What the repayment figure means

Repayment figures are not published for this institution.

The Department of Education stopped publishing default rates — every institution now reports zero — so the honest measure left is the declining-balance rate: the share of borrowers whose balance is lower three years after they left than the day they started repaying. A borrower can be in good standing and still owe more than they started with, through interest on a paused or income-driven plan; this figure counts only those actually reducing the debt.
