Institutional Characteristics 2013-14

User ID: 29C0011

Overview

Institutional
Characteristics Overview

Welcome to the Institutional
Characteristics (IC) component. This component collects
important information about your institution's mission,
admissions, student services, and student charges.

Much of the data reported on IC appear on
College Navigator. Please
report data correctly, as College Navigator is
only updated one time after IC data have been
reviewed, so errors may stay on the website for a
full year.

Additionally, the
cost of attendance data are used to calculate the
net price of attendance in the Student Financial
Aid component. This has important implications for
what students see about your institution, and also
for the College Affordability and Transparency lists.

Remember, it is the
responsibility of the keyholder to provide NCES with
accurate data about the institution.
Please never hesitate to call the IPEDS Help Desk
and ask for help to make sure that you are
reporting correctly!

Changes to This Year's Institutional
Characteristics Component:

The prior year revision system for
Institutional Characteristics is available ONLY for
admissions data. Changes to cost can ONLY be made in
the Student Financial Aid
component.

Reviews of the IC component data indicate
a number of places where many people make errors.
Please review the common errors listed below to
ensure your institution does not make any
reporting errors which may affect your
institution's appearance to students and others.

Question 2 should only be marked 'YES' if
your institution is EXCLUSIVELY distance
education. Do not mark 'YES' if your
courses/programs are also available in
person.

Do not
try to outsmart fatal errors; this is
falsifying data. Contact the Help Desk if you
need an override, or fix the data.

Make sure
you understand ALL definitions before
responding to questions. For example,
understand what it means to be 'OPEN
ADMISSION' before indicating whether your institution
is or is not 'OPEN ADMISSION' and make sure that
you are reporting for an 'ACADEMIC YEAR' or
'PROGRAM' as defined by IPEDS.

Part B - Admissions and Estimated Enrollment

1. Does your
institution have an open
admission policy for all or most
entering first-time
degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate-level
students?

If the only requirement for
admission is a high school diploma or GED/other
equivalent, your institution is still considered
open admission. Institutions that require only an
Ability to Benefit or similar test beyond the
diploma/equivalent, and only reject a very small
number of students based on the test, are also
considered open admission.

If your institution does not have an open
admission policy, you will be expected to answer
additional questions (B2, B3, and B4) regarding your
admissions procedures and admissions yield.

Yes

No

You may use the space below to provide

Part D - Student Charges Questions

1. Are all full-time,
first-time
degree/certificate-seeking students required to live on
campus or in institutionally-controlled
housing?

If you answer Yes to
this question, you will not be asked to report
off-campus room and board in the price of
attendance (D11).

This is only a
screening question, and your response does not show
up on College Navigator.

If you make any exceptions to
this rule, and have even one first-time, full-time
student living off-campus, please answer No
so that this does not cause conflicts with the
Student Financial Aid survey. Making changes to
the SFA component is very difficult and may lead
to inaccurate reporting for your institution.

No

Yes, and we do not make
ANY (even one) exceptions to this rule

2. Does your
institution charge different tuition
for in-district,
in-state, or
out-of-state
students?

If you answer Yes to
this question, you will be expected to report tuition
amounts for in-district, in-state, and
out-of-state students.

Please only
select Yes if you really charge different
tuition rates, or you will be reporting the same
numbers 3 times.

No

Yes

3. Does your
institution offer institutionally-controlled housing
(either on or off campus)?

If you answer Yes to
this question, you will be expected to specify a
housing capacity, and to report a room charge or a
combined room and board charge (D10).

No

Yes

Specify housing
capacity for academic year 2013-14

4. Do you offer board or meal plans to
your students?

If you answer Yes to
this question, you will be expected to report a board
charge or combined room and board charge
(D10).

No

Yes - Enter the number of
meals per week in the maximum meal plan available

Yes - Number of meals per week
can vary (e.g., students' charge meals against a
