Notes on this filing
  • Policy: C8A marks SAT/ACT as 'not required for admission, but considered if submitted'; C8F clarification is blank, so the policy summary relies on C8A and C8G/C8D only.
  • C2: the institution answered No to having a waiting list policy; all waitlist counts are blank.
  • C1: no residency breakdown of applicants, admits, or enrollees provided.
  • C10/C11 and other C items were read as printed; C11 percentages sum to 100%.
  • G1: the in-district tuition cell is blank; in-state (out-of-district) tuition of $8,272 is reported and in-state/out-of-state are filled, so tuition is left null.
  • G1 food and housing ($9,746) is reported as room_and_board for first-year undergraduates.
  • Graduation rates: the 2019 cohort's six-year rate (59%) is printed in B4-B11 line H. The four-year rate is not printed (line D 995 / cohort 3,153 would be 31.6%, but it was not computed), so grad_rate_4yr is null.
  • Retention: B22 prints 68.10% for the Fall 2024 cohort; the count boxes are blank.
  • pct_with_need_awarded_aid is not printed as a percent and was not computed from H2 lines c/d, so it is null.
  • pct_need_fully_met = H2 line h (572) / line d (1,603) = 35.7%.
  • H2 first-year line a shows 4,228 degree-seeking first-time first-year students, while B1/C1 show 4,594 enrolled first-time first-year students; this difference was not reconciled.
  • B1 'Other first-year, degree-seeking' females shows '(142)' in parentheses, which is unexplained.
