Age Group:
Annualized:
Calculated as a sum across all three semesters (fall, spring and summer) within a calendar year. The formula is: sum of fall, spring and summer enrollment divided by 2.
Bottleneck Courses:
Courses with filled rate (total seats / maximum enrollment) of 95% or more. The information is listed at the individual course level, including course profile, maximum enrollment, actual enrollment (total seats and full-time equivalent student).
Class Level:
A detailed classification of students of students based upon their academic standing. The level of an undergraduate student as determined by total units earned. For post baccalaureate or graduate students, class level is determined for a student with an acceptable baccalaureate degree. See Student Level for a more general breakdown of student classification.
Cohort Group:
A group of students with similar college experience (First-time freshmen,
Undergraduate Transfers, and First-time Classified Graduates) who matriculate together in the same semester. (Statistical outcomes are considered more meaningful for a homogeneous group).

Definition of Terms.
Course Enrollment:
Enrollment numbers (headcount or FTES) generated thru courses. Therefore, when the information is broken down by college, the enrollment is for college that offered these courses. It is different from Enrollment for majors.
Course Level:
Course Summary:
List of all active courses, offered during a given semester. The information is listed at the individual course level, including course profile, maximum enrollment, actual enrollment (total seats and full-time equivalent student).
Cross listed courses:
Courses that share enrollments between two or more departments/colleges. For example, COMM 168A has Communication Studies for the "home" department and METR, ENVS, GEOL and HUM are "dependent" departments.
Enrollment (Headcount of Majors):
Enrollment numbers of students who have declared majors. Anyone without a major is counted as "Undecided". These numbers are captured at the same time each term, as of the 20th day of instruction (on census date) and have been approved by the Chancellor's Office. It is different from Course Enrollment.
Ethnicity:
State or Federal mandated categories used to describe the racial/ethnic background of the individual. The individual is to be included in the ethnic group to which he or she appears to belong, is regarded by the community as belonging, or categorizes himself or herself as belonging. For more information, see Executive Order 318.
Faculty Rank:
The basic qualifications and standards in academia established to identify the degree and types of achievement. Grades are assigned based on educational level and salary range of the faculty members.
For further information, please refer to Definition of Terms.
Full-time Equivalent Student (FTES):
A full-time equivalent undergraduate is a student who takes 15 credits (SCUs) per semester. A full-time equivalent graduate student is one who takes 12 credits (named Rebenched FTES). Thus, undergraduate FTES is calculated by taking all credits for which undergraduates (also included post baccalaurates and credentials) are registered and dividing that total by 15. Graduate FTES is calculated by taking all credits for which graduates are registered and dividing that total by 12. The sum of these is total FTES. No distinction is made between students registered for graduate or undergraduate courses in calculating student FTE.
For example, three undergraduate students who enrolled 6, 12 and 18 units, respectively are counted as (6 + 12 + 18)/15 = 2.4 FTES. AY FTES is the academic year FTES and is the sum of the fall and spring semester FTES divided by two (i.e., the average of the two semesters). CY FTES is the college year FTES and is the sum of the summer, fall and spring term FTES divided by two.
By using the same formula (see above), FTES is credited to the college/department which offers the courses. A student's FTE is credited to the Journalism and Mass Communication Department when students enrolled in all Journalism and Mass Communication courses, including JOUR, MCOM, and PR prefixes (regardless of the student's major).
By using the same formula (see above), FTES is computed for a course prefix. A student's FTE is credited to the Journalism and Mass Communication Department when students enrolled in Journalism courses (JOUR prefix) only (regardless of the student's major).
By using the same formula (see above), FTES is computed for all courses enrolled by students who declared a given major. It includes all courses on student's class schdules.
Note: Prior to the Fall 2006, FTES were calculated by dividing student credits by 15 for both undergraduates and graduates (named Traditional FTES).
FTES Rebenched:
A full-time equivalent undergraduate is a student who takes 15 credits (SCUs) per semester. A full-time equivalent graduate student is one who takes 12 credits.
FULL-time Students:
Undergraduate: A student enrolled for 12.0 or more student credit units in a semester.
Graduate: A student enrolled for 9.0 or more student credit units in a semester.

Student-Faculty Ratio (SFR):
The ratio of Full Time Equivalent Students (FTES) divided by Full Time Equivalent Faculty (FTEF). For example, if a department employs 10.4 FTEF and teaches classes with a total enrollment of 212 FTES, then the departmental SFR is 212/10.4 = 20.4.

A general classification of students of students based upon their academic standing. The three classifications are: Undergraduate, Credentialed, and Graduate. See Class Level for a more detailed breakdown of student classification
