Notes on this filing
  • Year labeled 2024-25 from the filing title; cost figures (G1) are for 2025-26 and aid (H1/H2) is 2023-24 final.
  • C1 applicant, admit and enrollee totals are the sums of the gender rows (2075, 1517, 211); C1 enrollee total matches B1 and B2.
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No, so the waitlist table is blank and left null.
  • C3-C5: GED accepted; recommended college-prep program; recommended unit counts only (English 4, math 3, science 2, language 2, social studies 2, visual/performing arts 2).
  • C9: SAT submitters 23% (49 students), ACT submitters 9% (20 students); ACT percentile figures are reported as printed.
  • C10/C11: class rank and GPA percentages are for all enrolled first-time students; GPA below 3.50 is the sum of the 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99, 2.0-2.49, 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands.
  • C17/C16: admission notifications on a rolling basis from Nov 1 with reply due May 1; early action closes Nov 1 with no early action notification date printed; early action counts not reported; early decision not offered.
  • Early action (C22) is offered and nonrestrictive, but no applied or admitted counts are given.
  • B4-B21: 6-year rate of 69% (187/271) is printed in the filing. The 4-year completion count is 175 of 271 but no 4-year rate is printed, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • B1 gives 211 first-time first-year students, while H2 line a gives 202 for the same cohort; the H2 figure was used as printed.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed (line d/line c = 171/171 = 100%, but not reported as a percent), so left null. pct_need_fully_met is computed as H2 line h (44) / line d (171) = 25.7%. avg_pct_need_met is row I (88). avg_need_based_package is row J's average financial aid package (46,475). avg_need_based_grant is row K (41,662).
  • Test policy: C8F says the institution accepts the best score on each section; this is consistent with C8A.
