Notes on this filing

C1: applicant, admit and enrollee totals were not printed; summed from the gender/category rows (applied 478+1294+13=1785; admitted 414+1072+12=1498; enrolled 64+4+155+6=229). These match the residency table totals.
C2: waitlist policy marked No and all waitlist counts are blank.
C21/C22: early decision and early action both marked No.
C8A: the Recommended box is checked for all three rows (SAT or ACT, ACT only, SAT only), which conflicts with C8F's test-optional description. C8F was used for the policy. C8A applies to Fall 2026, and C8E gives an 8/1/2024 deadline.
C9/C10/C11: the SAT and ACT percentile ranges and high school class rank tables were not used.
B4-B21: the Fall 2018 cohort is used for the six-year rate (0.771331058 converted to 77.13). The four-year rate is not printed, so it is null (the cohort's four-year count of 189 of 293 was not converted).
B22: retention rate 86.13% as printed.
H2: pct_need_fully_met computed as line H (30) / line D (202) = 14.9%. pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so it is null.
H2 line A (242 first-time full-time first-year) does not match the B1/B2 first-time full-time count (63+150=213). Source of the difference is not stated.
G1: private tuition $51,316; required fees $845; food and housing $16,191 (first-year column). No in-state or out-of-state split applies.
The CDS filing states 'Dominican University of California' with a '2024-2025' label; year is recorded as 2024-25 (Fall 2024 admissions data).
