CIP

The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) is a taxonomic coding scheme for postsecondary instructional programs/fields of study that facilitates the organization, collection, and reporting of program data. The CIP was developed by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and is the accepted federal government statistical standard on instructional program classifications and is used in a variety of education information surveys and databases.

Tuition and Required Fees for Entire Program

The amount of tuition and required fees charged to a student for the entire program. Required fees are the fixed sum charged to students for items not covered by tuition and required of such a large proportion of all students that the student who does not pay the charge is an exception. Institutions that do not charge by program, for example a 2-year program whose tuition rates change from one year to the next, would be required to calculate the total tuition and fees for the entire length of the program.

 

Normal Time

The amount of time necessary for a student to complete all requirements for a degree or certificate according to the institution’s catalog. This is typically 4 years (8 semesters or trimesters, or 12 quarters, excluding summer terms) for a bachelor’s degree in a standard term-based institution; 2 years (4 semesters or trimesters, or 6 quarters, excluding summer terms) for an associate’s degree in a standard term-based institution; and the various scheduled times for certificate programs.

 

Books and Supplies for Entire Program

The average cost of books and supplies for a typical student for the entire program. If this information is not available by program, use your institutional estimate.

 

Annual Room and Board Charges

The annual charges assessed students for an academic year of rooming accommodations (for a typical student sharing a room with one other student) and meals.

Federal Student Loans:

Includes all Title IV student loans, such as Stafford (subsidized and unsubsidized) and Perkins loans. This does not include PLUS and other loans made directly to parents.

 

Private Loans:

A loan provided by a private educational lender that is not a title IV loan and that is issued expressly for postsecondary education expenses to a borrower, regardless of whether the loan is provided through the educational institution that the student attends or directly to the borrower from the private educational lender.

 

Institutional Financing Plans:

An institutional financing plan is the extension of credit to a student for educational costs that will be paid by the student (or on the student’s behalf) after the program of study has ended. The amount and frequency of the installment payments and whether they include a fee or interest are specified in the written plan.
