The $12,386 cost for the 2003-04 value reflects an appropriation of $23.3 million divided by 1,880 graduates. A majority of the funds appropriated for this program are used for construction.
