1 Cover Image End of image description. NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS What Is IPEDS? The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of survey components that collects data from about 7,5 institutions that provide postsecondary education across the United States. IPEDS collects institution-level data on student enrollment, graduation rates, student charges, program completions, faculty, staff, and finances. These data are used at the federal and state level for policy analysis and development; at the institutional level for benchmarking and peer analysis; and by students and parents, through the College Navigator ( an online tool to aid in the college search process. For more information about IPEDS, see What Is the Purpose of This Report? The Data Feedback Report is intended to provide institutions a context for examining the data they submitted to IPEDS. The purpose of this report is to provide institutional executives a useful resource and to help improve the quality and comparability of IPEDS data. What Is in This Report? As suggested by the IPEDS Technical Review Panel, the figures in this report provide selected indicators for your institution and a comparison group of institutions. The figures are based on data collected during the IPEDS collection cycle and are the most recent data available. This report provides a list of pre-selected comparison group institutions and the criteria used for their selection. Additional information about these indicators and the preselected comparison group are provided in the Methodological Notes at the end of the report. Where Can I Do More with IPEDS Data? Each institution can access previous Data Feedback Reports as far back as 25 and customize this latest report by using a different comparison group and IPEDS variables of its choosing. To download archived reports or customize the current Data Feedback Report (DFR), please visit our web site at Norfolk, VA

2 COMPARISON GROUP Comparison group data are included to provide a context for interpreting your institution s statistics. If your institution did not define a custom comparison group for this report by July 17, NCES selected a comparison group for you. (In this case, the characteristics used to define the comparison group appears below.) The Customize Data Feedback Report functionality on the IPEDS Data Center ( can be used to reproduce the figures in this report using different peer groups. Using some of your institution's characteristics, a group of comparison institutions was selected for you. The characteristics include Carnegie Classification of Research Universities (high research activity), public and enrollment of a similar size. This comparison group includes the following 35 institutions: Auburn University (Auburn University, AL) Ball State University (Muncie, IN) Clemson University (Clemson, SC) Florida Atlantic University (Boca Raton, FL) Florida International University (Miami, FL) George Mason University (Fairfax, VA) Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis (Indianapolis, IN) Kansas State University (Manhattan, KS) Kent State University at Kent (Kent, OH) Miami University-Oxford (Oxford, OH) Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, AZ) Northern Illinois University (Dekalb, IL) Ohio University-Main Campus (Athens, OH) Oklahoma State University-Main Campus (Stillwater, OK) Portland State University (Portland, OR) San Diego State University (San Diego, CA) Southern Illinois University-Carbondale (Carbondale, IL) Temple University (Philadelphia, PA) Texas Tech University (Lubbock, TX) The University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa, AL) The University of Texas at Arlington (Arlington, TX) The University of Texas at Dallas (Richardson, TX) The University of Texas at El Paso (El Paso, TX) The University of Texas at San Antonio (San Antonio, TX) University of Akron Main Campus (Akron, OH) University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus (Denver, CO) University of Memphis (Memphis, TN) University of Mississippi (University, MS) University of Nevada-Las Vegas (Las Vegas, NV) University of North Texas (Denton, TX) University of Toledo (Toledo, OH) University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (Milwaukee, WI) Utah State University (Logan, UT) West Virginia University (Morgantown, WV) Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo, MI) The figures in this report have been organized and ordered into the following topic areas: 1) Admissions (only for non-open-admissions schools), 2) Student Enrollment, 3) Awards, 4) Charges and Net Price, 5) Student Financial Aid, 6) Military Benefits*, 7) Retention and Graduation Rates, 8) Finance, 9) Staff, and 1) Libraries*. *These figures only appear in customized Data Feedback Reports (DFR), which are available through Use the Data portal on the IPEDS website. 2

