*Keeping in mind that not all factors are within the direct control of COM-FSM. However, the college is tasked with taking efforts to improve access and equity when there is imbalance in representation.

COM-FSM population by origin compared to 2010 census population of all four states:

Green = COM-FSM provides HE access to all four states and at least 10% of the college’s students will come from each FSM state.

Yellow = Direct access is provided, but less than 10% of the college’s students come from each FSM state; however college can document efforts to mitigate under-representation.

Red = Either direct access to all four states is not provided or there is one or more under-represented population for whom the college cannot document actions to mitigate imbalance.
