* When calculating numbers, IPEDS will be the first choice when applicable. When not using IPEDS, NCCBP will be used to determine KPI. All other KPIs will be determined using the metric of choice by the institution.
** Graduation and retention numbers will look at first-time/full-time freshmen per the IPEDS report. Transfer numbers will be based on the National Clearinghouse data available.
*** All KPIs will use sustained excellence unless otherwise directed by the chancellor, the president or the Board of Governors.
