Enrollment Definitions

Student enrollment is described in terms of both headcount and FTE (Full-time Equivalence)
Student headcount is the count of individuals registered as of the census date.
Student FTE is calculated using two different methods:

Method 1:

Undergraduate FTE = Full-Time headcount + (Part-Time Credit Hours/15)
Graduate FTE = Full-Time headcount + (Part-Time Credit Hours/10)

Method 2: Undergraduate and Graduate FTE = Full-Time headcount + (1/3 Part-Time headcount)

Full-time Status – A student is classified as full-time if they maintain at least 12 undergraduate credits or 9 graduate credits.
