Gravitec Information Review

Date:  9-19-07 Application:  SITESPLUS 2006.1
Info Type:  Error Correction/Enhancement Platform:  All
Topic: PCW Calculations
Details:

Several corrections have been made to the internal PCW calculator used in SITESPLUS.  Those corrections should cause the values to be more sensitive to changes in race, income, and group quarters.

In addition, an enhancement has been made to allow more flexibility with the group quarters portion of the calculation.  Normally, SITESPLUS assumes that the group quarters figures entered with your sector data represent off-campus students and uses a 23.5% factor to their PCW.  Now you can assign your own percentage to be used for the group quarters figures by going to [Study Data] and clicking on the [PCW Data ...] button.
