    Part-time students - fewer than 12 credit units
    Full-time students - 12 or more credit units

3. Admission basis categories of "regular admits," "alternative," and "special admits" are defined briefly in Appendix A.

    7. Enrollments in master's programs (Table 6) include only those students classified as graduate students. Postbaccalaureate students are not included.

    8. Percents by ethnic group, "African American" through "White Non-Latino" sum to 100. Percents of "Total Identified," "Unknown," and "Nonresident Alien" sum to 100.
