Complete the “Total Undergraduates” column only if you cannot provide data for the first two columns.
Report as your institution reports to IPEDS: persons who are Hispanic should be reported only on the Hispanic line, not under any race, and persons who are non-Hispanic multi-racial should be reported only under "Two or more races."
New guidance from IPEDS for reporting aggregate data:
Racial/ethnic designations are requested only for United States citizens, residents, and other eligible non-citizens. Eligible non-citizens include all students who completed high school or a GED equivalency within the United States (including DACA and undocumented students) and who were not on an F-1 non-immigrant student visa at the time of high school graduation.
More information about other eligible (for financial aid purposes) non-citizens is available at https://studentaid.gov/understandaid/eligibility/requirements/non-us-citizens.
Nonresident - A person who is not a citizen or national of the United States and who is in this country on a student visa or temporary basis and does not have the right to remain indefinitely. Do not include DACA, undocumented, or other eligible noncitizens in this category.
NOTE - Nonresidents are to be reported separately, in the boxes provided, rather than included in any of the seven racial/ethnic categories or in race/ethnicity unknown.

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 2021-2022 academic year (see the next item below), use the 2021-2022 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.

	J. Disciplinary areas of DEGREES CONFERRED	

J1 Degrees conferred between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022
For each of the following discipline areas, provide the percentage of diplomas/certificates, associate, and bachelor’s degrees awarded. To determine the percentage, use majors, not headcount (e.g., students with one degree but a double major will be represented twice).
Calculate the percentage from your institution’s IPEDS Completions by using the sum of 1st and 2nd majors for each CIP code as the numerator and the sum of the Grand Total by 1st Majors and the Grand Total by 2nd major as the denominator. If you prefer, you can compute the percentages using 1st majors only.
