Summary
Presents a count of full-time, first-time, first-year, degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled in postsecondary institutions in the United States and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Included in this count are full-time students who have no prior postsecondary experience attending any institution for the first time at the undergraduate level, and are enrolled in courses for credit who are recognized by the institution as seeking a degree or other formal award. It also includes students enrolled in the fall term who attended college for the first time in the prior summer term, and students who entered with advanced standing (college credits earned before graduation from high school). Statistics here include the number of students enrolled in the fall of the reference year at postsecondary institutions in the United States. Fall enrollment is collected in the spring following the fall term covered by the data collection. Data are reported by race/ethnicity; gender; enrollment status (part-time or full-time); and level of study (undergraduate or graduate); also included are counts of nonresident aliens (i.e., a person who is not a citizen or national of the United States and who is in this country on a visa or temporary basis and does not have the right to remain indefinitely) enrolled in postsecondary institutions. Students reported include those enrolled in courses creditable toward a degree or other formal award; students enrolled in courses that are part of a vocational or occupational program, including those enrolled in off-campus centers; and high school students taking regular college courses for credit. All postsecondary institutions that participate in or are applicants for participation in any federal programs providing financial assistance to students are required to report data using the IPEDS. More than 7,500 institutions complete IPEDS surveys each year. These include research universities, state colleges and universities, private religious and liberal arts colleges, for-profit institutions, community and technical colleges, non-degree-granting institutions (e.g., beauty colleges), and others. Beginning with 2010 data reporting, institutions were required to report race and ethnicity based on 1997 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines, making this series discontinuous with prior data releases.
