Factbook Project
The UAF Dynamic Factbook serves as an institutional reference of the university's annual productivity. The Factbook is broken up into a Student Data Section and a Financial/Research Expenditures Section.

The six sections are:
Degrees Awarded : Degrees by program, campus and demographic characteristics
Credit Hours : Information on courses taken by subject, level, campus and course number
Majors : Degree-seeking students organized by origin, class standing, major, degree, ethnicity and gender
Enrollment : Student head counts organized by campus, origin, class standing, degree, ethnicity and gender
Applications : Applications, admits and enrolled by origin, level, unit, major, school district and demographics
The Financial/Research Expenditures Section is available for FY2004 to the current FY.
Available variables are:
- NCHEMS codes

Credits: The UAF Dynamic Student Factbook was completely developed by UAF students! Craig Stephenson and Alex Wolfe initiated the project as a part of their CS Senior Design course. Craig and Alex designed the engine that makes the Factbook dynamic. Yingte Zhang assembled the pieces made by Craig and Alex, placed the Factbook on a server, and made it run. Finally, Kris Harper did the final leg work of customizing the front-end, validating the data, and making the Factbook user-friendly. Kris also expanded functionality by adding the Enrollment and Applications pages, writing the entire trend data section of the Factbook and creating and developing the GraphBook project.
The UAF Dynamic Financial/Research Expenditures Factbook was developed by Ben Barton and Heike Merkel.
