Financial Aid
6 TABLESFederal methodology (FM)H5. Number and percent of students in class (defined in H4 above) borrowing from federal, non-federal, and any loan sources, and the average (or mean) amount borrowed.
Institutional methodology (IM)• The “Average per-undergraduate-borrower cumulative principal borrowed,” is designed to provide better
information about student borrowing from federal and nonfederal (institutional, state, commercial) sources.
Both FM and IM• The numbers, percentages, and averages for each row should be based only on the loan source specified for
the particular row. For example, the federal loans average (row b) should only be the cumulative average of
federal loans and the private loans average (row e) should only be the cumulative average of private loans.
