Traditional Cleary University recognizes Traditional Students as students who are a student athlete, living on campus, starting classes within four years of graduating or finishing their high school program. Traditional students are always undergraduate students. Traditional students usually attend the University on a full-time basis. Non-Traditional Students Cleary University accepts the recommendation of the National Center of Education Statistics definition in regard to who a non-traditional student is. In that study, three separate metrics were utilized to determine student status: 1) enrollment patterns, 2) financial and family status, and 3) high school graduation status. Students who did not receive a standard high school diploma but who earned some type of certificate of completion were also considered non-traditional. This included GED recipients and those who received a high school certificate of completion. Students who have dependents other than a spouse, being a single parent, working full time while enrolled, or being financially independent from parents. Students who delayed enrollment in postsecondary education by four years or more after high school.

2025-2026 Overall Student Success Rate
85% of all students who were enrolled in Fall 2025 either graduated or were still active in Fall 2026.
