SUNY Glossary of Terms

Summary

Having a consistent definition of terms is important for good data analysis. SUNY publishes a Glossary of Terms that Institutional Research and Planning at Genesee Community College references often. The glossary is helpful for defining items such as first-generation college student, online student, first-time student, and more! 

We have downloaded the SUNY Glossary of Terms for your convenience. This document is stored in the Institutional Effectiveness documents in myGCC.
