---Not available.
\1\Data for 1986-87 and later years reflect 20 meals per week rather than meals 7 days per week.
\2\Room and board data are estimated.
\3\Because of revisions in data collection procedures, figures are not entirely comparable with those for previous years. In particular, data on board rates are somewhat higher than earlier years because they reflect a basis of 20 meals per week rather than meals served 7 days per week. Since many institutions serve fewer than 3 meals each day, the 1986-87 and later data reflect a more accurate accounting of total board costs.
\4\Preliminary data based on fall 2000 enrollment weights.

NOTE: Data are for the entire academic year and are average charges paid by students. Tuition and fees were weighted by the number of full-time-equivalent undergraduates, but were not adjusted to reflect student residency. Room and board were based on full-time students. The data have not been adjusted for changes in the purchasing power of the dollar over time. Data for 1976-77 to 1996-97 are for institutions of higher education. Institutions of higher education were accredited by an agency or association that was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, or recognized directly by the Secretary of Education. The new degree-granting classification is very similar to the earlier higher education classification, except that it includes some additional institutions, primarily 2-year colleges, and excludes a few higher education institutions that did not award associate or higher degrees. Because of their low response rate, data for private 2-year colleges must be interpreted with caution. Data for 1999 imputed using alternative procedures. (See Guide to Sources for details.) Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding.
