Graduation Rates

The items in this section correspond to data elements collected by the IPEDS Web-based Data Collection

System’s Graduation Rate Survey (GRS). For complete instructions and definitions of data elements, see

the IPEDS GRS Forms and Instructions for the 2017-18 Survey

For Bachelor's or Equivalent Institutions

In the following section for bachelor’s or equivalent programs, please disaggregate the Fall 2010 and Fall 2011 cohort

(formerly CDS B4-B11) into four groups:

• Students who received a Federal Pell Grant*

• Recipients of a subsidized Stafford Loan who did not receive a Pell Grant

• Students who did not receive either a Pell Grant or a subsidized Stafford Loan

• Total (all students, regardless of Pell Grant or subsidized loan status)

*Students who received both a Federal Pell Grant and a subsidized Stafford Loan should be reported in the

"Recipients of a Federal Pell Grant" column.

For each graduation rate grid below, the numbers in the first three columns for Questions A-G should sum to the

cohort total in the fourth column (formerly CDS B4-B11).

fees, and room and board for a full-time undergraduate student for the FULL 2018-2019 academic

year (30 semester or 45 quarter hours for institutions that derive annual tuition 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; usually equated to two semesters, two trimesters, three

quarters, or the period 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)

I. INSTRUCTIONAL FACULTY AND CLASS SIZ

Please report the number of instructional faculty members in each category for Fall 2017. Include

faculty who are on your institution’s payroll on the census date your institution uses for

IPEDS/AAUP.

The following definition of full-time instructional faculty is used by the American Association of University Professors

(AAUP) in its annual Faculty Compensation Survey (the part time definitions are not used by AAUP). Instructional Faculty

is defined as those members of the instructional-research staff whose major regular assignment is instruction, including

those with released time for research. Use the chart below to determine inclusions and exclusions:

Full-time Part-time

(a) instructional faculty in preclinical and clinical medicine, faculty who are not paid (e.g.,

those who donate their services or are in the military), or research-only faculty, post-

doctoral fellows, or pre-doctoral fellows

Exclude Include only if

they teach one

or more non-

clinical credit

courses

(b) administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, librarian, registrar, coach,

and the like, even though they may devote part of their time to classroom instruction and

may have faculty status

Exclude Include if they

teach one or

more non-

clinical credit

courses

though they do not have faculty status

Exclude Include

(d) undergraduate or graduate students who assist in the instruction of courses, but have

titles such as teaching assistant, teaching fellow, and the like

Exclude Exclude

(e) faculty on sabbatical or leave with pay

Include Exclude

(f) faculty on leave without pay

Exclude Exclude

(g) replacement faculty for faculty on sabbatical leave or leave with pay

Exclude Include

Full-time instructional faculty: faculty employed on a full-time basis for instruction (including those with released time for

research)

Part-time instructional faculty: Adjuncts and other instructors being paid solely for part-time classroom instruction. Also

includes full-time faculty teaching less than two semesters, three quarters, two trimesters, or two four-month sessions.

Employees who are not considered full-time instructional faculty but who teach one or more non-clinical credit courses

may be counted as part-time faculty.

Minority faculty: includes faculty who designate themselves as Black, non-Hispanic; American Indian or Alaska Native;

Asian, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, or Hispanic.

Doctorate: includes such degrees as Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Education, Doctor of Juridical Science, and Doctor

of Public Health in any field such as arts, sciences, education, engineering, business, and public administration. Also

includes terminal degrees formerly designated as “first professional,” including dentistry (DDS or DMD), medicine (MD),

optometry (OD), osteopathic medicine (DO), pharmacy (DPharm or BPharm), podiatric medicine (DPM), veterinary

medicine (DVM), chiropractic (DC or DCM), or law (JD).

Terminal degree: the highest degree in a field: example, M. Arch (architecture) and MFA (master of fine arts).

Undergraduate Class Size

CDS-I Page 24

Common Data Set 2017-2018

In the table below, please use the following definitions to report information about the size of classes and

class sections offered in the Fall 2017 term.

Class Sections: A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline and

number, meeting at a stated time or times in a classroom or similar setting, and not a subsection such as a

laboratory or discussion session. Undergraduate class sections are defined as any sections in which at

least one degree-seeking undergraduate student is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning classes

and noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction,

or one-to-one readings. Exclude students in independent study, co-operative programs, internships, foreign

language taped tutor sessions, practicums, and all students in one-on-one classes. Each class section

should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of course catalog cross-listings.

Class Subsections: A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory,

recitation, and discussion subsections that are supplementary in nature and are scheduled to meet

separately from the lecture portion of the course. Undergraduate subsections are defined as any

subsections of courses in which degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled for credit. As above,

exclude noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music

instruction, or one-to-one readings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and should not be

duplicated because of cross-listings.

Using the above definitions, please report for each of the following class-size intervals the number of class

sections and class subsections offered in Fall 2017. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who

met at another time in 40 separate labs with 20 students should be counted once in the “100+” column in

the class section column and 40 times under the “20-29” column of the class subsections table.

rees conferred between Jul

1, 2016 and June 30, 2017

For each of the following discipline areas, provide the percentage of diplomas/certificates, associate, and bachelor’s degrees awarded. To

determine the percentage, use majors, not headcount (e.g., students with one degree but a double major will be represented twice).

Calculate the percentage from your institution’s IPEDS Completions by using the sum of 1st and 2nd majors for each CIP code as the

numerator and the sum of the Grand Total by 1st Majors and the Grand Total by 2nd major as the denominator. If you prefer, you can

compute the percentages using 1st majors only.
