The items in this section correspond to data elements collected by the IPEDS Web-based Data Collection System’s
Graduation Rate Survey (GRS).
• For complete instructions and definitions of data elements, see the IPEDS GRS Forms and
Instructions for the 2023-2024 Survey.
https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/use-the-data/survey-components/9/graduation-rates
In the following section for bachelor’s or equivalent programs, please disaggregate the Fall 2016 and Fall 2017
cohorts (formerly CDS B4-B11) into four groups:
• Students who received a Federal Pell Grant*
• Recipients of a subsidized Stafford Loan who did not receive a Pell Grant
• Students who did not receive either a Pell Grant or a subsidized Stafford Loan
• Total (all students, regardless of Pell Grant or subsidized loan status)
*Students who received both a Federal Pell Grant and a subsidized Stafford Loan should be reported in the
"Recipients of a Federal Pell Grant" column.
For each graduation rate grid below, the numbers in the first three columns for Questions A-G should sum to the
cohort total in the fourth column (formerly CDS B4-B11).

Please refer to the following financial aid definitions when completing Section H.
Note: Suggested order of precedence for counting non-need money as need-based:
1. Non-need institutional grants 6. Non-need outside grants
2. Non-need tuition waivers 7. Non-need student loans
3. Non-need athletic awards 8. Non-need parent loans
4. Non-need federal grants 9. Non-need work
5. Non-need state grants
DO NOT INCLUDE ANY AID RELATED TO THE CARES ACT OR UNIQUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Aid Awarded to Enrolled Undergraduates
H1
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.
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.
• If the data being reported are final figures for the 2022-2023 academic year (see the next item below),
use the 2022-2023 academic year's CDS Question B1 cohort.
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.
H. FINANCIAL AID
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.

I. INSTRUCTIONAL FACULTY AND CLASS SIZE
Please report the number of instructional faculty members in each category for Fall 2023. Include faculty who
are on your institution’s payroll on the census date your institution uses for IPEDS/AAUP.
The following definition of full-time instructional faculty is used by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in its
annual Faculty Compensation Survey (the part time definitions are not used by AAUP). Instructional Faculty is defined as those
members of the instructional-research staff whose major regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for
research. Use the chart below to determine inclusions and exclusions:
Instructional faculty in preclinical and clinical medicine, faculty who are not paid (e.g., those who
donate their services or are in the military), or research-only faculty, post-doctoral fellows, or pre-
doctoral fellows
Administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, librarian, registrar, coach, and the like,
even though they may devote part of their time to classroom instruction and may have faculty status
Other administrators/staff who teach one or more non-clinical credit courses even though they do
not have faculty status
Undergraduate or graduate students who assist in the instruction of courses, but have titles such as
teaching assistant, teaching fellow, and the like
Faculty on sabbatical or leave with pay
Faculty on leave without pay

CLASS
SUB-SECTIONS
In the table below, please use the following definitions to report information about the size of classes and class sections
offered in the Fall 2023 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 2023. 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.

J. Disciplinary areas of DEGREES CONFERRED
For each of the following discipline areas, provide the percentage of diplomas/certificates, associate, and bachelor’s 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 institution’s 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.
