COS GRAPHIC REPORT
SPRING 2002-3

This report provides graphical information for selected demographic items (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, sex )

for AUB and for a national normative sample. For all Likert scale items (e.g., 5-point Satisfaction scale), data are displayed for your institution’s top and bottom five items as well as the five items with the greatest and least differences for your institution in comparison with national normative data. Please note percentages may not add to 100 due to the effect of rounding.

The “National Norms” used in this report are based on 45,615 student records from 84 4-year postsecondary institutions that administered the ACT College Outcomes Survey between January 1,1998 and December 31,2002. Normative data of this type are often referred to as “user norms,” because they simply represent a composite of the data obtained by a number of institutions that administered the instrument during a particular period of time. See the “Normative Data Report” for the College Outcomes Survey for more information concerning the nature of the national norms sample.
