Notes on this filing
  • Filing is private nonprofit, so public tuition fields (in-state/out-of-state) are null; tuition is a single rate.
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No; all waitlist counts left blank.
  • C1: applied, admitted and enrolled totals are printed directly (2629, 2239, 381); the gender-level enrollee cells are not totaled separately.
  • C3-C5: admission requires diploma with GED accepted; college-prep program recommended; 17 total units recommended, but no required units printed.
  • C8A/C8F: SAT/ACT not considered for admission; C8F is blank, so the test policy summary relies on C8A and C8G alone. C9 test score distribution is blank.
  • C11: the 1.0-1.99 and below-1.0 bands are blank; pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the printed bands 3.25-3.49, 3.00-3.24, 2.50-2.99 and 2.0-2.49 (15.87+12.43+5.29+0.78).
  • B4-B21: the most recent bachelor's cohort is Fall 2018. Six-year rate 70.46 is printed (line H). The four-year rate is not printed (179 completers of 325 in cohort), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • H2: pct_need_fully_met is computed as line h (99) divided by line d (313), using the first-time first-year column. Line d counts any financial aid, not need-based only.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed, so it is null.
  • H1: aid is reported as 2024-25 estimated.
  • Section H aid and G1 costs use the 2024-25 and 2025-26 cycles as printed; G1 is the 2025-26 cost of attendance.
