Admitted student: Applicant who is offered admission to a degree-granting program at your institution.

American Indian or Alaska Native: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North America and who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition.

Applicant (first-time, first-year): An individual who has fulfilled the institution's requirements to be considered for admission (including payment or waiving of the application fee, if any) and who has been notified of one of the following actions: admission, non-admission, placement on waiting list, or application withdrawn (by applicant or institution).

Contact Hour: A unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled instruction given to students. Also referred to as clock hour.

Credit Hour: A unit of measure representing an hour (50 minutes) of instruction over a 15-week period in a semester or trimester system or a 10-week period in a quarter system. It is applied toward the total number of hours needed for completing the requirements of a degree, diploma, certificate, or other formal award.

Degree-seeking students: Students enrolled in courses for credit who are recognized by the institution as seeking a degree or formal award. At the undergraduate level, this is intended to include students enrolled in vocational or occupational programs.

B. Graduates: FTE = Total Non-contract Credit* hours/12.00
*Excludes audit hours.

Part-time student (graduate): A student enrolled for fewer than 9 credits per semester or quarter.

Race/ethnicity: Categories developed in 1997 by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that are used to describe groups to which individuals belong, identify with, or belong in the eyes of the community. The categories do not denote scientific definitions of anthropological origins. The designations are used to categorize U.S. citizens, resident aliens, and other eligible non-citizens. Individuals are asked to first designate ethnicity as:

Teaching Loads

Report teaching loads using Fall 2022 (weekly) estimates.

Definitions: For FTE, please use the base credit and/or contact hours (as defined by your institution as full-time) for calculation. Use IPEDS definitions when applicable. Credit hour is defined as a unit of measure representing an hour (50 minutes) of instruction over a 15-week period in a semester or trimester system or a 10-week period in a quarter system. It is applied toward the total number of hours needed for completing the requirements of a degree, diploma, certificate, or other formal award.
