Definitions Total enrollment - Total men and women enrolled for credit in the fall of the academic year. Credit - Recognition of attendance or performance in an instructional activity (course or program) that can be applied by a recipient toward the requirements for a degree, diploma, certificate, or other formal award. Enrollment reported is of the institution's official fall reporting date or October 15 Full-time equivalent enrollment - The full-time equivalent of the institution's part-time enrollment is estimated and then added to the full-time enrollment of the institution. This formula has been used to produce the full-time equivalent enrollment that is published annually in the Digest of Education Statistics. The full-time equivalent of part-time enrollment is estimated by multiplying the part-time enrollment by factors that vary by control and level of institution and level of student. The following factors were used: Part-time undergraduate enrollment (line 22) Public 4-year.403543 Not-for-profit and for-profit, 4-year.392857 Public 2-year and <2year.335737 All other sectors.397058 First professional (line 23) Public 4-year.600000 Not-for-profit and for-profit, 4-year.545454 Graduate (line 25) Public 4-year.361702 Not-for-profit and for-profit, 4-year.382059 These factors were estimated using reported full-time equivalent of part-time enrollments from enrollment data collected in the Higher Education General Information System (HEGIS) 1967-1986. FULL-TIME STUDENT - Undergraduate A student enrolled for 12 or more semester credits, or 12 or more quarter credits, or 24 or more contact hours a week each term.

It includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, and other off campus (with family) expenses. 8

Full-time retention rate - The full-time retention rate is the percent of the (fall full-time cohort from the prior year minus exclusions from the fall full-time cohort) that re-enrolled at the institution as either full- or part-time in the current year Part-time retention rate - The part-time retention rate is the percent of the (fall part-time cohort from the prior year minus exclusions from the fall part-time cohort) that re-enrolled at the institution as either full- or part-time in the current year Current year GRS cohort as a percent of entering class - Percent of entering class represented by your current year GRS cohort. Full-time, first-time, degree/certificate seeking undergraduates (GRS Cohort) as percent of all undergraduates. This variable is derived from the enrollment component that is collected in the winter and spring surveys. Full-time, first-time, degree/certificate seeking undergraduates (GRS Cohort) as percent of all undergraduates This variable is derived by dividing full-time, first-time, degree/certificate seeking undergraduates and dividing by all undergraduates. The ratio is then multiplied by 100 and rounded to the nearest whole number. Full-time first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates enrolled for credit.

Undergraduate and graduate FTE are estimated using 12-month 9

instructional activity (credit and/or contact hours). The calculation of FTE undergraduate and graduates is as follows: For institutions with a Semester/trimester/4-1-4 plan/other academic year calendar system, one undergraduate FTE over 12-month period is equivalent to 30 credit hours or 900 contact hours. Graduation rate of first-time, full-time degree or certificate-seeking students - 2006 cohort (less-than-4- year institutions) - The graduation rate is the rate required for disclosure and/or reporting purposes under Student Right-to-Know. This rate is calculated as the total number of completers within 150% of normal time divided by the revised cohort minus any allowable exclusions. For 2-year institutions the adjusted cohort is defined by the variable GRTOTLT when GRTYPE=29 and the total completers within 150% of normal time is GRTOTLT when GRTYPE=30 (Table gr2009). Normal time to completion - The amount of time necessary for a student to complete all requirements for a degree or certificate according to the institution's catalog.
