- crd_tot_semXX: Based on CREDITS in History Course Perf Facts. Semester based but rolled up at the system level. In other words, the group by is done by student_id, term_enrolled_date, meaning that credits across all institutions are summed together. Because there is no distinction between whether the credits were passed or included in the GPA, this variable most accurately reflects credits attempted institution-wide, and not credits earned. Also because some students are enrolled in multiple degree programs at the same time at different institutions, it would sum together all credits at all institutions regardless of degree, but since so few students do so, it should be a negligible sample.
- crd_wd_semXX: Based on CREDITS in History Course Perf Facts. Semester based but rolled up at the system level. Counts the number credits attempted in crd_tot_semXX that resulted in a final grade of "W/WA" or "WN/WU", which are official withdraws and are not included in a student's gpa [must be revised].
- crdhrs_tot_semXX: Based on CREDITS and EQUATED CREDITS in History Course Perf Facts. Semester based but rolled up at the system level. Because there is no distinction between whether the credits were passed or included in the GPA, this variable most accurately reflects credits attempted institution-wide, and not credits earned.
- crdhrs_wd_semXX: Same as crd_wd_semXX, but also includes equated credits in calculation. For example, at a student who take 3 3-credit courses and 1 3-equated credit course in a term, but officially withdraws from the equated credit course and 1 of the 3-credit courses, would have a value of 6 for crdhrs_wd_semXX.
- crdsemXX: Based on CRD_SEM_PASSED_PERF in History Facts Table. Semester based but rolled up at the institutional level. That means that credits passed or earned at other colleges are not rolled into this value and are only credits earned in the semester at that college.
NOTE: due to the difference data/table sources and form for calculating this values, crd_tot_sem and crsemXX will not necessarily match. The former will be a system-wide calculation of total credits attempted, while the latter will be an institution calculation of total credit earned.
crdattm_semXX: Based on CRD_SEM_ATTEMPTED_PERF in History Facts. Semester based but rolled up at the institutional level.
