Notes on this filing
  • C1: Applied, admitted and enrolled totals are sums of the male, female and unknown rows (no total printed); enrolled 350 matches B1 first-time first-year total.
  • C2/waitlist: waitlist policy answered No and the waitlist table is blank, so waitlist counts are null.
  • C8A/C8F: C8A checkboxes say SAT/ACT are 'not required, but considered if submitted', while C8F says scores are considered only if the student requests they be used. Trusting C8F, the policy is recorded as test-optional with this inconsistency noted.
  • C21: early decision answered No; C22: early action is offered but applied and admitted counts are blank.
  • Grad rate 4-year: the filing does not print a 4-year rate for the 2019 cohort, so it is left null. The grid gives 231 of 377 completing within four years (about 61%), but this was not computed.
  • 6-year graduation rate of 66% is as printed in B6 line H (Fall 2019 cohort, total column).
  • G1: food and housing (on-campus) is blank; housing only ($6,124) and food only ($8,822) are printed separately, so room_and_board is left null rather than summed.
  • H1/H2/H2A: the aid award tables are blank, so aid fields are null; the pct_need_fully_met calculation could not be made because no counts were printed.
  • Retention: B22 reports 283 of 355 (79.72%), matching the printed rate.