8 METHODOLOGICAL NOTES Overview This report is based on data supplied by institutions to IPEDS during the data collection year. Response rates exceeded 99% for most surveys. Detailed response tables are included in IPEDS First Look reports, which can be found at Use of Median Values for Comparison Group The value for the comparison institution is compared to the median value for the comparison group for each statistic included in the figure. If more than one statistic is presented in a figure, the median values are determined separately for each indicator or statistic. Medians are not reported for comparison groups with fewer than three values. Where percentage distributions are presented, median values may not add to 1%. To access all the data used to create the figures included in this report, go to Use the Data portal on the IPEDS website ( Missing Statistics If a statistic is not reported for your institution, the omission indicates that the statistic is not relevant to your institution and the data were not collected. Not all notes may be applicable to your report. Use of Imputed Data All IPEDS data are subject to imputation for total (institutional) and partial (item) nonresponse. If necessary, imputed values were used to prepare your report. Data Confidentiality IPEDS data are not collected under a pledge of confidentiality. Disaggregation of Data by Race/Ethnicity When applicable, some statistics are disaggregated by race/ethnicity. Data disaggregated by race/ethnicity have been reported using the 1997 Office of Management and Budget categories. Detailed information about the race/ethnicity categories can be found at Cohort Determination for Reporting Student Financial Aid and Graduation Rates Student cohorts for reporting Student Financial Aid and Graduation Rates data are based on the reporting type of the institution. For institutions that report based on an academic year (those operating on standard academic terms), student counts and cohorts are based on fall term data. Student counts and cohorts for program reporters (those that do not operate on standard academic terms) are based on unduplicated counts of students enrolled during a full 12-month period. Description of Statistics Used in the Figures Admissions and Test Score Data Admissions and test score data are presented only for institutions that do not have an open admission policy, and apply to first-time, degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students only. Applicants include only those students who fulfilled all requirements for consideration for admission and who were notified of one of the following actions: admission, non-admission, placement on a wait list, or application withdrawn (by applicant or institution). Admitted applicants (admissions) include wait-listed students who were subsequently offered admission. Early decision, early action, and students who began studies during the summer prior to the fall reporting period are included. For customized Data Feedback Reports, test scores are presented only if they are required for admission. Average Institutional Net Price Average net price is calculated for full-time, first-time degree/certificateseeking undergraduates who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from the federal government, state/local government, or the institution anytime during the full aid year. For public institutions, this includes only students who paid the in-state or in-district tuition rate. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state/local government, and institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books and supplies, and the average room and board and other expenses. For the purpose of the IPEDS reporting, aid received refers to financial aid that was awarded to, and accepted by, a student. This amount may differ from the aid amount that is disbursed to a student. Core Revenues Core revenues for public institutions reporting under GASB standards include tuition and fees; state and local appropriations; government grants and contracts; private gifts, grants, and contracts; sales and services of educational activities; investment income; other operating and nonoperating sources; and other revenues and additions (federal and capital appropriations and grants and additions to permanent endowments). Core revenues for private, not-for-profit institutions (and a small number of public institutions) reporting under FASB standards include tuition and fees; government appropriations (federal, state, and local); government grants and contracts; private gifts, grants, and contracts (including contributions from affiliated entities); investment return; sales and services of educational activities; and other sources. Core revenues for private, forprofit institutions reporting under FASB standards include tuition and fees; government appropriations, grants, and contracts (federal, state, and local); private grants and contracts; investment income; sales and services of educational activities; and other sources. At degree-granting institutions, core revenues exclude revenues from auxiliary enterprises (e.g., bookstores, dormitories), hospitals, and independent operations. Nondegree-granting institutions do no report revenue from auxiliary enterprises in a separate category. These amounts may be included in the core revenues from other sources. Core Expenses Core expenses include expenses for instruction, research, public service, academic support, institutional support, student services, scholarships and fellowships (net of discounts and allowances), and other expenses. Expenses for operation and maintenance of plant, depreciation, and interest are allocated to each of the other functions. Core expenses at degree-granting institutions exclude expenses for auxiliary enterprises (e.g., bookstores, dormitories), hospitals, and independent operations. Nondegree-granting institutions do not report expenses for auxiliary enterprises in a separate category. These amounts may be included in the core expenses as other expenses. 8

9 Equated Instructional Non-Medical Staff Salaries Institutions reported total salary outlays by academic rank and gender, and the number of staff by academic rank, contract length (9-, 1-, 11-, and 12- month contracts), and gender. The total number of months covered by salary outlays was calculated by multiplying the number of staff reported for each contract length period by the number of months of the contract, and summing across all contract length periods. The weighted average monthly salary for each academic rank and gender was calculated by dividing the total salary outlays by the total number of months covered. The weighted average monthly salary was then multiplied by 9 to determine an equated 9-month salary for each rank. FTE Enrollment The full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment used in this report is the sum of the institution s FTE undergraduate enrollment and FTE graduate enrollment (as calculated from or reported on the 12-month Enrollment component). Undergraduate and graduate FTE are estimated using 12- month instructional activity (credit and/or contact hours). See Calculation of FTE Students (using instructional activity) in the IPEDS Glossary at FTE Staff The full-time-equivalent (FTE) of staff is calculated by summing the total number of full-time staff and adding one-third of the total number of parttime staff. Graduate assistants are not included. Graduation Rates and Transfer-out Rate Total Entering Undergraduate Students Total entering students are students at the undergraduate level, both fulland part-time, new to the institution in the fall term (or the prior summer term who returned in the fall). This includes all first-time undergraduate students, students transferring into the institution at the undergraduate level, and non-degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates entering in the fall. Only degree-granting, academic year reporting institutions provide total entering student data. Tuition and Required Fees Tuition is defined as the amount of money charged to students for instructional services, and required fees are those fixed sum charges to students for items not covered by tuition that are required of such a large proportion of all students that the student who does not pay the charge is an exception. The amounts used in this report are for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates and are those used by the financial aid office to determine need. For institutions that have differential tuition rates for in-district or in-state students, the lowest tuition rate is used in the figure. Only institutions that operate on standard academic terms will have tuition figures included in their report. Additional Methodological Information Additional methodological information on the IPEDS components can be found in the publications available at Additional definitions of variables used in this report can be found in the IPEDS online glossary available at Graduation rates are those developed to satisfy the requirements of the Student Right-to-Know Act and Higher Education Act, as amended, and are defined as the total number of individuals from a given cohort of fulltime, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates who completed a degree or certificate within a given percent of normal time to complete all requirements of the degree or certificate program before the ending status date of August 31, 214; divided by the total number of students in the cohort of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates minus any allowable exclusions. Institutions are permitted to exclude from the cohort students who died or were totally and permanently disabled; those who left school to serve in the armed forces or were called up to active duty; those who left to serve with a foreign aid service of the federal government, such as the Peace Corps; and those who left to serve on an official church mission. Transfer-out rate is the total number of students from the cohort who are known to have transferred out of the reporting institution (without earning a degree/award) and subsequently re-enrolled at another institution within the same time period; divided by the same adjusted cohort (initial cohort minus allowable exclusions) as described above. Only institutions with a mission that includes providing substantial preparation for students to enroll in another eligible institution are required to report transfers out. Retention Rates Full-time retention rates is a measure of the rate at which students persist in their educational program at an institution, expressed as a percentage. For four-year institutions, this is the percentage of first-time bachelors (or equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduates from the previous fall who are again enrolled in the current fall. For all other institutions this is the percentage of first-time degree/certificate-seeking students from the previous fall who either re-enrolled or successfully completed their program by the current fall. The full-time retention rate is calculated using the percentage of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates, while the part-time rate is calculated using the percentage of part-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates. 9
