EntryHighRiskGPA GPA for newly admitted high risk students. Indicate if student had a GPA lower or higher than a 2.5 at time of selection. EntryAlgebra Indicates whether student completed pre-Algebra, Algebra, or Geometry by the end of grade eight or if student was recruited early in grade nine and was taking algebra or geometry in that grade. ProjRetain Indicates whether the student continued to participate and was retained in the program such that the student subsequently participated in the next academic year 2008-09. DegreeDT Date of Undergraduate degree. Can provide midpoint day of 15 if day is not known. E.g. 06/15/2008 PSEStatusFall Indicates if student is enrolled in Fall 2007. PSEStatusFullYr Indicates if student was enrolled in postsecondary education in Spring 08; Summer 08 or Fall 08; this will measure if student enrolled by the fall term immediately following their expected graduation date during budget period (2007-08). PSEPersist Indicates whether student continued their enrollment in postsecondary education. If student was enrolled in Fall 2007, Spring 2008, Summer 2008 AND Fall 2008; then this student would have contributed to the project’s success in meeting this persistence objective.

19. How will success be determined? Number of students served: Number of students served: UB/UBMS: The sum of the number of students where PartCD = 1 or 2 or 3 or 6 or 7 should equal the number of students served during the reporting period. The sum of the number of students where EligibilityCD = 1 divided by the total number of students served during the reporting period will equal the percent of students served who were both low-income and first-generation. The sum of the number of students where EligibilityCD = 1 divided by the total number of students served during the reporting period will equal the percent of students served who were both low-income and first-generation.
