Enter total dollar amounts awarded to enrolled full-time and less than full-time degree-seeking undergraduates
(using the same cohort reported in CDS Question B1, “total degree-seeking” undergraduates) in the following
categories.
• If the data being reported are final figures for the 2021-2022 academic year (see the next item below),
use the 2021-2022 academic year's CDS Question B1 cohort.
• Include aid awarded to international students (i.e., those not qualifying for federal aid).
• Aid that is non-need-based but that was used to meet need should be reported in the need-based aid
column.
• For a suggested order of precedence in assigning categories of aid to cover need, see the entry for “non-
need-based scholarship or grant aid” on the last page of the definitions section.
• Do NOT include any aid related to the CARES Act or unique to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Private student loans: A nonfederal loan made by a lender such as a bank, credit union or private lender used to
pay for up to the annual cost of education, less any financial aid received.
External scholarships and grants: Scholarships and grants received from outside (private) sources that students
bring with them (e.g., Kiwanis, National Merit scholarships). The institution may process paperwork to receive the
dollars, but it has no role in determining the recipient or the dollar amount awarded.

institution determines the recipient.
Financial need: As determined by your institution using the federal methodology and/or your institution's own
standards.
Need-based aid: College-funded or college-administered award from institutional, state, federal, or other sources
for which a student must have financial need to qualify. This includes both institutional and non-institutional student
aid (grants, jobs, and loans).
Need-based scholarship or grant aid: Scholarships and grants from institutional, state, federal, or other sources
for which a student must have financial need to qualify.
Need-based self-help aid: Loans and jobs from institutional, state, federal, or other sources for which a student
must demonstrate financial need to qualify.
Non-need-based scholarship or grant aid: Scholarships and grants, gifts, or merit-based aid from institutional,
state, federal, or other sources (including unrestricted funds or gifts and endowment income) awarded solely on the
basis of academic achievement, merit, or any other non-need-based reason. When reporting questions H1 and H2,
non-need-based aid that is used to meet need should be counted as need-based aid.

I. INSTRUCTIONAL FACULTY AND CLASS SIZ
E
Please report the number of instructional faculty members in each category for Fall 2022. Include faculty who are on your
institution’s payroll on the census date your institution uses for IPEDS/AAUP.
The following definition of full-time instructional faculty is used by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in its annual Faculty
Compensation Survey (the part time definitions are not used by AAUP). Instructional Faculty is defined as those members of the instructional-research
staff whose major regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for research. Use the chart below to determine inclusions and
exclusions:
Instructional faculty in preclinical and clinical medicine, faculty who are not paid (e.g., those who donate their services or are
in the military), or research-only faculty, post-doctoral fellows, or pre-doctoral fellows
Administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, librarian, registrar, coach, and the like, even though they may
devote part of their time to classroom instruction and may have faculty status
Other administrators/staff who teach one or more non-clinical credit courses even though they do not have faculty status
Undergraduate or graduate students who assist in the instruction of courses, but have titles such as teaching assistant,
teaching fellow, and the like
Faculty on sabbatical or leave with pay
Faculty on leave without pay
Replacement faculty for faculty on sabbatical leave or leave with pay
Full-time instructional faculty: faculty employed on a full-time basis for instruction (including those with released time for research)
Part-time instructional faculty: Adjuncts and other instructors being paid solely for part-time classroom instruction. Also includes full-time faculty
teaching less than two semesters, three quarters, two trimesters, or two four-month sessions. Employees who are not considered full-time instruction
faculty but who teach one or more non-clinical credit courses may be counted as part-time faculty.
Minority faculty: includes faculty who designate themselves as Black, non-Hispanic; American Indian or Alaska Native; Asian, Native Hawaiian or other
Pacific Islander, or Hispanic.
Doctorate: includes such degrees as Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Education, Doctor of Juridical Science, and Doctor of Public Health in any field such
as arts, sciences, education, engineering, business, and public administration. Also includes terminal degrees formerly designated as “first professional,”
including dentistry (DDS or DMD), medicine (MD), optometry (OD), osteopathic medicine (DO), pharmacy (DPharm or BPharm), podiatric medicine (DPM),
veterinary medicine (DVM), chiropractic (DC or DCM), or law (JD).
Terminal master’s degree: a master’s degree that is considered the highest degree in a field: example, M. Arch (in architecture) and MFA (master of fine
arts in art or theater).

Counts above are correct per instructions from CDS. In 2022-23, Stony Brook University is renovating a Javits Lecture Hall, which typiclly houses many
large lecture classes. In fall 2022, these classes were delivered online, although many also had in-person laboratory sub-sections. Because these classes
were moved online due to a facilities rennovation project rather than COVID-19, they are not included in the counts above. Counts below refelct when
including sections moved online due to this rennovation project are included, and will be more consistent with data from prior years.
Report the Fall 2022 ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part time) to full-time equivalent instructional faculty (full time
plus 1/3 part time). In the ratio calculations, exclude both faculty and students in stand-alone graduate or professional programs such as
medicine, law, veterinary, dentistry, social work, business, or public health in which faculty teach virtually only graduate level students.
Using the above definitions, please report for each of the following class-size intervals the number of class sections and class
subsections offered in Fall 2022. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate labs with 20
students should be counted once in the “100+” column in the class section column and 40 times under the “20-29” column of the class
subsections table.

Undergraduate Class Size
In the table below, please use the following definitions to report information about the size of classes and class sections offered in the
Fall 2022 term.
• Please include classes that have been moved online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Class Sections: A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline and number, meeting at a stated time
or times in a classroom or similar setting, and not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. Undergraduate class sections
are defined as any sections in which at least one degree-seeking undergraduate student is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning
classes and noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one
readings. Exclude students in independent study, co-operative programs, internships, foreign language taped tutor sessions, practicums,
and all students in one-on-one classes. Each class section should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of course
catalog cross-listings.
Class Subsections: A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory, recitation, and discussion subsections
that are supplementary in nature and are scheduled to meet separately from the lecture portion of the course. Undergraduate
subsections are defined as any subsections of courses in which degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled for credit. As above,
exclude noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings.
Each class subsection should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of cross-listings.

areas of DEGREES CONFERRED
For each of the following discipline areas, provide the percentage of diplomas/certificates, associate, and bachelor’s
degrees awarded. To determine the percentage, use majors, not headcount (e.g., students with one degree but a
double major will be represented twice). Calculate the percentage from your institution’s IPEDS Completions by
using the sum of 1st and 2nd majors for each CIP code as the numerator and the sum of the Grand Total by 1st
Majors and the Grand Total by 2nd major as the denominator. If you prefer, you can compute the percentages using
1st majors only
