Notes on this filing
  • C1/C2 first-time first-year totals: applied 13589, admitted 10866 and enrolled 3775 are the printed totals; they match the sex-based sums.
  • C2: waitlist policy answered No, so the waitlist counts are left null.
  • C3-C7: the C7 factor checkboxes appear unchecked in the filing, so all factors are null.
  • C8A/C8F: C8A marks SAT or ACT as 'not required, but consider if submitted'; C8F is blank. Policy summarized from C8A alone.
  • C9: printed 54% submitting SAT (2,077 students) and 8% submitting ACT (289); 2,077 of 3,775 enrollees is about 55%, so the printed percentage was used.
  • B22 retention: the printed value is 76.4 (2,705 of 3,541), though the box shows 76.
  • Grad rates: the 6-year rate (53.93) is printed for the Fall 2019 cohort. The 4-year rate is not printed; the count is 941 completers of 2,544 final cohort, but no rate was stated, so it is null.
  • H2 line I (avg % of need met) is blank for first-time first-year; the 0.00 in the all-full-time-undergraduate column looks like a placeholder, so it is not used.
  • H2 pct_need_fully_met computed as line h (610) / line d (2,273) = 26.8%. pct_with_need_awarded_aid not printed, so null.
  • H1/H2 use the 2024-25 final academic year per the form.
  • G1: public institution with in-district and in-state tuition both $11,585; out-of-state and nonresident both $34,734. Figures are first-year column.
  • Dates and dual enrollment: no further issues identified.
