It's because of the students. I can't imagine it's really THAT low (the EP Times isn't always very credible) but a lot of students do end up leaving, getting married, have kids and then come back later. Or many students go for a year or so and then transfer. We have a lot of non-traditional students.
They only calculate graduation rates for the "first time" college students. The ones that come straight out of HS, start at UTEP and then graduate in 4/5 years.

You haven't figured it out yet? lol. Cause of the Mexican accent, people end up adding that j sound at the beginning. So "EL UTEP" becomes "El JUTEP" lol
