Notes on this filing
  • Filing header reads 2024-2025 but content is Fall 2025 data (2025-26 year); CDS welcome page references 2025-2026.
  • C1: enrolled by sex (731 + 831 = 1,562) does not match the residency enrolled total and the full/part-time status rows (1,544); 1,562 used, discrepancy unresolved.
  • C2: no waitlist policy (answered No); all waitlist counts left null.
  • C8A: SAT/ACT check is in the 'Required for some' column while ACT Only and SAT Only rows are marked in 'Not considered'; C8F clarification is blank. Policy summarized from C8A and C9 data.
  • C8F: clarification field is empty.
  • C9: SAT and ACT submission percentages are 51% and 60% of first-time first-year enrollees; SAT math and ERW percentile bands are provided but not used in extraction.
  • B4-B11 (Fall 2019 cohort): 6-year graduation rate taken from printed line H (0.6132), converted to 61.32. No 4-year rate is printed, so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • B22: retention 89.00% printed; 1,080 of 1,213 entering students retained.
  • G1: public institution; in-district and in-state tuition are both $4,319, out-of-state $16,587. Required fees $2,041 and food and housing $12,702 are first-year figures.
  • H2: first-time full-time first-year column used. Printed line for need-based aid applicants (line b) is 855, and the 80 fully-met students were divided by line d (558), per instructions.
  • H2 line d (558) is printed as 'awarded any financial aid', not need-based aid; pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed and left null.
  • H2 line I (58.7) is the first-time column value for avg % need met; J (11,085) and K (9,901) were not used for the first-time column, so avg_need_based_package and avg_need_based_grant reflect the Full-time Undergrad column values (11,369 and 9,836); flagged for review.
  • C7: class rank marked not considered despite C10 reporting class rank data for 85% of enrollees.
