Section 2—Institutional Profile

Institutional Measures (GPRA indicators):

The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) is a statute that requires all Federal agencies to manage their endeavors and corresponding results. Each agency states what it intends to accomplish, identifies the resources required, and periodically reports its progress to Congress. It is expected GPRA indicators will contribute to improvements in accountability for the expenditures of public funds, improve congressional decision-making through more objective information on the effectiveness of Federal programs, and promote a new government focus on results, service delivery, and customer satisfaction. As of 2017, the GPRA indicators for Title III, Title V, and Title VII grants within the Higher Education Act (HEA) are (1) Enrollment, (2) Retention, (3) Graduation, and (4) Fiscal Stability.


Complete the following table based on this grant year’s data. The Annual Performance Reports are typically completed from November until January. Your “Total Fall Enrollment” and “Fall-to Fall Retention %” will be from the most recent Fall Census Data.

The following are institutional outcomes that can be categorized according to the four focus areas. Please provide information on at least two of the measures in each focus area (eight measures total) that you feel are most reflective of your activities supported by Title III/V/VII funds for the current reporting period. You have the option of entering your own unique outcome goals in the area marked “Other.”


You should indicate whether you achieved the related outcome during this reporting period. Remember, you are only required to select at least two outcomes. Many grantees might be in their first grant year and unable to report on any outcomes. If this is the case, you should indicate which goals you will report on next year. If applicable, you have the option of defining the cohort of students for which this outcome is being measured. Among other things, your cohort might be based on your academic year, a sub-population of students (e.g., students with deficiencies in basic skills), or another point in time. Please be concise in this area.


In some instances, it might be necessary to provide a statement that supports your response. (Your supporting statement should be limited to 2 to 3 sentences.)


Row below each item: If you indicate that you have achieved a certain goal, please provide supporting data elements: the initial data point related to the outcome goal, the final data point related to the outcome goal, and the actual outcome goal at stated in your grant application.
