Notes on this filing
  • Enrollment: C1 female first-time enrolled sums to 967 (full-time 676 + part-time 290 = 966), so the total enrolled is 1542 by sex but 1541 by status and residency; 1542 used.
  • C2: the school has no waitlist (policy answered No), so waitlist counts are left null.
  • C8F clarification is blank; the test policy summary is built from C8A (SAT or ACT marked Recommended) and C8G placement tests.
  • C9/C11: GPA bands use the 'Percent (All enrolled students)' column. Bands sum to 99.99% due to rounding; pct_below_3_50 is the sum of the bands from 3.25 down (17.22+10.08+5.71+0.16+0+6.43).
  • B22: retention reported as 78.00%; 952/1220 computes to 78.03%. The printed value is used.
  • B4-B11 graduation grid: the Fall 2019 cohort is used. The printed six-year rate is 0.47137637 (shown as 47.137637). The four-year rate is not printed and is left null.
  • H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and is left null; pct_need_fully_met is computed as 57/930 from the first-time, full-time first-year column.
  • G1: costs are for 2026-2027 (not 2025-26) and are taken from the first-year column. Public institution, so in-state and out-of-state tuition are filled and tuition is null.
  • H2 avg_need_based_grant uses line K (need-based scholarship and grant award of those in line e).
