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.
