Race and Ethnicity Categories: Race and ethnicity reporting changed in 2010-11, following changes to categories made by the federal government. Individuals are now invited to report all race/ethnicity categories with which they identify; this is the source of the new 'two or more races' category.

Per the federal government, the following derivation logic is applied in identifying a single race/ethnicity category for each individual, based on their self-identified race/ethnicity information:

Non-resident aliens: 

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.

For U.S. citizens and permanent residents:

If ethnicity is identified as ‘Hispanic or Latino’ (regardless of race):

Hispanic or Latino

 

If ethnicity is not identified as ‘Hispanic or Latino’:

If two or more races are identified:  

Two or more races

If a single race is identified:

American Indian or Alaska Native,                 

Asian,

Black or African American,

Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (new in 2010- 11)

White​​​​​​

 

If no race is identified:

Unknown

Enrolled Students

Fall census enrolled student headcounts are as of approximately the third week of fall quarter of each academic year, in early October.

Degree Level: Each student is counted only once. Students pursuing multiple degree programs are counted at the level of their highest-ranking degree program.

School: Enrolled students are counted in the school of their primary major or degree program.  In order for these counts to add up to the total number of enrolled students, a student pursuing more than one major or degree program is counted only once.
