CHANGED ITEMS

 

B4. - B21.   Graduation Rates: Bachelor’s or equivalent program data may be provided for the fall 1997 cohort else the fall 1996 cohort depending upon the timing of the data request and the availability of the data. Likewise for two-year institutions, data may be provided for the 2000 cohort else the 1999 cohort.

E4. - E8.      Library Collections: This item now references questions and definitions used in the most recent Academic Libraries Survey.

H.                Financial Aid:

·         Questions were reworded slightly for clarification. The term “gift aid” was replaced with “scholarship or grant aid” and “received” was replaced with “awarded.”

·         In H1, the row heading “State (Scholarship/Grants)” was defined to include scholarships and grants from all states, not only the state in which your institution is located.

·         In H2b, the question was refined to include only students who applied for need-based financial aid.

·         In H2i, financial aid awarded in excess of need is to be excluded.

·         H2A “Number of Enrolled Students Awarded Non-need-based Scholarships and Grants” was refined to include only institutional aid.

J.                 Degrees Conferred: CIP 2000’s two-digit categories are now listed alongside those for CIP 1990.

G1.  Undergraduate full-time tuition, required fees, room and board

        List the typical tuition, required fees, and room and board for a full-time undergraduate student for the FULL 2004-2005 academic year (30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours for institutions that derive annual tuition by multiplying credit hour cost by number of credits). A full academic year refers to the period of time generally extending from September to June; usually equated to two semesters, two trimesters, three quarters, or the period covered by a four-one-four plan. Room and board is defined as double occupancy and 19 meals per week or the maximum meal plan. Required fees include only charges that all full-time students must pay that are not included in tuition (e.g., registration, health, or activity fees.) Do not include optional fees (e.g., parking, laboratory use).

H. FINANCIAL AID

 

Please refer to the following financial aid definitions when completing Section H.

 

Financial aid applicant: Any applicant who submits any one of the institutionally required financial aid applications/forms, such as the FAFSA.

 

Indebtedness: Aggregate dollar amount borrowed through any loan programs (federal, state, subsidized, unsubsidized, private, etc.; excluding parent loans) while the student was enrolled at an institution. Student loans co-signed by a parent are assumed to be the responsibility of the student and should be included.

 

Institutional and external funds: Endowment, alumni, or external monies for which the institution determines the recipient or the dollar amount awarded.

 

Financial need: As determined by your institution using the federal methodology and/or your institution's own standards.

 

Need-based aid: College-funded or college-administered award from institutional, state, federal, or other sources for which a student must have financial need to qualify. This includes both institutional and noninstitutional student aid (grants, jobs, and loans).

 

Need-based scholarship or grant aid: Scholarships and grants from institutional, state, federal, or other sources for which a student must have financial need to qualify.

 

Need-based self-help aid: Loans and jobs  from institutional, state, federal, or other sources for which a student must demonstrate financial need to qualify.

 

Non-need-based scholarship or grant aid: Scholarships and grants, gifts, or merit-based aid from institutional, state, federal, or other sources (including unrestricted funds or gifts and endowment income) awarded solely on the basis of academic achievement, merit, or any other non-need-based reason. When reporting questions H1 and H2, non-need-based aid that is used to meet need should be counted as need-based aid.

 

Note: Suggested order of precedence for counting non-need money as need-based:

Non-need institutional grants

Non-need tuition waivers

Non-need athletic awards

Non-need federal grants

Non-need state grants

Non-need outside grants

Non-need student loans

Non-need parent loans

Non-need work

 

Non-need-based self-help aid: Loans and jobs from institutional, state, or other sources for which a student need not demonstrate financial need to qualify.

 

Scholarships/grants from external sources: Monies received from outside (private) sources that the student brings with them (e.g., Kiwanis, National Merit scholarships). The institution may process paperwork to receive the dollars, but it has no role in determining the recipient or the dollar amount awarded.

 

Work study and employment: Federal and state work study aid, and any employment packaged by your institution in financial aid awards.

 


Aid Awarded to Enrolled Undergraduates

 

H1.  Enter total dollar amounts awarded to enrolled full-time and less than full-time degree-seeking undergraduates (using the same cohort reported in CDS Question B1, “total degree-seeking” undergraduates) in the following categories. (Note: If the data being reported are final figures for the 2002-2003 academic year (see the next item below), use the 2002-2003 academic year's CDS Question B1 cohort.) Include aid awarded to international students (i.e., those not qualifying for federal aid). Aid that is non-need-based but that was used to meet need should be reported in the need-based aid column. (For a suggested order of precedence in assigning categories of aid to cover need, see the entry for “non-need-based scholarship or grant aid” on the last page of the definitions section.)

 

Indicate the academic year for which data are reported for items H1, H2, H2A, and H6 below:

 2003-2004 estimated    or     2002-2003 final

 

        Which needs-analysis methodology does your institution use in awarding institutional aid? (Formerly H3)

_x__ Federal methodology (FM)

___ Institutional methodology (IM)

___ Both FM and IM

 

 

Need-based

(Include non-need-based aid use to meet need.)

Non-need-based

(Exclude non-need-based aid use to meet need.)
