UH has also been given the federal designations of Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPISI). These designations allow for expanded opportunities to apply for and receive grants that create educational opportunities and work to improve the educational outcomes for minority students. Full-Time Equivalent Enrollment 2. Fall semester credit hours (SCH) includes undergraduate(15), master's(12), doctoral(9), special-professional(12), and optometry(17). Fall 2000 Fall 2014 Fall 2015 % Change Fall 2015 Total FTSEs 24,659 33,217 34, % State-Funded FTSEs 24,579 32,745 34, % NOTE: The percentage change is based on the actual FTE numbers and may vary slightly from the calculation produced by the rounded numbers. Post-baccalaureate students are counted separately from master s for headcount enrollment and are counted with master s for FTE enrollment calculations. FTE enrollment at the University of Houston has increased by more than 40% since fall Furthermore, the percentage growth in FTE enrollment is greater than the percentage growth in headcount enrollment (33%). This suggests that students are averaging more courses per semester and that efforts by UH to encourage timely graduation are having a positive effect.

4 Participation - Out-of-State Peers Out-of-state peer data is from the Fall 2014 IPEDS report and may not match accountability data because of differences in the source of the data. Accountability measures are primarily derived from institutional data sent to the CB for CBM reports. Data reported on this out-of-state peer link is obtained from the IPEDS system of institutional reporting to the federal government. Data differences may result from different reporting periods and different definitions for the data elements.

Over the past several years we have implemented many new initiatives aimed at enhancing student persistence and reducing time to degree. Since FY 2000, significant improvements have been made in 4-year, 5-year and 6-year graduation rates. In fact, UH s 6-year graduation rate (at the same institution) reached a high of over 51% in, which is an 14 percentage point increase over FY Degrees and certificates awarded 10.

It is also important to recognize that the city of Houston is an excellent source of working professionals who can serve as adjuncts in a variety of fields (e.g., law, business, architecture, the arts). The expertise of these individuals greatly enhances the academic experience for students. Quality Enhancement Plan 37. Quality Enhancement Plan, Including Reaffirmation Year The Learning through Discovery Initiative is the University of Houston s comprehensive Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). The initiative promotes a teaching and learning culture supportive of research in all disciplines for all undergraduate students. It provides students with opportunities to enhance their research skills, including online tutorials for research writing and information science skills, as well as new courses that incorporate research. An annual QEP Curriculum Development Grant Program provides support to faculty for the development of new courses or for enhancement of existing courses with inquiry-based learning activities and research assignments. There are also expanded student research opportunities both on and off campus with opportunities to participate in research projects through mentored research or research internships. This experience will equip our students with the tools they need to compete in the global marketplace or as they pursue graduate studies. The five-year implementation period for the QEP as required by SACSCOC has now concluded, and the University of Houston is preparing to develop a new QEP. Excellent Programs 38. Excellent Programs Highlighted Excellent Programs 1 UHin4 Accountability System, January of 23

17 The UHin4 program forms a collaborative effort between the University and students to simplify the process for students to earn both a high quality and affordable education within four years. Offered to incoming freshmen each summer and fall, UHin4 makes resources available to students to help them identify and pursue a comprehensive graduation plan and to help them successfully navigate the college experience. These resources include four-year academic maps, degree progress tools, and a fixed tuition option to assist with planning and budgeting. Further, students who complete 30 semester credit hours each year receive fixed tuition for four years, a hallmark of the program. For more information about UHin4, please visit: Highlighted Excellent Programs 2 Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH (TCSUH) Applied Research Hub Based on original discoveries by TCSUH, scientists at the Applied Research Hub have developed superconducting wire that conducts electricity at much higher efficiency levels than traditional wire. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the transmission of electricity across the nation s power grid and create electric generators that will produce 50% more power at less than half the weight and size of conventional counterparts. Using the same manufacturing process, Applied Research Hub scientists are also developing electronic components (e.g., solar cells, sold state lighting) that are superior in performance to standard models and require less expensive materials to fabricate. These technologies hold enormous scientific and economic potential for UH and the state of Texas. If technologies being developed prove viable for large-scale use, the revenue and new jobs generated from their manufacture and sale will be transformative for both UH and the regional economy.
