Common Data Set 2020-2021

The Purpose of the Common Data Set

The Common Data Set (CDS) was developed through collaboration among publishers of college guides, colleges and universities, representatives of higher education organizations, high school counselors, and the National Center for Education Statistics. Many of the items and definitions in the Common Data Set are being used on the surveys of several major publishers. The goal of CDS is to improve the comparability of data reported by colleges and universities, and to ease each institution's burden by asking questions in a standardized way on numerous surveys.

	Check here if the 2021-2022 academic year costs of attendance are not available at this time and provide an approximate date when your institution's final 2021-2022 academic year costs of attendance will be available



G1	Undergraduate full-time tuition, required fees, room and board List the typical tuition, required fees, and room and board for a full-time undergraduate student for the FULL 2021-2022 academic year (30 semester or 45 quarter hours for institutions that derive annual tuition by multiplying credit hour cost by number of credits). A full academic year refers to the period of time generally extending from September to June; usually equated to two semesters, two trimesters, three quarters, or the period covered by a four-one-four plan. Room and board is defined as double occupancy and 19 meals per week or the maximum meal plan. Required fees include only charges that all full-time students must pay that are not included in tuition (e.g., registration, health, or activity fees.) Do not include optional fees (e.g., parking, laboratory use).

H. Financial Aid

H. FINANCIAL AID

	Please refer to the following financial aid definitions when completing Section H.

	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.
	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
	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.
	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.

	DO NOT INCLUDE ANY AID RELATED TO THE CARES ACT OR UNIQUE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

	Aid Awarded to Enrolled Undergraduates

H1	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 2019-2020 academic year (see the next item below), use the 2019-2020 academic year's CDS Question B1 cohort.
	Include aid awarded to international students (i.e., those not qualifying for federal aid).
	Aid that is non-need-based but that was used to meet need should be reported in the need-based aid column.
	For a suggested order of precedence in assigning categories of aid to cover need, see the entry for "non need-based scholarship or grant aid" on the last page of the definitions section.
	Do NOT include any aid related to the CARES Act or unique to the COVID-19 pandemic.
