Financial Statement Footnote	Schedule D, Part III, Line 1a Purchases of library books and works of art ARE capitalized only if the per item cost exceedS the minimum value per policy. Library books and art that are less than the policy minimum capitalized value are recorded as expenses.

Description of Organization's Collections	Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 The African collections, professional collections and historic portrait collections of paintings, drawings, lithographs, photographs, and sculptures are made available to students, faculty and staff and outside constituents for their educational value, for lectures and pleasures of viewing.
Intended Uses of Endowment Funds	Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The purpose of the endowment is to support the College and its mission over the long term. Accordingly, the primary investment objectives of the endowment are to: a) preserve and increase long-term real purchasing power of the funds' principal b) provide a stable source of financial support for the college's annual operating budget per policy set by the board of trustees c) provide ongoing financial support in the form of scholarships, awards, faculty chairs, lectureship, book funds and other specified purposes in accordance with the Board of Trustees' investment policies and donor agreements.
Liability for Uncertain Tax Position (ASC 740)	Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The College has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that it is exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC), except for income taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that requires tax effects from uncertain tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the financial statements. The College has not accrued any provision for income taxes as the College has had no significant unrelated business income. There is no interest or penalties recognized in the statements of activities or statements of position. The tax years ending 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes.

Explanation	PROCEDURE FOR MONITORING THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS INSIDE THE U.S. The College offers a wide variety of merit and need-based scholarships and awards to matriculating students. Merit awards are given in recognition of various achievements as specified in donors' correspondence and documents, or by College policy. Need-based awards are provided based on the income level, availability of awards offered elsewhere and similar standards. The College's Financial Aid Office uses various methods for the fair disbursement of grant funds within the requirements set by each grant source to monitor compliance. The College primarily makes scholarship grants that help offset tuition and other educational costs of the students, with most directly credited against the applicable student account, which assures proper use. The amount of the grant is adjusted by the Financial Aid Office, as necessary, based on any subsequent changes affecting the student's original eligibility.	ExplanationTxt

Form And Line Reference	Housing allowance or residence for personal use	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a The president is being provided a house as both a convenience to the College as well as personal use at 260 Cottage Hill Avenue in Elmhurst. This allows the individual to conduct business affairs and be available to respond to emergent situations that may arise. As a condition of employment, the president of Elmhurst College is required to reside at the residence that also serves as a venue to carry out regular college business including entertainment of trustees, employees, students, donors, and guests of the College. IRS Form 990 instructions require that the fair market value of housing provided to employees be reported on Form 990, Part VII, Section A and Schedule J, Part II. For tax year 2016 the value of the residence is conservatively estimated to be $61,630. The College has determined that the value of the housing is not considered taxable income to the President Dr. Stephen Alan Ray for 6 months ($31,739) and Interim President Larry Braskamp for 6 months ($31,739) as provided for in Internal Revenue Code Section 119. During tax year 2016, the President and Interim President made the residence their home for the months they held the position. Schedule J, Part II, Column (D) includes $61,630 of value associated with the use of the residence provided by the College. Travel for Companions Schedule J, Part I, Line 1A Travel expense reimbursement for companions is only allowed for the President as per his contract. According to his contract, when Dr. Ray's spouse is required to attend an event in which Dr. Ray is representing the College on official College business, the business related travel expenses for Dr. Ray's spouse will also be reimbursed by the College. The spouse's travel is not considered taxable when the purpose is to conduct business on behalf of the college. This contract is reviewed by the Human Resources Committee and approved by the full Board of Trustees.

1098-T Forms	Form 990, Part V, Line 1A The total on this line does not include 4,524 form 1098-Ts, which the university is required to file with the IRS and provide to its U.S. person students. Form 990 Review Process Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b The final review Form 990 and its various schedules were prepared by a national CPA firm, and then were reviewed by the Key Officers of the organization prior to making it available to the Board of Trustees. After the Key Officers reviewed the form, it was distributed to the Audit Committee of the Trustees at their Spring meeting. Identified necessary changes were incorporated following the board review process and a final copy of the filing was made available to all members of the board of trustees prior to filing.
Conflict of Interest Policy Monitoring & Enforcement	Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest forms are sent to Trustees, Officers, Key Employees (as applicable) and others for completion. The completed forms are returned to and reviewed by the Board Audit Committee Chair. The Audit Committee Chair together with the Audit Committee is responsible for administration of this policy. Matters of concern are brought to the Chair of the Board of Trustees or the President. Approval of compensation transactions and other transactions covered by the policy are done through a review composed entirely of individuals who do not have any conflict of interest with respect to the arrangement or transaction at hand. Persons determined to have a conflict of interest are prohibited from participating in the governing body's deliberations and decisions in transactions which may relate to the conflict. They rely upon independent comparability data or valuations prior to making a determination. Matters related to compensation rely on external expertise in higher education.
Process for Determining President's Compensation	Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a The current President was hired effective July 1, 2016 as the result of the Presidential Search Committee that was Chaired by a College Trustee and advised by a third party consulting firm. The Board approved the President's contract which spans the four years ending June 30, 2020, and the contract defines the terms of compensation, which was based on a review of comparable compensation of similarly qualified persons, similar positions, and similar organizations. The Presidents salary is to be reviewed annually and the salary may be adjusted upward, by the sole discretion of the board, based on the boards assessment of the Presidents performance. Compensation is contemporaneously documented within the presidential search committee records.
Process for Determining Officer's Compensation	Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Top management's (Vice Presidents and Deans) salaries are reviewed annually by a process similar to all other employees. The President performs a formal evaluation. Using the CUPA-HR annual Salary Survey--the annual performance evaluation and the financial constraints of the College--the President then determines the salary revisions which are reviewed by the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Trustees. All other key employee salaries are reviewed annually by a similar process as the top management. Formal performance evaluations are performed by the supervisor of each key employee with recommendations for salary revisions provided to the top management employee over that area of responsibility. The evaluations and recommendations together with the comparison to the CUPA-HR annual Salary Survey and the preset budget for salary increases are reviewed by each top management administrator with recommendations presented to the President. Final approval is given by the President. Minutes of the human resources committee document the determinations made during executive session.
How Documents are Made Available to the Public	Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 The governing documents and financial statements of the college are available upon request, and financial statements are provided to various State Agencies, US Department of Education, various banks and others per agreement.
