Notes on this filing

C8: Section A grid lists admission policies for Fall 2027 while the filing year is 2025-26; policy summary is taken from the grid as printed.
C8: grid marks 'Require for Some' for SAT or ACT; C8F says the test requirement is waived for students with a 3.2 academic high school GPA. These are consistent but the grid does not show the waiver.
C2: institution has no waitlist policy (answered No); all waitlist counts left null.
C21/C22: no early decision or early action plan; counts null.
C9: 4-year graduation rate is not printed in the filing; the 6-year rate (43.4%) is from the Fall 2018 cohort (Fall 2019 not reported).
B22: retention rate 78.14% is for the Fall 2024 entering cohort (B12-B21 is for two-year institutions only).
G1: tuition differs by residency (in-state $5,610, out-of-state $20,670, US nonresident $21,270), so the single tuition field is left null.
H2: first-time full-time freshman column used. Line h (fully met, 62) divided by line d (66 awarded any financial aid, 1,066) gives 5.8%; the CDS definition of line d refers to need-based aid, but the printed label is 'any financial aid', so this may not match the intended denominator.
H2 line i (43%) and line j ($10,701) are used as printed; line j is the average total aid package, not strictly need-based.
pct_with_need_awarded_aid not printed as a percent and not computed, so null (line d 1,066 of line c 1,066 would give 100%).
H1 values are 2025-26 estimated.
