Data is shown by fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) unless otherwise noted. Semesters marked with an * report data based on 30th day record, all other semesters use final record. Quick Facts are based on the ten-day record. In most tables five years of data is shown, however, when the percentage change is measured an additional year of data is used to calculate the five-year change. Every effort is made to ensure that data are accurate, yet data used here may differ slightly from other college and system reports due to the use of different sources, the reporting time period from which the data was collected, dates on which a report was generated, or use of different data definitions/data parameters. Questions about the data in this document should be directed to Institutional Research. Minnesota State Colleges and Universities provides Enrollment and Student Reporting Standards and they are followed where noted beginning with fiscal year (FY) 2012. NOTE: Students who were enrolled exclusively in credit-bearing customized training courses such as ASEP courses numbered 2500 or higher, CHRY courses, and MFGM courses are excluded from the data. Explanation of Sources: DCTC FY 2020 Fact Book Page i Below each table, a source is listed describing where the data in the table originated. The following sources are most frequently used: • Operational Data – This is data obtained from REPL, Minnesota State’s Oracle database. Data were obtained by querying one or more tables. Tables used will be listed where possible. • EPM 11 – This indicates that data was obtained using a query created by Minnesota State Information Technology Services (ITS), which can then be customized by the user to provide institutional-level data. • Enrollment Analytic Tool – This tool is created by the Institutional Research (IR) group at Minnesota State to allow enrollment data to be “cut” according to specified variables, providing more detailed information about student enrollment. • Accountability Framework* – Maintained by Minnesota State IR group. • IPEDS Feedback Reports* – IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System) data are collected, compiled and reported by Minnesota State on a rolling calendar to the IES (Institute of Education Sciences, an agency of the Federal Government), who compiles our data along with that of institutions across the country. *Links to data at end of Fact Book Explanation of Terms: There is a glossary at the end of the Fact Book explaining the terms used that are unique to this kind of data reporting. Beginning in the FY 2017 Fact Book, in response to a Title III Grant focused on serving adult students, age groups have been changed from previous Fact Books to define traditional age students as 18-24 and adult students as 25 and over. All reporting of age groups has been adjusted so that there is a split between students age 24 and 25 to reflect this definition of traditional/adult students. Questions?
