How it's calculated
Grad year = fall year + grades left + gap years
fall year = current school-year start, grades left = 12 − current grade level, gap years = planned breaks. Bachelor = HS + 4 yr, Associate = HS + 2 yr.
Common questions
What year will a current 9th grader graduate?
A 9th grader has four years of high school left, so they finish in the spring four academic years out. The calculator pins the exact year for your start month.
How long after high school is a bachelor's degree?
Four years is the standard full-time track, so a typical student graduates college four years after their high school class year.
