Definition: The enrollment period identified by the term and the year on which the data are based (TYYYY)

Term (T): The term on which the data are based.

Year (YYYY): The year in which the term occurs. When the term code is "9" which signifies the total report year, use 4 digits of the fiscal year of the report period. The fiscal year is derived by the following. If the term is =3, the fiscal year is the same as the report year. If the term is =2, the fiscal year equals the report year + 1.

If submitting a Calendar Year file, file should include each applicable term for the institution during the entire year. For example, Calendar Year 2012 would include equivalent of Winter 2012, Spring 2012, Interim 2012, Summer 2012 and Fall 2012. (Comment added 12/4/2012)

Private Degree Granting Institutions (Non-COF) - Do not use term code 8 or 9 on the file.   Allocate the term codes 1-5 as appropriate for the timing of the term at your institution.

If submitting a comma delimited file (CSV), Term and Year should be submitted as separate columns.

Codes/Notes:
1 - Summer
2 - Fall
3 - Winter (only for institutions on a quarter system)
4 - Spring
5 - Interim

Examples:
Fiscal Year 2002-03
Summer 02 12002

Definition: A number that uniquely identifies a student at an institution. Wherever possible, this should be the nine digit social security number assigned to an individual under the Federal Insurance Contribution Act. Social Security rules currently exclude use of numbers that are < 000000100 or >= 800000000

Codes/Notes: If the Student Identification Number is assigned, the number should be used in all future reports by the institution for that student unless corrected or replaced by Social Security Number. Note: Use of an SSN is the only way DHE can track a student for retention and graduation analyses across institutions.

If an individual's social security number is not available for use by an institution, the institution may report any student identification number up to 9 characters that is unique for that student. The institution also must report the Student Identification Type as “1,” indicating that this number is not a Social Security Number.

Note: Hyphens are not entered as part of the identification number.

Private Degree Granting Institutions (Non-COF) - While SSN is not required, it is the only field that can link data from other institutions. For participation in any transfer studies (to/from), SSN is required.

Definition: The level at which a student is classified during the term which is being reported, based upon the total credits obtained toward completion of a degree/certificate program.

Codes/Notes:
Students are classified as undergraduate or graduate based on the number of credits completed as of the beginning of the term. Within those categories, students can be classified as degree/certificate-seeking or non-degree seeking. See Documentation for description of each level.

UNDERGRADUATE:
Degree-Seeking
11 - First Year (freshman)
12 - Second Year (sophomore)
13 - Third Year (junior)
14 - Fourth Year & Beyond (senior)
15 - Unclassified
16 - Certificate with a Bachelor’s (Regis Univ only)

Non-Degree-Seeking
19 - Non Degree-Seeking Undergraduate Students Without a Bachelor's Degree
20 - Non Degree-Seeking Undergraduate Students With a Bachelor's Degree--categorized by institution as an undergraduate student (can include post-baccalaureate students pursuing initial teacher licensure only)

GRADUATE:
21 - First Professional Degree-Seeking Removed Dec 2009
31 - Master’s
32 - Doctoral Removed Dec 2009
33 - Specialist

Students reported in the IPEDS Graduation Rate Survey and DHE’s Quality Indicator System cohorts must meet three criteria:
be reported as first-time, full-time, and degree-seeking.
- First-time is based on the Registration Status field and requires a code of 1. - Full-time classification is derived from the sum of three credit hour fields (resident instruction + ESP + other); vocational hours are included in RI or other credit hours) and the total must be at least 12 credit hours. - The degree-seeking criterion is based on the Student Level field and requires a student be reported with either code 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15, acknowledging college credit earned for work done during high school through concurrent enrollment and/or AP/IB.

Students reported with a student level of 33 should be coded with a program type = 8.

Codes 16 and 34 valid only for Enrollment and Financial Aid Files, not for Teacher Education File.

Missing Value: Does not apply; field must be completed.

Edit Specs:
- Error if not a valid code; codes 16 and 34 valid only for Regis University’s Enrollment and Financial Aid Files.
- For 2 year programs, only 11, 12, 15, 19, and 20 are valid.
- Error will be generated for code "54" as an explanation is required

Format: Numeric, 2 place integer

Updates: Removed code for Extended Studies Program, December 1989, June 1991; added cumulative credit hour range verification with student level, June 1996; reconfigured structure, added codes 16, 20, 33, and 34, and deleted codes 35 and 36, July 2002; Dec 2009 replaced code 21, 32 with 52,53,54;

Definition: Classification of student for the purpose of tuition assessment. Institutions must be in compliance with DHE’s FTE Reporting Guidelines and Procedures implemented for FY2003. Also see page on Tuition Classification—Detail.

In State: Student determined to be in state for public tuition purposes according to Title 23 7 102 (5), C.R.S.

Out of State: Student determined to be out of state for public tuition purposes according to Title 23 7 102 (5), C.R.S.

