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
student enrollment, 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), an online tool 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. The purpose of this report is to
provide institutional executives a useful resource and
to help improve the quality and comparability of
IPEDS data.
What Is in This Report?
As suggested by the IPEDS Technical Review Panel,
the figures in this report provide selected indicators
for your institution and a comparison group of
institutions. The figures are based on data collected
during the 2013-14 IPEDS collection cycle and are
the most recent data available. This report provides a
list of pre-selected comparison group institutions and
the criteria used for their selection. Additional
information about these indicators and the preselected comparison group are provided in the
Methodological Notes at the end of the report.
Where Can I Do More with IPEDS Data?
Institutions have the opportunity to create its
comparison group instead of using the IPEDS preselected comparison group through the Customize
Data Feedback Report functionality located in the
IPEDS Data Center. Customized comparison groups
allow institutional executives to quickly produce
customizable reports using different comparison
groups and accessing 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 Data Feedback Report 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.
The custom comparison group chosen by West Virginia Northern Community College includes the following 20 institutions:
Allegany College of Maryland (Cumberland, MD)

IPEDS DATA FEEDBACK REPORT
METHODOLOGICAL NOTES
Description of Statistics Used in the Figures
Overview
Admissions and Test Score Data
Admissions and test score data are presented only for institutions that do
not have an open admission policy, and apply to first-time,
degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students only. Applicants include
only those students who fulfilled all requirements for consideration for
admission and who were notified of one of the following actions:
admission, non-admission, placement on a wait list, or application
withdrawn (by applicant or institution). Admitted applicants (admissions)
include wait-listed students who were subsequently offered admission.
Early decision, early action, and students who began studies during the
summer prior to the fall reporting period are included. Institutions report
test scores only if they are required for admission.
This report is based on data supplied by institutions to IPEDS during the
2013-14 data collection year. Response rates exceeded 99% 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.
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%. The IPEDS Data Center provides access to all of the data used to
create the figures included in this report.
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 may be applicable to your report.
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.
Use of Imputed Data
Core Revenues
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 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 institutions 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.
Cohort Determination for Reporting Student Financial Aid and
Graduation Rates
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.
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.
West Virginia Northern Community College 7
IPEDS DATA FEEDBACK REPORT
Endowment Assets
percentage of first-time degree/certificate-seeking students from the
previous fall who either re-enrolled or successfully completed their program
by the current fall. The full-time retention rate is calculated using the
percentage of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking
undergraduates, while the part-time rate is calculated using the percentage
of part-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates.
Endowment assets, for public institutions under GASB standards, and
private, not-for-profit institutions under FASB standards, include gross
investments of endowment funds, term endowment funds, and funds
functioning as endowment for the institution and any of its foundations and
other affiliated organizations. Private, for-profit institutions under FASB do
not hold or report endowment assets.
Salaries, Wages, and Benefits
Equated Instructional Non-Medical Staff Salaries
Salaries, wages, and benefits, for public institutions under GASB
standards, and private, not-for-profit institutions under FASB standards,
include amounts paid as compensation for services to all employees
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, for
-profit institutions under FASB standards do not report salaries.
Institutions reported total salary outlays by academic rank and gender, and
the number of staff by academic rank, contract length (9-, 10-, 11-, and 12month contracts), and gender. The total number of months covered by
salary outlays was calculated by multiplying the number of staff reported
for each contract length period by the number of months of the contract,
and summing across all contract length periods. The weighted average
monthly salary for each academic rank and gender 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
equated 9-month salary for each rank.
Student-to-Faculty Ratio
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/.
The guidance provided to institutions for calculating their student-to-faculty
ratio is as follows: the number of FTE students (using Fall Enrollment data)
divided by the total FTE instructional staff (using the total Primarily
instruction + Instruction/research/public service staff reported on the EAP
section of the Human Resources component and adding any not primarily
instructional staff that are teaching a credit course). For this calculation,
FTE for students is equal to the number of full-time students plus one-third
the number of part-time students; FTE for instructional staff is similarly
calculated. Students enrolled in "stand-alone" graduate or professional
programs (such as medicine, law, veterinary, dentistry, social work, or
public health) and instructional staff teaching in these programs are
excluded from the FTE calculations.
FTE Staff
Total Entering Undergraduate Students
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.
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 non-degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates entering in the
fall. Only degree-granting, academic year reporting institutions provide total
entering student data.
FTE Enrollment
Graduation Rates and Transfer-out Rate
Graduation rates are those developed to satisfy the requirements of the
Student Right-to-Know Act and Higher Education Act, as amended, and
are defined as the total number of individuals from a given cohort of fulltime, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates who completed a
degree or certificate within a given percent of normal time to complete all
requirements of the degree or certificate program before the ending status
date of August 31, 2013; divided by the total number of students in the
cohort of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates
minus any allowable exclusions. Institutions are permitted to exclude from
the cohort students who died or were totally and permanently disabled;
those who left school to serve in the armed forces or were called up 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 number of students
from the cohort who are known to have transferred out of the reporting
institution (without earning a degree/award) and subsequently re-enrolled
at another institution within the same time period; divided by the same
adjusted cohort (initial cohort minus allowable exclusions) as described
above. Only institutions with a mission that includes providing substantial
preparation for students to enroll in another eligible institution are required
to report transfers out.
Tuition and Required Fees
Tuition is defined as the amount of money charged to students for
instructional services, and 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.
Additional Methodological Information
Additional methodological information on the IPEDS components can be
found in the publications available at
http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/getpubcats.asp?sid=010.
Additional definitions of variables used in this report can be found in the
IPEDS online glossary available at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/glossary/.
Retention Rates
Full-time retention rates is a measure of the rate at which students persist
in their educational program at an institution, expressed as a percentage.
For four-year institutions, this is the percentage of first-time bachelors (or
equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduates from the previous fall who are
again enrolled in the current fall. For all other institutions this is the
