Notes on this filing

C1: applied, admitted and enrolled are the sums of the male, female and unknown counts; they match the residency table totals (6785, 2612, 1742).
C2: filing states no waiting list policy, so waitlist counts are left null.
C8A/C8F: C8F gives only a URL with no written clarification; the policy summary is drawn from the C8A checkbox and the URL label.
C9: SAT submitters are printed as 0% with 23 students, which does not match 23 of 1,742 enrollees (about 1.3%). Reported as printed; please verify.
B4-B11 (Fall 2019 cohort): the 4-year graduation rate is not printed (line D is 997 of 2,296 but no rate is given), so grad_rate_4yr is null. The 6-year rate of 64.0% is as printed.
C11: the bands below 3.50 (17.4, 12.1, 3.2, 0, 0, 0) sum to 32.7.
H2: pct_need_fully_met is line h (201) divided by line d (849) for the first-time, full-time column.
H2: pct_with_need_awarded_aid is left null because the filing does not print that percentage.
H1/H2: avg_need_based_package uses line J (average financial aid package, first-time full-time column), which the filing does not label need-based.
G1: public institution, so in-state and out-of-state tuition are filled and the single tuition field is null. Room and board is the first-year food and housing figure.
