| 1. This report is based on the Student Enrollment File (ERSS) of
the Enrollment Reporting System. |
|
| 2. The census date for this report is the close of the third
week of instruction for campuses on a quarter system and the fourth week of
instruction for campuses on a semester system across all terms that comprise
the college year. Enrollments are in terms of the net number of students
actively enrolled on the census date. |
|
| 3. The academic year includes fall, winter (if applicable), and
spring semesters. The college year begins with the summer term which is
followed by the fall, winter (if applicable), and spring terms. |
|
| 4. Six of the campuses are on a quarter system that includes a
winter term, while the remaining campuses are on a semester system. CSU
Stanislaus has an academic year consisting of two 13-week semesters and a
4-week winter term. College year enrollments are calculated as follows: |
| • |
Semester
campuses: average of fall and spring term enrollments plus one half of summer
enrollment. |
|
| • |
Quarter campuses:
average of fall, winter, and spring enrollments plus one third of summer
enrollment. |
|
| • |
Stanislaus:
average enrollments are calculated by combining the fall, winter, and spring
terms weighted by 13, 4, and 13 with one half of summer enrollment. |
|
| • |
Summer Arts
summer enrollment is divided by 2. |
|
| • |
International
Programs and CalStateTEACH: average of term enrollments. |
|
|
| 5. Full-time equivalent students (FTES) are calculated using
student level as follows: |
| • |
Undergraduate
and postbaccalaureate full-time equivalent students (FTES) by term are
derived by dividing total semester or quarter term credit units attempted by
15. Annual undergraduate and postbaccalaureate full-time equivalent students,
whether for annualized summer, academic year, or college year FTES, are
derived by dividing total semester student credit units attempted by 30 or
total quarter student credit units attempted by 45. Annual Stanislaus, Summer
Arts, International Programs, and CalStateTEACH undergraduate and
postbaccalaureate FTES are calculated by dividing total student credit units
attempted by 30. |
|
| • |
Graduate
full-time equivalent students (FTES) by term are derived by dividing total
semester or quarter term credit units attempted by 12. Annual graduate
full-time equivalent students, whether for annualized summer, academic year,
or college year FTES, are derived by dividing total semester student credit
units attempted by 24 or total quarter student credit units attempted by 36.
Annual graduate FTES for Stanislaus, Summer Arts, International Programs, and
CalStateTEACH are calculated by dividing total student credit units attempted
by 24. |
|
|
| 6. Regular students are those individuals who attempt 6.1
student credit units or more during a term. Limited students are those
individuals who attempt six or fewer student credit units. As a consequence
of the relatively small workload being attempted, limited students are
charged reduced student fees. |
|
| 7. College Year headcount enrollment and full-time equivalent
student (FTES) totals are often displayed to one decimal place in this report
even though they are calculated to six decimal points in the software.
Systemwide headcount enrollment and FTES results may therefore differ if
campus totals are summed employing different rounding rules. |
|
| 8. For purposes of this report, class level for undergraduates
is determined by the value found in the Enrollment Reporting System data
element Student Level Code. |
|
| Campuses typically determine student level for undergraduates by
the number of accumulated semester or quarter credit hours as follows: |
|
|
Class Level |
|
Semester Hours |
|
Quarter Hours |
|
|
Freshman |
|
Fewer than 30 |
|
Fewer than 45 |
|
|
Sophomore |
|
30 to fewer than 60 |
|
45 to fewer than 90 |
|
|
Junior |
|
60 to fewer than 90 |
|
90 to fewer than 135 |
|
|
Senior |
|
90 or more |
|
135 or more |
|
|
| 9. A postbaccalaureate student holds an acceptable baccalaureate
or its equivalent and has not been admitted to a graduate program.
Postbaccalaureate students in this report are split into those seeking a
basic teaching credential (single subject, multiple subject, or special
education) and all other postbaccalaureate students. |
|
| 10. A graduate student holds an acceptable baccalaureate or its
equivalent and has been admitted to a graduate program. The distinction
between graduate and postbaccalaureate students is based on the information
reported in the Enrollment Reporting System data element Student Standing
Code. |
|
| 11. The College Year Report differentiates student credit units
by the level of the course (lower division, upper division, or graduate)
being attempted. Annualized student credit units (SCU) by course level are
calculated for semester campuses by determining the student credit units
being attempted at each level of course and dividing the result by 2. Quarter
campus annualized student credit units (SCU) by course level are derived by
dividing the student credit units being attempted at each course level by 3. |
|
| 12. "Campus Totals" refer to enrollments for campuses,
excluding supplemental programs operated by the CSU. "System
Totals" include enrollments for Summer Arts, International Programs and
CalStateTEACH. Beginning in college year 1998-99, Statewide Nursing is
included in Dominguez Hills enrollment. |
|
| 13. Tables 1 through 4 describe both term and college year data.
Additional college year summary information is shown on tables 5 through 8.
College-year new student information is presented in tables 9 to 21. The
remaining tables comprising the College Year Report (22 to 36) depict
headcount and academic year data that are useful in the enrollment planning
process. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 14. Resident and nonresident tables are based on fee status.
Students residing in another U.S. state or possession and those students
residing in a foreign country pay nonresident fees. All other students pay
California resident fees. Citizenship alone does not determine fee status. |
