Details

As the R data file type allows for editing of the included data, we ask that prior to using the files you accept responsibility for accurate dissemination of this information and agree that no manipulation of the data that results in falsification of the information will occur.

Missing values contained within the data set are due to the grade distributions not being displayed when a section has low enrollment or when all students in the class have the same grade. Because of the low enrollment in those classes or because all the students in a class received the same grade, the grade data could identify a student. Therefore, this data has been omitted to satisfy Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. §1232g).

Please see the Grade Scale for details as to how the average GPA was calculated.
