Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Weighted Campus User in performance year for OP 22 differs from IC 3, because IC 3 indicates the current year as the performance year (AY18/19) and OP 22 indicates performance year for AY17/18 in alignment with most current dataset available when this credit criteria was completed.
