Disclosure of Institutional Cohort Default Rates
Rockhurst University is pleased to provide the following information regarding our institution's cohort default rate for federal student loans. A cohort default rate is based on the percentage of a school's borrowers who enter repayment on Federal Direct loans during a federal fiscal year (October 1–September 30) and default before the end of the second following fiscal year.
Every year, the U.S. Department of Education calculates a default rate for post-secondary schools that participate in federal student aid programs.
On average, 43.8% of Rockhurst University students borrow a federal student loan. Rockhurst continues to have low cohort default rates.
Fiscal Year | National Rate | Rockhurst University |
FY2022* | 0.0% | 0.0% |
FY2021 | 0.0% | 0.0% |
FY2020 | 0.0% | 0.0% |

*For the past three years, the national cohort default rate (CDR) for federal student loans that entered repayment in fiscal year (FY) 2022 remains at 0.0% continuing to reflect the payment pause as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
