This factbook is organized so that each data section
has its own mini-glossary. Rather than a list of definitions,
these contain a narrative explanation of commonly
used terms, links to external reporting definitions,
timing (i.e. when data is extracted and reported),
etc.
Note that the Common
Data Set has its own glossary.
Here are some quick links to these subject-specific
terms:
Admissions
Enrollment
Graduation/Retention
Degrees Granted
Tuition &
Financial Aid
Faculty

Finances
