Student loan default rate
The share of student borrowers who default on federal loans within three years, against the national benchmark.
Of 549 borrowers who entered repayment, 9 (1.6%) defaulted within three years — below the 2.3% national rate.
Default rate vs national, by cohort
* Cohorts 2020 and later read near 0% because the federal COVID-19 payment pause (CARES Act) suspended defaults nationwide. These years reflect a national policy, not institutional performance; the 2019 cohort is the last measured under normal repayment.
