not convert SAT scores to ACT scores and vice versa.
If a student submitted multiple sets of scores for a
single test, report this information according to how you use the data. For

If you consider
the highest scores from either submission, use the highest combination of
scores (e.g., verbal from one submission, math from the other).
If you average
the scores, use the average to report the scores.

year refers to the period of time generally extending

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

students must pay that are not included in tuition (e.g.,

H. FINANCIAL AID
Please refer
to the following financial aid definitions when completing Section H.
Awarded aid: The dollar amounts offered to financial aid applicants.
Financial aid applicant: Any applicant who submits any one of the
institutionally required financial aid applications/forms, such as the FAFSA.
Indebtedness: Aggregate dollar amount borrowed through any loan program
(federal, state, subsidized, unsubsidized, private, etc.; excluding parent
loans) while the student was enrolled at an institution. Student loans
co-signed by a parent are assumed to be the responsibility of the student and should
be included.
Institutional scholarships and
grants: Endowed scholarships, annual gifts
and tuition funded grants for which the institution determines the recipient.
Financial need: As determined by your institution using the federal
methodology and/or your institution's own standards.
Need-based aid: College-funded or college-administered award from
institutional, state, federal, or other sources for which a student must have
financial need to qualify. This includes both institutional and non-institutional
student aid (grants, jobs, and loans).
Need-based scholarship or grant
aid: Scholarships and grants from
institutional, state, federal, or other sources for which a student must have
financial need to qualify.
Need-based self-help aid: Loans and jobs from institutional, state, federal,
or other sources for which a student must demonstrate financial need to
qualify.
Non-need-based scholarship or grant
aid: Scholarships and grants, gifts, or
merit-based aid from institutional, state, federal, or other sources (including
unrestricted funds or gifts and endowment income) awarded solely on the basis
of academic achievement, merit, or any other non-need-based reason. When
reporting questions H1 and H2, non-need-based aid that is used to meet need
should be counted as need-based aid.
Note:
Suggested order of precedence for counting non-need money as need-based:
Non-need
institutional grants
Non-need
tuition waivers
Non-need
athletic awards
Non-need
state grants
Non-need
outside grants
Non-need
student loans
Non-need
parent loans
Non-need
work
Non-need-based self-help aid: Loans and jobs from institutional, state, or other sources
for which a student need not demonstrate financial need to qualify.
Private student loans:
A nonfederal loan made by a lender such as a bank, credit union or private
lender used to pay for up to the annual cost of education, less any financial
aid received.
External scholarships and
grants: Scholarships and grants received
from outside (private) sources that students bring with them (e.g., Kiwanis,
National Merit scholarships). The institution may process paperwork to receive
the dollars, but it has no role in determining the recipient or the dollar
amount awarded.
Work study and employment: Federal and state work study aid, and any employment packaged by your
institution in financial aid awards.
Aid Awarded to Enrolled Undergraduates
H1. Enter total dollar amounts awarded to enrolled full-time
and less than full-time degree-seeking undergraduates (using the same
cohort reported in CDS Question B1, total degree-seeking undergraduates)
in the following categories. (Note: If the data being reported are final
figures for the 2018-2019 academic year (see the next item below), use the 2018-2019
academic year's CDS Question B1 cohort.) Include aid awarded to international
students (i.e., those not qualifying for federal aid). Aid that is non-need-based
but that was used to meet need should be reported in the need-based aid
column. (For a suggested order of precedence in assigning categories of aid
to cover need, see the entry for non-need-based scholarship or grant aid on
the last page of the definitions section.)

students and _______ faculty).
I-3. Undergraduate Class Size
In the table below, please use the
following definitions to report information about the size of classes and class
sections offered in the Fall 2019 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 2019. 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.

Degrees conferred between July
1, 2018 and June 30, 2019
For each of the following discipline areas, provide the percentage of diplomas/certificates, associate, and bachelors 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 institutions 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.

Financial Aid Definitions
External scholarships and
grants: Scholarships and grants received
from outside (private) sources that students bring with them (e.g., Kiwanis,
National Merit scholarships). The institution may process paperwork to receive
the dollars, but it has no role in determining the recipient or the dollar
amount awarded.
Financial aid applicant: Any applicant who submits any one of the
institutionally required financial aid applications/forms, such as the FAFSA.
Indebtedness: Aggregate dollar amount borrowed through any loan program
(federal, state, subsidized, unsubsidized, private, etc.; excluding parent
loans) while the student was enrolled at an institution. Student loans
co-signed by a parent are assumed to be the responsibility of the student and should
be included.
Institutional scholarships and
grants: Endowed scholarships, annual gifts
and tuition funded grants for which the institution determines the recipient.
Financial need: As determined by your institution using the federal
methodology and/or your institution's own standards.
Need-based aid: College-funded or college-administered award from
institutional, state, federal, or other sources for which a student must have
financial need to qualify. This includes both institutional and non-institutional

aid: Scholarships and grants from
institutional, state, federal, or other sources for which a student must have
financial need to qualify.

grant aid: Scholarships and grants, gifts,

(including unrestricted funds or gifts and endowment income) awarded solely on
the basis of academic achievement, merit, or any other non-need-based reason.
When reporting questions H1 and H2, non-need-based aid that is used to meet
