Notes
regarding the calculations of aid recipients on these inventory
reports:
Prior
to the 1999-2000 academic year, financial aid recipients were
counted on a head count basis regardless of the number of terms
they attended. Beginning with 1999-2000, financial aid recipients
are counted according to the number of terms registered. This
change was to allow for more precision in two statistics: the
percent of students with aid and the average award per enrolled
student. Prior to 1999-2000, total aid recipients reflected
the number of students who received aid for at least one term
during the academic year and the overall average for aid awards
reflected the lower amounts received by students attending just
part of an academic year. Beginning with 1999-2000, the number
of recipients and the overall average for aid awards are now
expressed as full-year-equivalent figures. The total number
of recipients indicates how many full year aid awards there
are and the average aid awards now reflect the amount of aid
UC students receive for the full-year-equivalent of a full academic
year.
Beginning with 1999-2000, a student is assigned a value of 1/3
for each term registered at a quarter-system campus. For each
term registered at a semester-system campus, the student is
assigned a value of 1/2. Students are assigned a whole value
of 1 if they are registered in every non-summer term.
Students are also assigned a whole value of 1 if the student
level is unknown (i.e. those students captured in the Unknown
Student Level Inventory Reports). These students do not
have any registration data associated with them and therefore
the number of terms they attended cannot be determined.
Prior to 1999-2000, every student was assigned a value
of 1 irrespective of the number of terms registered.
