Consumer Information


Federal law requires colleges and universities to make information available to prospective students, including the cost of college attendance, accreditation status, graduation and retention information, safety and security reports, and institutional policies and procedures that focus on student enrollment.  That mandate, along with our mission and commitment to clear and transparent communication, is what drives our website and, in particular, this page, on which you can find links to the aforementioned important information, along with other useful resources.

General Student Information

“In accordance with Federal law, specifically Section 111 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005 (Public Law 108-447), all educational institutions receiving Federal funding for a fiscal year are required to provide an educational program on the United States Constitution for their students on or around September 17 annually. At Holy Cross College, the Politics and Public Service Program coordinates this annual programming offered to our campus community. This event serves to further the mission of Holy Cross College in forming scholars and citizens with a deep knowledge of the American constitutional order and a reflective awareness of the development and legacy of American government to the present day. The program of Politics and Public Service particularly aims to cultivate conscientious citizens equipped with a critical understanding of politics and committed to serving the common good through civil discourse and public engagement. Students moreover become stronger scholars of political and legal history; and leaders familiar with decision–making processes at the international and national levels. The annual Constitution Day lecture plays an important role in furthering all of these goals.”   

Student Outcomes

The Graduation Rate at Holy Cross College is 77%.  Of our graduates, 95% complete their degree in four years or less.  The current first to second year retention rate is 77%.

Because of our unique relationship with the University of Notre Dame, in which many students who begin at Holy Cross graduate from Notre Dame, often our retention and graduation rates are often under-estimated by sources calculating them, such as College Navigator.

May 2026 placement rate in jobs and graduate school: 94 percent.
