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
student enrollment, 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 College Navigator
(http://collegenavigator.ed.gov), an online tool 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. The purpose of this report is to
provide institutional executives a useful resource and
to help improve the quality and comparability of
IPEDS data.

What Is in This Report?
As suggested by the IPEDS Technical Review Panel,
the figures in this report provide selected indicators
for your institution and a comparison group of
institutions. The figures are based on data collected
during the 2015-16 IPEDS collection cycle and are
the most recent data available. This report provides a
list of pre-selected comparison group institutions and
the criteria used for their selection. Additional
information about these indicators and the preselected comparison group are provided in the
Methodological Notes at the end of the report.

Where Can I Do More with IPEDS Data?
Each institution can access previous Data Feedback
Reports as far back as 2005 and customize this
latest report by using a different comparison group
and IPEDS variables of its choosing. To download
archived reports or customize the current Data
Feedback Report (DFR), please visit our web site at
http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/Home/UseTheData.

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 17, NCES selected a comparison group for you. (In this case, the characteristics used to define the
comparison group appears below.) The Customize Data Feedback Report 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.
The custom comparison group chosen by San Diego Christian College includes the following 12 institutions:
Arizona Christian University (Phoenix, AZ)
Holy Names University (Oakland, CA)
Hope International University (Fullerton, CA)
Life Pacific College (San Dimas, CA)
Marymount California University (Rancho Palos Verdes, CA)
Menlo College (Atherton, CA)
Pacific Union College (Angwin, CA)
Simpson University (Redding, CA)
The Master's University and Seminary (Santa Clarita, CA)
Vanguard University of Southern California (Costa Mesa, CA)
Warner Pacific College (Portland, OR)
William Jessup University (Rocklin, CA)

NOTE: Average salaries of full-time instructional non-medical staff equated to 9-month
contracts was calculated by multiplying the average monthly salary by 9. The average
monthly salary was calculated by dividing the total salary outlays by the total number of
months covered by staff on 9, 10, 11 and 12-month contracts. Medians are not reported
for comparison groups with less than three values.

METHODOLOGICAL NOTES
Overview
This report is based on data supplied by institutions to IPEDS during the 2015-16 data collection year. Response rates exceeded 99% for
most surveys. Detailed response tables are included in IPEDS First Look reports at http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/getpubcats.asp?sid=010.

Use of Median Values for Comparison Group
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 than one statistic is presented in a figure, the median values are determined separately for each indicator or statistic. Medians are not
reported for comparison groups with fewer than three values. Where percentage distributions are presented, median values may not add to
100%. To access all the data used to create the figures included in this report, go to ‘Use the Data’ portal on the IPEDS website
(http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds).

Missing Statistics
If a statistic is not reported for your institution, the omission indicates that the statistic is not relevant to your institution and the data were not
collected. Not all notes may be applicable to your report.

Use of Imputed Data
All IPEDS data are subject to imputation for total (institutional) and partial (item) nonresponse. If necessary, imputed values were used to
prepare your report.

Data Confidentiality
IPEDS data are not collected under a pledge of confidentiality.

Disaggregation of Data by Race/Ethnicity
When applicable, some statistics are disaggregated by race/ethnicity. Data disaggregated by race/ethnicity have been reported using the
1997 Office of Management and Budget categories. Detailed information about the race/ethnicity categories can be found at
http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/reic/resource.asp.

Cohort Determination for Reporting Student Financial Aid and Graduation Rates
Student cohorts for reporting Student Financial Aid and Graduation Rates data are based on the reporting type of the institution. For
institutions that report based on an academic year (those operating on standard academic terms), student counts and cohorts are based on
fall term data. Student counts and cohorts for program reporters (those that do not operate on standard academic terms) are based on
unduplicated counts of students enrolled during a full 12-month period.

DESCRIPTION OF STATISTICS USED IN THE FIGURES
Admissions (only for non-open-admissions schools)
Admissions and Test Score Data
Admissions and test score data are presented only for institutions that do not have an open admission policy, and apply to first-time,
degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students only. Applicants include only those students who fulfilled all requirements for consideration
for admission and who were notified of one of the following actions: admission, non-admission, placement on a wait list, or application
withdrawn (by applicant or institution). Admitted applicants (admissions) include wait-listed students who were subsequently offered
admission. Early decision, early action, and students who began studies during the summer prior to the fall reporting period are included. For
customized Data Feedback Reports, test scores are presented only if they are required for admission.

Student Enrollment
FTE Enrollment
The full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment used in this report is the sum of the institution’s FTE undergraduate enrollment and FTE graduate
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). See “Calculation of FTE Students (using instructional activity)” in the IPEDS
Glossary at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/glossary/.
Total Entering Undergraduate Students
Total entering students are students at the undergraduate level, both full- and part-time, new to the institution in the fall term (or the prior
summer term who returned in the fall). This includes all first-time undergraduate students, students transferring into the institution at the
undergraduate level, and non-degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates entering in the fall. Only degree-granting, academic year reporting
institutions provide total entering student data.

