PPA Metric Detailed Documentation





Annually, the Provost and college leadership engage in a review of the highlights, challenges, opportunities and goal setting of each college and unit in Academic Affairs. Throughout the year colleges are provided data updates (PPAs) on goals established in consultation with the Provost and the leadership team, culminating in a final report of actual performance to goal. PPA is part of Student Success Research & Analytics annual projects.

Total FTE ‐ Fundable Only

Full-time Equivalent (FTE) student is a measure of instructional effort (and student activity) that is based on the number of credit hours that students enroll by course level. FTE is based on the Federal definition, which divides undergraduate credit hours by 30 and graduate credit hours by 24. (BOG)

Service Learning (Number of Students)

Service-learning is a form of community engaged learning that explicitly connects academic courses with civic engagement, which includes individual and collective actions designed to identify and address issues of public concern, and to make a difference in the civic life of our communities. The key components of service-learning are: (1) that it enhances the understanding of course content and is tied to specific learning goals through consciously designed reflection, (2) that one of the learning goals is civic engagement, intended to enhance students' sense of personal responsibility to participate in the public realm to address current pressing social problems, and thus going beyond the academic or skill based goals of the course, and (3) that it develops a reciprocal relationship through which the experiential activities are planned and implemented through a collaboration with a community partner so that they meet needs specifically identified by that partner.

The data resource is Banner designated service-learning courses and courses forwarded from each of the schedulers that should have been designated in banner as service-learning with the 'SLCC' and 'CEL' attributes.

Average GPA and SAT Score for Incoming Freshmen

This metric  measures an average weighted grade point average of 4.0 or higher and an average SAT score of 1800 or higher for fall semester incoming freshmen, as reported annually in the admissions data that universities submit to the Board of Governors. This data includes registered First-Time-In-College students.

University Access Rate (Percent of Undergraduates with a Pell Grant)

Average Cost to the Student

For each of the last four years of data, the annual undergraduate total full expenditures (includes direct and indirect expenditures) were divided by the total fundable student credit hours to create a cost per credit hour for each year. This cost per credit hour was then multiplied by 30 credit hours to derive an average annual cost. The average annual cost for each of the four years was summed to provide an average cost per degree for a baccalaureate degree that requires 120 credit hours.
