CHANGES
TO THE CDS FOR 2003-2004
NEW ITEMS
A0. Respondent Information: This item collects respondent name and contact information in case questions arise. (This information will not be published.) It also requests the Web address of CDSs posted online for use by data collectors.
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.

List the typical tuition, required fees, and room and board

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;

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
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:
