OverviewInstitutional Characteristics Header Overview

Welcome to the Institutional Characteristics Header survey component (IC Header). This survey was introduced tocollect data that are key to reporting throughout the IPEDS data collection, and must be completed and locked beforeany other survey can be started.

Some IC Header questions may require nothing more than a confirmation, if nothing has changed. Please makechanges as necessary, and complete items that do need a response (enrollment questions).

Remember, it is the responsibility of the keyholder to provide NCES with accurate data about the institution. Pleasenever hesitate to call the IPEDS Help Desk at 1-877-225-2568 and ask for help to make sure that you are reportingcorrectly!

Because of the importance of the IC Header data in determining the screens you will receive in other surveys, be sureto report correctly, and to contact the IPEDS Help Desk if you have ANY questions about what you need to report.

The IC Header data affect other survey components in the following ways:• The Educational Offerings question verifies your institution's inclusion in IPEDS.• The Control and Levels page is key to all survey components, especially to Finance (F) and Graduation

Rates (GR). Additionally, this is important information for students, impacts many federal reports, and is usedin placing institutions in appropriate net price groupings.

• Calendar system selection impacts student charges data reported in Institutional Characteristics (IC), FallEnrollment (EF) data, GR data, and Student Financial Aid (SFA) data related to the net price calculation.

• Enrollment levels impact student charges in IC and enrollment categories in the EF survey component.

• The Open Admission question determines whether the Admissions component will be required in the Wintercollection.

• The Academic Libraries expenses question determines whether the Academic Libraries component will berequired in the Spring collection. This question is asked of degree-granting institutions only.

• The operations question for new institutions determines reporting of 12-month enrollment (E12).

Much of the data reported on IC appear on College Navigator, which is updated once after IC data has been reviewed.Thus, errors may stay on College Navigator for a full year.

Additionally, the cost of attendance data are used to calculate the net price of attendance in the Student Financial Aidcomponent. This has important implications for what students see about your institution, and also for the CollegeAffordability and Transparency Center's lists.

Completions 2018-19

Institution: West Virginia State University (237899) User ID: P2378991Completions Overview

Welcome to the IPEDS Completions survey component. The Completions component is one of several IPEDS components that is conducted during the Fall data collectionperiod. It collects the number of degrees and certificates awarded by field of study, level of award, race/ethnicity, and gender. The reporting period for the Completionscomponent is during the 12-month time period beginning July 1 of the previous calendar year and ending June 30 of the current calendar year; therefore, for this year’sCompletions component, the reporting period is between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018. The Completions component is also collecting the number of students (e.g.,completers) who earned awards between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018.

Completions Common Errors Some common completions component errors include the following:

• Including award levels on your current year Completions that were not reported on your previous year's (PY) Institutional Characteristics (IC). [Award levels in the PYIC component cannot be changed; therefore, contact the IPEDS Help Desk at 1-877-225-2568 if you need assistance.]

• Forgetting to select CIP codes for new programs of study that are offered by the institution, but do not have completions for the reporting period.• Forgetting to enter in zero in at least one of the cells for CIP codes that do not have completions.

Recent Changes • The following question on distance education has been added to the bottom of each individual "CIP Data" screen:

"Is this program offered as a distance education program?"• The following two screens, which collect data specifically on students were added to this component, beginning in the 2012-13 survey year:

◦ "All Completers" - Collects the number of students who earned an award between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 by gender and race/ethnicity. (The intentof this screen is to collect an unduplicated count of total numbers of completers.)

◦ "Completers by Level" - Collects the number of students who earned an award between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 by award level and 1) by gender; 2)by race/ethnicity; and 3) by age.

• The definition for Post-baccalaureate Certificate has changed slightly since the 2014-15 collection.

Overview12-month Enrollment Overview

The 12-month Enrollment component collects unduplicated student enrollment counts and instructional activity datafor an entire 12-month period. Using the instructional activity data reported, a full-time equivalent (FTE) studentenrollment at the undergraduate and graduate level is estimated. Institutions with Doctor's - professional practicestudents will also report the FTE enrollment of those students. NCES uses the FTE enrollment to produce indicatorssuch as expenses by function per FTE as reported in the IPEDS Data Feedback Report.

Graduation Rates 2018-19Institution: West Virginia State University (237899)User ID: P2378991

OverviewGraduation Rates Overview

Welcome to the IPEDS Graduation Rates (GR) survey component. The GR component collects data on the cohort offull-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students and tracks their completion status at 150% of thenormal time to complete all requirements of their program of study. This information is collected to assist institutions incomplying with the requirements of the Student Right-to-Know Act.

Data Reporting Reminders Once a student is in the cohort, they remain in the cohort, even if their status changes to part-time or they drop out ortransfer out of the institution. However, adjustments can be made to the cohort for allowable exclusions, which includethe death of a student, permanent disability, military deployment, or service on an official church mission or with aforeign aid service of the Federal government.

When reporting award levels for sub-baccalaureate certificates, determine program length by the number of creditor contact hours, NOT the academic year length in parentheses. The academic year length is meant only to providecontext.

Recent Changes to the Graduation Rates Component:• IPEDS will collect the HEA, as amended, required graduation rate for Pell recipients and recipients of a

subsidized Direct Loan who did not receive a Pell Grant. A recipient will be defined as anyone who receivesand uses these awards anytime within their first year

Resources:The survey materials package for this component can be downloaded using the following link: Survey Materials






Section I - Establishing cohortsBased on your institution's response to the predominant calendar system question (B3) on the InstitutionalCharacteristics Header survey component from the IPEDS Fall 2018 data collection, your institution must reportgraduation rates data using a:

Fall Cohort A fall cohort is used by institutions with standard academic terms (semester, trimester, quarter, 4-1-4). A full-year cohort is used by institutions offering primarily occupational/vocational programs and operating on acontinuous basis.

Establishing cohortsNOTE: Reporting using the new race/ethnicity categories is now mandatory. On this screen you will need to revise yourpreloaded 2012 cohort of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students to the new race/ethnicitycategories (if applicable).

Admissions 2018-19Institution: West Virginia State University (237899)User ID: P2378991

OverviewAdmissions Overview

Welcome to the IPEDS Admissions (ADM) survey component. The primary purpose of ADM is to collect basicinformation about the undergraduate selection process for entering first-time, degree/certificate-seeking students. Thisincludes information about admissions considerations, admissions yields, and SAT and ACT test scores (if test scoresare required for admission). ADM will be collected only from institutions that do not have an open admissions policy forentering first-time students.

Recent changes • SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and math scores should be reported based on the new (2016)

SAT score range 200-800.• Due to changes in the SAT, institutions will need to convert scores from the old SAT to the new (2016) SAT

using College Board Concordance tables.

Data Reporting Reminders • Institutions operating on a traditional academic year calendar (semester, trimester, quarter, or 4-1-4) report

admissions as of the institution's official fall reporting date or October 15. Institutions operating on an "otheracademic calendar”, a calendar that differs by program, or that enrolls students on a continuous basis(referred to as program reporters) report admissions as students who enroll any time during the period ofAugust 1 through October 31.

• ADM is only applicable to first-time entering students; do not include other students in the number ofapplicants, number of admits, and number (of admitted) that enrolled. Only include levels (full-time, part-time)that you indicated were offered in the IC Header. If you made an error in the IC Header, please call theIPEDS Help Desk.








Admissions Considerations1. Please select the option that best describes how your institution uses any of the following data in itsundergraduate selection process. Admission Considerations Required Considered

but notrequired

Recommended Neither Requirednor Recommended

Secondary school GPA Secondary school rank Secondary school record Completion of college-preparatory program Recommendations Formal demonstration of competencies (e.g., portfolios,certificates of mastery, assessment instruments) Admission test scoresSAT / ACT Other Test (ABT, Wonderlic, WISC-III, etc.)Note: If this is the only requirement other than a diploma orequivalent, and few students are not admitted due to thistest, your institution is open enrollment. Please contact theHelp Desk to correct your response to this question.

Outcome Measures 2018-19Institution: West Virginia State University (237899)User ID: P2378991

OverviewOutcome Measures Overview

Welcome to the IPEDS Outcome Measures (OM) survey component. The OM component collects award andenrollment data from degree-granting institutions on four undergraduate cohorts and eight undergraduate subcohortsat three status points: four-years, six-years, and eight-years after entry.

The four cohorts of degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates are:• First-time, full-time entering (FTFT)• First-time, part-time entering (FTPT)• Non-first-time, full-time entering (NFTFT)• Non-first-time, part-time entering (NFTPT)

For each cohort, two subcohort groups have been added to the OM component - Pell Grant recipients and Non-PellGrant recipients - resulting in eight undergraduate subcohorts.


• All institutions must report on a FULL-YEAR cohort. The OM cohort year is 2010-11. The full-year cohortcoverage period is July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011.

• Institutions will establish their OM cohorts based on their subcohorts of entering Pell Grant recipients andNon-Pell Grant recipients. Institutions should first identify their entering degree/certificate-seekingundergraduates during the cohort coverage period of July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011, and place each student inthe appropriate subcohort. Each student should be reported only once.

• All institutions are required to report transfer-out student data.

• For each status point, institutions will report the highest type of award conferred to a student for eachsubcohort. The three award categories are certificates, Associate's degree, and Bachelor's degree.

• Institutions should report exclusions for the entire eight year period only on the "Establishing Cohorts" screen.Additional exclusions cannot be reported on the status point screens (i.e., four-years, six-years, or eight-years after entry).

• IPEDS will ask for an estimated time it took to complete the OM component. Include in that estimate the timeto review instructions, research data sources (i.e., coordinate with IT and Student Aid offices), complete andreview the component, and submit the data.

Important Dates to Remember:

All reporting institutions will report on degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates who entered the 2010-11 cohort year:(July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011).

• Four-year status point was as of August 31, 2014

• Six-year status point was as of August 31, 2016

• Eight-year status point was as of August 31, 2018 Reporting Tips:

Carefully read each OM FAQ before reporting your institution's data. There are FAQs regarding the major updates toOM 2017-18 collection, such as academic reporters now reporting on a full-year cohort, summer sessions startingprior July 1, reporting awards at different status points, and Pell Grant and Non-Pell Grant recipient subcohorts.

Establishing CohortsEstablishing Cohorts 2010-11 Entering Undergraduate Cohort

(July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011: Full Year)

Directions: Begin by identifying your entering degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates for the full year of July1, 2010 - June 30, 2011. Then report each student under one of the eight subcohorts (Pell or Non-Pell Grant

recipients FTFT, FTPT, NFTFT, NFTPT). Each entering student should be reported only once. The four cohortsand total entering students will be calculated based on your subcohort reporting.

NOTE: Once a student is in the cohort, the student remains in the cohort, even if the student's attendance statuschanges (i.e., full-time to part-time, or vice versa) or if the student drops out, transfers out, or transfers back into theinstitution during the eight-year period. However, institutions can make adjustments to the cohort for allowableexclusions, which include the death of a student, permanent disability, military deployment, or service on an officialchurch mission or with a foreign aid service of the Federal government. Exclusions are for the ENTIRE eight years forthe entering 2010-11 cohort.Degree/Certificate-SeekingUndergraduate Students

OverviewHuman Resources Overview

Welcome to the IPEDS Human Resources (HR) survey component. The HR component collects important informationabout your institution's staff.

Data Reporting Reminders • Report each employee only once. If an employee could be coded in more than one occupation, code the

employee in the occupation that requires the highest level of skill OR if there is no measurable difference inskill requirements, code the employee in the occupation in which they spend the most time.

• Report staff members difficult to categorize in the "Human Resources Survey Evaluation" box at the end ofthe survey.

• Enter data on each displayed screen. If a screen is not applicable, enter at least one zero in a field on thescreen and save before continuing.

• When reporting salary data (applicable to degree-granting institutions only) include all full-time, non-medicalschool, instructional staff - both with and without faculty status.

See the instructions for the Key Reporting Concepts section -- basic reporting concepts that will assist you incompleting the Human Resources survey component.

Resources: • To download the survey materials for this component: Survey Materials

• All staff must now be reported using the new IPEDS occupational categories, which align with the 2018Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes. Additional information and resources can be found in theIPEDS HR/SOC Information Center, including general information about the SOC, the IPEDS/SOCcrosswalk, a SOC Browse Tool, Frequently Asked Questions, and Web Tutorials.

Part E - First-time Bachelor's Cohort Retention Rates (Full-time)Retention Rates

Full-time, First-time Bachelor's Cohort from Fall 2017

Academic reporters determine the cohort and retention as of the institution's official fall reporting date or as ofOctober 15. Program reporters determine the cohort with enrollment any time between August 1 and October31, 2017 and retention based on August 1, 2018.

The retention rate is calculated by the system after clicking "Save" on the screen. Exclusions are subtractedfrom and inclusions are added to the original cohort and the resulting adjusted cohort is used for calculatingthe retention rate. Retention Data Reporting Reminders:

• Include only full-time, first-time bachelor's students in this cohort.• Determine the full-time cohort using Fall 2017 status (e.g. if a student was full-time in Fall 2017, report them in

the full-time cohort regardless of their Fall 2018 status).• If there are no students to report in the cohort, enter zero. Do not leave the field blank.• Report in the exclusions box (line E2a) the number of students from the cohort who left the institution for any of

the following reasons: died or were totally and permanently disabled; to serve in the armed forces (includingthose called to active duty); to serve with a foreign aid service of the Federal Government (e.g. Peace Corps);or to serve on official church missions.

• Report in the inclusion box (line E2b) first-time bachelor’s-seeking study abroad students who were excludedfrom the first-time cohort (line E1) but who have re-enrolled at the institution their second year.

Student-to-faculty ratio 19 to 1 Student-to-faculty ratio prior year 13 to 1

You may use the space below to provide context for the data you've reported above.These context notes will be posted on the College Navigator website, and should be written to be understoodby students and parents. An increase in the number of part-time students, and a decrease in thenumber of full-time faculty, has resulted in a higher student-to-faculty ratiothan we have had for several years. If limited to only students who attendthe physical facilities of the institution (as opposed to dual credit highschool student taking college courses at their high schools), the student-to-faculty ratio becomes a much lower 14 to 1.

Admissions data are collected for the current fall reporting period. Dataare collected on admissions requirements, the number of applicants, admitted students, the number ofadmitted students that subsequently enrolled, and percentiles for ACT and SAT test scores. The number ofapplicants, admitted, and enrolled students is disaggregated by gender; enrolled students are furtherdisaggregated by part-time and full-time status.

Calculation of FTE students(using fall studentheadcounts)

The number of FTE students is calculated based on fall student headcounts as reported by the institution onthe IPEDS Enrollment (EF) component (Part A). The full-time equivalent (headcount) of the institution's part-time enrollment is estimated by multiplying the factors noted below times the part-time headcount. These arethen added to the full-time enrollment headcounts to obtain an FTE for all students enrolled in the fall. Thisformula is used to produce an FTE that is used annually in the Digest of Education Statistics.

• Part-time undergraduate enrollment◦ Public 4-year (.403543)◦ Private (not-for-profit and for-profit) 4-year (.392857)◦ Public 2-year and <2-year (.335737)◦ All other institutions (.397058)

• Part-time graduate enrollment◦ Public 4-year (.361702)◦ Private (not-for-profit and for-profit) 4-year (.382059)

Calculation of FTE students(using instructional activity)

The number of FTE students is calculated based on the credit and/or contact hours reported by the institutionon the IPEDS 12-month enrollment (E12) component and the institution's calendar system, as reported on theIC Header component. The following table indicates the level of instructional activity used to convert the creditand/or contact hours reported to an indicator of full-time equivalents (FTE students): - Quarter calendar system - Enrollment level (One FTE over 12-month period) -Undergraduate 45 credit hours, 900 contact hours -Graduate 36 credit hours - Semester/trimester/4-1-4 plan/other calendar system -Enrollment level (one FTE over 12-month period) -Undergraduate 30 credit hours 900 contact hours -Graduate 24 credit hoursFor institutions with continuous enrollment programs, FTE is determined by dividing the number of contacthours attempted by 900.

The total 12-month FTE is generated by summing the estimated or reported undergraduate FTE and theestimated or reported graduate FTE and reported Doctor's Professional Practice FTE.

Calendar system The method by which an institution structures most of its courses for the academic year.

Capital appropriationsNonoperating revenues appropriated to a GASB institution by a government with the requirement that thefunds be used primarily to acquire, construct, or improve capital assets, including buildings, land, equipment,and similar capital assets.

Tangible or intangible assets that are capitalized under an institution's capitalization policy; some of theseassets are subject to depreciation and some are not. These assets consist of land and land improvements,buildings, building improvements, machinery, equipment, infrastructure, and all other assets that are used inoperations and that have initial useful lives extending beyond one year. Capital assets also include collectionsof works of art and historical treasure and library collections; however under certain conditions such collectionsmay not be capitalized.

Excluded are assets that are part of endowmentfunds or other capital fund investments in real estate.

Capital grants and giftsRevenues of a GASB institution, other than capital appropriations, where a funding source external to theinstitution specifies that they be used primarily to acquire, construct, or improve capital assets. Includes giftsdesignated for a capital project.

Capital leases

Capital assets acquired under lease arrangement, as provided in FASB Statement No. 13 (applicable to bothFASB and GASB institutions). These are leases where the institution in substance acquires the capital assetor the right to use it for most or all of its economic life through a lease arrangement. FASB standards requireinstitutions to recognize such assets in their financial statements and also to recognize the lease paymentobligations as liabilities. The lease is basically considered a form of financing used to acquire the capital asset.

Capital outlay The cost of acquiring plant assets, adding to plant assets, and adding utility to plant assets for more than oneaccounting period.

Capitalize To place in service as a long-term asset. These assets are expected to be used by the institution for a periodin excess of one year (e.g., land, buildings or patents).

Carl D. Perkins Vocationaland Technical Education Act

The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-332) was signed into law onOctober 31, 1998 and became effective on July 1, 1999. Its purpose is to improve vocational and technicaleducation programs. The primary focus is to develop challenging academic standards and promote thedevelopment of activities that integrate academic and vocational and technical instruction. The Act alsooutlines various opportunities for states and local areas to integrate vocational education and workforceinvestment systems. However, new and strict barriers are placed on linkages between vocational educationand School-to-Work programs.


An institutional classification coding structure developed by the Andrew W. Carnegie Foundation for theAdvancement of Teaching. The 2000 Carnegie Classification categorizes selected institutions as:

• Doctoral/Research Universities-Extensive• Doctoral/Research Universities-Intensive• Master's Colleges and Universities I• Master's Colleges and Universities II• Baccalaureate Colleges-Liberal Arts• Baccalaureate Colleges-General• Baccalaureate/Associate's Colleges• Associate's Colleges• Specialized Institutions:

◦ Theological seminaries and other specialized faith-related institutions◦ Medical schools and medical centers◦ Other separate health profession schools◦ Schools of engineering and technology◦ Schools of business and management◦ Schools of art, music, and design◦ Schools of law◦ Teachers colleges◦ Other specialized institutions

• Tribal Colleges and Universities

Carnegie Classification2005: Basic classification

The Basic Classification is an update of the traditional classification framework developed by the CarnegieCommission on Higher Education in 1970 to support its research program, and later published in 1973 for useby other researchers. Although this classification has undergone many changes over the years, the currentrelease involves some significant changes from previous editions. For a complete description and technicaldetails visit the Carnegie Foundation Website at http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/classifications

Carnegie Classification2005: Enrollment profileclassification

This classification describes the overall student population, by grouping institutions according to the mix ofstudents enrolled at the undergraduate and graduate/professional levels. Exclusively undergraduateinstitutions are further broken down by level (two-year and four-year). For institutions with both undergraduateand graduate/professional students, institutions are grouped according to the distribution of full-time equivalentstudents across the two levels, giving an approximate measure of the student population's "center of gravity."As a result, it reflects important differences with respect to educational mission as well as institutional climateand culture-differences that can have implications for infrastructure, services, and resource allocation. For acomplete description and technical details visit the Carnegie Foundation Website athttp://www.carnegiefoundation.org/classifications

Carnegie Classification2005: Graduate instructionalprogram

As a companion to the Undergraduate Instructional Program classification, this classification examines thenature of graduate education, with a special focus on the mix of graduate programs. In this classification, asingle graduate-level degree qualifies an institution for inclusion. The classification is based on the level ofgraduate degrees awarded master's/professional or doctoral), the number of fields represented by the degreesawarded, and the mix or concentration of degrees by broad disciplinary domain. The classification has twoparts: one for institutions that do not award the doctorate, and one for doctoral-level institutions (based on therecord of degree conferrals, not program offerings). Within each group, institutions are then classified withrespect to the breadth of graduate offerings and the concentration of degrees in certain fields or combinationsof fields. For a complete description and technical details visit the Carnegie Foundation Website athttp://www.carnegiefoundation.org/classifications

Carnegie Classification2005: Size and settingclassification

This classification describes institutions' size and residential character. Because residential character appliesto the undergraduate student body, exclusively graduate/professional institutions are not included. For acomplete description and technical details visit the Carnegie Foundation Website athttp://www.carnegiefoundation.org/classifications

Carnegie Classification2005: Undergraduateinstructional program

The instructional program classification is based on three pieces of information: the level of undergraduatedegrees awarded (associate's or bachelor's), the proportion of bachelor's degree majors in the arts andsciences and in professional fields, and the extent to which an institution awards graduate degrees in thesame fields in which it awards undergraduate degrees. The distinction between arts and sciences andprofessional undergraduate majors is one that has been made in the Classification since 1987 (but only forundergraduate colleges), and researchers and others in the higher education community have made similardistinctions. The previous analysis has been extended and elaborated by (1) applying it to almost allbaccalaureate-level institutions, (2) making finer distinctions along the arts and sciences - professionscontinuum, and (3) recognizing a "middle ground" where the two domains exist in relative balance with respectto graduating students' major concentrations. For a complete description and technical details visit theCarnegie Foundation Website at http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/classifications

Carnegie Classification2005: Undergraduate profile

This classification describes the undergraduate population with respect to three characteristics: the proportionwho attend part- or full-time; achievement characteristics of first-year students; and the proportion of enteringstudents who transfer in from another institution. Each of these captures important differences in the nature ofthe undergraduate population. They do not imply differences in the quality of undergraduate education, butthey have implications for how an institution serves its students.

Credit hour activity The provision of coursework to students which can be measured in terms of credit hours.

Current assets

Assets that are reasonably expected to be realized in cash or sold or consumed during the next normaloperating cycle (normally one year) of the institution. Liquidity or nearness to cash is not the basis forclassifying assets as current or non-current; thus cash or investments intended for liquidation of liabilities duebeyond the one-year period would not be current assets.

Beginning with 2013-14, GASB Statements 63 and 65 required institutions to display deferred inflows andoutflows on their Statement of Net Position. Thus in the 2013-14(FY13) through the 2015-16(FY15)collections, current assets included deferred outflows of resources. Beginning with 2016-17 (FY16), deferredoutflows was collected separately from current assets.

Current liabilities

Liabilities whose liquidation is reasonably expected to require the use of resources classified as current assetsor the creation of other current liabilities within the next year. May include accounts payable, accrued salariesand wages, deferred revenues, and long term debt current portion, among others.

Beginning with 2013-14, GASB Statements 63 and 65 required institutions to display deferred inflows andoutflows of resources on their Statement of Net Position. Thus from 2013-14 (FY13) to 2015-16 (FY15), totalcurrent liabilities included deferred inflows. Beginning with FY16, deferred inflows was collected separatelyfrom total current liabilities.

Current replacement valueThe estimated current cost to replace all buildings owned by the institution. It represents recent appraisalvalue or what is currently carried as insurance replacement value, but does not include the replacementvalues of those buildings which are a part of endowment or other capital fund investments in real estate.

Examples ofdeferred inflows are the difference in a debt refunding between reacquisition and net carrying amount of theold debt, upfront payments in service concession arrangements, and change in fair values in hedginginstruments.

Deferred outflows ofresources

A consumption of net assets by a government that is applicable to future periods. Examples of deferredoutflows of resources include changes in fair values in hedging instruments and changes in the net pensionliability that are not considered pension expense (as described in GASB Statement 68, Accounting andFinancial Reporting for Pensions: an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27).

Discovery system

A discovery system product consists of an interface directed toward the users of a library to find materials in itscollections and subsequently to gain access to items of interest through the appropriate mechanisms.Discovery systems tend to be independent from the specific applications that libraries implement to manageresources, such as integrated library systems, library services platforms, repository platforms, or electronicresource management systems. In most cases they provide access to multiple types of materials,independently of the management platform involved. Discovery systems provide an interface with search andretrieval capabilities, often with features such as relevancy-based ordering of search results, facets presentedthat can be selected to narrow results according to specific categories, contributors, or date ranges, and toolsto identify related materials or to refine search queries. Examples of discovery systems can be found athttp://librarytechnology.org/discovery/.

Employees by AssignedPosition (EAP)

This data, now part of the Human Resources (HR) component of IPEDS, was previously a separate collection.It was instituted in 2001-02 as a response to a proposal by the National Postsecondary Education Cooperativefocus group on faculty and staff. It allows institutions to "assign" all faculty and staff to distinct categories. TheEAP collects information on all employees on the institution's payroll as of November 1 of the reporting year,by full- and part-time status; by function or occupational category; and by faculty status and tenure status.Institutions with medical schools are required to report their medical school employees separately.(Term used in IPEDS HR survey component prior to 2012-13)

The sites are not considered to be temporary, but may be rentedor made available to the institution at no cost by another institution or an organization, agency, or firm.

Extension division

A unit of the institution that provides institutional services including the planning, organization, and delivery ofextended campus offerings. To carry out these activities, it generally maintains its own enrollment, personnel,and financial records separate from those of the main institution (although an institution may include theserecords in its own institutional data base). It does not grant either degree-credit or degrees , but these may beawarded by the institution for instruction provided through the extension division.

Faculty

Persons identified by the institution as such and typically those whose initial assignments are made for thepurpose of conducting instruction, research or public service as a principal activity (or activities). They mayhold academic rank titles of professor, associate professor, assistant professor, instructor, lecturer or theequivalent of any of those academic ranks. Faculty may also include the chancellor/president, provost, viceprovosts, deans, directors or the equivalent, as well as associate deans, assistant deans and executiveofficers of academic departments (chairpersons, heads or the equivalent) if their principal activity is instructioncombined with research and/or public service. The designation as "faculty" is separate from the activities towhich they may be currently assigned. For example, a newly appointed president of an institution may also beappointed as a faculty member. Graduate, instruction, and research assistants are not included in thiscategory.

Faculty Status

A status designated by the institution according to the institution's policies. "Faculty" may include staff withacademic appointments (instruction, research, public service) and other staff members who are appointed asfaculty members. The designation "faculty" is separate from the activities to which the staff members arecurrently assigned. For example, a president, provost, or librarian may also be appointed as a faculty member.For IPEDS reporting, graduate assistants do not have faculty status.

Fall cohortThe group of students entering in the fall term established for tracking purposes. For the Graduation Ratescomponent, this includes all students who enter an institution as full-time, first-time degree or certificate-seeking undergraduate students during the fall term of a given year.

Fall Enrollment (EF)

This annual component of IPEDS collects data on the number of students enrolled in the fall at postsecondaryinstitutions. Students reported are those enrolled in courses creditable toward a degree or other formal award;students enrolled in courses that are part of a vocational or occupational program, including those enrolled inoff-campus or extension centers; and high school students taking regular college courses for credit.Institutions report annually the number of full- and part-time students, by gender, race/ethnicity, and level(undergraduate, graduate, first-professional); the total number of undergraduate entering students (first-time,full-and part-time students, transfer-ins, and non-degree students); and retention rates. In even-numberedyears, data are collected for state of residence of first-time students and for the number of those students whograduated from high school or received high school equivalent certificates in the past 12 months. Also in even-numbered years, 4-year institutions are required to provide enrollment data by gender, race/ethnicity, and levelfor selected fields of study. In odd-numbered years, data are collected for enrollment by age category bystudent level and gender.

Fall Staff (S)

This data, now part of the IPEDS Human Resources (HR) component, was previously a separate collection.Only institutions with 15 or more full-time employees are required to report annually (prior to 2016-17, datawas collected biennially, for odd-numbered years). Institutions report the numbers of full- and part-timeemployees as of November 1 of the reporting year; full-time faculty by contract length and salary classintervals; number of other persons employed full-time by primary occupational activity and salary classintervals; part-time employees by primary occupational activity; tenure of full-time faculty by academic rank;and new hires by primary occupational activity. Most data are provided by race/ethnicity and gender. Prior to2001, this collection also requested the number of persons donating (contributing) services or contracted forby the institution. Between 1987 and 1991, the Fall Staff data were collected in cooperation with the U.S.Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Beginning in 1993, all schools formerly surveyed byEEOC (using the EEO-6 survey form) reported through IPEDS Fall Staff.(Term used in IPEDS HR survey component prior to 2012-13)

Fall term The part of the academic year that begins between late August and November 1.

The Supplementary EducationalOpportunity Grants (SEOG) are made directly to institutions of higher education, which select students for theawards.

Federal Work Study (FWS)

A part-time work program awarding on- or off-campus jobs to students who demonstrate financial need. FWSpositions are primarily funded by the government, but are also partially funded by the institution. FWS isawarded to eligible students by the college as part of the student's financial aid package. The maximum FWSaward is based on the student's financial need, the number of hours the student is able to work, and theamount of FWS funding available at the institution. This is a type of Title IV Aid, but is not considered grant aidto students.

Fellowships These are grants-in-aid and trainee stipends to graduate students. Fellowships do not include funds for whichservices to the institution must be rendered, such as payments for teaching, or loans.

FICE (Federal InteragencyCommittee on Education)code

A 6-digit identification code originally created by the Federal Interagency Committee on Education (FICE). Thecode was used to identify all schools doing business with the Office of Education during the early sixties. Thiscode is no longer used in IPEDS; it has been replaced by the Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) IDcode.

Fiduciary funds

Resources held and administered by the institution when it is acting in a capacity for individuals, privateorganizations, or governments. These are funds the institution holds in a trustee or agency capacity for othersand the funds therefore cannot be used to support the institution's own programs . Included are pension (andother employee benefit) trust funds, investment trust funds, private-purpose trust funds, and agency funds(i.e., agency transactions). Fiduciary funds are not included in the entity-wide financial statements of GASBorganizations, but are reported separately as supplementary information.

Finance (F)

This annual component of IPEDS collects data that describe the financial condition of postsecondaryeducation in the nation. These data are used to monitor changes in postsecondary education finance and topromote research involving institutional financial resources and expenditures. Specific data elements includesuch items as institutional revenues by source (e.g., tuition and fees, government, private gifts); institutionalexpenditures by function (e.g., instruction, research, plant maintenance and operation); physical plant assetsand indebtedness; and endowment investments. Institutions may use different survey forms depending on thecontrol of institution (e.g. public, private non-profit, or private for-profit) and the accounting standards followedby the institution (e.g. FASB or GASB).

Financial aidFederal Work Study, grants, loans to students (government and/or private), assistantships, scholarships,fellowships, tuition waivers, tuition discounts, employer aid (tuition reimbursement) and other monies (otherthan from relatives/friends) provided to students to meet expenses. This excludes loans to parents.

First-professional

The use of this term was discontinued in IPEDS as of the 2010-11 data collection, when use of the newpostbaccalaureate award categories became mandatory.May refer to a degree, certificate, or level of student.A first-professional degree was an award that required completion of a program that met all of the followingcriteria: (1) completion of the academic requirements to begin practice in the profession; (2) at least 2 years ofcollege work prior to entering the program; and (3) a total of at least 6 academic years of college work tocomplete the degree program, including prior required college work plus the length of the professionalprogram itself. First-professional degrees may be awarded in the following 10 fields:

• Chiropractic (D.C. or D.C.M.)• Dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.)• Law (L.L.B., J.D.)• Medicine (M.D.)• Optometry (O.D.)• Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.)• Pharmacy (Pharm.D.)• Podiatry (D.P.M., D.P., or Pod.D.)• Theology (M.Div., M.H.L., B.D., or Ordination)• Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.)

