Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
All data sourced from the Florida Institute of Technology Office of Civic Engagement. For Part 1, The university opted to use 5425 as the representative number of students enrolled for credit. The reason for this change in the count is that this number represents all undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students (full and part time) at the Melbourne main campus and surrounding campus sites. This number is different from IC 3 because it no longer takes into account Florida Tech Online students and Extended Studies students. Since Civic Engagement only counts for those students who attend the main campus, this number is more representative of the number of students enrolled for credit. Although Florida Tech does not include community service information on the University’s Academic transcripts, that information is included in a student’s co-curricular transcript provided through OrgSync if the student uses the service.