Codes/Notes:
1 - In-state-Colorado resident
2 - Out-of-State
3 - Unclassified--allowable only for students enrolled exclusively cash-funded courses. Students enrolled in state-funded extended campus courses should have a tuition classification of 1 or 2. Use this value only when in- or out-of-state residency is not available. Private institutions not distinguishing between residents and non-residents should submit as Unclassified.

Special treatment of out-of-state student groups as provided for by Colorado statutes, summarized in Tuition Classification Detail field:

Private Degree Granting Institutions (Non-COF) - Submit code "3" in this field for all student data.

Missing Value: Does not apply; field must be completed.

Format: Numeric, 1 place integer

Updates: June 1991; added code 4 on limited basis, July 2002; deleted code 4, FY2004

Definition: The program code that identifies the student's stated program at the time of the data report, where program code is defined as the assigned classification of instructional program code associated with the approved program.

Codes/Notes: Formerly called major. The six-digit Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) code that identifies the specific field of study the individual is enrolled in.

For the Degrees File, refer to the list of operating postsecondary programs for valid CIP codes approved for an institution. This list is different from the Approved Postsecondary Degree Publication and includes programs still eligible to report degrees during phase-out cycle. The institutional data contact person at each institution has the most recent copy of this list or you may request a correct copy of the list from the Commission.

For the Undergraduate Applicant File and Enrollment File, students whose major is undeclared should be reported as '999999'. This code is invalid on the Degrees Granted file. For students accepted in a undergraduate degree program or program area but whose specific major is undeclared, (e.g. Engineering), an institution may identify majors by the use of '99' plus the first 4 digits of program area. (e.g. Engineering: 991401) The institution must offer the specific program at the baccalaureate level in order to report these discipline areas (e.g. cannot report pre-law since no undergraduate law program offered, cannot report pre-pharmacy if no pharmacy program is available on campus). If the student anticipates transferring into a program at another institution, this student must be reported in the liberal arts program, if offered, or as undeclared.

The program area reported in this field will be the primary program unit of analysis for federal reports, enrollment projections, and standard Commission reports.

Private Degree Granting Institutions (Non-COF) - CIP Code submitted should match the list of programs offered submitted to DHE. Use template available in Documentation to send list of programs offered to DHE.

Missing Value: Blank, only if non-degree seeking student.

Edit Specs: Error if code reported is not found in the list of DHE approved programs for the reporting institution.

For the majority of programs this field will be blank since the sequence number is assigned only to a small number of programs. Refer to the list of operating postsecondary programs for valid CIP codes and sequence numbers approved for an institution. Please contact the Commission Office for the most recent copy of this list.

Where the major sequence is required, the number should be reported in 2 digit format (i.e. 02, 03, etc.)

Missing Value: Blank, if not applicable.

Edit Specs: Error if the Program Code and Program Sequence Number do not match the approved program list.

Definition: This classification divides students into three major categories—first-time, transfer, and continuing/readmit—and three smaller groups: high school concurrent, summer only, and study abroad.

Codes/Notes:
1 - First-Time
3 - Transfer
5 - Continuing or Readmit

Cannot be 1st time (1) at the same level (undergrad, grad) in the same institution more than once unless summer and immediately following fall

Format: Alpha-numeric, 1 place integer

Updates: October 1985; Restructured field

The values as listed and defined are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Therefore determining the proper value requires using a hierarchical decision rule.

• If the student is a HS concurrent (including fast track, PSEO, Concurrent program, ASCENT, including those that are neither) in the term, code as 7, HS concurrent. May be in their first term at your institution or not. May be degree-seeking or not. Definition: Students age 18 or younger who have not graduated from HS or earned a GED.
• ELSE if summer only, code as 9. Definition: Students in this category cannot automatically continue on to the fall or spring term without applying for admission. May be their first summer term at your institution or not. Legal value only for summer terms. Generally non-degree only.
• ELSE, if enrolled for no hours, on file only due to Study Abroad participation, report as 6
• ELSE, if reporting for fall, was the student a registration-type 1 or 3 on the immediately prior summer term file? The student must be enrolled in the fall.
  • If yes, report as the same code in fall (1 or 3) and STOP
  • If no, go on
• ELSE, decide if this term is the student’s first term at your institution at the current level, where level is undergrad or grad as defined in the STUDENT LEVEL values
  • If no (current term not the first term at your institution at this level), · Were all prior terms at your institution as a HS concurrent? · If no, has any prior terms at your institution at this grad or undergraduate level not as a HS concurrent, or don’t know, report as 5, continuing/readmit. · If yes, · Has the student earned college credit at any other institution, at the current level (grad or UG), since HS? · If no or don’t know, report as 1, first time. · If yes, report as 3, transfer.If UG use 3; use 3 or 1 if graduate level, depending on institutional practice (added Aug2012).
  • If yes (current term was first term at your institution at this level) · Has the student earned college credit at this level (grad or UG) at any other institution since HS? · If no or don’t know, report as 1, first time · If yes, report as 3, transfer.
• Finally, if the process above yields a 5/continuing, is the student considered a new transfer or new graduate-level degree-seeking student (added Aug2012)at your institution this term? This occurs in some institutions when students formally apply to (that is, apply to, are admitted to, then enroll in) a degree program from non-degree status at your school..
  • If student is considered a new undergraduate transfer by the institution, report as 3, transfer
  • If student is considered a new graduate degree-seeking student by the institution, report as 3 (transfer) or 1, first-time depending on institutional practice. (Added Aug2012)
  • Note that a student could conceivably be reported as a 1 or 3 on files for several terms– 1 or 2 terms as a new non-degree undergrad [a summer file and a fall file] with prior work elsewhere after HS, 1 or 2 terms as a transfer from UG non-degree, 1 or 2 terms as new at the graduate level, and 1 or 2 more as new to graduate degree work.
  • A student could be reported as a 1 (first time) at the graduate level on several terms – 1 or 2 terms as new at the grad level non-degree, and 1 or 2 more terms when moving from grad-level non-degree to degree. (Added Aug2012)
  • Students reported as 3’s/transfers in undergrad degree programs (levels 11-15) on the enrollment file who were previously enrolled as non-degree students at the same institution (except as high school concurrents) must be reported on the UAF as transfers with prior institution code = own institution code.

