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 or census-administered 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. For example, if the
sampling error is +/-5% and 60% of your students reply "very often" to a particular item, 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.
f
Students who identified their residence as "dormitory or other campus housing" or "fraternity or sorority house."
