Notes on this filing
  • Year taken from the filing title (Common Data Set 2024-2025, fall 2024 enrollment).
  • C1/C2 totals: applied 9,134, admitted 7,052 and enrolled 1,284 are the printed residency-table totals and match the sums of the gender rows.
  • C2: waitlist policy is marked No and all waitlist counts are blank; left null.
  • C8A checkboxes are blank and C8F is empty, so the test policy is taken from C8 (No, scores not used in admission) and C8D/C8G. C8 conflicts with C7 (test scores 'Considered') and C9 (85% submitted ACT scores); flagged for review.
  • B4-B11: only the six-year graduation rate (52.44%, Fall 2018 cohort) is printed; the four-year rate is not printed and is left null.
  • G1: cost of attendance not yet available (checkbox marked, expected 1-Jul-25); the NPC URL is provided but no figures are printed, so all cost fields are null.
  • H2: first-time full-time column used. pct_need_fully_met = 348 / 915 = 38.0%. pct_with_need_awarded_aid left null because the filing does not print that percentage and the denominator is ambiguous (line c, line d, or line a).
  • H2 line i (avg % need met) is 73.0% and H2 line j (average package) is $16,095 for the first-time full-time column.
