Graduation Rates: The Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities has calculated graduation rates using a single entering cohort of students and determining whether or not they graduated within seven years. The methodology employed involves the selection of all new full-time, Year One undergraduate students on the official Fall 2000 enrolment file, who have a valid (and unique) student ID number, and were seeking either a bachelors or first professional degree. The subset was then matched against the records for students who received a degree (in any program) from the same institution during the most current seven-year period (2001 to 2007).

* Engineering students interested in specialties other than metallurgy and mining engineering (e.g., civil, mechanical, chemical engineering) had to transfer after two years to another university. Laurentian did not offer all four years of the program for several engineering specialties. Because of this arrangement and the methodology used by the Ministry, graduation rates for Laurentian's engineering programs are abnormally low.
