a Response rate (number of respondents divided by sample size) is adjusted for non-deliverable mailing addresses, students for whom
contact information was not available, and other students who were sampled yet unavailable during the survey administration.
b This report is based on information from all randomly selected students for both your institution and your comparison institutions.
Targeted and locally administered oversamples (i.e., non-randomly selected students) are not included in this report.
c Sampling error is an estimate of the margin by which the true score for your institution on a given item could differ from the reported
score. To interpret the sampling error, assume that 60% of your students reply "very often" to a particular item. If the sampling error is
+/-5%, then the true population value is most likely between 55% and 65%.
d Percent of total respondents within each category. These results are not weighted.
e Institution-reported data. This information was used to weight your Mean Comparisons, Frequency Distributions, and Benchmark
Comparisons reports.
