IDHE.TUFTS.EDU 2 | 12NSLVE CAMPUS REPORT | Concordia University-Saint Paul

About This ReportThank you for participating in the National Study ofLearning, Voting, and Engagement (NSLVE). SinceNSLVE’s launch in 2013, more than 1,000 collegesand universities have signed up to receive theirvoting rates for the 2012, 2014 and 2016 federalelections. Along with others, your institution’sparticipation in this study has allowed us to build arobust database of nearly 30 million college studentrecords, about 10 million for each election year, thatserve as a foundation for innovative research oncollege student political learning and engagement indemocracy.

NSLVE is a signature initiative of the Institute forDemocracy and Higher Education (IDHE) at TuftsUniversity's Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life.The mission of IDHE is to shift college anduniversity priorities and culture to advance politicallearning, agency, and equity. We achieve ourmission through research, resource development,technical assistance, and advocacy.

About the DataThe voter registration and voting rates in this reportreflect the percentage of your institution's studentswho were eligible to vote and who actually voted inthe 2012 and 2016 elections. These results arebased on enrollment records your institutionsubmitted to the National Student Clearinghouse(FERPA-blocked records excluded) and publiclyavailable voting files collected by Catalist.

Institutional voting rates are adjusted by deductingan estimated number of students identified by eachinstitution as non-resident aliens and reported to theIntegrated Postsecondary Education Data System(IPEDS). For breakdowns by studentcharacteristics, we cannot consistently adjust forstudents who are non-resident aliens, residentaliens, or undocumented students. This may resultin your institution’s actual voting rate being higherthan we report. To calculate that percentage, and toread more about NSLVE data, see our FAQ onCampus Reports. Please also see Creating andMaintaining the NSLVE Database paper for amore detailed study methodology.

Reviewing the DataUse the following key to interpret the charts:* = number of students is less than 10n/a = no data was collected or calculated for thisfield.
