Notes on Completing the Tables

Specific instructions for completing each table are located with the table. If questions arise please don’t hesitate to contact Jerry D. Saye by email or telephone.

Schools that have more than one program of study (e.g., two separate master's programs) are asked to report on each of the ALA-accredited programs separately but aggregate the students in other non-accredited program(s) of study under Other Master's. This reporting of the ALA-accredited programs separately is a change from the way these data were collected in previous years.

If your school offers a particular program of study but no students are enrolled in the program (or none graduated for Table II-3), please report "0" rather than leaving the cells blank. If you offer a program but the data requested are not available, please report "-----" in the relevant cells of the table.

Because of the differences in programs among the various schools of library and information science, you are encouraged to include explanatory comments for any of the tables. Comments, where possible subject to editing, will be included in the final report with the table to which they refer.

Please note that for the final report totals will be forced. That is, the values entered in the body of the table will be considered correct and these internal values will be used to total the table. Please check your responses for arithmetic accuracy and cross-check your values with those entered in related tables, as noted later in the instructions.

Of the TOTAL FTE, indicate the number of FTE students off campus: ________________

Formula used for FTE calculations:

__________________________________________________________________

Table II-1 collects data on full-time and part-time enrollment, both head count and FTE, total head count and FTE data, as well as the distribution by gender of these students, for each program level.

Please report data for students officially enrolled in Fall 1998.

To report the number of students enrolled in each program, use your parent institution's method for computing student full-time equivalence (FTE). If such a formula is not available, use the following: Consider a student full-time if the course load will enable requirements for the degree to be completed within the normal length of time. For example, if the normal time to complete the degree is 12 courses in 4 quarters, a student carrying 3 courses during the quarter should be counted as 1.00 FTE; a student carrying 2 courses during the quarter should be counted as 0.67 FTE (2/3 = .067). Students carrying an overload should be counted as only 1.00 FTE. In the space below, continue on the back if necessary, please supply the formula you used to compute the FTE. If the FTE formula is differs by program level please give each formula used and the program level with which it is associated.

* Definitions for each program category are given on p. 3.

Table II-3 collects data on the number of graduates, as well as the gender and ethnic origin or international student status of these graduates, for each program of study.

Please report data for degrees and certificates awarded in the 1997-1998 academic year (Fall 1997 through Spring 1998 and the 1998 summer sessions). US schools should supply breakdowns by ethnic group; Canadian schools may supply breakdowns if these data are available. All schools should supply totals.

Please note that international students should be reported only in the "I" column and not in any of the ethnic categories. The ethnic category columns are limited to reporting of students who are US. (or Canadian, for Canadian schools) citizens, permanent residents, or landed immigrants.

Use the five categories of ethic origin defined by the US Department of Labor given on p. 6.

* Use the program levels defined on p. 3.

Ethnic Origin Definitions

AI	American Indian or Alaskan Native -- a person having origin in any of the original peoples of North America, and who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition.
AP	Asian or Pacific Islander -- a person having origin in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands. This area includes, for example, China, Japan, Korea, the Philippine Islands, Samoa, and Taiwan. The Indian subcontinent includes the countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan.
B	Black, not of Hispanic Origin -- a person having origin in any of the black racial groups of Africa.
H	Hispanic -- a person of Cuban, Central or South American, Mexican, Puerto Rican, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race. Only those persons from Central and South American countries who are of Spanish origin, descent, or culture should be included in this category. Persons from Brazil, Guyana, Surinam, or Trinidad, for example, would be classified according to their race and would not necessarily be included in the Hispanic category. In addition, the category does not include persons from Portugal, who would be classified according to race.
W	White, not of Hispanic origin -- a person having origin in any of the original peoples of Europe, North America, or the Middle East.

In addition:

International students -- all students who are not U. S. (or Canadian, for Canadian schools) citizens, permanent residents, or landed immigrants.

Information not available. Please use this category sparingly. Where at all possible, report ethnicity.

Table II-13 collects data on the cost of obtaining a full degree and the cost for one credit for each of the program levels for both in-state/province and out-of-state/province students.

Report the total cost of a degree obtained without transfer credit. Figures should indicate tuition and fees in force as of Fall 1998. Exclude any fees for particular courses (such as computer usage) and any lab fees. For doctoral programs, show tuition and fees to cover course work only (i.e., exclude dissertation costs).

Tuition for one credit should reflect tuition only as of Fall 1998. Exclude all fees and any other charges. Please report only the cost for one credit even though your school has a minimum credit hour requirement greater than one credit. Please comment below about minimum credit requirements that exceed one credit.
