Enrollment

Enrollment refers to students who have been admitted to the university, paid fees, and enrolled in classes.

The two primary ways of counting enrolled students are counting individuals via headcount (HC) and counting the student workload through the amount of units via full-time equivalent (FTE). The FTE assumptions are 15 quarterly units per undergraduate (45 per year) and 12 quarterly units per graduate student (36 per year). The units measure weekly credit-hours and are recorded at the end of the third week of instruction.
