GRADUATION RATE SURVEY (FALL 2007/TERM CODE 200802)

DTAE DATACENTER EXTRACTION CRITERIA

I.Primary population:All students enrolled in at least one

credit-level course for the cohort term

who are not 'Audit Only' students.

A.First-time students are those students from the primary cohort that meet the following criteria:

  1. who have no credit-level enrollment records at the same institution prior to the immediate previous summer term, exclusive of credit-level courses taken while a High School student (student type = H)
  2. who have no prior college records on file at the same institution where the activity date is less than the cohort term end date + 1 day (no college data prior to or during the cohort term)
  3. first-time-regular students are those students who meet items 1 and 2, whose student type is a B or an R (Beginning or Returning) and who are not Hurricane Katrina evacuees

4. first-time-other students are those students who meet items 1 and 2, whose student type is an H, A or T and who are not Hurricane Katrina evacuees (needed for Part D)

B. Degree/certificate-seeking students are those students

from the primary cohort that meet the following criteria:

  1. whose major code ends in a value greater than zero
  2. whose student type is a B, R, T or Z(Beginning, Returning, Transfer or Pre-Banner)
  3. whose admit code is not an 18 or a 28 (special admits)

PLEASE NOTE: In order for a student to be considered a first-time, degree/certificate-seeking student, that student must meet the criteria for both IA and IB as listed above!

  1. Section III, Cohort of Full-time, First-time Degree/Certificate

Seeking Students, Cohort Year 2007

All lines are accumulated by sex and race.

  1. Line 10 (Revised cohort of full-time, first-time,

degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students, cohort year

2007):

Count of all students from the primary population:

  1. Who are enrolled in 12 or more credit level hours
  2. Who are flagged as first-time-regular students
  3. Who are flagged as degree-seeking students
  1. Whose first award from the enrollment school of a Certificate, Diploma or Associates Degree since the cohort enrollment term (200802) is within 150% of normal time allowed. 150% of normal time allowed is determined as follows:

When the major code ends in a ‘1’, allow a

total of 8 terms, including the start term.

When the major code ends in a ‘2’, ‘3’ or

‘4’, allow a total of 12 terms, including

the start term.

Using a starting term code of 200802, 150%

of normal time would be:

(200802 + 7 terms = 201001)

OR

(200802 + 11 terms = 201101)

Therefore, the student would be considered

within 150% of normal time if the graduation

term is less than or equal to the computed term.

  1. Line 11A (Completers of Programs of less than 2 years within

150% of normal time):

Count of all students from the Line 10 population:

  1. Whose primary major code ends in a ‘1’, ’2’ or ‘4’

(this is the major code at the time of the initial

enrollment – not necessarily the awarded major).

  1. Whose graduation term code is less than or equal to the 150% of normal time term code (see above).
  1. Line 12A (Completers of Programs of at least 2 but less than 4

years within 150% of normal time):

Count of all students from the Line 10 population:

  1. Whose primary major code ends in a ‘3’

(this is the major code at the time of the initial

enrollment – not necessarily the awarded major).

2. Whose graduation term code is less than or equal to

the 150% of normal time term code (see above).

  1. Lines 30 (Total transfer-out students), 45 (Total Exclusions) and 47 (Students still enrolled in programs of 3 years or longer) are not currently provided.
