NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS
What Is IPEDS?
The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data
System (IPEDS) is a system of survey components
that collects data from about 7,500 institutions that
provide postsecondary education across the United
States. IPEDS collects institution-level data on
students (enrollment and graduation rates), student
charges, program completions, faculty, staff, and
finances.
These data are used at the federal and state level for
policy analysis and development; at the institutional
level for benchmarking and peer analysis; and by
students and parents, through the College Navigator
(http://collegenavigator.ed.gov), to aid in the college
search process. For more information about IPEDS,
see http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds.
What Is the Purpose of This Report?
The Data Feedback Report is intended to provide
institutions a context for examining the data they
submitted to IPEDS. Our goal is to produce a report
that is useful to institutional executives and that may
help improve the quality and comparability of IPEDS
data.
What Is in This Report?
The figures provided in this report are those
suggested by the IPEDS Technical Review Panel.
They were developed to provide selected indicators
and data elements for your institution and a
comparison group of institutions. The figures are
based on data collected during the 2012-13 IPEDS
collection cycle and are the most recent data
available. Additional information about these
indicators is provided in the Methodological Notes at
the end of the report. On the next page is a list of the
institutions in your comparison group and the criteria
used for their selection. Please refer to "Comparison
Group" in the Methodological Notes for more
information.
Where Can I Do More with IPEDS Data?
The Customize Data Feedback Report functionality
of the IPEDS Data Center is designed to provide
campus executives easy access to institutional and
comparison group data. Using this functionality, you
can produce reports using different comparison
groups and access a wider range of IPEDS
variables. The Data Center can be accessed at
http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter.

IPEDS DATA FEEDBACK REPORT
COMPARISON GROUP
Comparison group data are included to provide a context for interpreting your institution’s statistics. If your institution did not define a Custom
Comparison Group for this report by July 15, NCES selected a comparison group for you. (In this case, the characteristics used to define the
comparison group appears below.) The Customize DFR functionality on the IPEDS Data Center (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter/) can be
used to reproduce the figures in this report using different peer groups.

IPEDS DATA FEEDBACK REPORT
METHODOLOGICAL NOTES
Overview
Cohort Determination for Reporting Student Financial Aid and
Graduation Rates
This report is based on data supplied by institutions to IPEDS during the
2012-13 data collection year. Response rates exceeded 99 percent for
most surveys. Detailed response tables are included in IPEDS First Look
reports, which can be found at
http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/getpubcats.asp?sid=010.
Student cohorts for reporting Student Financial Aid and Graduation Rates
data are based on the reporting type of the institution. For institutions that
report based on an academic year (those operating on standard academic
terms), student counts and cohorts are based on fall term data. Student
counts and cohorts for program reporters (those that do not operate on
standard academic terms) are based on unduplicated counts of students
enrolled during a full 12-month period.
Use of Median Values for Comparison Group
The value for the comparison institution is compared to the median value
for the comparison group for each statistic included in the figure. If more
than one statistic is presented in a figure, the median values are
determined separately for each indicator or statistic. Medians are not
reported for comparison groups with fewer than three values. Where
percentage distributions are presented, median values may not add to 100
percent. The IPEDS Data Center provides access to all of the data used to
create the figures included in this report.
Description of Statistics Used in the Figures
Average Institutional Net Price
Average net price is calculated for full-time, first-time degree/certificateseeking undergraduates who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from
the federal government, state/local government, or the institution anytime
during the full aid year. For public institutions, this includes only students
who paid the in-state or in-district tuition rate. Other sources of grant aid
are excluded. Average net price is generated by subtracting the average
amount of federal, state/local government, and institutional grant and
scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance
is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books and supplies, and
the average room and board and other expenses.
Missing Statistics
If a statistic is not reported for your institution, the omission indicates that
the statistic is not relevant to your institution and the data were not
collected. Not all notes listed below may be applicable to your report.
Use of Imputed Data
For the purpose of the IPEDS reporting, aid received refers to financial aid
that was awarded to, and accepted by, a student. This amount may differ
from the aid amount that is disbursed to a student.
All IPEDS data are subject to imputation for total (institutional) and partial
(item) nonresponse. If necessary, imputed values were used to prepare
your report.
Core Revenues
Core revenues for public institutions reporting under GASB standards
include tuition and fees; state and local appropriations; government grants
and contracts; private gifts, grants, and contracts; sales and services of
educational activities; investment income; other operating and nonoperating sources; and other revenues and additions (federal and capital
appropriations and grants and additions to permanent endowments). Core
revenues for private, not-for-profit institutions (and a small number of public
institutions) reporting under FASB standards include tuition and fees;
government appropriations (federal, state, and local); government grants
and contracts; private gifts, grants, and contracts (including contributions
from affiliated entities); investment return; sales and services of
educational activities; and other sources. Core revenues for private, forprofit institutions reporting under FASB standards include tuition and fees;
government appropriations, grants, and contracts (federal, state, and
local); private grants and contracts; investment income; sales and services
of educational activities; and other sources. At degree-granting institutions,
core revenues exclude revenues from auxiliary enterprises (e.g.,
bookstores, dormitories), hospitals, and independent operations.
Nondegree-granting instituions do no report revenue from auxiliary
enterprises in a separate category. These amounts may be included in the
core revenues from other sources.
Data Confidentiality
IPEDS data are not collected under a pledge of confidentiality.
Disaggregation of Data by Race/Ethnicity
When applicable, some statistics are disaggregated by race/ethnicity. Data
disaggregated by race/ethnicity have been reported using the 1997 Office
of Management and Budget categories. Detailed information about the
race/ethnicity categories can be found at
http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/reic/resource.asp.
Core Expenses
Core expenses include expenses for instruction, research, public service,
academic support, institutional support, student services, scholarships and
fellowships (net of discounts and allowances), and other expenses.
Expenses for operation and maintenance of plant, depreciation, and
interest are allocated to each of the other functions. Core expenses at
degree-granting institutions exclude expenses for auxiliary enterprises
(e.g., bookstores, dormitories), hospitals, and independent operations.
Nondegree-granting institutions do not report expenses for auxiliary
enterprises in a separate category. These amounts may be included in the
core expenses as other expenses.

