The changes were prompted by the University's switch to a semester calendar and the implementation of a new student information system. Major changes include the following. Data are for the Spring semester, rather than the Spring quarter. Data are as of the end of the second week for the Twin Cities and Duluth campuses. All University College enrollments are now included.
Total enrollments are thus several thousand students higher than reported in previous years.
Most of these additional students are counted as non-degree students in University College. However, students who were previously admitted as degree-seeking students in another college and who are now taking only evening school courses are counted in the college that admitted them. While their numbers are relatively small, they do add to the collegiate totals. Graduate students are now attributed to the college of their department or program home, rather than to the Graduate School. As a consequence, collegiate enrollment totals are increased accordingly and the Humphrey Institute is listed as a separate unit.
