Notes on this filing
  • C1: no applicant/admit/enrollee totals printed in the C1 gender tables. The totals used (3682 / 2861 / 279) come from the residency breakdown table. They match the gender sums, including unknown-gender students.
  • C2: the school reports no waitlist policy, so all waitlist counts are null.
  • C21: no early decision plan is offered.
  • C22: early action is offered with a closing date of 11/15. The notification date is blank, and EA applicant and admit counts are not reported.
  • C8A: the policy checkboxes refer to Fall 2026. C8F states 'Test scores are optional for applicants'.
  • B4-B11: the 4-year graduation rate is not printed (Fall 2018 cohort: 198 completed in 4 years out of 432), so grad_rate_4yr is null. The 6-year rate of 57.17 is as printed. The Fall 2017 cohort is all zeros.
  • G1: the page asks for 2024-2025 costs but the table text references the 2025-2026 year. The box saying 2025-26 costs are not yet available (until 7/1/2025) is checked, so the figures are presumably 2024-25. Room and board uses the food-and-housing figure (17190).
  • H2: the percent of students with need who were awarded aid is not printed (line c = 233, line d = 233), so it is left null. pct_need_fully_met = 38/233.
  • H2: the first-time, full-time first-year count on line a (331) does not match B1's full-time first-time count (274). H1/H2 figures are 2024-2025 estimates.
  • H7 page header reads 'Common Data Set 2023-2024', which may be a carryover from the prior year's form.
