What should states do to ensure that statewide average pass rates are based on all program completers in a state who take a state-required assessment for licensure or certification?
States need to inform all their institutions of higher education (IHEs) that the calculation of required statewide average pass rates requires that the test results of all program completers be used. Statewide averages are used in both institutional and state reports. Consequently, all IHEs must submit the names of all of their program completers to the state or testing agency to ensure that the test results of any of them appear in the statewide average pass rates.
