H6 No Longer Specifies Nonresident Aliens?

[Ted Cain]

Hello,

Up until the 2022-23 Common Data Set, H6 and H7 specified that responses pertained to undergraduate degree-seeking nonresident alien students. 2022-23 and forward it now says "undergraduate degree-seeking Nonresidents". Can I please get confirmation that this is still the intent of these questions, as well as make the recommendation that we update the descriptive to "undergraduate degree-seeking U.S. Nonresidents" or something similar (to distinguish from students who are attending from out of state)? My Office of Financial Aid was very confused upon review this year thinking that we should have a LOT more out-of-state students than I was reporting to them, when I was only reporting U.S. Nonresidents.

Thank you,