IPEDS DATA FEEDBACK REPORT
Equated Instructional Non-Medical Staff Salaries
Institutions reported total salary outlays by academic rank and the number
of staff by academic rank and contract length (9-, 10-, 11-, and 12-month
contracts). Total number of months covered by salary outlays was
calculated by multiplying the number of staff by the number of months of
the contract and summing across all contracts length periods. Weighted
average monthly salary was calculated by dividing the total salary outlays
by the total number of months covered. The weighted average monthly
salary was then multiplied by 9 to determine an average salary for each
rank.
FTE Enrollment
The full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment used in this report is the sum of
the institution’s FTE undergraduate enrollment and FTE graduate
enrollment (as calculated from or reported on the 12-month Enrollment
component). Undergraduate and graduate FTE are estimated using 12month instructional activity (credit and/or contact hours). See “Calculation
of FTE Students (using instructional activity)” in the IPEDS Glossary at
http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/glossary/.
regardless of the duration of service, and amounts made to or on behalf of
an individual over and above that received in the form of a salary or wage.
Frequently, benefits are associated with an insurance payment. Private, forprofit institutions under FASB standards do not report salaries.
Total Entering Undergraduate Students
Total entering students are students at the undergraduate level, both fulland part-time, new to the institution in the fall term (or the prior summer
term who returned in the fall). This includes all first-time undergraduate
students, students transferring into the institution at the undergraduate
level, and nondegree/certificate-seeking undergraduates entering in the fall.
Only degree-granting, academic year reporting institutions provide total
entering student data.
Tuition and Required Fees
The full-time-equivalent (FTE) of staff is calculated by summing the total
number of full-time staff and adding one-third of the total number of parttime staff. Graduate assistants are not included.
Tuition is defined as the amount of money charged to students for
instructional services; required fees are those fixed sum charges to
students for items not covered by tuition that are required of such a large
proportion of all students that the student who does not pay the charge is an
exception. The amounts used in this report are for full-time, first-time,
degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates and are those used by the
financial aid office to determine need. For institutions that have differential
tuition rates for in-district or in-state students, the lowest tuition rate is used
in the figure. Only institutions that operate on standard academic terms will
have tuition figures included in their report.
Graduation Rates and Transfer-out Rate
Additional Methodological Information
Graduation rates are those developed to satisfy the requirements of the
Student Right-to-Know and Higher Education Opportunity Acts and are
defined as the total number of individuals from a given cohort of full-time,
first-time, degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates who completed a
degree or certificate within a given percent of normal time (for the degree
or certificate) before the ending status date of August 31, 2012, divided by
the entire cohort of full-time, first-time, degree/certificate-seeking
undergraduates minus any allowable exclusions. Institutions are permitted
to exclude from the initial cohort students who died or were totally and
permanently disabled; those who left school to serve in the armed forces
or were called to active duty; those who left to serve with a foreign aid
service of the federal government, such as the Peace Corps; and those
who left to serve on an official church mission. Transfer-out rate is the total

FTE Staff
Retention Rates
Full-time retention rates are defined as the number of full-time, first-time,
degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who enter the institution
for the first time in the fall and who return to the same institution the
following fall (as either full- or part-time), divided by the total number of fulltime, first-time, degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates in the fall of first
entrance. Part-time retention rates are similarly defined. For 4-year
institutions offering a bachelor’s degree, this rate is reported only for those
first-time students seeking a bachelor’s degree. For less than 4-year
institutions, the rate is calculated for all first-time degree/certificate-seeking
students.
Salaries, Wages, and Benefits
Salaries, wages, and benefits, for public institutions under GASB
