Appendix C: Institutional Snapshot

[Replaces Basic Institutional Data Forms—BIDs]

2010 HLC Archives

Purpose: The purpose of the institutional snapshot is to give the Evaluation Team a basic impression of the organization’s overall scope and nature of operations during a specified time frame preceding the on-site visit. Some of the data sets described below constituted the Commission’s old Basic Institutional Data Forms; several are new. However, we no longer provide a required set of forms you must fill out. Instead, we describe the data, suggest when appropriate where it might exist in other reports, and leave it to you do provide it to the team in the format most convenient to you. You may choose to integrate some of the data into the report in the form of charts or tables; you may choose to provide the team with copies of your IPEDS reports; you may provide internal or annual reports that contain much of the data. Teams have indicated that these data are helpful to them in gaining a quick understanding of the institution. If any of the proposed information cannot be created without significant expenditure of money and/or staff time, you should be able to explain to the team why the institution has chosen not to collect the data. Instructions: Except where noted, information should be provided at least for the two past complete fall semesters prior to the on-site evaluation visit. A completed institutional snapshot should be included as a part of the Self-Study Report submitted relative to either a Comprehensive Evaluation Visit or a Mandated Focused Visit.

C. Using the formula cited below, what was the tuition discount rate (TDR) for undergraduate and graduate student populations? If this rate cannot be separated for these two categories, so note and simply report aggregate figures.

TDR = total institutional financial aid dollars as a proportion of income that would result from all students paying full tuition.
I = Institutional Financial Aid Dollars Awarded for Tuition
P = Payments of Tuition Expected of Students and their External Aid 
TDR = I/(I + P) as a percentage
