Abstract
Abstract In response to a state mandate to consider time‐to‐degree, a transcript analysis was performed on BSEE graduates at Ohio University to determine the time it took them to obtain their degree. It was found that the average student took 5.15 years and 15.6 quarters to graduate. Major causes of students taking more than four years were failing, withdrawing from, and repeating courses, enrolling in an insufficient number of hours per quarter, and taking free electives. Also, it was found that hours lost when transferring institutions and changing majors, taking English as a second language (ESL) courses, and stopping out delayed some students. Students in the top quartile of GPA finished significantly sooner than other students while students with non‐ESL remedial courses and students who participated in cooperative education were not delayed. Implications of these findings for Ohio University and other programs are discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
