The Census Counts report is a simple table of census counts for a selectable set of fall and spring semesters, by student level and campus unit. The census is created at the end of the fifth week of the semester. You can:
- Display the data by headcount or by a prorated headcount, which counts multiple majors as a fractional share of 0.5 or double majors, 0.33 for triple majors, etc.
- Display the data in a table or as a line chart, either by headcount or prorated headcount.
- Drill into campus unit values, allowing you to display data at every organizational level from the campus total to individual major programs.
Prompts
Select one or more values from the Year & Semester drop-down to filter the data included in the report.
Data Views
Select a data view to see the data in a table or a line chart with each semester as a separate data point, as either headcount or prorated. Alternatively, you can see a headcount or prorated table as an average of fall and spring.
