NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS

What Is IPEDS?

The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of survey components that collects data from about 7,500 institutions that provide postsecondary education across the United States. IPEDS collects institution-level data on students (enrollment and graduation rates), student charges, program completions, faculty, staff, and finances.

These data are used at the federal and state level for policy analysis and development; at the institutional level for benchmarking and peer analysis; and by students and parents, through the Navigator (http://collegenavigator.ed.gov), to aid in the college search process. For more information about IPEDS, see http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds.

What Is the Purpose of This Report?

The Data Feedback Report is intended to provide institutions a context for examining the data they submitted to IPEDS. Our goal is to produce a report that is useful to institutional executives and that may help improve the quality and comparability of IPEDS data.

What Is in This Report?

The figures provided in this report are those suggested by the IPEDS Technical Review Panel. They were developed to provide selected indicators and data elements for your institution and a comparison group of institutions. The figures are based on data collected during the 2012-13 IPEDS collection cycle and are the most recent data available. Additional information about these indicators is provided in the Methodological Notes at the end of the report. On the next page is a list of the institutions in your comparison group and the criteria used for their selection. Please refer to "Comparison Group" in the Methodological Notes for more information.

Where Can I Do More with IPEDS Data?

The Customize Data Feedback Report functionality of the IPEDS Data Center is designed to provide campus executives easy access to institutional and comparison group data. Using this functionality, you can produce reports using different comparison groups and access a wider range of IPEDS variables. The Data Center can be accessed at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter.

Centenary College Hackettstown, NJ IPEDS DATA FEEDBACK REPORT

COMPARISON GROUP

Comparison group data are included to provide a context for interpreting your institution’s statistics. If your institution did not define a Custom Comparison Group for this report by July 15, NCES selected a comparison group for you. (In this case, the characteristics used to define the comparison group appears below.) The Customize DFR functionality on the IPEDS Data Center (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter/) can be used to reproduce the figures in this report using different peer groups.

Centenary College 6 IPEDS DATA FEEDBACK REPORT

METHODOLOGICAL NOTES

Overview Cohort Determination for Reporting Student Financial Aid and Graduation Rates This report is based on data supplied by institutions to IPEDS during the 2012-13 data collection year. Response rates exceeded 99 percent for Student cohorts for reporting Student Financial Aid and Graduation Rates most surveys. Detailed response tables are included in IPEDS First Look data are based on the reporting type of the institution. For institutions that reports, which can be found at report based on an academic year (those operating on standard academic http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/getpubcats.asp?sid=010. terms), student counts and cohorts are based on fall term data. Student counts and cohorts for program reporters (those that do not operate on Use of Median Values for Comparison Group standard academic terms) are based on unduplicated counts of students enrolled during a full 12-month period.

The value for the comparison institution is compared to the median value for the comparison group for each statistic included in the figure. If more Description of Statistics Used in the Figures than one statistic is presented in a figure, the median values are determined separately for each indicator or statistic. Medians are not Average Institutional Net Price reported for comparison groups with fewer than three values. Where percentage distributions are presented, median values may not add to 100 percent.

For public institutions, this includes only students Missing Statistics who paid the in-state or in-district tuition rate. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state/local government, and institutional grant and If a statistic is not reported for your institution, the omission indicates that scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance.

Use of Imputed Data For the purpose of the IPEDS reporting, aid received refers to financial aid that was awarded to, and accepted by, a student. This amount may differ from the aid amount that is disbursed to a student. All IPEDS data are subject to imputation for total (institutional) and partial (item) nonresponse. If necessary, imputed values were used to prepare your report. Core Revenues

At degree-granting institutions, core revenues exclude revenues from auxiliary enterprises (e.g., bookstores, dormitories), hospitals, and independent operations. Nondegree-granting instituions do no report revenue from auxiliary enterprises in a separate category. These amounts may be included in the core revenues from other sources.

Core Expenses

Core expenses include expenses for instruction, research, public service, academic support, institutional support, student services, scholarships and fellowships (net of discounts and allowances), and other expenses. Expenses for operation and maintenance of plant, depreciation, and interest are allocated to each of the other functions.

This includes all first-time undergraduate students, students transferring into the institution at the undergraduate level, and nondegree/certificate-seeking undergraduates entering in the fall. FTE Enrollment Only degree-granting, academic year reporting institutions provide total entering student data. The full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment used in this report is the sum of the institution’s FTE undergraduate enrollment and FTE graduate Tuition and Required Fees enrollment (as calculated from or reported on the 12-month Enrollment component). Undergraduate and graduate FTE are estimated using 12- month instructional activity (credit and/or contact hours).

Institutions are permitted to exclude from the initial cohort students who died or were totally and permanently disabled; those who left school to serve in the armed forces or were called to active duty; those who left to serve with a foreign aid service of the federal government, such as the Peace Corps; and those who left to serve on an official church mission. Transfer-out rate is the total number of students from the cohort who are known to have transferred out of the reporting institution within the same time period, divided by the same adjusted cohort. Only institutions with a mission that includes preparing students to transfer are required to report transfers out.

Retention Rates

Full-time retention rates are defined as the number of full-time, first-time, degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who enter the institution for the first time in the fall and who return to the same institution the following fall (as either full- or part-time), divided by the total number of full- Dr. Barbara Lewthwaite, President time, first-time, degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates in the fall of first Centenary College (ID: 183974) entrance.

For 4-year institutions offering a bachelor’s degree, this rate is reported only for those 400 Jefferson St first-time students seeking a bachelor’s degree. For less than 4-year Hackettstown, NJ 07840 institutions, the rate is calculated for all first-time degree/certificate-seeking students.
