Enrollment
Enrollment statistics in higher education generally fall into three categories: semester-based headcount enrollment -- usually based on the fall term, full-time equivalent enrollment, and unduplicated 12-month enrollment. Each measure is used for different purposes. In general, the default measure is fall headcount enrollment, but check with the Office of Institutional Research, Planning & Effectiveness if you are not sure which measure to use.

Full-Time Equivalent Enrollment
Several accepted methods exist to calculate full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment; these figures represent conversions of part-time enrolled students or instructional activity (credit hours) to transform statistics into a unit of "full-time enrollment," and as such, they are always estimates of activity. If you are not sure which conversion method to use, please contact the Office of Institutional Research, Planning & Effectiveness.
