gender, race/ethnicity, and level (undergraduate, graduate, first-
| professional) enrolled throughout the reporting period. Students

other formal award, as well as those enrolled in courses that are
part of a terminal vocational or occupational program.

| same 12-month period for both undergraduate and graduate

and non-degree students); and retention rates. In even-
numbered years, data are collected for state of residence of first-
time students and for the number of those students who
graduated high school or received high school equivalent
certificates in the past 12 months. Also in even-numbered years,
4-year institutions are also required to provide enrollment data

| by gender, race/ethnicity, and level for selected fields of study.

i In odd-numbered years, data are collected for enrollment by age
