## Summary

The federal institutional record for Neumont, published by NCES through College Navigator over the
Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. IPEDS reporting is **mandatory for every institution
participating in federal student aid**, which makes this a record the school must file and the
government must keep — not a page either party wrote to persuade anyone.

It is cited here for the things the school's own site does not state plainly: its **legal name**, its
**for-profit control**, its **enrollment**, and its **faculty count**.

## Useful Claims

- The institution's name in the federal record is **"Neumont College of Computer Science"**, at
  **143 South Main Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111-1917**.
- **IPEDS ID 445692**; **OPE ID 01009800**; EIN **13-4237385**.
- Type: **4-year, Private for-profit**.
- **Student population 476, of whom 453 are undergraduates** — so the graduate program is small in
  absolute terms. (The record gives the two totals, not a separate graduate count.)
- **Student-to-faculty ratio 27 to 1.** Faculty as of **Fall 2024: 13 full-time and 11 part-time**,
  all instructional; **zero** in research and public service.
- Awards offered: **associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees**.
- Carnegie Classification: **Special Focus Four-Year: Engineering and Other Technology-Related
  Schools**.
- The school **offers campus housing** and its students are **eligible for Pell Grants and Direct
  Loans**, confirming Title IV participation.
- Distance education: **undergraduate courses offered but no undergraduate programs**; graduate
  programs are offered online.

## Reliability Notes

Primary tier. This is a compliance filing an institution must make to keep federal aid eligibility,
held in a system the Department of Education maintains — the paradigm case of a record created in the
course of an agency's own business rather than published to make an argument.

Its authority is nonetheless **bounded to what it measures**. IPEDS reports counts and categories. It
says nothing about teaching quality, graduate outcomes, or whether the school is good at what it does,
and it should never be cited for any of those.

Two specific reading cautions:

- **The figures carry different vintages.** The faculty counts are stamped Fall 2024 and the
  disability-services percentage Fall 2023, while enrollment is undated on the page. They are
  snapshots from a reporting cycle, not current headcounts, and a small institution can move
  materially between cycles.
- **Self-reported inputs, audited context.** Institutions compile their own IPEDS submissions. What
  makes the record reliable is not that NCES verified each number but that misreporting carries
  federal-aid consequences — a different and stronger discipline than a marketing page, though not the
  same as an audit.

The record's most useful property here is **naming**. The school's own website brands itself
"Neumont University" in its hero and copyright line while its footer contact block says "Neumont
College of Computer Science". The federal record settles which name the institution files under, and
is the reason this wiki's page carries that title.