A first-professional certificate was an award that required completion of an organized program of studydesigned for persons who had completed the first-professional degree. Examples could be refresher coursesor additional units of study in a specialty or subspecialty.A first-professional student was a student enrolled in one of these programs.The 12-month FTE for first-professional students was calculated using the unduplicated headcounts reportedon the 12-month enrollment component. Since the 12-month unduplicated headcounts do not differentiatebetween full-time and part-time students, an estimation was used. The ratio of full-time to part-time first-professional students from the previous collection year fall enrollment (which corresponds to the sameacademic year students) was calculated, and this ratio was applied to the 12-month unduplicated headcount.Adding the resulting full-time and one-third part-time student estimates results in the FTE for first-professionalstudents.

First-time student(undergraduate)

A student who has no prior postsecondary experience (except as noted below) attending any institution for thefirst time at the undergraduate level. This includes students enrolled in academic or occupational programs. Italso includes students enrolled in the fall term who attended college for the first time in the prior summer term,and students who entered with advanced standing (college credits or postsecondary formal award earnedbefore graduation from high school).

First-year student A student who has completed less than the equivalent of 1 full year of undergraduate work; that is, less than30 semester hours (in a 120-hour degree program) or less than 900 contact hours .

Fixed assets

Assets that cannot readily be turned into cash without disrupting the operation of the institution. Fixed assetsinclude intangible assets consisting of certain nonmaterial rights and benefits of an institution, such as patents,copyrights, trademarks and goodwill.

Focus institutionThe term used in the IPEDS Peer Analysis System to identify the postsecondary institution that is beingcompared to other institutions (peers) or that is the basis for any statistical reports generated within thesystem.

Four-year institutionA postsecondary institution that offers programs of at least 4 years duration or one that offers programs at orabove the baccalaureate level. Includes schools that offer postbaccalaureate certificates only or those thatoffer graduate programs only. Also includes free-standing medical, law or other first-professional schools.

Freshman A first-year undergraduate student. First-year student

Fringe benefits

Cash contributions in the form of supplementary or deferred compensation other than salary. Excludes theemployee's contribution. Employee fringe benefits include retirement plans, social security taxes,medical/dental plans, guaranteed disability income protection plans, tuition plans, housing plans,unemployment compensation plans, group life insurance plans, worker's compensation plans, pension, andother benefits in-kind with cash options.

FTE of studentsThe full-time equivalent (FTE) of students is a single value providing a meaningful combination of full-time andpart-time students. IPEDS data products currently have two calculations of FTE students, one using fallstudent headcounts and the other using 12-month instructional activity.

Calculation of FTEstudents (using fallstudent headcounts)

Calculation of FTEstudents (usinginstructional activity)

FTE staff The full-time-equivalent (FTE) of staff is calculated by summing the total number of full-time staff from theEmployees by Assigned Position (EAP) component and adding one-third of the total number of part-time staff.

Full aid yearFor the purposes of the IPEDS Student Financial Aid (SFA) component, full aid year refers to either theacademic year (for academic reporters) or the period between September 1 and August 31 (for programreporters).

Full-time staff (employees)As defined by the institution. The type of appointment at the snapshot date determines whether an employeeis full-time or part-time. The employee's term of contract is not considered in making the determination of full-or part-time.

Full-time studentUndergraduate: A student enrolled for 12 or more semester credits, or 12 or more quarter credits, or 24 ormore contact hours a week each term. Graduate: A student enrolled for 9 or more semester credits, or 9 ormore quarter credits, or a student involved in thesis or dissertation preparation that is considered full-time bythe institution. Doctor's degree - Professional practice - as defined by the institution.

Credit

Full-year cohort

This is a group of students entering at any time during the 12-month period for tracking and reporting.For Graduation Rate (GR), a full-year cohort is from September 1 through August 31 and is used primarily byinstitutions that offer occupational programs of varying lengths. Students must be full-time and first-time to beconsidered in the cohort. For Outcome Measures (OM) component, all degree-granting institutions report on afull-year cohort from July 1 through June 30. Students are reported once in one of the four OM cohorts: first-time, full-time; first-time, part-time: non-first-time, full-time; or non-first-time, part-time.

Functional ExpenseA functional expense classification is a method of grouping expenses according to the purpose for which thecosts are incurred. The classifications tell why an expense was incurred rather than what was purchased.(NACUBO FARM section 700)

Funds functioning asendowment (quasi-endowment funds)

Funds established by the governing board to function like an endowment fund but which may be totallyexpended at any time at the discretion of the governing board. These funds represent nonmandatory transfersfrom the current fund rather than a direct addition to the endowment fund, as occurs for the true endowmentcategories.

Gains

Increases in the institution's net assets from peripheral or incidental transactions. This is in contrast torevenues, which occur from the institution's ongoing major or central operations. Whether a transactiongenerates revenue or a gain depends on the relationship of the transaction to the institution's activities. Forexample, the sale of computers by a college store might be part of ongoing central activities, while the sale ofsurplus computers from administrative offices might be considered otherwise.

