The SAM Full-time Bachelor's Degree model tracks a group of students who started a bachelor's degree program at Governors State University in the Fall of 2016. The students' progress toward a degree is reported within 4, 5, and 6 years. The same group of students is included in the results for every year.

The sections of the SAM chart represent the proportion of students in the original group with the following five outcomes.

(This section of the chart Within 6 Years is approximately the same as the federal graduation rate, but it may differ slightly for each institution.)
  • Students who started at Governors State University and then transferred to and graduated from another institution are represented by the lighter purple bar with the white stripe underneath ()
  • Students who started at and are still enrolled at Governors State University are represented by the darker aqua bar with two white stripes underneath ().
  • Students who started at Governors State University and then transferred to and are still enrolled at another institution are represented by the lighter aqua bar with the bottom white stripe ().
