Enrollments

Enrollment — Data Sources

The data presented come from Banner Student data, maintained by the Registrar, using a Statistical Analysis System (SAS) query. Using the Banner curriculum code (consisting of the degree college code, degree code and major code), each enrollment is matched with the department and college currently offering the program. Using a table maintained by Institutional Research, obsolete and discontinued college-degree-major codes are assigned to the current department and college that would have been responsible for that program.

The numbers in each cell of these tables represent the number of students who were enrolled in an acceptable degree major at a particular point in time within the semester, either Census Date (C) or End of Semester (EOS). The Census Date enrollments include the population of students that would be counted in the IPEDS Fall Census survey, which excludes some students from the count (i.e., students only enrolled in Study Abroad, professional development, co-op, National Student Exchange or audit courses). The Enrollment reports contained herein contain both duplicated and unduplicated headcounts due to counting the multiple majors of a single student. For example, since every student can only belong to one campus, the aggregated total of students by campus provides a distinct headcount. However, since students can have multiple majors under different degree levels and/or departments, an aggregated total of all students by degree level, department or major would produce a non-distinct total. Distinct Fall Census headcounts should be used for U of I Strategic Plan purposes. Please contact Institutional Research if you have questions (ir@uidaho.edu).

The table, "FTE by College, Department and Level" uses the variable, “FTE in Major,” which is calculated by dividing a student’s FTE by the number of majors he/she has. Students with multiple majors are counted once in each cell in the table as displayed. For example:

A student who is enrolled in two majors in different departments (e.g., History and Political Science) at the same point of time in a given semester is counted once on all rows for that semester, except for those tables showing departments, where they are counted once each in History and Political Science.

A student who is enrolled in two program levels within the same college (e.g., Undergraduate and Graduate) at the same point of time in a given semester is counted once on all rows for that semester, except for those tables showing program level, where they are counted once each in Undergraduate and Graduate program level.

A student who is enrolled in two majors in the same department (e.g., Advertising and Public Relations) at the same point of time in a given semester is counted once on all rows for that semester, except for those tables showing the majors, where they are counted once each in Advertising and Public Relations.

A student who is enrolled in two different degrees in the same department (e.g., a BS ChemE with a major in Chemical Engineering and a BS EnvS with a major in Environmental Science), and a primary advisor in the Chemical Engineering department, is counted once in all tables regardless of the rows displayed, except for those showing the degree and/or major, where they are counted once on each row.

Because each student enrolled has only one “International/Ethnic” classification, the table, “Enrollment by International/Ethnic” provides a total head count of all students enrolled in an acceptable degree major at a particular point in time within the semester. To see what is being counted in each department, refer to the table, “Enrollment by Department, Level, Degree and Major”. In this table each of the unique degree-major combinations is listed separately.
