General

1) Should I report students enrolled exclusively in non-credit courses?

No. Only students enrolled for credit should be reported, Credit is defined 4s “recognition of
attendance or performance in an instructional activity (course or program) that can be applied
by a recipient toward the requirements for a degree, diploma, certificate, or other formal
award.” You should not report any of the following:

Students enrolled exclusively in courses not creditable toward a formal award

Students enrolled exclusively in Continuing Education Units (CEUs)

Students exclusively auditing classes

Residents or interns in Doctor's - professional practice (previously first-professional),

since they have already received their Doctor's degree

® Students studying abroad (i.e., at a foreign university) if their enrollment at the ‘home’
institution is only an administrative record and the fee is nominal

* Students in any branch campus located in a foreign country

2) Should I include graduate students enrolled in thesis credits in enrollment
numbers, even if they are enrolled in a zero credit placeholder course?

Yes. You should include these students in your enrollment counts, as these students are still
enrolled and seeking their degree.

Unduplicated Count (Part A)
1) Why do the 12-month unduplicated counts need to be larger than the

corresponding prior year fall enrollments (Part A of Fall Enrollment Survey
component)?

The 12-month unduplicated counts must be equal or greater than the corresponding prior year
fall enrollments. Since Fall 2008 falls within the 12-month period currently being reported on the
12-Month Enrollment Survey component (2008-09), the 12-month unduplicated count must be
equal to or greater than the Fall 2008 reported enrollments.

4) How do I report a student who changes levels of enrollment during the 12-month
period?

Students should be reported at their highest level of enrollment. For example, a student enrolled
as an undergraduate in the fall and then as a graduate student in the spring should be reported
as a graduate student on the 12-Month Enrollment Survey component.

institution?

‘There has been no change to how these students should be reported with the new race/ethnicity
reporting method. Foreign students living outside the U.S., such as a foreign student living
outside the U.S. who is enrolled in distance education at your institution, should be classified in
the Race/Ethnicity Unknown category. Only U.S. citizens are to be categorized in the.specific
Race/Ethnicity categories. The non-resident alien category is reserved specifically for students
that are in the U.S. under that specific legal status.

Instructional Activity (Part B)

1) How is the full-time equivalent (FTE) student number calculated in Part B of the
E12 component?

FTE students is calculated based on the total credit and/or contact hours reported in Part B and
the institution's calendar system, as reported on the prior year Institutional Characteristics (IC)
component. The following method is used to convert the credit and/or contact hours reported to
an indicator of full-time equivalent students: CONTACT HOUR REPORTERS: Contact hours are
divided by 900 QUARTER CALENDAR SYSTEM: Undergraduate credit hours are divided by 45 and
graduate credit hours are divided by 36 SEMESTER/TRIMESTER/4-1-4 PLAN/OTHER CALENDAR
SYSTEM: Undergraduate credit hours are divided by 30 and graduate credit hours are divided by
24.
