The items in this section correspond to data elements collected by the IPEDS Web-based Data Collection System’s
Graduation Rate Survey (GRS). For complete instructions and definitions of data elements, see the IPEDS GRS Forms and
Instructions for the 2017-18 Survey.
In the following section for bachelor’s or equivalent programs, please disaggregate the Fall 2010 and Fall 2011 cohorts
(formerly CDS B4-B11) into four groups:
Students who received a Federal Pell Grant*

Total (all students, regardless of Pell Grant or subsidized loan status)
*Students who received both a Federal Pell Grant and a subsidized Stafford Loan should be reported in the "Recipients of a
Federal Pell Grant" column.

F. If necessary, use this space to clarify your test policies (e.g., if tests are recommended for some students, or if tests are
not required of some students):
The college has a flexible testing policy which gives students the option of submitting three scores from the sub scores
on the SAT, ACT or from SAT Subject Scores, AP or IB exams. Under this policy, CC has received SAT and/or ACT
scores from most applicants, however, based on the method utilized by the admission reviewer to admit the student,
students are categorized as SAT, ACT, or Flex testing. In an effort to show a demographic profile more reflective of our
student body, scores for admits based on the flex testing policy, but who submitted full scores for SAT or ACT are
included. Students for whom no SAT or ACT scores were submitted are not included.
