Notes:

• Figures published by DHE may differ slightly from figures published by other institutions and organizations due to differences in timing of publication, data definitions, and calculation logic.

• The most common measure of enrollment is headcount of enrolled students. Enrollment can also be measured as full-time equivalent (FTE) students, a calculation based on the sum of credits carried by all enrolled students. In a fall term, 15 undergraduate credits = 1 undergraduate FTE, and 9, 12 or 15 graduate credits = 1 graduate FTE, depending on the institution and specific graduate program.
