The US Department of Education notifies educational institutions of their official cohort default rates in September of each year. The CDR reflects the percentage of students who entered repayment on federal student loans during the reported fiscal year who also defaulted within three years.
Bellin College’s official Cohort Default Rate (CDR) may be viewed on the US Department of Education’s CDR database at: https://nsldsfap.ed.gov/cdr-searchable-database/school/search. The national average CDR is available at: https://fsapartners.ed.gov/sites/default/files/2022-09/NationalCDR.PYComparisonCharts.pdf
Should Bellin College’s Official CDR exceed the national average CDR for the given fiscal year, Bellin College will publish a statement on the College’s public-facing website informing all students and stakeholders. Also, all students will be sent an e-mail notification which will include a direct link to the online disclosure as well as information to assist students with loan repayment options.
