In past years, the Board of Regents has reported both fall headcount and fall FTE enrollments as state-support only. Prior to fall 1992, not all campuses reported self-support course enrollment. Consequently, self-support enrollment information is not uniformly available for those years. Beginning in fall 1992, all campuses were brought into compliance with Board policy on reporting. The historical fall headcount enrollment and the historical fall FTE enrollment tables contained in this edition of the Fact Book reflect the total enrollment on census date for years in which the data are available. All FTEs are based on 15 credit hours for undergraduates, 12 credit hours for master’s and doctor’s degrees, 15 credit hours for Law and 19 credit hours for Medicine. FTE totals may not be exact due to rounding.

In 1990 Congress passed the Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act (Public Law 101-542), which requires that institutions disclose graduation rates of cohorts of students. A cohort is defined as a specific group of students who enter an institution at a designated point as full-time (minimum of 12 credit hours), first-time, degree-seeking undergraduates. A cohort may be adjusted to reflect withdrawal from the institution for specified reasons. This table shows the number of first-time degree-seeking freshman who entered the regental universities in fall 1993 and who graduated in four years. It also shows the number who enrolled for a fifth year in fall 1997.