GASB (GovernmentalAccounting StandardsBoard)

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) establishes accounting standards for local and stateentities including governmental colleges and universities.

GASB governmental modelusing standards prior toGASB 34 & 35

Prior to adopting the GASB model using GASB 34 and 35, some governmental colleges and universities usedthe "governmental model" of financial reporting. This reporting model and standards, followed primarily bysome institutions with taxing authority, used the same financial reporting standards as state and localgovernments.

GASB model using GASB34 & 35

GASB Statements 34 and 35 require all governmental colleges and universities to issue financial statementsusing the reporting model and standards of those statements.

Prior to2007, institutions who offered athletically-related student aid were asked to report, by sport, the number ofstudents receiving aid and whether they completed within 150 percent of normal time to completion. Now,these institutions only need to report a URL where the athletic data is located on their website, when available.GR automatically generates worksheets that calculate rates, including average rates over 4 years.

An occupational category based on the following three major groups in the 2018 Standard OccupationalClassification (SOC) Manual: 1) Farming, Fishing, and Forestry Occupations(https://www.bls.gov/soc/2018/major_groups.htm#45-0000); 2) Construction and Extraction Occupations(https://www.bls.gov/soc/2018/major_groups.htm#47-0000); and 3) Installation, Maintenance, and RepairOccupations (https://www.bls.gov/soc/2018/major_groups.htm#49-0000).

Net AssetsThe excess of assets over liabilities or the residual interest in the institution's assets remaining after liabilitiesare deducted. The change in net assets results from revenues, gains, expenses, and losses. FASB institutionsclassify net assets into three categories: permanently restricted, temporarily restricted, and unrestricted. Thisterm is similar to the "Net position" term used by GASB institutions.

Net deferred tax asset

A deferred tax asset is recognized for temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in futureyears and for carryforwards. For example, a temporary difference is created between the reported amount andthe tax basis of a liability for estimated expenses if, for tax purposes, those estimated expenses are notdeductible until a future year. Settlement of that liability will result in tax deductions in future years, and adeferred tax asset is recognized in the current year for the reduction in taxes payable in future years. Avaluation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not thatsome portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Net deferred tax liability

A deferred tax liability is recognized for temporary differences that will result in taxable amounts in futureyears. For example, a temporary difference is created between the reported amount and the tax basis of aninstallment sale receivable if, for tax purposes, some or all of the gain on the installment sale will be includedin the determination of taxable income in future years. Because amounts received upon recovery of thatreceivable will be taxable, a deferred tax liability is recognized in the current year for the related taxes payablein future years.

Net grant aid to students(expenses)

The portion of scholarships and fellowships granted by an institution that exceeds the amount applied toinstitutional charges such as tuition and fees or room and board. The amount reported as expense excludesallowances.

Net incomeThe final figure in the income statement when revenues exceed expenses.

For for-profit institutions, this figure is net of gains and losses.

Net loss The final figure in the income statement when expenses exceed revenues.

Net position The excess of assets over liabilities or the residual interest in the institution's assets remaining after liabilitiesare deducted. The change in net position results from revenues, gains, expenses, and losses. GASBinstitutions classify net position into three categories: invested in capital, net of related debt; restricted (withseparate displays of restricted-expendable and restricted-nonexpendable net assets); and unrestricted. Netposition beginning with the 2013-14 collection includes deferred inflows and outflows of resources, per changefrom GASB Statement 63 and 65. This term is similar to the "Net assets" term used by FASB institutions.

Net price

The Higher Education Act, as amended (2008), defines institutional net price as "the average yearly priceactually charged to first-time, full-time undergraduate students receiving student aid at an institution of highereducation after deducting such aid." In IPEDS, average institutional net price is generated by subtracting theaverage amount of federal, state/local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total costof attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district orin-state for public institutions), books and supplies, and the weighted average for room and board and otherexpenses. Cost of attendance data are collected in the Institutional Characteristics (IC) component of IPEDS,and financial aid data are collected in the Student Financial Aid (SFA) component of IPEDS.

Noncredit course A course or activity having no credit applicable toward a degree, diploma, certificate, or other formal award.

Noncurrent assets

Assets that are not reasonably expected to be realized in cash or sold or consumed during the next normaloperating cycle (normally one year) of the institution. Liquidity or nearness to cash is not the basis fordetermining classification as current or noncurrent. Thus cash investments intended for liquidation of liabilitiesdue beyond the one-year period are noncurrent assets, as would assets segregated for the liquidation of long-term debts (including amounts due within the next operating cycle). Assets designated to be used to acquire,construct, or improve capital assets would be noncurrent.

Noncurrent liabilities

Liabilities whose liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of resources classified as currentassets or the creation of other current liabilities within the next year. This includes the noncurrent portion oflong-term debt and long-term accrued liabilities (such as for compensated absences, claims and judgments,and post-employment/post-retirement benefits); liability for refundable advances to the federal government forthe Perkins Loan Program and similar loan programs; and debt due within the next operating cycle, if paymentwill be made from segregated assets classified as noncurrent assets.

Nonoperating

GASB requires that revenues and expenses be separated between operating and nonoperating. Operatingrevenues and expenses result from providing goods and services. Nonoperating activities are those outsidethe activities that are part of the operating activities of the institution. Most government appropriations arenonoperating because they are not generated by the operations of the institution. Investment income isnonoperating in most instances because institutions are not engaged in investing as an operating activity. Giftsare defined as nonoperating. Nonexchange transactions generate nonoperating revenues.