Changes effective with files for summer 2003 (FY 2003-04)
· HS concurrent given a separate value, which takes precedence over all else and includes continuing HS concurrents. Students with value 7 HS concurrent would usually have been 2’s or 5’s or 4’s in the old scheme with program type 5. · Summer only separated and includes continuing. In old scheme would usually have been 2’s with program type 6. · New value for study abroad only. Would probably not have been on the file before. · Old value 4, readmit, dropped – value 5, continuing, becomes continuing AND readmit · Old value 2, first-time other, dropped. Some students who would have been 2’s before would be 1’s in the revised scheme, with student level 19, or 39 (non-degree). Others will be 3’s now, if prior same-level post-HS work at another institution is known. This includes all level 20’s.

Changes effective for files for summer 2012 (FY2013):

• Wording changes to clarify operation of enter-summer/enrolled fall, and to add explicit graduate-undergraduate distinctions where appropriate.
• Add language to allow a value of 1, first-time, or 3, transfer, for a student moving from non-degree graduate-level enrollment at an institution, to degree-seeking graduate enrollment at the same institution.  This provision makes reporting on graduate non-degree to degree, parallel to that for undergraduates.  This procedure should not be used for students moving from one degree program to another (e.g. MA English to PhD English, or MS Mechanical Engineering to MS Electrical Engineering). 
• Add language to allow institutional practice to determine whether new graduate degree-seeking students with prior graduate work are reported as 1, new, or 3, transfer. 

1. applicant, not enrolled, at four-year institution—report county applicant resided in at the time of application to the institution;
2. applicant, enrolled, at four-year institution—report county applicant resided in at time of application, if available, or for the first term of enrollment
3. enrolled and/or assessed students reported in two-year institution UAF—report county student resided in at time of most recent application, if available, or for the first term of enrollment

Definition: The total credits attempted by the student during the reporting period eligible to be reported as resident instruction according to DHE FTE Reporting Guidelines.

Codes/Notes: Credits attempted via interinstitutional enrollments may be included. State-funded credit hours excludes credits attempted by academic exemption tests (e.g. CLEP) accrued by exemption or other transcripted academic credit (e.g., AP; CLEP; prior learning).

Since some institutions compute fractional credits, space is allotted for one decimal position. Round to the nearest decimal value if necessary. If no decimal value is reported, enter a trailing zero. For example, code 12 credit hours as 120; code 1.5 credit hours as 015.

All student credit hours reported during any report period in a single academic year must use a single basis, either quarter or semester. Only UCHSC may concurrently offer courses with quarter credit hours while others are semester credit hours but UCHSC must convert all hours to the equivalent semester hours.

Students reported in the IPEDS Graduation Rate Survey and DHE’s Quality Indicator System cohorts must meet three criteria: be reported as first-time in fall, full-time in fall, and a degree-seeking undergraduate in fall. - First-time is based on the Registration Status field and requires a code of 1.
- Full-time classification is derived from the sum of three credit hour fields (resident instruction + ESP + other); vocational hours are included in RI or other credit hours). The total must be at least 12 credit hours.
- The degree-seeking undergraduate criterion is based on the Student Level field and requires a student be reported with one of codes 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15, with 12-15 acknowledging college credit earned for work done during high school through concurrent enrollment and/or AP/IB.

  • delivered by an institution’s extended studies unit on the sponsoring institution’s campus
  • delivered at a distance
• Off campus instruction that has been approved for COF eligibility by the Commission Removed 2/24/2012, These reported in RI Hours
• Remedial credit hours delivered as cash funded

Codes/Notes: Report remedial credit hours here for those institutions that deliver remedial courses as cash-funded (i.e., cannot claim state funding). MSCD and UCD cannot deliver remedial as cash- or state-funded.

Since some institutions compute fractional credits, space is allotted for one decimal position. Round to the nearest decimal value if necessary. If no decimal value is reported, enter a trailing zero. For example, code 12 credit hours as 120; code 1.5 credit hours as 015.
