Fact Book

The Inver Hills Community College Fact Book aims to serve as a reference tool to provide general information about the college for use in planning, assessment, writing grant proposals, preparing reports, and other projects. Data will be updated regularly as it becomes available throughout the year in the online version. Data is shown by fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) unless otherwise noted.

Every effort is made to ensure that data are accurate, yet data used here may differ slightly from other college and system reports due to the use of different sources, the reporting time period for which the data was reported, dates on which a report was generated, or use of different data definitions.

Minnesota State Colleges and Universities provides Enrollment and Student Reporting Standards, and they are followed where noted beginning with FY 2012. That document is provided as an appendix (online only) to this report.