Charges and Net Price
Average Institutional Net Price
Average net price is calculated for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates who were awarded grant or scholarship aid
from the federal government, state/local government, or the institution anytime during the full aid year. For public institutions, this includes
only students 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 scholarship aid from the total cost of
attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books and supplies, and the average room and board
and other expenses.
For the purpose of the IPEDS reporting, aid awarded 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.

Retention and Graduation Rates
Graduation Rates and Transfer-out Rate
Graduation rates are those developed to satisfy the requirements of the Student Right-to-Know Act and Higher Education Act, as amended,
and are defined as the total number of individuals from a given cohort of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates who
completed a degree or certificate within a given percent of normal time to complete all requirements of the degree or certificate program
before the ending status date of August 31, 2014; divided by the total number of students in the cohort of full-time, first-time degree/certificateseeking undergraduates minus any allowable exclusions. Institutions are permitted to exclude from the cohort students who died or were
totally and permanently disabled; those who left school to serve in the armed forces or were called up 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 (without
earning a degree/award) and subsequently re-enrolled at another institution within the same time period; divided by the same adjusted cohort
(initial cohort minus allowable exclusions) as described above. Only institutions with a mission that includes providing substantial preparation
for students to enroll in another eligible institution are required to report transfers out.
Retention Rates
Retention rates are measures at which students persist in their educational program at an institution, expressed as a percentage. For fouryear institutions, this is the percentage of first-time bachelors (or equivalent) degree-seeking undergraduates from the previous fall who are
again enrolled in the current fall. For all other institutions this is the percentage of first-time degree/certificate-seeking students from the
previous fall who either re-enrolled or successfully completed their program by the current fall. The full-time retention rate is calculated using
the percentage of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates, while the part-time rate is calculated using the percentage of
part-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates.

Finance
Core Revenues
Core revenues for public institutions reporting under GASB standards include tuition and fees; state and local appropriations; government
grants and contracts; private gifts, grants, and contracts; sales and services of educational activities; investment income; other operating and

non-operating sources; and other revenues and additions (federal and capital appropriations and grants and additions to permanent
endowments). Core revenues for private, not-for-profit institutions (and a small number of public institutions) reporting under FASB standards
include tuition and fees; government appropriations (federal, state, and local); government grants and contracts; private gifts, grants, and
contracts (including contributions from affiliated entities); investment return; sales and services of educational activities; and other sources.
Core revenues for private, for-profit institutions reporting under FASB standards include tuition and fees; government appropriations, grants,
and contracts (federal, state, and local); private grants and contracts; investment income; sales and services of educational activities; and
other sources. At degree-granting institutions, core revenues exclude revenues from auxiliary enterprises (e.g., bookstores, dormitories),
hospitals, and independent operations. Nondegree-granting institutions 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. Core expenses at degree-granting institutions exclude expenses for
auxiliary enterprises (e.g., bookstores, dormitories), hospitals, and independent operations. Nondegree-granting institutions do not report
expenses for auxiliary enterprises in a separate category. These amounts may be included in the core expenses as other expenses.
Endowment Assets
Endowment assets, for public institutions under GASB standards, and private, not-for-profit institutions under FASB standards, include gross
investments of endowment funds, term endowment funds, and funds functioning as endowment for the institution and any of its foundations
and other affiliated organizations. Private, for-profit institutions under FASB do not hold or report endowment assets.
Salaries, Wages, and Benefits
Salaries, wages, and benefits, for public institutions under GASB standards, and private, not-for-profit institutions under FASB standards,
include amounts paid as compensation for services to all employees regardless of the duration of service, and amounts made to or on behalf
of an individual over and above that received in the form of a salary or wage. Frequently, benefits are associated with an insurance payment.
Private, for-profit institutions under FASB standards do not report salaries.

Staff
FTE Staff
The full-time-equivalent (FTE) of staff is calculated by summing the total number of full-time staff and adding one-third of the total number of
part-time staff. Graduate assistants are not included.
Equated Instructional Non-Medical Staff Salaries
Institutions reported total salary outlays by academic rank and gender, and the number of staff by academic rank, contract length (9-, 10-, 11-,
and 12-month contracts), and gender. The total number of months covered by salary outlays was calculated by multiplying the number of staff
reported for each contract length period by the number of months of the contract, and summing across all contract length periods. The
weighted average monthly salary for each academic rank and gender was calculated by dividing the total salary outlays by the total number of
months covered. The weighted average monthly salary was then multiplied by 9 to determine an equated 9-month salary for each rank.
Student-to-Faculty Ratio
The guidance provided to institutions for calculating their student-to-faculty ratio is as follows: the number of FTE students (using Fall
Enrollment data) divided by the total FTE instructional staff (using the total Primarily instruction + Instruction/research/public service staff
reported on the EAP section of the Human Resources component and adding any not primarily instructional staff that are teaching a credit
course). For this calculation, FTE for students is equal to the number of full-time students plus one-third the number of part-time students;
FTE for instructional staff is similarly calculated. Students enrolled in "stand-alone" graduate or professional programs (such as medicine, law,
veterinary, dentistry, social work, or public health) and instructional staff teaching in these programs are excluded from the FTE calculations.
