Table Definition of Terms      

• TOP is the Taxonomy of Program.  It is a system of numerical codes that is used by the State of California to collect and report information on programs and courses that exist at different colleges throughout the state that have similar outcomes. TOP can be used by a student to compare similar programs at different colleges that have different names but similar outcomes.  For example TOP 0948.00 is for Automotive Technology this certificate or degree might be listed as Automotive Management or Automotive Service Technician at different colleges. 
•        
• CIP is the Classification of Instructional Programs.  CIP is used at the Federal level to provide a taxonomic scheme that will support the accurate tracking, assessment, and reporting of fields of study and program completion activity. It is used for similar purposes at the Federal level as TOP is used at the State level.  If a student wants to compare programs at colleges that are in different states they would use the CIP instead of TOP.
•        
• SOC is the Standard Occupational Classification system used by Federal statistical agencies to classify workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data. Detailed occupations in the SOC with similar job duties, and in some cases skills, education, and/or training, are grouped together.  The SOC can be used by a students to identify areas of employment that completion of a certificate or degree could lead.
•        
• Normal Time to Completion was calculated by dividing the number of units necessary to complete the certificate by 12 and then adjusting the number of semesters based on frequency of course offerings, percentage of part time verses full time students in the program, and overall success rates of students completing the program.
•        
• The Median Educational Loan Debt incurred by completers was evaluated for programs that had 10 or greater completers in the 2011-2012 academic year.  Fullerton College does not maintain or recommend private loans for its students, so these figures are not included.  Fullerton College also does not offer institutional loans.  For Title IV loans, the median educational debt for programs with 10 or greater completers is zero, since only three students borrowed Title IV loans in the Administration of Justice program.  There were no Title IV loan borrowers who completed Cosmetology in 2011-12.
•  
• *Not required to report information for programs with fewer than 10 completers in 11/12.
