Freeze Dates
The College creates its census
files by freezing, i.e. taking a snapshot of, key data elements at prescribed
times each semester. The freeze date for the Fall and Spring
semesters is exactly four weeks into each semester. The Institutional freeze date for Summer is
two weeks into Summer Session II. Freeze dates ensure
that essential institutional data are captured consistently, with the
same definitions and at the same time in the College's academic and administrative
cycle. Freeze date files serve as the College's permanent record
of information regarding admissions, student enrollment, instructional
activity, degree completion, and employees. Frozen data are used
when the College reports information to state, federal and other external
agencies, and are particularly important in ensuring accurate comparative
and trend analysis.
